Not hard at all - geerlingguy has a great Ansible role and there are a metric crapton of guides pre-AI/2022 that cover gardening.

This is a great read, but I always seem to run into cases where I need to define something like a security group and then reference it when deploying ec2 instances. I'd love to decouple to reduce my plan time, but I haven't figured a way out as of yet.

To be fair, I haven't used terraform -chdir yet.

I didn't catch this when it was announced earlier this week - I can't say I'm surprised given COVID's effect on things.

The concept is easy to grasp, but for me the challenge is figuring out which testing framework/suite is best for the language I'm dealing with (and then learning the intricacies of how the tooling works).

Not just Terraform, but the rest of the Hashicorp suite is powerful and relatively easy to pick up. At the tail end of last year I taught myself Terraform and I'm looking at Vault next.

Although this seems to be in the beginning stages, I'll be really interested in seeing how they handle the management aspect of Docker. How will networking play out between containers on a single host? Multiple Hosts? The idea of enabling vMotion for individual containers is also pretty interesting. Networking between containers seems like a decent fit for NSX.

This also addresses my main complain about docker in the enterprise - most all docker hosts are VMs themselves, and running docker on a VM host that is running on a hypervisor seems a bit redundant. This could provide all the benefits of containers while removing the middle man (e.g. CoreOs/Ubuntu/whatever).

Enterprise is understandable - businesses may prefer not to use Pro. I don't believe that you can count Windows 10 Mobile/Mobile Enterprise against the count as they are merely part of Microsoft's effort to combine all their platforms under one operating system.

I really like the idea of having an independent mesh network for all my devices/things to track - and at least during pre-orders it seems like a less expensive alternative to other bluetooth tracking devices. The Verge did a write up on Pixie with more details [1].

I can't imagine it was dumb luck that the drunk driver hit that tree, I'm guessing there was a bet/challenge involved.

I'm not opposed to doing some soldering - I'm mostly interested in the entry price. The lack of arrow keys concerns me a bit (but I suppose I could use their layouts to account for that). I'll give those keyboards a look though, thanks!

Hrm, that looks pretty neat, but as someone completely new to mechanical keyboards, I wonder if it would be a good starter.

Last night's atmosphere stood in stark contrast to the evening prior. I think it's due almost entirely to how the state troopers interacted with the crowds. They were in their normal, non-body armor uniforms. They walked among the crowd, exchanged laughs, and generally set the mood at ease. By respecting the protesters, the tensions were lessened - the situation, deescalated. At the same time, the riot ready police were a mile away, ready to take action if required.

Compare that to police in full armor, with tactical weapons trained at the crowd, perched atop armored vehicles... It's no surprise to me that things got so far out of hand on Wednesday, but were completely different on Thursday.

Is it only for one exchange (e.g. message sent and reply)? Also, the background was a bit distracting - but it's an interesting concept.

I was always a fan of Backblaze sharing details about how they built out their storage - it made me feel that if I wanted to, I could also build a redundant/massive storage array.

Or officially support the OS on older models, but leverage new hardware technology so much that it crawls on the oldest phones/tablets.

I don't know... Unless people have specifically been avoiding smart phones/tablets in the expectation that eventually Apple products would become available - I would expect most of them already have devices that are as good, if not better than the iPad/iPhone.

Yes, because the ~6 Million iPhones that didn't get bought were because people were freaked out by the NSA. I think it's more likely because the general public weren't that thrilled with where iOS and the iPhone 5C went.
