Maybe if you’re a junior engineer, but this absolutely not what most SWEs do.

Right?! Get some free IP space from he.net tunnel broker and build your own IPv6 AnyCast network using Quagga for BGP.

Kidding about building your own AnyCast network (although you really could…), but he.net tunnel broker is GOAT.

This could all be solved using HE.net tunnel broker for free…

It’s not virtualization, it’s namespaces. Docker makes use of Linux kernel features; started out with cgroups and now uses libcontainer. Each container is running in its own isolated(ish) namespace on the same host kernel.

It’s _very_ different technology than virtualization.

You don’t need docker to make a container on Linux (or Solaris for that matter).

Virtue signaling your dislike of music because of the environment it is played in is asinine.

Do you wish you’d never listened to Mozart? He was a serial misogynist after all.

I can understand parents not wanting their children to listen to music with explicit lyrics, but for an adult to feel this way?

Music is not decadent.

FWIW the title of this article is a play on the title of Milan Kundera's famous book "The Unbearable Lightness of Being".

Pretty sure they were referring to the operators you can install that will stand up production ready replicated clusters.

They work quite well.

Why would you transcode on the NAS? Not what I’m suggesting at all; perf on most NAS is awful for that…

There’s a pretty well understood concept of what a NAS is; this isn’t a complicated philosophical problem.

A very common workflow in motion picture production is to use NAS for storage on a fast network, mount the SMB share, have a script/tool/app that monitors the ingest directory and writes to an output dir.

FWIW the key differentiator between a NAS and other types of network storage is the protocols they use.

If files is the main primitive, it’s a NAS; it’s its blocks it’s considered a SAN.

Sometimes SANs have NAS “heads” for clients that want file access or a block level storage device.

Did you build your NAS in the 90’s or early 2000’s?

This has been available in Synology and QNAP devices for that long…

I used to own the tape library that is the Disney Vault. A common pattern for transcoding is to have a watched folder. Drop files you need transcoded in, get files you want in a diff directory when finished.

It’s still not true.

This is the normal implication with C constant. Nothing is different.

First person in this thread to make any sense… The level of physics knowledge has declined on this site.

This is not true. You can easily measure TOF of a photon using an APD in Geiger mode or other detectors easily purchasable in 2024.

So what exactly are you talking about?
