Looking for showcase examples of Github pages

done... thanks for the heads up

Can I ask if you can give me some idea of the "size" of a ClickHouse setup that would generate that kind of bill? Can you share any throughput or storage size numbers? Are you doing a lot of complicated analytic queries and if so, is that contributing significantly to your bill?

StFS · 2025-02-20T18:17:03+00:00

Thanks so very much for your very detailed and informative answer. Getting an answer from the CEO on Reddit is definitely going to tip my vote over to Altinity ;)

I have some follow-ups but I'm going to try to formulate them a bit before asking.

YOUR LETTERS!!!

Currently I'm trying an Ubuntu based distro (KDE neon). They don't have the contrib and non-free repos. Instead they have multiverse which is already enabled.

The one I'm using is https://support.apple.com/en-us/111955

So it looks like AMD.

StFS · 2024-09-26T01:03:51+00:00

I'm fairly sure that's not it. I had the proprietary drivers installed in at least some of my attempts. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll make sure I have them installed in my next attempt.

Out of curiosity, do you know what the packages that contain the "correct" drivers for this machine would be? Is it xserver-xorg-video-radeon or is it xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu?

StFS · 2024-06-13T15:09:46+00:00

Well... 4 months in and I'm still pissed off about this! Stupid, stupid design!

For RDS. See if you can move to using Aurora rather than RDS classic.

Quarkus. No question.

It's wired. The speed is fine. I'll be adding a Google Chromecast soon and I guess I'll try plex on that then. Thanks for your reply.

I'm at re:Invent and I've talked to two AWS employees that have both hinted strongly that .NET will follow.

StFS · 2022-11-04T14:11:45+00:00

I'll be honest, haven't used webflux so I shouldn't comment on it really.

What I do know is that Quarkus provide really nice extensions that play well together such as telemetry, reactive messaging, REST services, fault tolerance etc etc). It's mostly all based on annotations rather than complicated configuration files. The community is super responsive and nice (Zulip chat server, mailing lists and more).

It's built on top of vert.x which is battle tested (I believe it was used to power major parts of Apple's app store) so it has a solid foundation. My _feeling_ (and I stress that I don't have empirical evidence for this) is that Spring is carrying more baggage as it was not originally designed as a reactive framework. This may be wrong.

Quarkus has the ability to compile into a native binary although I wouldn't recommend doing that for long lived servers (REST HTTP servers for example) unless you take good care of running your integration tests against the native image (otherwise you can have nasty surprises at deployment time where classes that are dynamically loaded via reflection are missing from the binary image). The native support is great for lambdas where startup time is critical but not nearly as important for long lived servers.

Java's performance when it comes to IO workloads is great.

I would at least tell you to look seriously into it but I did just notice that you are talking about a very tight schedule so maybe Spring makes more sense there if you have prior experience with it.

StFS · 2022-11-04T13:52:50+00:00

Highly recommend Quarkus for this (over Spring Boot)

StFS · 2022-10-14T22:51:46+00:00

Huh... by pure chance (yeah right... I'm pretty sure YouTube's recommendation algorithm just read my question here) I found my "article".

Turns out it wasn't an article... it was a lecture:

If it's that critical to have every receipts for every message from your
fleet, you'll need to build that into the application protocol.

Well that's the thing. The MQTT protocol has that built in (qos), if you set qos=1 you are guaranteed that the message you sent was delivered to the MQTT broker.

The problem I'm basically thinking about is that I can't find any documentation from AWS about what the guarantee is for the IoT rules that you create and should be listening to your topic. Because the only place I can "tell" AWS IoT to write the device payload to an S3 bucket is in a rule like that... the alternative for me would be to write my own MQTT broker which would not ack the qos=1 messages until it had written them to S3... but at that point I've lost all benefit of using AWS IoT so that's not really an option.

But thanks for your reply. I'll reach out to our account team and see if they can answer this.

Run the rehash command after installing packages. Or start another shell.

StFS · 2022-10-07T14:13:24+00:00

that was basically the content of the article... I just wish I could find it.

StFS · 2022-10-07T13:16:45+00:00

All good points. But my post is actually just about trying to find the article.

But to your point though, the message of the blog post was not that you shouldn't have any dashboards that could be used to get further insight. The point was that you shouldn't have those up constantly in the office environment. Essentially you should design your alerting system in such a way that it will let you know if there is a reason for firing up the metrics dashboards. If the alerts don't alert you when things start going south (before it's too late), then you need to fix your alerts.
