It can use sqlite (single master), or for cluster it can use pg, or mysql, but etcd by default

See https://github.com/k3s-io/kine, k3s uses this to shim etcd to MySQL, Postgres and sqlite

Gitlab supports references between projects as well, we use it at work all the time.

And F# which is more pythonlike already supports this via dotnet fsi - see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/tools/fsharp...

If you want it to start up quickly, you can easily covert it to native code using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/

Yep, invented in 1979 and also the core data structure of crypto block chains

New comment by davidgl in "Back to basics: Why we chose long-polling over websockets"

davidgl — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 16:02:52 +0000

We use it in a production system on the aspnetcore stack, and it's been bulletproof for a number of years.

We have lots of proxies in the way, and old tech on certain networks, and at this moment we are 97% websockets, 2% server side events, 1% long polling, and it's all transparent to me, brilliant.

I've got a couple of free arm machines setup as a cluster for learning k8 + a few LB in front of it. I use k3s, with pg rather than etcd. Been a great learning experience.

Perfect, run loads of f# and c# on Linux, and have for years

Yep, it's a cluster OS. If you need to run a cluster, you need to explore and understand the trade offs of k8s versus other approaches. Personally I run a small cluster on k3s, for internal tools, and love it. Yes it's a load of new abstractions to learn, but once learnt if really helps in designing large scalable systems. I manage lots of pet machines and VMs for clients, and it would be soooo much easier on k8.

New comment by davidgl in "Tailscale SSH is now Generally Available"

davidgl — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 11:09:49 +0000

From the tool itself:

SSH to a Tailscale machine

USAGE tailscale ssh [user@] [args...]

The 'tailscale ssh' command is an optional wrapper around the system 'ssh' command that's useful in some cases. Tailscale SSH does not require its use; most users running the Tailscale SSH server will prefer to just use the normal 'ssh' command or their normal SSH client.

The 'tailscale ssh' wrapper adds a few things:

* It resolves the destination server name in its arguments using MagicDNS, even if --accept-dns=false.

* It works in userspace-networking mode, by supplying a ProxyCommand to the system 'ssh' command that connects via a pipe through tailscaled.

* It automatically checks the destination server's SSH host key against the node's SSH host key as advertised via the Tailscale coordination server.
