https://www.localstack.cloud/ emulates a bunch of the aws services, perfect for local testing.

No that’s really not possible. I’d recommend tossing the similar ones after you pick the “best”.

I gotcha, I misunderstood. Cheers!

Got it

What’s wrong with ZSH? I was using it for 5+ years before it became the default over bash, mainly because of the auto complete features, oh-my-zsh and later just plugins and powerlevel10k.

You can get gigabit over 5e, you don’t need super expensive cables. That said I ran cat 6 through my whole house and am able to fully saturate the bus, about 115 MBps (920 Mbps) which accounts for the TCP overhead. I haven’t tried 2/5/10G on it bull I’ll probably upgrade in a few years, I don’t expect to have much trouble getting good speeds. Your biggest issue was you might not have had all the cable pairs in your wire, or your cables ends might have been crusty, or you could have had bad kinks in the wire causing packet loss, or some real absolute trash quality wire. In general, 5e and 6 are plenty for most people/situations to get good speeds (1Gb+)

In our case cloud is fine, as long as it’s within our security boundary- so that means external SaS is out, but hosted within our cloud is fine. I’m still not super excited about the prospect of managing and maintaining it though :/ We’re going down this path because AWS is killing code commit and other pipeline stuff, which sucks because even though other tools are better, code commit was fedRamped and from the same vendor.

Redundancy is your best option regardless- that said, when those western digital easy-stores go on sale, I like to grab them for offline storage. Something like rsync every couple of months and you have a decent second copy of your data to keep on a shelf. The $/Gig was hard to beat, I haven’t gotten any in a year or two, but there were sales to get the drives with enclosures for like $130 for 8TB. At the time, that was far less than I was paying for internal NAS drives. Since it’s not a daily driver, you don’t need super high runtime or performance.

Don’t know if they continued to renew it, but macOS was officially certified as unix for a few years!

Yeah they’re similar in several ways

I’ve been a fan of git-flow for a long time. It makes the master consistently stable and production ready, gives mechanisms for hotfixing, patching, releasing, tagging, and regular feature dev with a running develop branch. This tends to be more stable than Wild West commits into dev direct, since you work on a feature in isolation, and then merge the feature in when it’s ready, and keeps prod in its own lane so there’s no risk of a feature accidentally nuking something.

I wouldn’t work a windows exclusive job, it’s a deal breaker for me, so I’d definitely ask. I work in an all Mac shop that does enterprise cloud architecture.

Man I use IntelliJ for:

• python
• Jupyter notebooks
• node, typescript
• html
• YAML/TOML
• sql
• testing
• ReST
• Docker
• bash
• cloud formation
• terraform
• lua
• groovy, kotlin, and also java
• maven, gradle, spock
• linting, code formatting, dependency management, db connectors & browsing, live templates, refactoring, code analysis, fantastic git operations, local history, testing, etc

Support for most of this stuff is just built in, and a few plugs for the rest. In-line embedded sql execution, best git merge tools, everything has customizable key commands… it goes on and on. The amount of config and plugs this requires in other tools is insane.

Fuck vs code, jetbrains all the way!

Docker or Kubernetes work well on a cluster. Before containers this was a lot more work to set up, but these days you just need to image them all, put them on the network, and then use some kind of container orchestration to send them containers/pods.

Cause windows sucks and licenses?

I use https://znote.io, but there are other similar apps, not all free that do the same. Folders + tagging is super useful

Not a gentoo fan I take it

Alright now compile some drivers from source!

You cant re-use an old connector, you’ll have to crimp on a new one. It may or may not be worth buying the tool/ends depending on the length of the cable.

You can buy a cable crimper and a bag of the ends on Amazon, prob for $20-$40, but if it’s just one small patch cable you’re trying to fix, you can probably buy that for $5.

I ran Ethernet through my whole house and outside for cameras, so it was worth it to me to buy the tools and spools of cable.
