> In the mild case, the common side effects are blunting of your emotions

Isn't this the primary effect, more than a side effect? Atleast in my case, it's been super helpful, going from jumping between a 1 to 7 in mood, to just lie around 4-5-6.

Distracted me from reading the article, I just started chasing other people around.

Recently finished The DevOps Handbook[1].

Had a lot of nice insight into good ways of doing DevOps, and I found the examples from real companies incredibly helpful in understand how the concepts help in the real world.

Lots of examples without the entire OS as other comments mention, an example would be Googles distroless[0]

I have such a fear for this, that things i invest time/energy into today will be obsolete in half a year, and my time would be essentially "wasted".

As others say, learning the fundamentals will, and trying to get some more general skill out of every tech fad.

(although, full rewrite every 6 months is excessive imo)

I absolutely love how easy it was to capture requests through ADB with your tool, only solution i could find which just worked out of the box.

Motivation is money, the proxy site is serving their own ads.

According to OP, it ranks pretty well on bing.

Does anyone have any experience running kubernetes on hetzner? We're currently using DOKS, but are strongly considering setting something up on bare metal servers, as digital ocean are rather expensive (compared to hetzner that is)

I've been using SonarLint[0] for a while for this, as it not only finds code smells, but also if i do things in a weird way, like doing for(i=0;i>array.length-1;i++){console.log(arrray[i]} instead of just doing for(const element of array).

That i enjoy it.

Some people enjoy doing art.

New comment by nigma1337 in "The Surreal Horror of PAM (2021)"

nigma1337 — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 08:21:26 +0000

I recently wrote my first PAM module, using pam-rs[1] so i could do it in rust.

It was a learning experience, a rather enjoyable one though. While going down the rabbit hole, I feel even deeper when my module kept halting in openssh, due to a bug[2] from 2018.

I didn't really feel the pain of debugging the author had, most likely just because my application was simple enough to be tested via log statements though.

I've only had one experience with azure support, Back when i was first getting into cloud/playing around with servers, I had forgotten to shut down the VPC i rented there, and I ended up with a bill of ~100$, which is a decent chunk for a student.

Wrote to support, explained my situation, and they removed the bill without any hassle.

This sounds rather interesting, mind elaborating how its done? How would they activate when you use them, but not if anyone else does?

I've been using dnsmasq [1] instead of DHCPD, and it's been fairly easy for me (the built in TFTP server made PXE super easy)

It does also seem like the reporter was extremely careful as to not accidentally access user data

nigma1337 — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 12:35:53 +0000

ofc it's real. They're saying "at this date, we wont update it anymore". The router still works, it just isn't updated anymore.

If i had an old product, there's also some point where i'd say "I wont be updating this anymore", as to phase it out. Expecting something to receive active support forever is unreasonable.

I totally agree, and stopped buying cisco a long time ago. 5 years is too short, i think i've had my current router for 10 already.

The EOL sucks, but that's what people kinda signed up for with Cisco.

nigma1337 — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 11:18:00 +0000

I mean, isn't it quite reasonable to not update something post-EOL ? (router EOL of 5 years seems a bit short though)
