Not disputing the overall feeling about the changes at Bitwarden but "Always free" phrase is still actually there if you're creating a personal Free account.

As a customer, I am OK with most increases but not the object storage one. This one has some quality issues and is no longer competitive in price either. I'm thinking of moving S3 part to OVH.

Is there any reason it wouldn't work with podman?

New comment by gerty in "Comparing K3s with vanilla Kubernetes"

gerty — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 17:36:23 +0000

Is there any advantage of running k3s if you want to keep etcd? I understand that most k3s performance gains come from etcd being replaced by sqlite but if you still want a HA control plane, sqlite won't cut it.

What went wrong with ONNX? Why didn't it work out?

I've been a user for nearly 10 years and still only a few people in my circles uses Signal. If they go through with this, Signal is as good as dead.

I don't understand why Executive Order is even considered as a starting point after JCPOA debacle.

New comment by gerty in "TIL–Python has a built-in persistent key-value store (2018)"

gerty — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 19:14:45 +0000

It's not built-in, of course, but if you can live with the quirky API, LMDB as an embedded key-value store will be hard to beat in terms of speed. It can also do "one-writer, many-readers" and transactions.

New comment by gerty in "Podman 4.2.0"

gerty — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 07:31:37 +0000

RHEL 8.6 upgraded podman from v3.3 to v4.0.2, so v4.2 is not outside the realm of possibility in the next release. Since podman development is driven by Red Hat, I feel that podman upgrades get quite some leeway... Very impatient to test out the play kube functionality managed by systemd.

Will this eventually make it to RHEL8? Today it's at 4.0.2.

There are also alternative ways of sending a message, e.g. targeting of US soft power. While INSTEX was not a huge success in its time, an alternative payment mechanism that works around US sanctions aligns well with French (and even EU) interests and strongly against US.

It's not just a contract though. France actually has a maritime border with Australia and its own interests in the Pacific -> the entire French Pacific strategy was wiped out by 3 "allies" behind its back.

gerty — Sun, 25 Apr 2021 15:10:43 +0000

Oh, please, cry me a river. There's always a law to bomb another country, spy on the RoW, hack ally infrastructure, renege international treaties or put on some tariffs on imports from friendly countries, but somehow a minor contractual clause grinds to a halt export of vital medicine supplies during a pandemic.

How proficient do you have to be in Redis to have fun in such a hackathon? I use Redis mostly in combination with Python Celery.

As far as I remember, it's a first time there are separate devrooms for Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice. It's been 10 years now, is it me or it feels like a waste of efforts ?

New comment by gerty in "Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?"

gerty — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 21:48:05 +0000

If you voted YES and were able to choose among the available (Western) vaccines, BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna or Oxford/AstraZeneca, which one would you take? Does it matter for you?

So many invasive species beside mosquitoes. Box tree moths have now invaded huge chunks of Western Europe. Depending on the year, they can be abundant and have done some serious damage to green areas.

Without decent understanding of how options work, even iron condors can turn bad. You are writing options, so you're still running assignment risk or pin risk. It's mostly benign if you know what you are doing but can be a brutal lesson if you just clicked because you think "it's staying the same".
