Oh hey that's me! Yeah I don't think you would want to use this, it was never used outside some smaller automation utils afaik.

I've dialed down a lot as well. The answers I got for my queries were too often plain wrong.

I instead started asking where I might look something up - in what man page, or in which documentation. Then I go read that.

This helps me build a better mental map about where information is found (e.g., in what man page), decreasing both my reliance on search engines, and LLMs in the long run.

LLMs have their uses, but they are just a tool, and an imprecise one at that.

We are still using Confluence on-prem (behind VPN). To switch, we need the following:

- An export function (PDFs).

- An integrated diagram editor like Gliffy.

- History / diffs.

Outline is the closest to this so far, but we are in no rush, so we'll watch the development of this as well. Thanks for sharing!

As a young linux admin I had a webserver crash and fail to boot afterward.

I used a live CD to boot it, but could not fix the boot partition.

Since I was able to read the root partition I chrooted into it and started nginx from there.

It ran like that for a week while I was preparing a replacement.

I am the owner of @href, which seems to be used in web scraping contexts. I get pinged about once a week.

Can anyone explain the `wrmsr -a 0xc0011029 $(($(rdmsr -c 0xc0011029) | (1<<9)))`? It seems to help on my system, but I don't understand what it does, and I don't know how to unset it.

Fly works on a new and interesting platform paradigm by writing a lot of their software stack from scratch.

Unfortunately, such an approach is unlikely to produce the same stability you might be used to from other places.

While it's not a tool I love, we have been running it for over a year, without issue.

We store maybe 250GB worth of logs in each instance, and ingest an estimated 1-2k lines a second.

As long as there is creativity in programming, and I think there is a fair bit of that, AI is just going to be a tool.

GPT-4 is great at sourcing human knowledge, but I think it can't really walk unbeaten paths. This is where humans shine.

Case in point: I tried to ask the AI to come up with a new World War Z chapter set in Switzerland, and it was unable to produce anything original. I had to keep feeding it ideas, so it could add something new and interesting.

Sadly, I feel the same way. With prices going up everywhere, I have to cut some subscriptions, and Kagi will be one with this change.

This. I moved multiple web applications from bare-metal to the cloud, and many times had to refactor code to do hit the disk less. What worked before: Dozens of SQL queries, or loading session data from a file - for each request - it all was too slow in the cloud.

Also: I find that many engineers wouldn't be able to tell you if the storage attached to their VMs was networked, or actual hardware on the hypervisor. A distinction that has big implications for throughput and latency.

Same. Our compute hosts are generally not using 100% of their cores at all time.

There’s computes that are not full, computes that run rather diverse tenants, and even the fully utilized computes responsible for CPU optimized VMs have enough variance in their workload for frequency scaling to occur.

If you‘re looking for a Swiss provider with block storage: cloudscale.ch uses Ceph as a storage layer.
