What's the practical use?

Kong... Kong... Didn't this one Firebase clone use Kong API gateway? Supabase, yeah that one.

This is all untrustworthy.

Reading this issue, I hope they go broke.

But but if all of Wikipedia fits on a USB drive, what do they need the millions and millions of Dollars for? /s

The EU is .. has become such a dystopia that I'm scared living in the EU.

It starts with the basics, the Lisboa treaty. It goes on with the recent "copyright" reform and their ever increasing need to know everything about the people who live in the areas the EU oversees.

I'm especially scared that the laws of the EU are such that we the people can't do anything to change what "those up there" decide.

Just a recent example, the Russiaphobia. I'm absolutely against confrontation, against censorship and sanctions, yet the EU rulers, which are no more than US puppets are just pushing this agenda, confrontation, war, propaganda, increased military spending. We can't afford a 2nd cold or hot war. But those idiots push and push and agitate and keep making stupid decisions. I feel like my life is wasted because it's always the same old world domination by the US and the EU must follow everything the US says. I'm so sick of it.

When you have such a hostile and unjust system in place that acts against the interests of its population, of course there are local right wing political parties that take advantage of that. This political system is encouraging nationalism and racism because it's built on a non-democratic basis.

The digital ID is just yet another step in the direction of the abusive relationship this "EU" has with its "subjects".

I'd have to disagree. I tried docker compose and swarm. nothing but issues. I went back to old fashioned bash

what's wrong with git clone go build systemctl restart my-service

Why would I want to proxy through docker?

"they" never learn because it's too complex to setup and maintain.

A managed service is too expensive, up to factor 200 prices for outgoing traffic vs a dedicated server with flat traffic (e.g. Hetzner)

> Trying to rebuild that basic functionality using ad hoc solutions takes way more time and rapidly becomes more cumbersome as the wheel gets reinvented when k8s as a platform has well documented solutions/tools.

That is just not true. 1 day if you know what you're doing. If you use a well performing language you won't even need scaling for a very long while, unless you expect like "Eurovision Song Contest" type of concurrent users.

Running your own DNS isn't as hard as you think

Try setting it up on your own without Ubuntu doing the legwork. Set up a 3 node control pane, the deployment servers and storage.

You come off as very arrogant who believes he knows everything, some humility would suit you well, but I think all pseudo smart Germans are like that.

the devil is in the details, they all look easy on the surface but there are so so many traps you can step into casually that they really aren't solutions for the k8s being too complex problem.

k8s IS complex, not because it's new, which it isn't anymore, but it's so complex that even the developers have lost oversight.

And not just that, it's expensive. It requires a lot of hardware just for the base, 9 servers minimum.

The more complex something gets the harder it is to get done right.

I would downvote you if I could because what you wrote is just ignorant and anyone who dealt with k8s before can tell that you never dealt with it.

The PROBLEM is that all the job ads require you to have those skills that are impossible to very expensive to acquire if you're not employed at such a company that lets you experiment with that stuff you mentioned.

I write monoliths and I have only experimental experience with cloud, microservice, k8s, lambdas (no-sql is a no brainer). I can not find a job. All the recruiters offering any Go job, demand knowledge of exactly that. But since I'm a single guy with a currently non-existant budget I chose the cheapest way, monolith with a single database on a single server.

How am I supposed to acquire those skills? I don't have the time, motivation or the money to throw at expensive cloud or write overly complicated microservices with events. I need to get things done, not play with tech that my clueless employer wants, because they watched so Kelsey Hightower video.

I'm totally done with Samsung. Their TVs are overpriced and bad, their phones add undeletable bloatware, remove useful stuff like headphone/mic jack, have low battery life and capacity and they force you to buy the flagship model, if you don't you'll receive a really small battery that even in the flagship model is not large enough. If you don't buy Galaxy series you won't even be able to mirror output via USB. And software support is really short. Even if the hardware works, they want you to buy a new phone 5 years later.

Likewise their TV OS is subpar and region locked, not that Android is any better or the other OSes.

All the TVs right now are really bad and not worth the money. My price limit was 600€. I ordered 4 TVs and returned them all, the worst was a "TCL" TV which had such a weak CPU that it couldn't even decode a 2MB/s SD stream.

Recently Samsung had a bad batch of SSDs and they sold them via Amazon and despite them knowing that the batch was bad it wasn't pulled, instead they lowered the price. One guy bought 8 , 5 died and 2 were in spare mode and despite them being from the same batch the refused to replace the 2. Imagine buying a 4TB SSD, copying your stuff over from the old HDD to have it die 2 months later.

Live a normal life again.

It would be a blessing for humanity.

I fondly remember the times before the internet was a thing.

People would have to learn to deal with people again, face to face.

It would be a better world.
