Docker Hub Is Down 10 months ago

I usually do upstream image mirroring as part of CI. Registries are built into GitLab, AWS (ECR), GitHub, etc

Thank you for your efforts.

One of my favorite quotes of all time:

"’Tis an absolute and, as it were, a divine perfection, for a man to know how loyally to enjoy his being. We seek other conditions, by reason we do not understand the use of our own; and go out of ourselves, because we know not how there to reside. ’Tis to much purpose to go upon stilts, for, when upon stilts, we must yet walk with our legs; and, when seated upon the most elevated throne in the world, we are but seated upon our breech." — Michel de Montaigne, Essays, "Of Experience"

I like the contemporary translations floating around the web "even on the highest throne in the world, we still sit on our ass"

JuiceFS requires a backing object store like s3/minio that it “flushes” to persist data. If you want to run it distributed it uses a few other services.

I’d use object storage if I wanted simple in the replicated, jbod disk management and access control senses of simple. If I had to use file storage I’d use boring old sftp or smb on top of zfs on a NAS

If anyone's curious, the current system is laughable. I flew after getting my wallet stolen in a smash and grab.

If there's nothing going on behind the scenes it's just more security theater.

3 words: Service Level Agreement

I've caught a big cloud provider not reporting a degraded service, I assume they knew but politics and $ come in and it's easier to just gaslight everyone. I get it, but my frustration is worth loosing a trailing 9.

I think there should be some 3rd party continuously testing APIs. Degraded states are downtime!

Working on a sort of universal dock for usb mass storage devices. It's a little linux box wallwart, udev rule, fstab, systemd unit config generator that runs scripts when the device is plugged in.

I've used this pattern for automating stuff with my Point and Shoot Camera and Kindle. Attempting to make it simple and accessible to non techies

It's concise, simple, portable so I can use whatever text editor or notes app. I've gotten burnt out on switching.

Lifehack for rice friers: Use leftover rice or make sure the rice is dryer than fresh out the pot.

I boil it, then throw it in the oven or microwave it, stir a few times so there's less moisture. If the rice grain is too moist the outside of it wants to stick to the pan instead of itself.

A lot to be said about automation (or anything sort of skilled work) and making sure your inputs are consistent.
