These guys (https://evilmartians.com/) sure understands a thing or two about images and image compression. I have used their imgproxy[1] (Golang image resizer) for a long time and it has been solid from the very beginning.

Last night I was testing DO managed Kubernetes cluster with persistent volume claim and the volume took 15 minutes to reattach after the pod is rescheduled to another host. I thought it was just some weird hiccup and went to bed.
The incident report indicated the problem started 4 hours ago (around 9pm GMT) but I was having problem around 4pm. It's definitely not a 2-hour incident.

Vietnam's second largest mobile network operator Mobifone was affected for 3 hours[1]. Now we know 3: UK, Japan and Vietnam. I'm sure it's possible track down the other 8.

Your blog posts are interesting, thank you for that. I have questions though: Since you are using both Terraform and Packer from HashiCorp, do you happen to use Nomad too? If you do, what is your experience with it? Can you compare Nomad vs. Kubernetes?

Just yesterday I built an Android app to cast audio-only (ogg format) from YouTube to Chromecast. Had to do it because:
1. Baby needs her white noise to sleep
2. No other sites have those "8 hours womb sounds" as good as YouTube
3. The YouTube app refuses to cast to Google Home mini
Came across ydls[1] which uses youtube-dl and ffmpeg to download then transcode media on-the-fly. It's not very effective but works great! We no longer have to turn on the TV in our baby room. Check out the source code[2] if you are also a new parent.

Our team worked on a similar idea and the test phone speakers died pretty fast, probably 2 out of 3 within a month. The cause may be (1) we over-stressed them too much (2) they were cheap Samsung phones and (3) we used frequency around 20kHz to avoid annoying human users (this library seems to operate at 17+kHz at most). Our conclusion at the time was consumer speakers and microphones are not good enough. Would love to hear whether Quiet has the same issue.

I think their node app has issues with Little Snitch on my laptop.

I was running 1.9.6, after an auto update to 1.10.something subtitles stopped working on Chromecast. I looked around and found a thread[1] with many people reporting the issue with many versions of Plex. One guy said he reverted to have it working again so I tried that and... it worked! I haven't updated Plex since then. Good to know that you have subtitles working with the latest version, maybe I will update when I get home, fingers crossed!

I have been jumping between Videostream, Plex and VLC nightly in the last few months. They seem to play all kind of video files but subtitles remain to be a hard problem. VLC simply doesn't support it (or I didn't figure out how to enable subtitles). Videostream is buggy. Plex works with a specific version only (had to downgrade to get back subtitles)... The search continues I guess.

How safe is this in comparison to running WordPress in a container with all uploads go to S3 for example? WordPress provides ready to use Docker images which should be fairly easy to upgrade. Sure, it's not for the novice users...

What did you mean saying "tea in the middle"? I'm quite sure we Vietnamese only use "chè" or "trà", both variants are basically "cha" I think.
