  • Yeah, ofc it is.

    I’m working in a system that generates 750 MILLION non-debug log messages a day (And this isn’t even as many as others).

    Good luck grepping that, or making heads or tails of what you need.

    We put a lot of work into making the process of digging through logs easier. The absolute minimum we can do it dump it into elastic so it’s available in Kibana.

    Similarly, in a K8 env you need to get logs off of your pods, ASAP, because pods are transient, disposable. There is no guarantee that a particular pod will live long enough to have introspectable logs on that particular instance (of course there is some log aggregation available in your environment that you could grep. But they actually usefulness of it is questionable especially if you don’t know what you need to grep for).

    These are dozens, hundreds, more problems that crop up as you scale the number of systems and people working on those systems.

    Yeah I had literally no idea what you were talking about until you mentioned the actual name in the comments.

    NPM almost universally refers to node package manager in any developer or development adjacent conversation in my experience. Given that both the site, the command, the logo, and the binaries are “npm” makes that more appropriate.

    Nginix proxy manager is far to niche to be referred to universally by acronym when it’s only ever used as an acronym when the context for it’s usage has already been defined (ie. In it’s documentation).

    This becomes much more clear when you Google the acronym.


  • It is, but also it’s worrisome since it means support is harder, which means risk of abandonment is higher and community contributions lower. Which means “buying in” is riskier for the time investment.

    Not really criticizing, 10/10 points on making something and then putting it out there, nothing wrong with that. Just being a user who’s seen too many projects become stale or abandoned, and have noticed that the trend has some correlation to the technology choices those projects made.





  • I might be crazy but I have a 20TB WD Red Pro in a padded, water proof, locking, case that I take a full backup on and then drive it over to a family members 30m away once a month or so.

    It’s a full encrypted backup of all my important stuff in a relatively different geographic location.

    All of my VM data backs up hourly to my NAS as well. Which then gets backed up onto the large drive monthly.

    Monthly granularity isn’t that good to be fair but it’s better than nothing. I should probably back up the more important rapidly changing stuff online daily.
