Google’s official MFA app is YouTube, so I assume so. (Every time I login to gmail or google docs, the MFA ping opens YouTube on my phone to approve the login.)

Google and youtube are the same login though…

Honestly i like these buttons from a user/security POV as oauth only passes back a “login successful” reply and an identifier to associate an account with. Less PII to spread around the internet.

Not sure about LLM’s as thats not what my team does, but for API’s we found better performance with PHP of the two, that was ~10yrs ago though…

Rust and Golang blow them both out of the water for REST API’s. (Like by 100x speed/request rates) Definitely recommend going that way for high traffic endpoints. The last one I wrote, Rust won that battle, but ymmv.

Ironically, Python is older than PHP, albeit not by more than a few years (1991 vs 1995).

Both are antiquated at this point, but both have their uses, so do what works, no shame here.

I tend to prefer statically typed languages personally and TDD is a big win for larger code bases when possible. My current place of employment has been on the Golang and Rust bandwagon for a while, but theres still plenty of dotNet, PHP and Python hanging around because they were just the best tool for the job at the time.

100%. But the post i was responding to was talking about recovering a failed array from other copies, not locally.

True, but that’s going to really be pushing your network links just to recover. Realistically, something like ZFS or a RAID-6 with extra hot spares would help reduce the risks, but it’s still a non trivial amount of time. Not to mention the impact to normal usage during that time period.

Rebuild time is the big problem with this in a RAID Array. The interface is too slow and you risk losing more drives in the array before the rebuild completes.

I actually started doing that. It’s a living document, shared with others. It’s the best solution I’ve come up with. Knowing whether or not I can convey enough info to make it usable and able to be followed for a less technical person like other family members drives my adoption of software/hardware solutions.

It’s the theoretically part that i haven’t figured out. I know none of my family members would have any idea what to do with anything. I feel like All the Data will just be lost when i go… which is a huge issue as everything moves to digital.

We’re supposed to use GitHub copilot at work. There’s a Vim plug-in for it that works fairly well.

I’d rather new software versions were only released when there was a solid reason. A slow meaningful, well tested release cadence is generally a sign of more mature and stable software.

Personally, I never really counted the RP2350 as a successor. It’s a different animal completely. A 2040 successor would be something like 4x cortex-m0’s or a faster clock with more ram or whatever, the 2350 has completed different capabilities and components and can live along side the 2040.

I feel like the preferred one is the 2040 simply because it’s cheaper, and capable enough for the vast majority of use cases at this point.

Edit: yes I know RPI called their board using the 2350 the pico 2, but the 2040 chip itself is used in more places than just the pico and not every one used the 2350 as a v2.

I run it in a container on Kubernetes. Definitely recommend.

More than a PDP-11, but I would recommend against both.

I wonder how a “first computer” stats break down when some people (me) were born before laptops and tablets. (Also now I feel old…)

You wouldn’t use a "vi"itor or an "emacs"itor, you use an "ed"itor!

I have a MacBook at work simply because our Systems and Security teams don’t want to support linux. The only other option is Windows 11 and i don’t need that nightmare.

So I’ve done public DNS zone hosting and you can use let’s encrypt for certs and such, but

• What about caches? I basically use to reduce load and network traffic reduction before it gets to me so I don’t have to run my own varnish cache and get regional caching to reduce repeat cross country calls for people on the other coasts.
• What do you use for DDOS protection?

Basically, cloudflare is free, and i get all that. If I find another place better, I’m open to jumping ship.

That’s pretty neat, what adapter is that?

The best time to shop other jobs is while you’re still getting paid at your current one.
