yeah she ends the post with a </rant> tag.

It is her personal blog so her tone seems fine to me. For the already informed I still enjoyed reading it.

True. Silly me.

This list is a bit scrappy and seems to really only have relevance to Ops staff who work at Gitlab.

I like Gitlab and use it everyday.

I am also really impressed at how open they are with this stuff... Just not sure I need to know how they resolve faults.

The shared storage redis backed option is great. I hacked together something that served .well-known from an NFS mount to overcome my issues when behind a proxy / LB.

My $work has a very terribe DNS infrastructure that needs lots of work to implement dns-01.

How random... Having this exact issue on a production system, came to HN to take my mind off OpenLDAP and find a solution in minutes.

New Das Keyboards do support nKey Rollover via USB [1].

[1]: http://www.daskeyboard.com/daskeyboard-4-ultimate/

Older das keyboards supported 6-key rollover via USB (running into protocol limits) or 12-key rollover via PS/2, IIRC.

Interesting that this site states

Just press shift + mute to toggle NKRO.

I understand why you would want this enabled. I'm not sure I understand the negative implications, so - what are potential reasons to _disable_ that?

That is curious. Relying on an extra driver? Acting like multiple keyboards on a USB hub to work around USB protocol limitations, possibly causing complications or weirdness? </wildlyguessing>

Some BIOSes doesn't work with NKRO enabled. If yours does, you can safely enable it.

Is screen size a barrier to running VMs? I build all my customers environments in VMs and do this on the road, most run headless anyway.

For me, I absolutely need a portable to replace my PC, since I don't have an office.

I have this requirement. I just bought a Toshiba Z30t. Ultrabook that is self serviceable and supports 16GB. But build quality and feel - talk about your pieces of shit.

Mojolicious for one doesn't have the dependency tree of Catalyst, this is kind of against of the Perl mantra of don't re-invent the wheel.

That said I favor Mojo over Catalyst for almost every project these days, it's very easy to work with and quick to prototype an application using the 'lite' mode.

Wow.... 15 years! Working at a hosting provider way back when I would die a little inside every time someone asked me to install phpmyadmin for their databases.

I'm sure it's come a long way (at least I hope it has).

it seems much of a muchness?
