This is bloody good

This is impressive, inspirational.

I wish these tools like Cursor, Windsurf etc. provide free option for working with open source projects, after all they trained their models via open source code.

I worked there for a few years during the Novell/Attachmate management. They had a strong bias towards the kernel teams and engineers. They had an european work culture and some very good leads. Their Engineers were very good. The internal mailing lists were ripe with technical discussions. Got some amazing friends and inspirational engineers with whom I would love to work again.

However, There were infighting between the GNOME and KDE desktop teams. The VPs were mostly overpaid and practically useless. The constant churn of acquisition, looking for a new buyer, etc. did not help their long term cause.

With the older system software (kernels, compilers, etc) and infra layer getting commoditized I wonder how long they may remain relevant. When they brought in a new CEO and acquired Rancher I hoped that they may recover with K8S etc, but the CEO has quit and the acquisition has not done much it seems. Until they remove some dinosaurs from the old management at VP levels, I honestly do not see any recovery for them. Thumbs up for the Engineering (and leads) and heavy thumbs down for the Management, is how I remember my time there.

Congrats on the launch. I have a golang backend, postgres db and a react app. I have added auth using email, password salting and saving in pg. It was about 1 day of work to implement all of this.

I do not have OAuth or SAML however. Is that the differentiating factor, if I have to use your solution ? Is a basic auth setup such a complex thing to handroll ourselves ? I do not intend to be snide but genuinely curios about it. Incorporating your project, its lifecycle management, etc. seems more work than implementing a 3-4 APIs (/signup /signin /verify-email /forgot-password /reset-password) and a periodic job (trigger emails and stuff). Is it so complex that we should bring in a new dependency with its own deployment, backup, monitoring etc. lifecycle management ?

Why would the hetzner vm fail the uptime tests randomly ? Did you investigate it ? Could it be some kind of DDOS prevention on Hetzner ?

Prettier was inspired by gofmt.

But I really wish gofmt gets inspired by prettier and automatically breaks long (80+ columns) lines into smaller lines (For example, move parameters of a long function each into their row).

If you hillary your emails

LOL

I recently bought a home and had to spend a lot of time with a professional interior designer to explain the interior ideas that I had in my head. However, I was not fully satisfied with the video model, that the designer prepared, as there were problems in conveying my vision.

I so wish that I had your website a few months back. It is quite nice. This understands what I want clearly, and helps me play with various options almost instantly. If one has worked with some of the outdated interior modelling tools, they will understand what slowness pain, I am referring to.

Offtopic: I just looked through your website and I am so mighty impressed by you. Huge respects.

What stops you from running postgres on the same vm/machine as your app ?! You avoid the network and reap all the benefits of the NVMe storage.

Look at ory.sh tools

We tried using keycloak in a startup where I worked. It needed a loooooooot of memory and was very slow to start. It probably needed some JVM tuning, but we were just deploying as a stateful set (for the postgres). The docker images were also huge.

We had to use another FOSS project called Gatekeeper as an authentication software along with keycloak, which got obsoleted and replaced with a different project (lukedo proxy or some such).

The community support was also relatively not that active like other FOSS project that we used (for other areas of the stack). Overall, the experience was not so great that we decided to ditch both keycloak and gatekeeper. This was about a couple of years back. Not sure what the current status is.

Some other alternatives that we wanted to try were from the Ory project (Kratos etc.) But we just went with some proprietary AUTH solution in our startup.

Please make full sized keys for up and down arrows, with the arrow keys in an inverted T shape. Group function keys in groups of four.

Also provide Mac style keyboard if possible with a command key. I use mac keyboard because it is safer on wrists and thumbs.

All the best.

Absolutely not. We use pepper in every meal while cooking. Omeletes, Chutney, Sambar, Pongal. In fact I do not remember a single day where I had food without Pepper and Cumin mixed in some form.

Nice handle.

This comment helped me understand the problem and the solution better (along with a few followup tweets by the tailscale engineers). Thanks.

Because Apple does not have their own service centers in India. It has been outsourced, sub-contracted again to mulitple layers that any meaningful repair/service is impossible in India.

https://twitter.com/yadav_monica/status/1292047281676382210 is another instance where a teacher from India used a smartphone and a refrigerator tray for sharing hand-written notes. I believe that this would give more clarity than the surface area of the CD.

Thanks :) I appreciate your good intent. But at this stage of life, job and financial status, I cannot afford to work lesser. May be things would become easier in a couple of years.

the Indian equivalent of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is "Kaun Banega Crorepati"

The North Indian equivalent is called so. Atleast, In TN we have our own version of the show, based on the same "Crore" denomination but not thus called.

Ex-SUSE engineer here. Without a doubt SUSE is the best place that I have worked for in my career of 15+ years, across multiple companies.

They are neither mediocre nor a behemoth. They have some excellent engineers. SUSE has worked on Ceph even before RedHat acquired Ceph. OBS and SUSE Studio had envisioned containers even before the market was ready. SUSE has some prime contributors for Linux kernel, GCC, Linux HA etc. Greg KH was a SUSE employee once, before moving to linux foundation. Technologically, they are far from mediocre.

In my personal experience, SUSE always felt that they had good engineers but somehow lacked the sense of making enterprise sales or generating postive news. The company being head-quartered in EU and not in California may also be a reason for the lack of the news. During my times, they were going through multiple rounds of acquisitions and nothing was stable in the vision of the company. The SUSE management did not feel like a Behemoth because they were trying to satisfy their investors in Novell, Microfocus, etc.

Plenty. They even blocked github once because (do not laugh) some people used it to share pirated movie links.

You are a hero sir and thanks for all the effort that you have contributed for redis. Someday, I too hope to create a project that would touch at least a fraction of as many people as redis did. You are a big inspiration. All the best for whatever you want to do next.

This turned out to be a good advice. I am evaluating if it is possible to somehow intelligently sample the data when it comes to ELK. Something like an average of 1min data via a logstash filter. We could do this from our backend programs too, but for now, I am trying to do this in ELK during the writes.

Also we do not use Clickhouse, but I will see if I can somehow do a sampling rate in the reads, during my read queries. Thanks.

We are yet to try any other technology and this post is primarily for seeking those candidates.

We could not get away with saving less data, for reasons beyond the scope of this post (non-technical reasons).

Sorry I was wrong. It takes about 12.5GB diskspace for 25million records. I took two days disk size. Updated the post now. Thanks for spotting it. Also, the diskspace is what is occupied by elastic and so it might contain any extra index sizes too. Not the size of the actual data alone.

Are there any tools to migrate from elasticsearch to timescale ? We are considering a switch from our es and are evaluating options. Timeseries is also one of the contenders. We are not looking for text search just some nested queries on a timeseries data.

I have used (and still using) keycloak and gatekeeper for some projects which we use in prod as well. They are very good and stable, but require a lot of memory. I came across ory when I was searching for alternatives for keycloak. Keycloak is done in Java and the JVM is quite hungry. Also, there are no official helm charts etc. and the project does not feel cloud native. However, when the alternative is choosing auth0 and paying a lot of money, can't complain about keycloak.

I do not intend to discourage you from doing this, all the best. But did you check out keycloak or ory.sh before you tried to do this from scratch ?
