While managed databases obviously make things easier. My longer term experience with PaaS services like Heroku and managed K8S have lead me to conclude that the basic premise of PaaS is wrong and that these services do not save engineering time.The reason is obvious when you think about it. We already have great tools for setting up VPSes and automating their maintenance. For PaaS to work at scale its maintenance has to be automated. For PaaS to actually work, they would have to beat the existing linux tools at their own game. Head to head even Amazon doesn't have the resources to compete with the entire devops community.Even when PaaS has been better in the past, it has been quickly overtaken by standard open source tooling. Years ago, one might have chosen Heroku because they didn't want to mess with HTTPS, now Caddy is far easier to set up and is massively more powerfull.

This post was brought to you by internal DNS on Digitsl Ocean's managed K8S breaking (again) and me not being able to fix it but it still being my problem.

@offset___cyan I'm pretty sure we can be certain he will die. People usually do.

@louis Yeah, thanks for the confirmation. I'd love to.see a graph comparing the use of the phrase 'high availability' to measured uptime. I'm pretty sure there's an inverse correlation. I can't remember stack overflow ever going down...

@louis Is there any way to interact with (share, comment or like) older posts from other servers? When I try to see them I get this message:

@louis Emacs.ch is great, and the ability to put people you follow on the ignore list for a week or so at a time allows me to network with good interesting people who post depressing political content without getting dragged into it. Definitely the best social media experience I've had. Only thing that compares to it is #emacs and #xmonad back in the freenode golden eara.

@mms I also went over to vim for years, the draw of the shell is indeed strong, though if your main need is to edit files in ssh, tramp us excellect. https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/Now I use spacemacs, which has vim hotkeys, and xmonad for quickly jumping from shell to editor and vice versa...

@louis I've never used it. My main concern with graphql is that too many web frameworks have a quick 30 second "add graphql" switch and I'm worried that inexperienced devs might not understand the implications of letting the frontend query their DB like that. I'm not sure if this is truely a problem with GraphQL though,or if it is more a trouble of the way frsmeworks expose it.

I'm so confused, I have a VM on digital ocean that seems to be perfectly snappy over http but ssh is unusably slow. Even mosh is unusable. The shell in portainer works just fine 🥴

It often has a delay in the 5-30 second range but sometimes works just fine for like 2 minutes...
