IT administration is still hard, but also:

- Endpoint security software is a backdoor
- Antivirus software is malware
- Compliance is not security

It’s 2024 and still hard to run stateful services on AWS without resorting to Kubernetes?

I just want to standup a three node cluster where each node gets a stable IP and persistent EBS volume attached and hosts a Docker container.
I don’t want to care about patch managing the host and I want to be able to upgrade the containers using rolling deployments.

ECS is close but missing EBS volumes that don’t get deleted on service restart. EFS is not an option.

It looks like I won’t be able to join #SoCraTes2024 due to other commitments 😭.

Which other #conference on Software topics can people recommend? Should be in EU or UK, and broad (people, practices, processes, technique) rather than narrow (single languages or tool). I consider #OpenSpace a big plus but not necessarily a must. Any recommendations?

After waiting for almost half a year, I am now a Tibber customer.

My old energy provider raised prices to 0.53€/kWh last year, when it was pretty much impossible to switch.

The government capped prices at 0.4€ and payed the rest out of tax payers money, they probably thought people don’t care. But, it’s a massive scam.

So, I’m very happy to be on a tariff that shows me what the energy we are consuming actually costs, and to be able to cancel on a monthly basis.
