I think you can even use standard haproxy acl rules and tables to extract few bytes from the request and route them correctly. No need for Go.

Using /usr/bin instead of /bin comes down to that is much easier to mount one /usr instead of doing bunch of bind mounts for /bin /sbin /lib /lib32 /lib64,

I have used TimescaleDB in my last work place. We needed a easy way to store and visualize 500hz sensor data for few 10s of devices. We used it and Grafana to build a internal R&D tool and it worked way better than I imagined. Before I left I think the DB was using ~200GB on a compressed btrfs volume in DigitalOcean droplet and still performed fine for interactive Grafana usage.

I own a 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid (similar drive train to Prius) and it defrost the window way faster than my previous Volkswagen Passat. Ice and snow handling has been pretty similar here in North Europe compared to my previous car, studded winter tires are the key. Visibility is also quite comprareble.

It's cool to see that they are still going. To any one looking to using this for SMPP connections should skip the releases and build it straight from SVN trunk to get the latest bugfixes.

I'm using lieer and mujmap to sync my Gmail and Fastmail accounts to a local notmuch mail storage on top of ZFS pool. That ZFS pool is in turn replicated off site.
I use neomutt to access my archive over SSH. And notmuch is very fast at searching all of my emails.

Re:How to fork: Best practices and guide

You can also `git fetch` and `git reset --hard origin/force-pushed-branch` to get your local branch up to speed with remote one assuming you don't have any local changes.

It's bit hidden but once you enable `git rerere`, it will remember your fixed up rebase conflicts.

Re:Digital signatures and how to avoid them
on Friday September 20, 2024 @04:12AM (#41599862)
It's mostly about performance. If you can store all the required info about the user inside the cookie then you can avoid a DB query roundtrip before sending a response.
Now that your cookie looks like this (probably also base64 encoded):
{"id": 42, "display_name": "John", "is_admin": false, "session_end_at":1726819411}
You don't have to hit the DB to display "Hi John" to the user and hide the jucy "Admin" panel. Without HMAC, an attacker could flip the "is_admin" boolean in the cookie.You could also create a cookie that is just random bytes
F2x8V0hExbWNMhYMCUqtMrdpSNQb9dwiSiUBId6T3jg
and then store it in a DB table with similar info but now you would have to query that table for each request. For small sites it doesn't matter much and if it becomes a problem you can quite easily move that info into a faster key-value store like Redis. And when Redis also becomes too slow you are forced to move to JSON Web Tokens (JWT) witch is just a more standardized base64 encoded json wrapped with HMAC to avoid querying a database for each request.But even if you are using random bytes as your session identifier, you should still wrap it in a HMAC so that you can drop invalid sessions early. Just for making it harder for someone to DDOS your DB.
