I was a backend developer for a startup company where:

  • Windows servers without any firewall and security hardening.
  • Docker swarm without WSL. We had to use 4 GB Windows base images for 50MB web apps.
  • MSSQL without any replication and backups.
  • Redis installed on Windows via 3rd-party tool that looked like a 2010 era keygen generator.
  • A malware exploited the Redis * what a surprise * and kept killing processes to mine crypto on CPU...
  • VPS provider forgot to activate new Windows Server on production and it kept restart for every 30 minutes until I checked the logs and notified them about the missing license.

I left there after 6 months.

GitHub constantly becomes more bloated, clunky and privacy/license concerning AI BS. It almost feels like using 2010 TFS server with git flavor. Unfortunately, It has a huge user base and it's hard to incentivize people to use other platforms.

It's easier for well-established projects to host their own git infrastructure. But for new projects and solo developer, it harder to get interaction on other platforms. I think that's why even Gitea team uses GitHub as a main location for development. Similarly, I still mirror my public repositories to GitHub for the same reasons even though I prefer using my own Gitea server.

Jiatan probably is in shambles right now. Poor guy spends years to infiltrate in a project and got caught. Meanwhile CrowdStrike took whole infrastructure down with a single update.

I just checked the manga artist's site, he also posted the source PSD files of the chapters. Literally gigachad move.

Firefox is slower on synthetic benchmarks compared to Chromium ones but I've never seen a noticeable difference while surfing sites.
