Yup, he's trying to solve monitoring and logging with the same setup. I don't think I'd appreciate it, but like all the IT horror stories can be probably made to work.

SRE running copy pasted commands directly instead of a script or some automation solution? I don't think the problem is the shell...

Insinuating that my playbooks are bad or any other kind of incompetence without actually knowing anything about my service is simply being an asshole.

Traditionally (classic vim), horribly well. Fully extensible, but Vimscript is quirky to say the least.

Recently (neovim), delightfully. It just uses Lua and exposes APIs for absolutely everything.

Firefox private donations amount to 8 million usd from the last published data. Their CEO makes 9 million a year. 0 of Mozilla donations directly make it to Firefox developers or activities.

These machines could enable an automated check out process that is open 24/7

Someone has to maintain them, and that is beyond the scope of most librarians.

The fees to run a company just to maintain these machines all over the country would make them cost prohibitive.

I've had 40%+ (8 out of 20) RMA rate with ASrock boards (from pcie drives dropping to weird gremlins), while I have replaced two out of over 300 super micro boards, all of them running 10y+

The IPMI interface sure is nicer though

My feet have had open wounds for the past year due to psoriasis (and I've gone to every dermatologist I can). It's not just clear skin, it gets very bad with quite painful wounds from the scratching. Especially in hot humid conditions, and I play tennis a lot. 3 people I train with have bad cases, as in having to stop playing for a while

Have you checked betterbird? It's thunderbird with qol bug fixes and features.

Jetbrains seems to do OK. I pay for my subscription out of pocket.

They're able to pay East European salaries but land Enterprise deals in the US.

That's the main difference, as they had lower margins compared to Hashicorp which traditionally had most of their enfineeeing in the US.

Hashicorp has started pivoting hiring to Bulgaria, Poland, and India now for that reason.

I think they succeed because they aren’t irritating about it. They just make good stuff and charge a reasonable amount and that’s the end of it.

Also, no BuSL stupidity, they're all Apache 2 AFAIK: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/23...

And the "all you can eat" toolbox license is just a staggeringly good deal, IMHO, which also comes with a "you can keep your license forever, just no updates" which is way different from setting subscription-based licensing money on fire when your license expires. Whoever came up with that should be applauded because it really drives down my "what about" anxiety of paying subscription money for IDEs

You usually just do colocation. The data center will give you a rack (or space for one), an upstream gateway to your ISP, and redundant power. You still have to manage a firewall and your internal network equipment, but its not really that bad. I've used PFsense firewalls, configured by them for like $1500, with roaming vpn, high availability, point to point vpn, and as secure as reasonably possible. After that it's the same thing as the cloud except its physical servers.

i mean, yes.. but you pay for that, and colocation + server deprication in the case i calculated was higher then just renting the servers
