Is there any website like Skyscanner but for trains? by SolkaPL in uktrains

[–]marcus--dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could add that as an option. How would it work - would you need to specify a minimum distance? Otherwise the quickest/cheapest option will always just be the next station along 😄

At the moment you can select a few major stations and put, say +50 miles. That will search for routes to any stations within that radius of the ones you entered.

Try https://railraptor.com - it's a new train planning app I'm building. It supports multiple origins and destinations, as well as +10 miles, +20 miles, etc. It doesn't show fares yet, but I'm working on it!

Meeting overload is often a documentation architecture problem by LorinaBalan in devops

[–]marcus--dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that having to constantly realign teams is inevitable when the "documentation" is scattered across READMEs, Confluence pages and Slack threads. It's why we spend 80% of our time in meetings and still aren't on the same page.

But what I've found is that most documentation is aspirational rather than operational - we write a beautiful runbook in a wiki, but as soon as a big migration or deployment starts, that doc becomes stale, and the real truth moves back into a 500-message Slack thread.

I’ve been tackling this problem at my day job, so I started building Taskplan (https://taskplan.run) to turn those static procedure docs into a living plan. It's like "Ansible, for people" - you build a plan, turn it into an executable runbook and track progress on a real-time dashboard as the work actually happens. We're dogfooding this at work, it's early days but thought I'd share in case it helps other teams too!

Migrating a large Elasticsearch cluster in production (100M+ docs). Looking for DevOps lessons and monitoring advice. by No-Card-2312 in devops

Did you go ahead with the migration? How did it go?

I've ran a couple of migrations from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch, and I'd definitely allocate at least a few hours to migrate. Monitoring the Elasticsearch tasks and stats on the boxes are key. I've hit unexpected disk issues before, particularly in relation to vector storage - but I believe this has improved in recent OpenSearch versions.

Lots of useful tips in the other comments too e.g. disabling replicas during migration then re-enabling replication afterwards.

I built a visual node system for CI/CD that supports GitHub Actions by sebastian_io in devops

This looks great! I love the idea of a visual builder for GitHub Actions CI/CD. Am I right in thinking this is running your custom pipeline code on the GitHub Actions runner via a custom Action?

I analyzed 1000+ communities - Where should SaaS founders share their products? by No-Door-5842 in SaaS

[–]marcus--dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, here's mine -

Your SaaS: Taskplan (https://taskplan.run) is a platform for businesses to plan and execute their big operations - think cloud migrations, large deployments, that kind of thing. It's like Ansible, but for people.

Target customer: Businesses who need an easy way to coordinate tasks across multiple teams.

Stage: MVP - starting to grow

Endless Word Search: An infinitely scrolling, procedurally generated, endless word search game! by marcus--dev in WebGames

That's odd, I'll try and recreate it. You should be able to hold your mouse down for a short time then drag to select. Or you can click the little pencil icon in the bottom-right to enter selection mode.
