My worst feeling is “I tried that two years ago but couldn’t get enough people interested, so I dropped it…”

I’m a big fan of netdata; it’s part of my standard deployment. I put in some custom configs depending on what services are running on what servers. If there’s an issue it sends me an email and posts into a slack channel.
Next step is an influxdb backend to keep more history.
I also use monit to restart certain services in certain situations.
Same here. The most I get out of might be a pointer to a module that could be a better approach, but the code I get from ChatGPT is usually worthless.
I treat it as my water cooler talk, and maybe I’ll come away with a few new ideas.
I wish it was database agnostic. And I’m slightly concerned about the version three rewrite.
It does look awesome, and I’ll revisit it to see where things are in six months.
Yup! Since 1993… Started Linux on my desktop and haven’t looked back.
I have a problem with Amazon Drive going away for non-photos on December 31st.
For a while, they had unlimited storage and you could use a Linux API to access it – I stored 8TB of data.
Then they set a quota, but for those over quota it was read-only. Oh, and Linux access no longer works.
Now they’ve set a deadline to have everything off by December 31st, but the Windows app still doesn’t work (constantly crashing) and I see no way to get my files.
My favorite exchange on ChatGPT (back in March):
**You**
Tell me a dad joke.
**ChatGPT**
Why did the tomato turn red?
Because it saw the salad dressing!
**You**
Can you explain to me why that joke is funny?
**ChatGPT**
Sure, I'd be happy to explain why that joke is considered funny!
The humor in this joke comes from a play on words and a bit of misdirection. The first part of the joke sets up an expectation that there will be a serious or logical explanation for why the tomato turned red. However, the punchline delivers a silly and unexpected answer that has nothing to do with the actual reason for the tomato's color change.
The play on words is in the phrase "saw the salad dressing." The word "saw" can be interpreted in two ways: as the past tense of "see" (as in, the tomato observed the dressing) or as a cutting tool (as in, the tomato was physically sliced by the dressing). This creates a bit of confusion and a humorous mental image, which is why the joke is often considered amusing. Additionally, the idea of a tomato being aware of salad dressing is absurd and adds to the silliness of the joke.
We went on a bit further with me pointing out that their murder take was distasteful, and it responded that humor is subjective.
I thought you were going to say you liked lint (the source code checker).
We had fiber at our previous house for about six years, and it was great. The prices were lower, the speeds were greater, there were no limits… It’s kind of funny, because it was a college town of about 200K people in the middle of nothing else.
Now I’m up in the suburbs of Chicago where a single town can have a 200K population, but fiber is nowhere on the horizon. Instead we get terrible service that’s constantly showing packet loss with slow transfer rates. We do still have unlimited, but with these transfer rates it doesn’t really matter. :)
As far as monitoring traffic goes, I guess it depends on how you’re doing things. If your DNS requests are still hitting your ISP or aren’t encrypted, then yeah, they might know. I don’t know if they’ll care, but of course not all illegal content is treated the same.
So basically a non-answer to your question, along with me saying I liked having fiber.
It’s already been done, and will soon be revealed…
In the middle of his cage match with Mark Zuckerberg, Musk will say “No, I am your father.” After Zuck yells “Noooo!” he’ll follow up with, “Well, just the AI parts.”
I have one set up as an irrigation controller. I was going to build an OpenStack cluster to test configuration settings on (I run a production cluster at work), but gave up when the supply chain problems happened and prices skyrocketed.
I still use Perl for most things – it’s my go-to language when I have to get something done quickly. And quickly doesn’t have to mean small one-liner scripts.
My biggest reason for using it is that mod_perl is still blazingly fast.
I thought this was an article about the X Windows system based on the preview for the article. Boy are those two similar-looking.
I loved QuickBASIC. I’d write Assembly Language routines in Turbo Assembler and call them from QuickBASIC.
I wrote a DeskMate clone for fun and it was actually pretty decent; TASM gave it decent performance.
Dvorak keyboard mode enabled.
Maybe they ‘won’, but I don’t count a pyrrhic victory as winning. It will take years to recover.
Thank you. I hadn’t considered the payment part. The cloud system that I manage is in education, so everyone pays in advance.
This makes sense, and I’ll start with a lower number and ask it to go up later. It will take a couple of months to migrate everything from Linode anyhow, so I don’t need them all at once.
My identity infrastructure alone uses a whole bunch of servers.
There are the three Kerberos servers, the two clusters of multiple LDAP servers behind HAProxy, the rabbitmq servers to pass requests around, the web servers also balanced/HA behind HAProxy… For me, service reliability and security are two of the biggest factors, so I isolate services and use HA when available.
Growing up we had two large mulberry trees in the yard, and every summer I was sent out daily to pick a bucket full of mulberries. My Mom made mulberry syrup, mulberry jam, mulberry clafouti, put them in fruit salad, and, of course, made mulberry cobbler.
This brings back memories. Thank you for sharing!
