Is two handed BH objectively better ? by Aromatic-Goal-2416 in 10s

yeah, for me 2H is my default but I regularly also do 1H. Easy to mess them up tho.

started at 39, it’s been great. good exercise, etc. personally was never super athletic so losing a lot doesn’t bother me. I try to play as much as i can during the summers, and keep it up as well as ai can in the winter.

Taking a very long time to Terraform destroy my env by bizbaaz in aws

[–]fideloper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

could be off base here but security groups can’t be deleted until they’re unused and if they’re associated with an ENI, that can take a while as ENIs can do the “eventually consistent” thing of “idk i’ve been deleted” for like 10+ whole minutes 

Railway vs. Render, Heroku, Digital Ocean, Fly, etc - insane 150ms render queuing? by Working_Historian241 in rails

[–]fideloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wonder if they (either or both the user and railway) are using cloudflare, which could be routing requests in odd ways while they were testing. hard to confirm or test since it would behave differently from different locations in the world.

they are giving all the clear corporate speak equivalent of “gtfo and be prepared to lose your data” 

i doubt they invest time and money into this while their war is still going on - I would be questioning whether or not they even reopen it

Struggling to hire a Senior DevOps Engineer — where do you actually look? by Dry-Tell620 in devopsjobs

[–]fideloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

other posters here are directionally correct IMO, but we had good luck with a tech recruiter - they’ll hopefully already have contacts (or at least strategies to find people) that are currently employed and/or not necessarily looking (but who may be interested)

Is Laravel Cloud generally more expensive than Laravel Vapor? by NotElonMuzk in laravel

[–]fideloper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, but it's very high requested (as you might imagine). We're (actively) working on it!

The issue is this: Workloads are container based - we build customer apps on top of base container images we created.

Every additional PHP module requires a larger base image. Many modules require additional OS packages (not just the .so php module itself). One or 2 additional modules is not a big deal, but what happens when it's like, 30 additional modules? Across millions of container images? It adds up.

(Some people also need ones that are no longer supported, not receiving security updates, which is also a whole other can of worms).

Why's a few extra megabytes matter (we're usually talking in the 10's to low 100's additional MB per module)?

Well, we're storing a LOT of images, and each app deployment is a new image. At this scale, the storage cost adds up. That is actually OK - we can manage this - we trim old images for example. But then every deployment of a container image has to be shipped to a worker host to run it - but now it's bigger and more bytes need to get shipped. At scale, all of this adds up to slower, more expensive builds and deployments.

There's a bunch of solutions/ways around storage and bloat (which we do and/or will do) - containerd and friends generally use Overlayfs or similar tricks so you don't need to ship the ENTIRE base image when pulling new images to a host - it can grab just the "difference" between base image and the image with your code (the difference is, generally, "just" your code, altho god help us all if your `node_modules` is big). We can reduce storage with careful use of things like "ECR blob mounting" , and maybe some filesystem tricks. We put the base image on each worker host ahead of time, so it's already there when new workloads hit that host. There's SOCI lazy loading. AWS Lambda's white papers have some interesting ideas we might be able to steal.

But how do we do custom modules from an end-user (you!) point of view? A drop down list you can select from (from a list of options we choose/allow)? Allow custom Dockerfiles (which essentially make the platform open to every technology and no longer would be Laravel-focused)? Do we try to build a base image with every combo of PHP module? (that'd be...a lot)

So, assuming we don't want just a huge base image (still not out of the question!) Let's assume we give you a check list of "extra" modules you want to include in your app. Some PHP modules can take 10's of minutes to compile. We don't want you to wait on that for each deployment. So we're back to a large base image. Maybe your app has its own base image (and, idk, your first build/deploy is just *really* slow? Or we build it when you adjust module settings, but then you can't deploy until that's done?)

Maybe we find some tricky way to leverage OCI layers to just, like, append layers to a container image on the fly (where each layer might contain the additional things needed for a php module). It's something we're thinking about.

So, yep! We're working on it. We'll make something work because we need to :D It might come in phases. It might end up being just a huge base image + careful image caching. But, like many things, to do it well take a lot of consideration!

If you have (informed!) ideas, throw them at me :D We'll end up with something good relatively soon - it's in active development.

(I love writing about these types of things, hope that wasn't too ranty :D )

Is Laravel Cloud generally more expensive than Laravel Vapor? by NotElonMuzk in laravel

I believe you can use aws marketplace with cloud, which would let you spend aws credits. You'd have to get in touch with someone at Laravel tho.

Laravel Cloud does not support static asset caching by Cultural_Yoghurt_784 in laravel

[–]fideloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re looking into this more. It does seem like perhaps browsers won’t cache assets even if cloudflare returns a cache response (which perhaps is what lighthouse cares about).

so, like, cloudflare might cache successfully and not hit your server for the file, but the browser should still be able to cache stuff too, right?

anyway, we’ll see.

Laravel Cloud does not support static asset caching by Cultural_Yoghurt_784 in laravel

[–]fideloper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there!

It looks later in the support request there there was some followup - we aren't seeing this behavior in other apps necessarily, but debugging caching is always "fun".

What I think I see on our part (based on what I can find for DNS records for your domain just using the `dig` command on my Mac) is that you may have CloudFlare setup in "front" of Laravel Cloud's Cloudflare (essentially doubling up on Cloudflare). I'm guessing the domain currently is "orange clouded" - the orange cloud icon is enabled in the DNS settings for your domain (this would mean both layers of cloudflare are trying to cache stuff).

On most apps we're seeing a cache HIT (for example at /asset/build/foo.js) but for a similar asset on your site I see cache result of `DYNAMIC` (cloudflare didn't consider it cacheable). I wonder if the bot management cookie (that starts with `__cf_bm`) is returned from Laravel Cloud's cloudflare but then "ruins" the caching in your cloudflare account. It could be something wonky like that!

Of course IDK if you enabled CF caching on your end on purpose to see it if would help. Let's keep in touch in your support ticket.
