The takeaways in this article are much more why Go's memory model becomes difficult at scale. When you're dealing with memory at Discord scale garbage collection is hard, for example on the mentioned Discord microservice:

> There are millions of Users in each cache. There are tens of millions of Read States in each cache. There are hundreds of thousands of cache updates per second.

This is something that is probably never going to be hit locally in the development toolchain. You can certainly prefer the Rust memory system to Go and have that be a valid reason to use Rust over Go for something like dev toolchains, but you're not going to hit scale problems like those mentioned in the article.

You can request a copy from ICANN through the Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS). It's a pretty neat service and will give you access to zone files for a few months, you just need to file a request to one/multiple TLDs you are interested in seeing.

Sometimes larger TLDs take a bit longer to respond to requests, whereas some others automatically accept all requests.

Significantly better, yes, I've never felt like String methods were missing while using Elixir, they've also got some goodies like Jaro distance right in the stdlib. Docs on Elixir strings are here, plenty of methods: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.12/String.html

This getting started guide also covers some more examples of working with strings (vs. charlists, the erlang string type, which are described at the end): https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/binaries-strings-and...

j03b | 5 years ago | on: SSHing to my Raspberry Pi 400 from a browser, with Cloudflare Tunnel

I had a play around with the Browser SSH terminal a few weeks ago, as well as getting actual hosts setup I managed to get ssh-chat[1] working on there which was fun. (see: https://twitter.com/JoeBanksDev/status/1382836730651410433)

The feature that interests me is the auditable portion of it, MITM recording of SSH & RDP sessions sounds very useful.

From the blog post announcing this [2]:

> Cloudflare Zero Trust Apps will record the screen of any session, batch the recordings in intervals, and send them to a storage location you have configured. We’ll be adding structured command logging and keyboard input to this flow as well.
