As a customer, I am OK with most increases but not the object storage one. This one has some quality issues and is no longer competitive in price either. I'm thinking of moving S3 part to OVH.

Is there any reason it wouldn't work with podman?

gerty | 3 years ago | on: Comparing K3s with vanilla Kubernetes
Is there any advantage of running k3s if you want to keep etcd? I understand that most k3s performance gains come from etcd being replaced by sqlite but if you still want a HA control plane, sqlite won't cut it.

What went wrong with ONNX? Why didn't it work out?

I've been a user for nearly 10 years and still only a few people in my circles uses Signal. If they go through with this, Signal is as good as dead.

I don't understand why Executive Order is even considered as a starting point after JCPOA debacle.
gerty | 3 years ago | on: TIL–Python has a built-in persistent key-value store (2018)
It's not built-in, of course, but if you can live with the quirky API, LMDB as an embedded key-value store will be hard to beat in terms of speed. It can also do "one-writer, many-readers" and transactions.
gerty | 3 years ago | on: Podman 4.2.0
RHEL 8.6 upgraded podman from v3.3 to v4.0.2, so v4.2 is not outside the realm of possibility in the next release. Since podman development is driven by Red Hat, I feel that podman upgrades get quite some leeway... Very impatient to test out the play kube functionality managed by systemd.
gerty | 3 years ago | on: Podman 4.2.0
Will this eventually make it to RHEL8? Today it's at 4.0.2.

There are also alternative ways of sending a message, e.g. targeting of US soft power. While INSTEX was not a huge success in its time, an alternative payment mechanism that works around US sanctions aligns well with French (and even EU) interests and strongly against US.
gerty | 4 years ago | on: France cancels defence meeting with UK over submarine row, sources say
It's not just a contract though. France actually has a maritime border with Australia and its own interests in the Pacific -> the entire French Pacific strategy was wiped out by 3 "allies" behind its back.

Very nice! What's the data source for the greeks? Are you computing those yourself?
gerty | 4 years ago | on: “We Are Hoarding”: Why the US Can’t Donate Corona-Vaccines to Countries in Need
Oh, please, cry me a river. There's always a law to bomb another country, spy on the RoW, hack ally infrastructure, renege international treaties or put on some tariffs on imports from friendly countries, but somehow a minor contractual clause grinds to a halt export of vital medicine supplies during a pandemic.

How proficient do you have to be in Redis to have fun in such a hackathon? I use Redis mostly in combination with Python Celery.

As far as I remember, it's a first time there are separate devrooms for Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice. It's been 10 years now, is it me or it feels like a waste of efforts ?
gerty | 5 years ago | on: Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
If you voted YES and were able to choose among the available (Western) vaccines, BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna or Oxford/AstraZeneca, which one would you take? Does it matter for you?
gerty | 5 years ago | on: Projected growth of Tiger Mosquito range in northeastern US (2013)
So many invasive species beside mosquitoes. Box tree moths have now invaded huge chunks of Western Europe. Depending on the year, they can be abundant and have done some serious damage to green areas.
gerty | 5 years ago | on: Robinhood now valued at $11.2B with new fund backing
Without decent understanding of how options work, even iron condors can turn bad. You are writing options, so you're still running assignment risk or pin risk. It's mostly benign if you know what you are doing but can be a brutal lesson if you just clicked because you think "it's staying the same".
gerty | 5 years ago | on: Nvidia is reportedly in ‘advanced talks’ to buy ARM for more than $32B
This will be killed or severely hampered by antitrust agencies. Definitely by the EU, maybe the US as well if there's anyone decent left there.
