@fromjason @catsalad speed running a bubble pop with this one I see.
@andrew it is indeed a lovely architecture to work with for most things (with a few hairy edge cases for stuff where you really do just want to take an action right now, and if reconciliation is delayed by more than a few seconds there’s no point doing it later).
@andrew not sure if it quite counts as a framework, but AWS IoT (and most IoT devices in practice) use the same sort of reconciliation loop. Client pushes desired state to a central data store which then gets replicated to a device, the device takes that state, adjusts to accommodate it, and sends a reported state back for the client.
Just walked into the kitchen to find my washing machine seems to be draining into the cupboard under the sink, which isn’t an ideal setup. Guess I’ve got some plumbing in my future.
HR, giving a safety meeting:
Staring at a screen for 8 hours is bad for you.
Sitting for 8 hours is bad for you.
Standing for 8 hours is bad for you.
Me: So, you're saying the 40 hour work week is unhealthy, and unsustainable?
@arclight holy shit, that’s fantastic. Please look after it, and donate it to a museum in your will.
@dave this is up against products like AWS Transfer, which in its most basic configuration costs $216/month. Half the finance industry runs on CSVs being sent via SFTP to other places, and in that industry $600/month for SOCS compliance is pocket change.
@0xabad1dea hey, at least it’s not a zip file in a PowerPoint presentation.
I will say it always impresses me when I want to do something like this on the Deck and I can just plug my USB-C dock in and drop down into a fully functional KDE environment at my desk to set it up.
Instead of going to bed I set up a PSX emulator on my Steam Deck because someone said that version of Final Fantasy VII is much better than the PC one. It does indeed look prettier thanks to CRT filters, but also my save game has vanished and it crashes when using magic, so not a complete success yet.
I was going to grab my Steam Deck and play a game about an hour ago but it would mean standing up from the sofa so instead I’ve been aimlessly reading the internet, a decision I definitely do not regret.
@ultrazool @jarkman containerisation has its advantages but if you’re doing it for cheap interchangeable compute that’s not really compatible with running a SQL database, so you’ll end up paying as much again (or more) for someone to host Postgres for you. If you can get away with SQLite, and host the API and UI in a single container Fly have some interesting options that could work though.
@gvwilson it is, but unfortunately it’s now got to spend 90% of that time on the last 10% because it’s unable to break fundamental laws of software engineering.
@daburudar @fesshole take the didn’t happens back to Twitter. Who cares if it happened or not? It’s an amusing anonymous story on the internet, not a testimony in court.
@SuperMoosie @fesshole we don’t need this nonsense here. Take it back to Twitter.
@ultrazool @jarkman depending on budget I’d maybe be looking at something like fly.io + maybe S3 for that sort of thing. tbh though if AWS & co are out of budget I think any container hosting solutions will be as well once you’ve got the database hosted, you may well find it cheaper to throw it on a cheap VM somewhere even if it doesn’t strictly need one.
@jik Passkeys aren’t universally tied to a single device, at least on iOS and Windows they’re tied to your platform account and available anywhere you’re signed in with that account. At least 1Password can also handle them.
I’m curious what platform you’re on where it is tied to a device, because if that is the case it’s certainly an issue.
@dramypsyd yeah, tracks for me. Any parent will tell you Paw Patrol is an experience of being trapped in a place that doesn’t make sense against your will, it’s just that in this case it’s a toddler who’s trapped you there.
@mnemonica @lzg I had honestly just assumed they were partners from the beginning so found it deeply confusing when suddenly they’re all awkward about it.
I know reporting on your own dreams is a terrible thing but also last night I had one in which no one could agree on something at work and the boss ended it by saying we should all go feed the ducks instead.
Why is duck feeding never taught as a form of conflict resolution? Seems like very few people could continue fighting in the face of some hungry ducks.
Just passed a bookies advertising “collect online winnings in cash”, so well done to them for managing to combine crippling addictions to gambling and cocaine into one exciting new revenue stream.
@stephen it’s 10am on a Saturday, this is far too early to be having theories about ZFS eating all your RAM. Also you’ve reminded me I should probably run some updates on my own server.
@fesshole do get back to us on how that one works out for you. In the meantime I’ll pop out for some popcorn.
