DOH is a protection for your privacy from ISP. Actually you can set multi DOH server with load balance to avoid your dns info concentrately collected by one dns provider.

When I coding, most of time was used to search docs over internet. My first language is not english, search over hundrud of pages is quiet slow.

AI help me a lot, you don't need search, just ask AI, and it provide the answer directly. After using AI, I have more time used on coding, more fun.

New comment by finalhacker in "S3 is files, but not a filesystem"

finalhacker — Sun, 10 Mar 2024 12:16:12 +0000

S3 not implementate vfs api, but you can treat it as a software defined storage filesystem. Just like Ceph.

there are so many applications depends on file storage, such as Mysql. But horizontal scale for those app still difficult in many case. Replace from vfs api to s3 storage perhaps is trending in my experience.
