Works in Arch fine whenever I've needed it (admittedly not used regularly but it never failed/became unstable)

I could never get it working on Firefox, but OK with Chrome

The same way and principles, actually containers mimics the golden image pattern used in physical infrastructure.

You need an image (qcow, raw, etc) of your vm with the things you want installed on it. Then you distribute it across computers that will used it through qemu, libvirt, etc.

It's also interesting to see how pxe works :-)

"just", as if you never had to argument against aws fanboys...

As a pragmatic AWS fan, +1 this. Disposable distributed hybrid multi-cloud architecture FTW.

Gosh, there is job title for capacity planning?

do capacity planners buy and sell capacity to scale up and down month to month? :)

When does the need ever go down?

If you're retail, it goes down after xmas. If you're a tax company, it goes down after may. If you sell a product, it goes down when you go long enough without releasing anything new

At night, often. For example, I have had a use case where we needed a 1000 node build farm during the day when developers were working, but only 50 at night. Machine learning jobs are another common source of workloads that need burst capacity.

What company has constant load 24/7/365?

I’m going to guess Visa.

I'm sure they still see time of day effects, day of week effects, month of year effects.

It should not be charged at all IMHO. And it should be a right of the parents to hold their newborn in the moment they enter this world.

OP was being sarcastic. “Skin-to-skin” contact with mum is the very first thing they do after child birth, and continue recommending for the entire stay.

there's a lot of stories / examples about this an item in the hospital bills .

You might be thinking of one story that went viral a few years ago, and was amplified by the media. It was successful at generating outrage and so became popular, but it was not correct.

They do actually charge for supervised skin-to-skin contact after a C-section [1].

It would only be one of many ridiculous charges in the US medical system. I personally think it's pretty outrageous that one has to pay for medical care while giving birth at all.

So the doctors and nurses involved should just deliver babies for free? Does the free care apply only to standard births, and then they get paid if there are complications? Or is anything involving the delivery plus anything arising from it provided for free?

The central bank prints money (partially offset by tax). Some of that money could go to basic medical care like this, as it does in most other countries.

We're currently seeing exactly what happens when the central bank money printer goes into overdrive, which is rising inflation. Maybe we shouldn't be encouraging that.

Taxation funded healthcare seems to work pretty well. It allows you to avoid the situation where individuals pay significantly more due to bad luck with their health. Plus you get to cut out the insurance companies' cut completely.

Some of the countries that implement universal healthcare could actually use some increased inflation. So it doesn't seem like a real concern in practice.

So what should he do to computers he spent time and money to fix and clients abandoned? Throw them into the bin?

I think you make clients pay a deposit, and if they don't pick up the laptops, send them to the state's lost property department. If that isn't possible, I guess you buy the laptop from the customer for some token small amount of money, and then sell it back to them when they come to pick it up. If they don't show up, it's legally your laptop.

> If they don't show up, it's legally your laptop.

That's the whole problem. He tries for a couple of months to contact them (calls, emails, etc) and if they don't even respond, after around 9 months they get put into the resale bin.

His policy is "no fix, no fee" so I would presume there's no deposit. If there is no transfer of money it seems difficult to make even a weak legal argument that the laptops were "purchased". That is why Rossmann found the whole situation ridiculous.

I used Arch a lot back in the days there was no dkms (got a new kernel? Recompile your gpu module otherwise no desktop on the next reboot, specially with nvidia) and Arch is a very good place to learn Linux, but I eventually went to Debian because everything just works.

For the topic I think is good to have dfsg and to patch any software with the goal to provide better integration with the system and for user's freedom.

Yeah, you have to request amazon to remove the throttling from your network.

It took few year for aws to document that they have this limitation on their network.

One micro instance with Postfix is more than enough and can beat this setup not only in performance but in simplicity.

What a year to be alive ...

In cost? Running postfix.org mail sever on a VM must have a nonzero cost, with the additional need to maintain the underlying OS.

but are often blacklisted as SMTP sources, unfortunately.

Not really, only if it the IP was used to delivery spam.

But IP reputation can be established with a bit of warm up and human interaction.

Microsoft is pushing for their own version of FLoC AFAIK
