A story about why using managed services in the Cloud is turbo nice when you're a small team
Production went down. Load balancer health checks failing. All instances marked unhealthy.
SSH'd into an instance:
- App: running
- CPU: 5%
- Memory: 40%
- Disk: 15%
- Network: fine
Manually hit health endpoint:
curl localhost/health
{"status": "ok"}
Worked perfectly.
Checked load balancer logs:
- Health check URL: /health
- Response: timeout
- Instance marked: unhealthy
The issue:
- Health endpoint responded in 100ms locally
- Load balancer timeout: 2 seconds
- Should be plenty of time
Then I noticed: Health check ran every 5 seconds.
App logged every health check. To a file. That file grew to 47 GB.
Every health check:
1. Opened 47 GB log file
2. Appended 1 line
3. Closed file
4. Took 3 seconds due to file size
5. Timed out
Fix: Disabled health check logging. Response time: back to 100ms.

something weird is happening to dynamodb.us-east-1.amazonaws…
maybe it's just my machine somehow but there's no DNS record anymore on Google or Cloudflare

it is currently easier to install arch Linux than either OSX or Windows
Hyprland, one polish kid, has made a better looking desktop experience than multi-trillion dollar Apple or Microsoft could
it really might be the year of the Linux desktop
Look at all the crazy things you have to do when you don't use @datomic_team
How long should your 1password master pw be?
On Linux I have to enter it on every boot, no HW backed keystore with fingerprint etc.
My current PW is turbo long and it's cumbersome.

Good guy Bose QC35. I've had these for at least 10 years. Just replaced the ear pads for the third time. Good as new!
Hopefully these cheap Chinese off brand pads won't give me ear cancer
