Thank you for the article "Best Practices Around Production Ready Web Apps with Docker Compose". I've been referring to it since seeing the original HN submission [0]. Something like Kubernetes was overkill for my needs, especially since Docker Compose is already a part of my development workflow.
I like to wander around art museums, and on one visit, I shared a gallery with what seemed like a private tour group.
One woman was conducting the tour for three people, when they stopped at one of these all-white paintings.
She was describing the potential meaning behind the work, and noted that sometimes the artist expresses textures, or covers some background work.
It's hard to describe, but I felt this sort of absurdist joy when I watched all four of them lean in very closely for half a minute, only to discover absolutely nothing unique about the work in its texture or color.
Maybe sometimes art isn't made for the observer, but the observer's observer.
I've been using it with SyncTrayzor on Windows for a few years and have found it extremely reliable. Currently syncing 3 computers with ~ 10,500 files, 600 folders, and 280 GiB. It is set up for LAN only, as I don't have a use case for syncing on the go.
Usually general fasting with only water consumed. Many practitioners will allow unadulterated coffee or tea. I haven't seen much evidence to indicate that dry fasting provides additional health benefits over water fasting.
That is an excellent solution as well. Qmail was pre-configured to work with '-' in the user string. But the use of subdomains would work as long as you could meet things like the Google DKIM checks.
The right way to solve this is that Visa and Master Card need to develop a standard to make super easy to generate a unique payment number everytime you make an online purchase. Then that should be built in as a browser extension or component. So I browse to a site, click to pay with my Visa card, and Visa automatically generates a unique code for that site and fills it in on the form.
Blur[0] from Abine has this in their premium version. I have used it, and overall it worked well, but I had some password syncing issues and stopped using it.
A final key innovation would be if email providers would make it super-easy to generate aliases per site. I do this myself manually with fastmail, but if there was a simple browser extension that would automatically create an alias and fill in a form, that would be great, because I could have a unique address that all funnels into one place, for everything I sign up to.
Something like this can be done on FastMail using a catchall alias[1], but it requires a custom domain, and the domain could be used to link all the accounts to you.
I'm experimenting with it, but what happens when I forget a password and the email I used to sign up for it? A password manager is an option for that, but they have their own problems.
Edit: FastMail also has subdomain addressing[2]. I believe it works with all of the FastMail provided domains.
There's an interesting concept in here that governments should consider registering a personal identity TLD under their country codes, and just make it policy that everyone gets a unique one under their legal name + a word or phrase to avoid collisions.
Check out BARF (biologically appropriate raw food, bones and raw food). It's possible to formulate the meals yourself, but it's hard to get the nutrients right. Several companies offer a balanced raw refrigerated/frozen product.
We had concerns about bacteria from the raw meat, so we feed a freeze dried raw food (Stella and Chewy's[0], no affiliation, just a happy customer). It can be expensive, costing around $5 per day to maintain a 15 lb dog, but our dog is a picky eater and loves it.
Raw food will most likely result in smaller, firmer stools. They're easier to pick up, and they dry out and deteriorate faster.
[0] Stella and Chewy had a recent recall due to listeriosis. Fortunately, none of our lots were affected.
I've been evaluating using uwsgi as a stand-alone server. I'm not sure how much load it would support, but I think it's possible get quite far with Django, sqlite, and uwsgi.
This happened to me with Batman: Arkham Asylum. Not saying that the game was bug-ridden, but I couldn't get it to run on my computer.
I had previously spent thousands of dollars through Steam, and after they wouldn't refund a $5 sale, I quit buying games through them. I even mailed a letter to Gabe Newell at their corporate headquarters, and while this has worked successfully with other companies, I never received a reply.
I also won't buy games that require Steam activation, which sucks sometimes. Shadowrun Returns was one such game, but it looks like they now have it on GoG, so I have something to play this weekend.
I'd start doing business with them again for a $5 store credit and an apology, but I have little hope that will ever happen.
