This is indeed so true; yet money doesn't buy time. Unless you are in your dream location there's always inherent costs to visiting relatives / friends, match their schedule, or simply go wherever you feel good. So you end-up with a double need for money ;)

Still ... I fully agree!

OP here, the post is only a simple trick that may be of some use to some people.

Eventually we merged that logic in an in-house app we built back in the days when the containers orchestration tools were still "rare", if i recall https://github.com/toscanini/maestro had just launched but wasn't really usable yet...

Neat, I'll give it a shot.

Sounds interesting, got anything more detailed about that approach?

Thanks for the --dns tip!

I'm perfectly fine with the DNS/DHCP approach, just wondering what are the alternatives out there. That dnsmasq approach worked like a charm for several of our projects for 1+ year.

Always wondering of the extra round-trip on DNS request when we could have a hardcoded value in the host. We're talking local network so the latency ain't much of an issue but still. Then there is the possibility of a dnsmasq restart when a request occur, caching ala nscd could work, but then we're in for a lot more trouble when it comes to expire that cache !

I like the consul approach, I'm just not a big fan of Bind :) I'll give it a shot. Thanks !

I'd love to hear about other people's workflow when it comes to address that issue - are you simply re-provisoning the all shebang if a critical component is to be updated or change? or relying on etcd/zookeeper as mentioned? or ...

Down from China ... nah it's not new

13.04 is vulnerable, just out of the support period of ubuntu (decreased from 18 months down to 6 months in 2013) - basically out of luck, either use a ppa, or upgrade to 13.10

Really? I'm so surprised to see so many "Awesome! Go for it" answers to this.

While I admire the dedication and focus it takes to stay up to such routine, I am certainly concerned by the quality of life and the narrow mindedness of enforcing upon oneself to code on a daily basis. What about days off? Going out friends / family for a weekend or holidays? One would suggest to bring your laptop so you can stick to it? This is madness to me...

I love to code, contribute to OS projects, do code for a leaving and for myself - but for nothing in the world I'd even attempt such thing.

Setting yourself with goals is great and required to some extend but on a proper schedule. Going to the gym 3 times a week can be achieved without being complexed by the fact you didn't go there every single day - and yet you can substantially improve yourself. I don't envy those buffy dudes that stick to it.

I'll stick to enjoying evenings with my wife, do code maybe 1 or 2 times during the week days, spend an extra day on more complex issues on the week end, and rest for the last day. Just saying.

"Unlike manners, there isn’t a universally-agreed objective standard" :)

Manners aren't universally agreed either, they are very much tied to the culture people are evolving in. Burping in the middle-east is appropriate and a courtesy to your host, I doubt it'd be very much enjoyed in a White House dinner. Taking some (good?) wine as bottom's up is respectful to your boss/partners in China, yet I believe some of your guests in France would find this offensive ;)

Interesting read nevertheless.

Very wordy but plenty of usefulness!
