anikdas | 1 year ago | on: Let's consign CAP to the cabinet of curiosities

> The CAP theorem is also irrelevant if your acceptable response time is greater than the time it takes your partitions to sync. This is really an oversimplification. The more important metric here is the delay between write and read of the same data. Even in that case if when the system write load is unpredictable it will definitely lead to high variance in replication lag. The number of times I had to deal with a race condition for not considering replication lag factor is more than I would like to admit.

- pihole

- piVPN

The piVPN story is interesting. I am currently stationed outside my home country. Using the financial apps (bank apps, wallet apps) outside the country are restricted hence I needed a ip within the country. No major VPN provider provide IPs for my country. piVPN has been great in that sense to access the contents from my country.

I think BullMQ with deployment in kubernetes gets people off the ground quite quickly and scale out quite well without needing to worry about fine tuning the solution. Also RabbitMQ has also worked pretty well for us handling around 150k RPM messages with delayed exchange enabled while running in kubernetes without any tweaks. As a dev working on solution that is used in the industry of customer support, I am more worried about,

1. Data locality

2. Privacy

3. SLAs and Uptimes

While SaaS solutions like these can get us MVP/PoCs fast but a home grown solution is more preferable when SLOs are tight and security is a huge concern.

This article does not say if Zoom tracks the other running application in your PC. It just detects whether the Zoom application is in focus.

anikdas | 7 years ago | on: MySQL Challenge: 100k Connections

> Using multiple IP addresses on the server box (one IP address per approximately 60k connections)

Please correct me if I am wrong. I thought the '64K' limit is per client per server port. So the correct statement would be Using multiple IP addresses on the server box (one IP address per approximately 60k connections per client). Also, it's not necessary to have multiple interfaces unless it is required to achieve more than '64k' connection per client.

anikdas | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: What linux desktop tools/apps boosted your productivity?

Really appreciate for taking the time to answer my question.

I use zsh myself. Have not tried fish yet but only heard good things about it.

Also, regarding the pipe to clipboard, I liked the 'pbcopy' command on Mac. So, right now I have added an alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'. It's really handy.
