on: Vanced: YouTube adblocker for Android
I too use an ad blocker, download torrents etc. but I really dislike when we ("tech savvy people") suddenly feign to ignore the rules of society and start to use the same arguments as line cutters, shoplifters, or any non-disabled who park on a disabled spot.
This is just misbehaving guys, stop trying to find a silly defense.

on: Ask HN: Is your company sticking to on-premise servers? Why?
Not exactly on-premise but we rent 2 big dedicated server (ovh) + install VMWare ESXi on them.
Going to the cloud would cost more, the price would be unpredictable, only to solve a scale problem we won't have.
And customers love to know their data are hosted in France by a French company, not by Google or Amazon :)

on: Keycloak: Open-source identity and access management
I love keycloak but I was always disappointed it cannot be used as an LDAP server. As many open source products and SaaS support LDAP as authentication/authorization, it would have been perfecy for an internal SSO.
Instead of keycloak, I had to rely on GSuite Identity Premium: hood product but gets expensive quickly...

on: MVPs and $100k AWS Bills: Reflections on our launch
Rent dedicated server from OVH, install ESXi, hire a sysadmin. You will save huge amount of money.
Cloud can be great, but sometime it looks like people forget there are other solutions.

on: Building a distributed time-series database on PostgreSQL
I'm currently using influxdb v1.x and I'm not very happy with it for many reasons (impossible to delete a value, no clustering in free version,...). Can anyone who migrated from influxdb to timescale share his opinion ?

on: Why does APT not use HTTPS?
The "Date, Valid-Until" timestamp mitigates replay-attack, cool.
But what if a vulnerability is discovered in a package and an MITM attack prevent you from downloading the new patched version, making you believe your system is up to date although it's not ?

on: Bitcoin mining heats homes for free in Siberia [video]
This is what we are doing at Qarnot Computing for 5years.
We created a heater using CPU as a heat source.
People send a docker image (3d rendering, financial analysis...) and we run it on heaters deployed in buildings in Paris where people are heated for free (we refund the electricity cost)
