My phone has an option to reboot after a set amount of time has passed without unlocking, I think it’s AOSP, but it could be a CalyxOS custom feature.

Reminder to enable auto reboot on your phone

IT folk got so annoyed about being asked about what happens if you got run over by a bus, they decided to go out and show everyone.

Now make it open source

Go for it!

Hetzner currently doesn’t have a managed kubernetes option, so you have to set it up manually with Terraform, but there are a few terraform modules out there that have everything you need. The rumor is that they are working on a managed kubernetes offering, so that will be something simpler in the future.

Their api is compatible with all the Kubernetes automation, so all the autoscaling stuff is all automatic once you have it set up, and bullet-proof. Just use the k8s HPA to start and stop new containers based on cpu, or prometheus metrics if youre feeling fancy, and then kubernetes node autoscaler will create and delete nodes automatically for you based on your containers’ cpu/ram reservations.

Let me know if you need documentation links for something.

For the firewall issue, could you keep the cluster on its own vpc, and then use load balancer annotations to do per-service firewalls?

Their Terraform support is top notch too, better than AWS.

If your scale is right, both Hetzner and Digital Ocean support the Kubernetes autoscaler.

Digital Ocean is super easy for beginners, Hetzner is a bit more technical but like half the cost.

This only outweighs the per-node overhead though if you’re scaling up/down entire 4vcpu/8gib nodes and/or running multiple applications that can borrow cpu/ram from each other.

If you’re small scale, microVMs like Lambda or fly.io are the only way to go for meaningful scaling under 4vcpu/8gib of daily variation. Also, at that scale, you can ask yourself if you really need autoscaling, since you can get servers that big from Hetzner for like $20/month. Simple static scaling is better at that scale unless you have more dev time than money.

It would take them only a few months. Ukraine is filled with Soviet nuclear technology and Soviet nuclear engineers. They have nuclear reactors. Ukraine is richer than North Korea, and they have their own uranium mines. North Korea spent a couple billion on their nukes, but Ukraine’s military budget is $82B a year, so they could easily surpass North Korea.

Geopolitics experts agree that Ukraine could build a nuke if they wanted to. The issue is that the west definitely would not want to see a world where countries threatened by Russia turn to nuclear proliferation.

Here’s a video from a Danish military analyst talking about the decisions that have to be made on how to secure Ukraine after the war:

It’s important to note, Ukraine is willing to freeze the front line now in return for security guarantees. But If the US or the EU don’t step up to end the war soon, Ukrainian nuclear engineers will.

By this logic, we should still be using copper phone lines, analog TV, and 3G should never get switched off. Obviously there are always budget constraints but technological progress does not wait for shitty vendors.

I work mainly in cloud and Kubernetes environments where this stuff is already automated. New vendors are often just deploying new containers into a cluster.

They should be automated too.

The fact that I can’t use terraform to automatically deploy certs to network appliances is a problem.

To be fair, they’re on a similar trajectory.

It sounds like the issue is specifically with the testing process. Possibly they didn’t test some of the packages properly and accidentally shipped out yield defects like missing memory channels, when they normally would have been scrapped at the factory.

This doesn’t seem like the whole story, and it’s awfully convenient that everything will be fixed AFTER the AMD launch next week, when they’ve known about this issue for over a year.

Alderon Games is accusing Intel of running damage control here.

It’s also a lot easier to scam people by keeping them in the dark and denying them RMAs until their warranty runs out after you sold them a broken product. The whole thing smells like stalling until after the AMD launch next week.

But these eBPF loader bugs are fixed now. Windows drivers are still causing BSODs and will continue to do so until Microsoft adopts eBPF.

Ampere is pretty slow compared to AMD and Intel.
