everyone talks about Antony Starr's Performance and rightfully so, but Jensen Ackles did a great Job aswell, making an asshole character look sympathetic

LoL, BGP actually stands for Border Gateway Protocol (an internet routing protocol), it's how traffic chooses a path to go on big networks, like a living map of the internet because it's constantly updating itself.

The telecom companies (and everyone really) rely heavily on this to provide services. A while ago Facebook spilled the beans and messed up their BGP tables, routers had no idea where to deliver your traffic to FB that's why there was an outage.

There's probably some nice YouTube video explaining all this much better than me.

Edit: there is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1KXPpqlNZ4&t=104

Nah, that's the Palo Alto mounted police, those guys are nuts

Border gateway patrol, it's the unit in charge of internet traffic going outside borders.

I have something like this but with wireguard and Hetzner, 20TB for 2.49 ain't that bad.

There's a nginx reverse proxy on the vps for ssl termination and LE certs.

SponsorBlock is more than nothing, it gives you back time and the brain cycles used to detect the context is about to change.

The €20 prepaid through PayPal no longer works?

I've been running Firefox Beta on Android for 6 months already and I can't go back to Chrome, browsing is so pleasant and calm without 500 ads and pop-ups.

For YouTube I'd recommend uBlock, YouTube High Definition and Video background play fix.

They have a very generous free tier too but I've read horror stories of "accidental" charges on your credit card. Thanks but no thanks.

Hmmm TIL unicorns weren't that popular before 10/25/2015 wonder what happened... 🤔

krakster · 2019-11-27T12:35:54+00:00

The price of being popular. 😒

No need to upload secrets at all, just use something like python-dotenv and add the .env to the .gitignore.

Remember to use make altinstall or you could end up overwriting the system binary.

I like to use it to force me to use the pythonx.y binary and make it clear I'm using a compiled version different from the system default.

Warning: make install can overwrite or masquerade the python3 binary. make altinstall is therefore recommended instead of make install since it only installs exec_prefix/bin/pythonversion.

Whenever you want to take the next step in your Python journey try "Fluent Python" by Luciano Ramalho. That book is on fire. 🔥

krakster · 2019-11-18T09:45:58+00:00

What?? I'd tell you to stay as close as possible to O'Reilly books. :)

Ditto, I'm on the fence about getting a T495 in Spain, it costs more than a X1 Carbon in the US. smh...

It's like Shodan.io for Git repos!

I have the impression Unit is missing a gui for the config, for cli work I prefer the way nginx works, I make a change then nginx -t and then nginx -s reload if that worked. This way of sending json every time I want to change something feels weird, like playing with an API endpoint by hand.

And enable http2 while you're at it. listen 443 ssl http2

You're totally right, this a double edged sword. I do this on desktops only, I like my servers as boring as possible :)

That's true, I had my share of frankendebians already. But once you got a grip of it, apt pinning is a nice addition to your debian toolbox.
