The tailscale client can be queried to convert from tailscale ip to email. This could be used to track who is using the VPN service and to sign them into the protected web app. Grafana allows header auth params for example

Dell precision 54xx laptops with linux are pretty nice but my more recent one had thunderbolt issues and the support didn't live up to the "linux first" support I was expecting. I have switched to the system76 and really like the Lemur Pro 14.

Thanks! That's what I would order as well if they were in stock.

Did you buy the base RAM/Hd and upgrade yourself or did you have them configure it?

Fast walking with some hills is great. It also reduced my stress quite a bit as after 20 minutes I would stop contemplating/planning and just walk. Doesn't matter the weather and much easier to do

It may take volume first. But you can negotiate with stripe to get better rates. You take on more of the risk though.

Thanks! That would come down the road. Looking to cut costs at the beginning :)

$400 for the wheels

I don't think they could fit another video or unrelated image in that article.

Are people posting content here just to get the ads traffic?

This is the official ESA website, they don't generate ad revenue AFAIK, or any revenue from their site directly.

The original url was at independent.co.uk, one of the UK's national newspapers.

well written.

Things I would add to the Good side.

- ability to commit to multi year cpu/ram without upfront costs

- they can live migrate your vm to new physical hardware, so no need to have random reboots of your instances

- https load balancers allow traffic around the world to enter google network closest to user, this reduces handshakes and reduces comcast like outages to affect users.

the above greatly decrease my stress.

> they can live migrate your vm to new physical hardware, so no need to have random reboots of your instances

Having supported VMWare at multiple locations, and having worked for a smaller cloud host, it shocks me that AWS don't support live migrations. VMWare can live-migrate VMs between datacenters in different geographic regions, while maintaining active sessions!

Technical debt. AWS had first mover advantage but now is saddled with the decisions they had to make to move fast at the time.

I guess that closeness to user got eliminated from the “good” list since Google’s FELB is serving 502 to this author’s customers.

They did eventually stop serving sporadic 502's, I've updated the post to make that a bit clearer.

OP: for the 502 problems give a look at this https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/1396 https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-gce/issues/34

I run into the same problem while ago. It may solve your problem as well.

That’s good to hear. My intuition is random failure like that resulted from inability to find your instances, or a belief in their non-existence or ill health.

maybe. We haven't had any issues with it over last year. The comcast outage last week probably affected more customers.

you should look at chromecasts for this purpose. You can control them with code, for example. https://github.com/Raven24/rbcast This also allows your team to easily cast to them when they need to override the default display

Ideally it's something simple such that non-technical people can also cast and/or display dashboards.

easily displaying many dashboards within your office is something that I haven't found any off the shelf solutions for. Our office has 20 tv's with chromecasts all displaying specific dashboards, but it took coding effort to get it to work.

I use the precision. my biggest issue was with getting encrypted drive setup. the trick was to use the dell recovery image to install with encryption. this works but leaves the machine with an older kernel that doesn't have all the tweeks around usbc and wifi and such. You have to switch to the Hardware Enablement Stack to get it running well.

Very interesting. I did loose track of the 4 steps and was confused on how to finish the project.

Agreed, I think there's simple things we can do to help with this. The UX is flawed atm, with out a doubt.

Something like that myself. I wasn't quite sure I believed the page was dynamically updating at first.

This is, like, crazy great anyway. I'm freaked.
