Storing JSON in Postgres? You should change `default_toast_compression` to lz4 and save on CPU, memory and storage. It is supported since pg14, has better cpu/compression tradeoff... and it will soon be the default by default.

I have one network card. I have udev name it eth0. I move that network card to another pcie slot. The name is still eth0. That's predictable network card naming.

I just had my mind blown by the OpenBSD installer. My setup: Headless QEMU, SSH access only, meaning a pure serial console install. With most Linux distros, this is where the pain begins, if I ever even manage to go through this. With OpenBSD? The one and only command I needed…

Agreed. AWS is ripe for classic Clayton Christensen disruption

AWS looks cheap… until your bill comes. • EC2 t3.medium: $37.96/month • EBS storage (100GB): $10/month • S3 storage (100GB): $2.30/month • S3 PUT requests (1M/month): $0.50 • Data transfer (100GB out): $9/month • CloudWatch logs: $0.50–$1.50/GB ingested All this before…



Laptop Suggestions? - WQHD or better - Thunderbolt support - No numeric keypad - Not a MacBook - Not a ThinkPad - I only run Linux but don't care if it comes with something else


Maybe. Seems like much is vacuumed up in to saas

I got the perception that everyday there are less FOSS softwares out there. New devs abbandon projects after 2-3 years and long-term maintainers are getting older or disappearing... I could be wrong, I wish I was... 🤔

The highest-performing developers I worked with at Amazon asked better questions than everyone else. After 18 years in tech, here's what I learned: while average engineers jump to solutions, exceptional ones pause to ask the right questions first. The 6 questions that separated…

the old joke about perl is that it was "write once read never" but thanks to ai we have achieved "write never read never" programming
