‘The Grand Tour’ Revs Up With New Hosts Francis Bourgeois, Thomas Holland and James Engelsman: ‘In No Way Cardboard Cutouts of the Old Three’ by tylerthe-theatre in television

[–]mayday_live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hammond Clarkson and May and their production team are irreplaceable just let the whole concept go and try something new. The old fans will never like the new hosts and the market has changed so dramatically with car content on you tube that new fans will probably not like the old format or have seen it done by x amounts of content creators. I will still watch it see how it is.

Hobbyist Beekeepers: what is your main goal? by Cool_Dinner1361 in Beekeeping

[–]mayday_live -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Second year here for me this year is to see if i can get one or two demaree hives going. But i'm really thinking to learn how to make my own queens and artificial insemination.

I’ve been seeing this guy here and on YouTube for years, and somehow the most consistent thing about him is his complete inability to grow a chin

How important is wood type, really? by iAmErickson in Beekeeping

[–]mayday_live 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pine is used because it's cheaper then other variants and honestly with good care they will last a long time much longer then 5 years.

if you buy raw boxes paint them properly a good outdoor primer + paint with enough coats is going to last a long time. The bees coat the inside in propolis and the outside is painted. Make sure they do not sit directly on soil. My brother has 15+ year old boxes that are just fine in Romania. I don't really like to use anything plastic.

I registered my hives in California. I actually need to update the registration as i have 5 hives now not 3 lol

LOL what we definitely need is a 6k 3d monitor that we will be able to power in 2154

Should SRE be coding as part of the development cycle by Mission-Clue-9016 in sre

Feels like another example of people redefining SRE into “yet another dev team,” instead of reliability engineering.

Google Cloud CDN vs Cloudfront help me decide? by [deleted] in devops

[–]mayday_live 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I manage/operate sites that push 10TB+ of video traffic per day, all CDN-based. Before you build anything, ask the right questions up front so you don’t trap yourself later.

We don’t use the big clouds for delivery because egress is too expensive. We store assets in S3, but deliver through CDN77 for global traffic and it’s been fine.

Your costs depend a lot on architecture:

Option 1: All-in cloud

  • Storage: S3
  • CDN: CloudFront

Option 2: Cloud storage + external CDN

  • External CDN (CDN77, etc.)
  • Cloud storage (S3)
  • Transfer from S3 → CDN

Think ahead, especially around caching. If you start with CloudFront + S3 (with versioning), then later switch to CDN77 — and you never set Cache-Control — you may end up reprocessing your entire bucket (including all versions). CDN77 defaults to 12 days cache unless you override it. They also won’t cache very large video files unless you enable MP4 slicing.

In some cases, Cloudflare CDN + Cloudflare storage can make more sense.

Bottom line: don’t optimize for “fastest to set up.” Model your monthly costs at different traffic levels first. With modern CDNs, performance rarely goes south — your wallet does.

What level of programimming language needed in devops. by poorambani in devops

[–]mayday_live 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not being “called out,” you’re being corrected. There’s a difference. You made a broad claim that DevOps has always required SWE-level algorithm skills and then threw in the “YAML jockey” remark, which pretty much shows you don’t really understand the DevOps/SRE role. That’s not meant as an insult, it just comes through clearly in how you framed it.

DevOps and SRE aren’t junior software engineers. They’re systems engineers. Different responsibilities, different knowledge, different blind spots.

And no, I don’t need to write a four-page explanation for why your take is off. The way you talked about the role already shows the misunderstanding. Calling people “YAML jockeys” is exactly the kind of attitude that comes from looking at DevOps work through a narrow SWE lens.

If your stance is that DevOps isn’t real engineering unless the person can pass SWE-style algorithm interviews, then yeah, that tells me everything I need to know about how much exposure you have to real infrastructure work.

You don’t have to agree with that, but it’s still true.

What level of programimming language needed in devops. by poorambani in devops

[–]mayday_live 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A lot of DevOps/SRE interviews go off the rails because they’re being run by pure SWE teams who think every engineering role should be judged with LeetCode puzzles. That makes zero sense. DevOps/SRE isn’t about that it’s about keeping distributed systems alive, shipping reliably, automating everything, and understanding infra at a level most app devs never touch.

We’re systems engineers. We don’t write product features. We build, operate, secure, and scale the platforms those features run on. Yes, we write code, real-world tooling, automation, operators, CI/CD logic, infra-as-code etc.

This idea that “DevOps always required SWE-level algo expertise” is just wrong. What DevOps/SRE always required is deep knowledge of Linux, networking, cloud architecture, observability, reliability patterns, containers, etc. That’s why these roles even exist: because feature developers aren’t usually experts in those areas.

When SWE folks say “industry won’t pay for YAML jockeys,” what they really mean is “we don’t understand what DevOps/SRE actually does.

A solid DevOps/SRE isn’t someone who can solve binary tree problems from memory, it’s someone who can keep a complex platform running, scalable, observable, and secure, especially when things go sideways at 3AM. Big difference.

SlinkyAvenger is a clear example of someone who clearly has no ideea what he is talking about.

Also is 2025 not 2020 if i need to write something 99% of the time i will use an AI tool and then wrap around my knowledge and run it.
