oh, they'll be repercussions. We, as a nation, will be paying for this for years and years to come.

Which is funny, StoryGraph is a Ruby on Rails app, exposing an API is a doable thing, which leads me to believe it is not a priority or a purposeful design decision.

THIS. Whispering into a slack channel off hours isn’t a way to get on-call support help nor is dropping alerts in one. If it’s a critical issue I’m going to need a page of some kind. Either from something like PagerDuty or directly wired up SMS messaging.

Same. I would fall into the same trap. One more article, another tutorial, another chapter of a book… juuust to make sure I understood the concepts; and what actually helped? Just coding, getting it wrong, fixing it, getting it wrong, fixing it, etc.

THIS! The fact that of all the things we regulate in housing construction by codes, and how we’re turning to view the Internet as a fundamental access need, you’d think we’d be more prescriptive with “in order to make maintenance of this communication medium flexible and future proof, all communication cables in homes should be ran in conduit.”

That’s not true. They HAVE a service that they run, but you can go to their GitHub repository and run your own server and point the app at it.

This right here… when the government can just run exit nodes and case after case comes out about the government capturing data from a tor node they operated, that problem needs solved first.

It would be a win if anyone who didn’t already think Lindel was a lying POS had their mind changed. Sadly shame and logic don’t really work on that crowd.

The problem is in that Cloudflare has already shown through previous actions in dropping 8chan and The Daily Stormer that they are willing to be arbitrators of what is acceptable. So once you're down that slippery slope not removing someone who looks a lot like those two sites translates to tacit approval.

Saab also had the "night panel" feature where when night driving you could turn down the non-essential dash/cluster lights to avoid vision fatigue. I miss cars like that.

I couldn't agree more. I'm unsure why it appears that docker is a such an afterthought.

Admittedly, I need to read deeper into their service mesh proposal, but on the surface I don't understand why they couldn't have worked to integrate with something like Istio?

It’s as if nobody has ever read George Orwell’s 1984: “It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offense.”

That's a limited time offer in light of their recent announcement. The standard price, and indeed the price when you have to renew, is $495 USD (plus applicable taxes).

I LOATHE this direction that Canonical is taking as SNAP is such a steaming pile of shit and it’s being shoved down everyone’s throats. It’s going to be the thing that makes me abandon Ubuntu. It was a neat idea in concept, it’s been horribly executed. If I wanted what you’re trying to push Canonical I’d just rub Qubes OS. Please give SNAP the quick death it needs and deserves!

It’s the public’s network, funded by tax payer money. The fact that they KNOW that they are global targets for cyber attacks and maintain so SO much publicly routable area is beyond irresponsible. Even more irresponsible is I’m positive they IP addresses are hard coded in some of those old systems.

and it's LIVE ;)

While this is true today, it will be changing very shortly. We are full steam ahead and heads down on our migration to Google Cloud Platform. You can follow along on our progress if you'd like at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/migration

GitLab does have a plan to try and mitigate the bulk of pain generated from hosting lots of git repositories against a POSIX based filesystem by abstracting a layer of caching functionality and horizontal scaling. This project is called Gitaly[0] and is being tracked on GitLab.com

This thinking (hybrid cloud for dynamic scale out) is going into our decision at GitLab and makes a lot of sense for us.

Some of the linux questions are flat out wrong or lack appropriate scope. i.e. a question about removing packages lists the only appropriate answer as "rpm -e"; in another about common ports it lists DNS as "23", which is telnet and DNS is on 53. Thanks but no thanks, I think I'll craft my own questions and answers.
