Re:GitHub merge queue is generally available on Thursday July 13, 2023 @08:28AM (#36708131)
Note from https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/46757 that "@depdendabot merge command does not work" - we struggled with this for a while when testing a few months back before deciding to pause adopting this (merge queues are particularly useful for dependabot PRs where you likely have a stack of them that you want to approve and forget).

Re:What are your most used self-hosted applications? on Wednesday May 04, 2022 @12:21PM (#31262567)
I was reluctant to switch from Emby to Plex for this same reason but it turns out you can run plex self-hosted without any account. I have Plex running on a server and streaming from the Plex app on an LG TV without requiring an account.

Re:An Overview of Docker Desktop Alternatives on Wednesday September 01, 2021 @11:07AM (#28380769)
The article doesn't mention k3d (https://k3d.io/) which is a variant of k3s that runs in docker (rather than a VM) - very nice for k8s dev/test on developer workstations.

It integrates very nicely with https://tilt.dev/ also (another very useful tool for k8s related dev/test).

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_manufacturing_si... - Intel has a 14nm in the EU (Ireland) and has planned a 7nm fab also - so "the EU" also plays in this space. A TSMC fab also would be good too of course but things aren't that bad.
Re:SQLite is not a toy database on Thursday March 25, 2021 @01:00PM (#26582661)
Check out rqlite (https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite) for that functionality - "rqlite is a lightweight, distributed relational database, which uses SQLite as its storage engine. Forming a cluster is very straightforward, it gracefully handles leader elections, and tolerates failures of machines, including the leader. rqlite is available for Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows."
Re:GitLab 10.6 released with CI/CD for GitHub on Thursday March 22, 2018 @07:13PM (#16653598)
Nice summary. Did you test support for handling multiple changes to a single project in parallel? The only CI Platform I've found that tries to handle this in any meaningful way is OpenStack Zuul (https://zuul-ci.org/) and https://docs.openstack.org/infra/zuul/user/gating.html#testi... for details of the parallel support.

Do others have this need? Or are people generally focusing on keeping CI runs short and landing changes in a serial fashion?
