Can we just emulate the rules that the torrenting subreddits use? They still exist after years.




AWS is expensive and confusingly structured, but I’ve been impressed with the ECS stuff. The UI for all of it is also way overcomplicated and stupid, but once you have it working it works.


Off the top of my head we use AWS ECS which provides a rolling upgrade method. Push up the new container into ECR (from github actions after they pass tests) run the upgrade command, and new containers will start booting. Once they pass their health checks the load balancer starts serving traffic to them. Once they’re live, the old containers are removed.

We also use a blue/green deployment method so we don’t have to worry about breaking the production database with database changes.


It is confusing, Tor is an excellent privacy tool if used properly (don’t log in to stuff), but I guess it’s still a technical hurdle to most. Probably also from a lack of marketing.

I think in countries where the government is decidedly more authoritarian it’s more known. On my relay right now I see a ton of russian and a smaller amount of German connections.


You’d be surprised at how many imbeciles a simple step like this will weed out. Lotta unqualified people applying to everything


Those onion layers don’t add up to nothing… also I’ve heard it’s under constant attack. Plus not enough people running relays and exit nodes.



What country? Sounds like a kangaroo court or a court staffed entirely by old people.


We were talking about software development and deployment in this thread, not necessarily how easy your desktop GUI is to use.


I mean… all those buttons are essentially just calling a command line in the end. And coding that button takes more work so command line is always going to be more likely to be your only option. If you find commands arcane then that’s probably an argument that the help docs should be clearer or the commands themselves should be clearer.



I am not a full network engineer so take my opinion with a grain of salt. From what I understand, NAT with IPv4 works really really well to mitigate IPv4 address exhaustion. Then there’s an issue with the amount of extra processing switches and routers need to do IPv6, we’re going from 32 bits to 128 bits which is a huge increase and for switches and routers that are handling packets as fast as technically possible with a low amount of resources typically, that’s a not insignificant hurdle.

It’s just easier to do IPv4 in every way, plus that’s what the world’s been using and is used to.


The language this guy is wielding is cringe as hell, has LinkedIn energy all over it.



Yeah that’s probably how your phone gets everywhere, since mobile networks are usually IPv6


I’ve talked to several network engineers over the years about IPv6, engineers that work as hands on with actual production infrastructure as you can get. And they all said that IPv6 would likely never be fully adopted.


That single tool is still propped up by that collective decade of knowledge. ChatGPT would be nothing without sites like stackoverflow


You were able to post on there at all? Don’t they have extremely high barriers to entry for even question comments?


Appreciate the in-depth response! I’ve always been interested in Nix but I’m scared of change lol. And I’m a single systems administrator on a team of mostly non-technicals so large changes like that are … less necessary. Plus you know, mostly dealing with enterprise software on windows unfortunately. One of these days.


Right? If it’s about ease of insight into containers for debugging and troubleshooting, I can kinda see that. Although I’m so used to working with containers it isn’t a barrier really to me anymore.


I wish he had written why he’s so anti-container/docker. That’s a pretty unusual stance I haven’t been exposed to yet.


Where does this guy expect people to find his website? Because there’s only going to be a small amount of nerds who still use RSS feeds. Does he recommend a different search engine?


There’s gonna be plenty of institutional investors and index funds who don’t give a shit about drama that will buy it up regardless.


I have my Plex server in docker container that automatically restarts with the latest image once a week. I believe most vulnerabilities will come from outdated software.

Then I have nginx reverse proxying in front, I’m sure there’s additional safeguards I could throw in there but my instance is private.



Not sure if I’m misunderstanding your comment but… it’s an IPO, they’re going from private to public. Twitter was the opposite, which is unusual. Right now Steve Huffman is the musk of reddit.


I’d suggest making one on programming.dev and advertising it there on the more popular communities
