The FreeBSD/Firecracker Platform
I started working on this on June 20th mainly out of curiosity: I had heard that Firecracker had PVH boot support (which was in fact mistaken!) and I knew that FreeBSD could boot in PVH mode from Xen, so I wondered just how hard it would be to get FreeBSD up and running. Not impossible, as it turned out, but a bit…

Host your own contacts and calendars and share them across devices
I'm trying to learn ways to minimize my reliance upon large companies for handling my day-to-day personal data. So I figured calendar and contacts should be on my list of things to self-host.

A terminal case of Linux
Has this ever happened to you? You want to look at a JSON file in your terminal, so you pipe it into jq so you can look at it with colors and stuff. That’s a useless use of cat. …oh hey cool bear....

We might want to regularly keep track of how important each server is
You're probably reading this page because you've attempted to access some part of my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or CSpace , the wiki thing it's part of. Unfortunately you're using a browser version that my anti-crawler precautions consider suspicious, most often because it's too old (most often this applies to versions…

Comparing AWS S3 with Cloudflare R2: Price, Performance and User Experience
In September 2021, Cloudflare took the tech world by storm by announcing R2: a storage service accessible through the ubiquitous S3 API but that didn't charge any egress ("bandwidth") fees. You only pay for storage and read/write/delete requests. It was a major kick in the incumbents' balls who all…

Why Kubernetes isn't using Docker's libnetwork
Kubernetes has had a very basic form of network plugins since before version 1.0 was released — around the same time as Docker's libnetwork and Container Network Model (CNM) was introduced. Unlike libnetwork, the Kubernetes plugin system still retains its "alpha" designation. Now that Docker's network plugin support…

Making Postgres scale
A war story of manually sharding Postgres across 6 databases under load, and the case for automating the process with a proxy instead of weeks of engineering effort.

Docker Considered Harmful (2016)
A note in advance: This is absolutely not about Docker being too "opinionated" for me, or other tools being more flexible. I believe that learning and using Docker is just plain more complicated than learning and using the tools I describe below. Docker is genuinely more complex and harder to use than the…

But I'm going to make an argument which I think mostly…
