I'm not paying for Telegram and I haven't noticed missing out anywhere because of it. I'm using the APK file instead of the Play Store version because the latter censors Russian media channels (and I hate censorship). I wasn't even aware there were premium accounts.

I'm in 2 dozen channels, have a few friends who mainly use Telegram instead of the competitors and I haven't noticed a single issue, except for their homegrown encryption scheme.

Agreed, Porkbun are great.

 

Is anyone using the minio-operator? I'm hesitant because I can't find a lot of documentation on how to recover from cluster outages or partial disk failures.

Same here. I'm using Syncthing to keep states synched between my MacBook and Pixel. All I'm missing is a shared grocery list for me and my girlfriend.

What a graceful statement from him. Damn. 😭

The put.io Google/Android TV app is pretty decent, as long as you don't have to reencode content.

Let me throw my seedbox into the ring. :)

You don't have to convert to mobi anymore. The Kindle backend supports epub for a couple of months already. I've also read reports that Kindle's can now convert ePub by themselves if you copy ePub files via cable but I haven't verified that myself.

Can confirm, though it's unlikely to be some piracy check. The epub just has a couple of errors that might make it difficult for Amazon's server-side epub parsing implemention:

Unfortunately I couldn't find any other epub versions. Though I just discovered the Kindle ePub fix project and converted the ePub to a fixed version using the en language tag. That seems to work because the book just showed up in my Kindle library. :)

I don't know about this take. I'm not sure how serious you are about it, but imagine a web without Javascript. Perhaps we'd all be using proprietary abominations such as Java or Flash today, not knowing what would've been possible with a more open, albeit somewhat clunky, programming language that's supported by every browser.

Can't reproduce on the most recent stable version of Brave on Android 13 (Pixel 7 Pro). Tried multiple mirrors on Anna's Archive.

You're right, it's definitely fishy and his claim doesn't seem to hold up. According to Wellfound (previously Angellist) Brave was seed funded by Founders Fund with 4,5mil USD, which brings them close to owning 10% of Brave, though possibly with some dilution, because Chinese company Qihoo 360 provided 2,5mil USD in seed funding in 2015 already. I don't think it's likely that any "[...] first floor engineers at Brave" have a bigger equity, if I'm not completely misunderstanding how these equity valuations work.

It's definitely suspicious. Since I'm inbetween moving browsers from Chrome to Brave right now, I'll have to dig deeper into this and maybe switch to Firefox again. Though Mozilla has their own issues.

Sigh. Thanks for your reply!

 

I've been working with Kubernetes since 2015 and I've mangled with handcrafted manifests including almost duplicate manifests for staging/production environments, played around with stuff like Cue, built lots glue (mostly shell script) to automate manifest-handling and -generation and I also enjoy parts of Kustomize. When Helm started to appear it seemed like a terrible hack, especially since it came with the Tiller-dependency to handle Helm-managed state-changes inside of the clusters. And while they dropped Tiller (thankfully), I still haven't made my peace with Helm.

Go-templating it awful to read, a lot of Helm charts don't really work out of the box, charts can be fed values that aren't shown via helm show values ./chart, debugging HelmChart $namespace/$release-$chartname is not ready involves going over multiple logs spread over different parts of the cluster and I could go on and on. And yet, almost every project that goes beyond offering Dockerfile+docker-compose.yaml just releases a Helm Chart for their app.

Am I the only one who is annoyed by Helm? Have I been using it wrongly? Is there something I've been missing?

In case you're a Helm maintainer: Please don't take it personally, my issue is not with the people behind Helm!
