I have a preempt-able workload for which I could use Spot instances or Savings Plans.

Does anyone have experience running Spot in 2025? If you were to start over, would you keep using Spot?

  - I observe with pricing that Spot is cheaper
  - I am running on three different architectures, which should limit Spot unavailability
  - I've been running about 50 Spot EC2 instances for a month without issue. I'm debating turning it on for many more instances

It didn't last 3 days -- the repo now 404s

I occasionally ponder on how frustrating it is that the deceased don't get to hear their eulogies. It would have been amazing for Bram to have been able to experience all the outpouring of support and love from people he is interacted with during his life. Especially in a context where the speakers aren't considering him as an audience -- they're sharing their deep and true feelings.

No one can really be sure how their acquaintances feel about them. Eulogies are the closest we get. Imagine if he were able to hear all these great things said about him... It would be such a joy.

tig is great for a read only operations. Looking at the tree, peeking at diffs, finding specific commits. It's quicker to get in and out of. I reach for it instead of `git log`.

lazygit makes it super easy to make modifications. Reorder commits, revert specific hunks from commits. I find it easier to use if I need to look at a really big diff. I reach for it instead of `git rebase -i`, and it can do things no native tool can do easily (such as revert or extract specific hunks from commit earlier in the tree.

I use both multiple times per day. tig if I just want to look at stuff (fewer keystrokes to look at diffs in the tui!) and lazygit if I want to modify stuff (more powerful!).

If you click through to the Project Zero blogspot it says the Mar 2023 security update fixes the issue for the Pixel devices.

My Pixel 7 didn't show an update was available (last checked 30 minutes ago) but when I manually checked it found it and downloaded it.

I've watched those videos, and they're always super upfront with "this video was sponsored by the Gates foundation." I don't see a problem here.

RDS Proxy is very specific with which versions it supports. If it says it doesn't support it, it doesn't support it.

Postgres 14 is supposed to have built-in connection pooling. If you're on it, do you still feel the need for RDS Proxy? We're using pgbouncer and can't decide if we should switch to RDS Proxy or upgrade to Postgres 14 and drop the external connection pooler.

Congrats team!

The one I use the most is `vipe`.

> vipe: insert a text editor into a pipe

It's useful when you want to edit some input text before passing it to a different function. For example, if I want to delete many of my git branches (but not all my git branches):

  $ git branch | vipe | xargs git branch -D

`vipe` will let me remove some of the branch names from the list, before they get passed to the delete command.

Constantly

Congrats on launching!

How mature is this? We have a 20 person team and we're prototyping different pipelines for our next CI/CD pipeline (currently Heroku). Is this ready for production workloads?
