Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension
Call me a cynic, but engineering some rate limit on a cancellation page suits them rather well

Ignore your eyes and ears
I used to work with this idiot. Full of platitudes and shite. He’d come into the office in the morning and ask “good morning, how are you?”. Even if you said “my cat got run over”, he’d say “that’s great” and carry on his day.

My thoughts on docker
For me the power of docker is its inherent immutability. I want to be able to move a service around without having to manual tinker, install packages and change permissions etc. It’s repeatable and reliable. However, to get to the point of understanding enough about it to do this reliably can be a huge investment of time. As a daily user of docker (and k8s) I would use it everyday over a VM. I’ve lost count of the number of VMs I’ve setup following installation guidelines, and missed a single step - so machines that should be identical aren’t. I do however understand the frustration with it when you first start, but IMO stick with it as the benefits are huge.

How would F1 write a rule to prevent teams from pulling a Perez again?
I was always (apparently wrongly) under the impression that if someone touched a car, that it could not continue to race. I assume this must just be for marshals, but could be extended to pit crew.

Unifi AP behind an extra switch: 2.4Ghz network stops working after ~30 minutes
I had a similar issue and it related to the uplink connectivity monitor. Unifi monitors the gateway and controller IP and withdraws the SSID if it can’t contact either of them. Make sure you have turned off wireless meshing on the device and I think you can manually disable the uplink connectivity monitor.

Why do so many people use NGINX?

Having used HAProxy for 15 years commercially, I absolutely agree with this. There are lots of complex features of HAProxy that only a dedicated proxy can provide. The acls, deep packet inspection and stick tables are a few.
Whilst it doesn’t directly “serve” PHP or Python - it’s a load balancer so can just have regular Apache or nginx backends serving content which is arguably its main use case. For homelab this doesn’t always make sense but I would pick nginx for high traffic commercial environments.

In most cases you can get away with over mounting configuration files within the container. In extreme cases you can build your own image - but the steps for that are just the changes you would have applied manually on a VM. At least that image is repeatable and you can bring it up somewhere else without having to manually apply all those changes in a panic.

He’s using old English - þ is a letter Thorn - and sounded like “th” in modern English. I guess he feels it’s edgy. It’s also sometimes written using the modern Y as in “Ye Olde Sweet Shop” to make businesses look historical. The internet is a weird place.

Discover devices in VLAN
I have my HA setup with a trunk and a sub-interface in each VLAN for auto discovery. The IOT sub-interface then doesn’t require a gateway and the two networks can then be kept Isolated.

I moved to Rukus from Unifi and the difference is night and day. Unifi does not play nice with Sonos and the firmware is rock solid compared to Unifi.
