Very interesting. Could be useful for VPNs and tunneling while masking the traffic as HTTPs. Actually has a use compared to something like IP over Avian Carriers (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1149).

Do you realize that rfc1149 was a joke?

It was written on April Fools Day.

"Side effect" is a breakage of referential transparency.

Depending on your model it can be proven.

Electricity consumption won't be a side effect in any reasonable model.

What are you going on about? This feels like someone who's just read their first compsci book and now thinks they can build New Internet.

Surely this is a troll...

What a weird take.

Are you saying that if these for-profit corporations didn't charge absurd amounts to US citizens, then the drug would be unattainable for Canadians?

Nah, get another bank. Any FI that has to encourage users not to upgrade to the latest iOS because of engineering problems has significant other issues that they are able to still hide.

I wouldn't say that this has been going well recently.

> loadbalancers, volumes are heavily biased towards cloud providers

Can you even run a "loadbalancer" if all you have is a single machine with a single IP behind a router you don't control? I got stuck on that the last time I tried running my own kubes.

notwedtm · 4 years ago
not necessarily a router you don't control, but MetalLB does provide some nice LoadBalancer constructs for a bare-metal deployment. Putting Vyos infront of it is magical!

It's one thing for someone to see my username on a gaming forum, search for it, find my github, pick a repo, click on the license, and find my name there. I'm ok with that, I feel like it's a high enough barrier for casual trolls and bots.

It's another different thing for my name to be auto-completed by the most popular, publicly available language model. That I'm less ok with, and I'm sure other people will find absolutely despicable.

We have GDPR and Right to Be Forgotten for a reason.

How do you know it's your name? Maybe it's someone else with the same name as you?
