Truly loved it. Hated that Microsoft killed it.

From what I can deduce from the release notes and the linked documentation, it can still be enabled?

And it relates to Windows and Linux only, and using the TPM.

My guess is that unreliable TPMs made it risky to have this enabled by default.

Inside the pods it makes no sense, but I do enable it on some memory-constrained worker nodes. Note that the kubelet by default refuses to start if the machine has any swap at all.

Getting it from source is as easy as `go install github.com/minio/minio@latest` if you have a recent Go.

In addition your favorite Linux distribution probably has it as from-source builds already.

For a container image you could try making one from Alpine or Wolfi.

I wrote this guy a few years back. It's lock free for both consumers and producers. Blocking variants are also available, but with significantly poorer performance.

Ah, DigiCash! I was really optimistic on this concept in my student days - one local bank even had a PoC with digital cash.

This is exactly how the physical representation of money works as well.

The central bank controls how many bills are in circulation, and the central bank regularly expires old bills and coins.

Yeah, I know of one example where idea was actually created and pitched to media outlets.

They did not like the idea. They very much more like the idea of owning the customer and keeping the customer paying subscriptions.

I also know of a media outlet which incentivizes customer to go from credit card payment to automated bank transfers, since credit cards expire every x years but the bank transfer goes on forever.

When you're paying for RHEL you're not paying for the software that you are installing. All of that can be downloaded.

You are paying for:

- A reproducible target. You know EXACTLY what code you are running. If you manage more than three installations this is the only way you can diagnose and fix whatever issues your installation has.

- Support. The very few times I used RHEL support I always got timely and thorough assistance. Even when chasing a hardware bug or issues with third party device drivers.

- Backwards and FORWARDS compatibility. Red Hat systematically backports kernel bug fixes and support for new hardware to old kernels. We ran 2.6 kernels on Intel hardware released long after the 2.6 series were EOL.

- Device drivers. No, not for your five dollar mouse, but for hardware that costs the same as a small SUV.

If you're avoiding RHEL due to cost, have a look at their SKU list and talk to your local sales org, they have a wide range of options.

In https://www.kermitproject.org/newsn5.html I found this lovely quote:

Former Belgium user here. Checked my inbox, no emails from Influx since June 2022.

Then again, I was only using the free tier, so I guess I got what I paid for.

From https://docs.ntpsec.org/latest/warp.html:

  > The NTP protocol will synchronize correctly, regardless of era, as long as the system clock is set initially within 68 years (a half-era) of the correct time

Which means 2036 will appear to work just fine, as 1970 is only 66 years away. Now jump forward to 2038, and this would not be the case..

Hardly.

- Both Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X use x86 processors.

- MacBook market share is around 10%, so the majority of new laptops are still x86.

- The majority of cloud compute instances are also x86.

I've got a Pebble color that still works thanks to rebble.io.

For me it's got the best balance between features and simplicity.

Any more features and the battery (life or size) would be worse.

Sleep and step tracking is average, notifications are just right.

I'm hoping a reasonable replacement surfaces before it dies, and am still sad Fitbit destroyed this product, and won't be considering any of their products for that reason.

Our setup runs Jenkins master and slaves as Kubernetes pods, with plugins limited to only the very few required to get GitHub integration and slaves working.

Jobs are configured by adding an entire GitHub organization. All repositories with corresponding branches, pull requests and tags are automatically discovered and built based on the existence of a Jenkinsfile.

Everything is built by slaves using Docker, either with Dockerfile or using builder images.

Job history and artifacts are purged after a few weeks, since everything of importance is deployed to Bintray or Docker repositories.

By keeping Jenkins constrained in this fashion, we have no performance issues.

Plots. Pulling performance numbers from log files, simple statistics, curve fitting and moving averages.

Even from JSON or XML.

Love the tomato analogy - exactly why you need to convert energy, even with the efficiency loss.
