I remember when I was asked to replace a core router with a more powerful model. The uptime of the Cisco router was ten years - and it was ten years after the datacenter went into service.

This recommendation is currently broken. Even when you pin the full commit SHA for an action, that action may still pull in transitive dependencies (other actions) that aren't pinned.

I opened the link and didn’t expected a report about younger drivers. This link is about older drivers: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casua...

In addition to the two-minute interruption notice, rebalance recommendations[0] allow you to handle interruptions even more gracefully.

Thank you. BetterDisplay is exactly what I need for my 4K 32 inch screen.

Many talks are usually available in the live stream and on demand.

Sometimes users will still get errors from PowerDNS directly, but I added some logging of all the errors that users see, so hopefully I can review them and add extra translations if there are other common errors that come up.

I noticed that you are using our Go module to access the API. It is wonderful to see our work helping others build great software, especially for education. Thank you for that.

Please note that the upstream API sometimes changes slightly between minor releases. For example, prior to v4.9, the error response for a non-existent server was "Not Found". Starting with v4.9, it changed to "Method Not Allowed".

Unfortunately, error responses aren't always part of the API specification. I'm thinking about adding the most common cases to the module anyway.

Gaudí built a small school right next to the Sagrada Família. It was dedicated to the children of the workers, mostly from underprivileged classes.

Barcelona is full of obvious and hidden examples of Gaudí‘s humanity.

At the moment there is still a one-time order fee for dedicated servers and the docs don’t clarify if it will remain.

I think it helps to speak the same „language“ as the manager. Add price tags to the infrastructure development or technical debt. This may add an important perspective to the discussion for both sides.

Unfortunately it was skipped without replacement last year.

I am so glad that the congress is back. It's been an important event for me for more than a decade, and has been a huge gap between Christmas and New Year since it was cancelled during Covid.

I've been a very happy Roundcube user for a decade without a single problem. Also worth mentioning, their CLI update script just works without a hitch.

I'd like to see Nextcloud adopt Roundcube's commitment to reliable software. I've tried migrating my calendars, reminders and contacts several times, but it's never worked reliably. There were often subtle problems such as missing calendar entries that simply disappeared without a trace.

This has worked incredibly well for about two years now.

This reminds me of a problem I had a few years ago. Whenever I sat down on my office chair, my monitor turned black for a few seconds.

One day I started to understand what’s happening when I touched the aluminum Apple keyboard while being electrically charged. I was wondering how it was possible to get an electric shock since my Mac Mini had no connection to ground via its IEC-60320 C7/C8 connector. I learned that the Mac Mini grounds itself via DVI.

Turned out the pressure cylinder of the chair caused some kind of electromagnetic pulse, which interfered with the DVI signal and forced the monitor to resync every time I sat down.

Back in school, we learned how basic binary protocols work using DCF77 as an example. We decoded it on a piece of paper. Good old times.

Either Lightsail, or just the default VPC that all AWS accounts come with.

If you think your use case needs private/public subnets, NAT, complex routing tables, etc. you can still add that to the default VPC later.

A few years ago, when what we now call EC2 classic was a thing, there were no sophisticated networking options at all. I assume VPC and its services were introduced because customers asked for something that feels like traditional datacenter networking.

Decide upfront what you're going to work on.

Behind the fear of releasing is often the fear of exposing your work, and yourself, to criticism.

When I plan to release my project's source code, it has helped me to release parts of the project up front as single-purpose libraries. This helps me think in smaller chunks of work, and makes me feel like I'm finishing more often. It also shortens the feedback cycle.

Actually this is Hetzner’s second attempt offering Arm-based dedicated servers. They launched the AX10 model[1] in 2015[2]. It seems like they started to use the “AX” prefix for the AMD-based line later.

Since I’m using a password manager, I’m generating >24 digit passwords, because I’ll never have to type them. You would be surprised how many websites cut everything after 24/32 digits during registration without notice, but suddenly allow more digits in the login form, leading to login issues.
