No. OIDC and in general identity management + entitlements in a large business organization is complex because we need that complexity.

Your comment has a bit of an inexperienced smell. Business auth infinitely more complex than saving a user and salting/hashing his password.

> There must be a behavioral pattern there...

The pattern is that your comment is very far from reality.

Well the disadvantage is that you're responsible for your companies keycloak.

A lot of people using docker or even k8s don‘t know that by default, a service is available to all other services via the service name defined in the compose file or your yaml specs. Docker compose builds an implicit bridge network. Most internet tutorials are wrong here and bing ports publicly to your ipv4 interface. So if you follow them you‘ll accidentally expose your database or similar to the public web

For now. Valve has a long history of shipping compatibility after release.

You can choose to not host your game on steam. Plenty of developers do.

You can do this with a bunch of clones. But this will make your software slower and kind of defeats the entire purpose.

> docker compose pull && docker compose up -d is a fine command if you are SSH’d into the host. At customer scale—dozens of self-managed environments behind firewalls, each with its own change-control process—that manual process doesn’t scale.

We just use ansible for this part.

A really nifty thing is that you can also of course bind this to the device's tailscale ip!

Also you don't even need the loopback address if the traffic is between one container and another, just a bridge network is fine.

You won't get any benefits using async with CPU heavy code. Quite the opposite really.

Comments like these are so incredible far fetched from reality. Are you really going to implement your own PyTorch? Why even compare your cute examples to enterprise solutions?

As you have been reminded of in other comments, there is no "enough battery backup". These weather events aren't exactly rare either. Germany for example has on average multiple episodes of both subnormal wind and sun energy production in high-pressure systems.

So in essence they studied all of six (6) panels in a non-dusty region with a mild climate and without notable saline corrosion AND the article even mentions that most other studies are well in the 25-30 year range. Also the study clearly outlines that older silicone panels can't be compared against modern mass produced variants. Finally the study only examines modules that are still working, failed or removed systems are not in the dataset so you have heavy hidden distortion.

The sample size is extremely limited. Six systems are not at all robust enough for global conclusions. This popsci article of yours doesn't hold up to scrutiny and neither it nor the study are enough to make sweeping generalizations like declaring the common 25 year lifecycle a myth.

On ash and slag heaps that are incredibly toxic to their surroundings. Current research suggests that living in the vicinity of such a heap has an immense effect on cancer rates.

Pah! We have a lot of those places but excessive federalism has every German state blocking any concrete plan.

Not only that, aggressive cuts to the EEG subsidies killed dogfooding their own solar industry in the country.

> It won't matter that it is a lie, as nuclear was destroyed by the conservatives (just like our solar industry, incidentally), not the green party.

Now that is a lie. The anti-nuclear push came from the Greens in the 90s. Conservatives just used it for a quick win once that policy became very popular in Germany.

Germany has one of the world's highest energy costs because taxes on electricity are astronomical. This is a selfmade problem.
