uberduper··on Kubernetes Exposed: One YAML Away from Disaster
Skeptical-o-meter just went over 9000.
uberduper··on Want employees to return to the office? Then give each one an office
Yup. If I had a 10 minute or less commute and decent coffee at the office, I'd have no major objections. But I have a 45 minutes with zero traffic (1.5hr+ with traffic) commute and Seattle's Best essence of ashtray coffee.

I didn't word my statement well. Yes, you can enable unauthenticated requests and you can grant the anonymous role access to the api. I didn't recall `--anonymous-auth` to be true by default.

I'm not familiar with w/e issue of Ubuntu caused `search domains` to end up in your resolv.conf. I'm skeptical it wasn't just a misconfiguration. At any rate, you had a problem with your host configuration.

The kubelet will merge the hosts resolver config with the cluster config to generate a resolv.conf file for the pods it runs, resulting in the issue you described. This can cause other annoying dns issues. It has nothing to do with CoreDNS. The only way I've found to disable this kubelet behavior is to start the kubelet with `--resolv-conf=/dev/null`

Because namespaces are security boundaries? Don't tell me you make a namespace for each and every application or service.

I don't recall Kubernetes ever allowing unauthenticated access to the api. I could be wrong tho since I never considered trying to run it sans auth.
uberduper··on Kafka vs. Redpanda performance – do the claims add up?
True. I wasn't trying to suggest there wasn't a bias here or minimize Confluent's involvement in the project.

MongoDB moved on from mmap at version ~3.6. WiredTiger can be configured to fsync every commit. Enjoy trying MongoDB!

PS: I really miss working with mongodb. It's been almost 7 years since I last used it. I'm surprised I don't see it mentioned very often anymore.

uberduper··on Kafka vs. Redpanda performance – do the claims add up?
Apache Software Foundation owns Kafka.

If your workload demands it, then by all means set log.flush.interval.messages=1 or find an alternative solution that is a better match for your requirements.

Kafka has never pretended that ack'd messages have been persisted to disk, only that they've been replicated per your requested acks.

uberduper··on Xterm: It's better than you thought (2021)
My terminal tabs get titles that I can see. My terminal tab shortcuts are consistent with other apps like browsers. I have workflows that depend on me creating a new tab with a bunch of envvars set and having those envvars replicated to any pane/split I create within that tab.

I use tabbed layout for grouping some things in i3/sway/hyprland like chat apps. It works well but those are things I just open once and don't think about again. Terminals are opened and closed constantly and I don't want to have to think about, or fix, new window positioning. A new tab in the existing window is going to be exactly where I expect it to be and have no impact on the positioning of any other window.

uberduper··on The Role of Diet on the Gut Microbiome, Mood and Happiness
My understanding of the low carb argument here is that LDL isn't inherently bad, but oxidized LDL is and that LDL requires a high blood sugar environment for oxidation. I don't have any reason to know if that's right or wrong. I hope it's right, but I also have made efforts to avoid processed meats high in saturated fats (like salami, cold cuts) just in case.
uberduper··on 3dfx: So powerful it’s kind of ridiculous
I worked at 3dfx in their final months. I watched as workers from NVIDIA broke down and hauled off a large number of netapp shelves (seemingly without labeling them).

3dfx was run like a frat house. It was fun while I was there, but it wasn't a surprise when they announced they were shutting down.

uberduper··on The artificial sweetener erythritol and cardiovascular event risk
Monkfruit is "300x sweeter than sugar." I have no idea how they measure this. I've never tasted monkfruit or an undiluted extract. They mix it in with erythritol to try and match the sweetness and appearance of sugar.
uberduper··on The artificial sweetener erythritol and cardiovascular event risk
Allulose is about 70% as sweet as sugar but tastes much more like sugar than the other sugar alcohols. Allulose caramelizes (tho you should not try to make caramel with allulose. (you've been warned.)) It dissolves much better than erythritol. Allulose has a consistency more like dextrose than table sugar. More like a powder. It behaves more like sugar in baked goods.

Erythritol has a kinda minty aftertaste.. like on the exhale that can be unpleasant if it's not overpowered by something else.

All that said, I still prefer an erythritol + monkfruit sweetener in beverages. Erythritol is easier on my stomach in larger quantities.

uberduper··on Wine Wayland Driver
I had a very different '90s than you did, it seems.
uberduper··on Wine Wayland Driver
afaik there are various distros that will give you a preconfigured out of the box swaywm based desktop env. Garuda linux comes to mind.

The sway wiki is pretty detailed and iirc has a helpful page full of options for various "not the compositor's job" tasks like notification daemon, app launcher, etc.

uberduper··on Amazon employees push CEO Andy Jassy to drop return-to-office mandate
I have numerous emails and messages from agents (recruiters) of the company assuring me that positions were fully remote. I was sent plenty of job descriptions that specifically stated they were fully remote positions.

Maybe that means I would have been rif'd in one of the "okay we have to call it a layoff" layoffs before this policy tho.

uberduper··on Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives
>Oh you definitely don't in theory. But you totally do in practice. There's no good reason, it's just the actual experience many people have.

What are you referring to here?

That's like saying it's low value tedium to set folder view in finder to compact. Or trying out Rectangle or one of the auto-tilers, enable night shift.. They're preferences and I don't see how the experience would differ from one OS to another. Maybe you like the way everything works out of the box on OSX. That's cool. I don't. I don't really like how any OS (or wm or compositor) works out of the box.

uberduper··on Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives
I don't understand why you'd need to configure x11 or networking more than once.

My routine maint tasks are `fwupdmgr get-updates` and `yay -Syu --devel` followed by `reboot`

I'm not sure what else people are doing other than tinkering with how things are setup. I spend a lot of time trying out other window managers and compositors or setting up various keybinds or automations I think would be useful, but I don't consider those maintenance tasks.

uberduper··on Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives
I have a 2006 Mac Pro with a 32bit efi. Apple released an, I think, 8800GT gpu in the 2008 model and explicitly prevented it from being used in the 2006 mac. I don't remember exactly when, but I think by 2010 the 2006 Mac Pro was EOL and "couldn't run" the next major version of OSX. I think they blamed the 32bit EFI. There was a fairly easy workaround for this so I was able to keep installing updates for quite some time.

The old macbooks with the coreDuo CPUs, only lasted a few years before a next major osx release dropped 32bit cpu support.

I have a 2011 15" macbook pro that Apple ended the life of around 2015 or 2016, I believe, by discontinuing the GPU drivers in next major osx release.

How many releases do you think before x86 is dropped completely from OSX?

uberduper··on Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives
I still own too many Macs that Apple arbitrarily decided I shouldn't be able to use anymore. As much as I'd like a new M mac, I wont buy one until I know I can run problem free linux on it when Apple decides it's time for me to upgrade again.
uberduper··on Linux 6.2: The first mainstream Linux kernel for Apple M1 chips arrives
They don't think about the time they spend updating brew, or dealing with pipx, or waiting for corporate McAfee AV to update, or figuring out weird docker/rancher/podman on osx issues, or "ffff `date` doesn't work that same as anything else..."
uberduper··on 27 Genetic Variants Linked to ADHD
I think the trouble really starts when you have ADHD for things you love.

Just because you can't comprehend what people are going through doesn't mean they can't be going through it.

uberduper··on Why the conventional wisdom on how to grow muscles is wrong
ketogains is a good protocol. That sub makes me /groan tho.

TKD/CKD are variations which incorporate controlled carb intake to promote rapid glycogen recovery. Most people aren't training hard enough to need this.

uberduper··on Why the conventional wisdom on how to grow muscles is wrong
You need a better source, my dude. And probably more protein.

uberduper··on Method for reducing coffee acidity
There can be a substantial difference in the flavor of coffee based on the composition of the water used to brew it.

Softer water doesn't necessarily mean better or worse tasting coffee. Just different tasting coffee. Hardness of the water impacts extraction yield from the coffee. Alkalinity will have a huge impact on the acidity, or "sour" notes in the coffee and you can adjust this to taste.
