Pri príležitosti zápisu insitného umenia kovačických Slovákov do Reprezentatívneho zoznamu nehmotného kultúrneho dedičstva ľudstva UNESCO sa ešte koncom minulého roka na Úrade pre Slovákov žijúcich v zahraničí zrodila myšlienka usporiadať pri tejto príležitosti podujatie, ktoré kovačickú insitu predstaví širokej verejnosti.

my biggest fear of starting to work with servers professionally is realizing that no one uses servers anymore and having to do some cloud bullshit instead
⤋ Read More
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Using full-blown Cloud services is good for old people like me who don’t want to do on-call duty when a disk fails. 😂 I like sleep! 😂
Jokes aside, I like IaaS as a middle ground. There are IaaS hosters who allow you to spin up VMs as you wish and connect them in a network as you wish. You get direct access to all those Linux boxes and to a layer 2 network, so you can do all the fun networking stuff like BGP, VRRP, IPSec/Wireguard, whatever. And you never have to worry about failing disks, server racks getting full, cable management, all that. 😅
I’m confident that we will always need people who do bare-bones or “low-level” stuff instead of just click some Cloud service. I guess that smaller companies don’t use Cloud services very often (because it’s way too expensive for them).
