I haven't found that, but even if that is true, it saves you tons of time having to filter out all the sponsored results and get to the things that actually give you the information you where searching for.

I love treafik, we use it with nomad/consul and docker to setup our whole infrastructure. The plugin system is also simple yet powerful and the dynamic configs are great for our customers custom domains, we can quickly see if a domain points to the right IP and put it in to get everything working. And of a domain no longer points to is we get a slack notification and it removes it from traefik so it no longer tries to get SSL certificates for it.

On: Redis is forked

[MrOxiMoron]

at work we're still at the pre-fork drama version of elasticsearch, it works and leaves us open to pick whichever direction we want to go at a later date when we need it. The same will be for redis, it works, no need to stay up to date.

I guess you're lucky not to work in a regulated industry:

Do you still get support from Elastic with that version? Why not just move to OpenSearch?

this, the number of times I've heard: I can't sleep those estimates to the customer. How is that a me problem? I don't care how you sell it, just know that my estimate is pretty accurate on how much time we need to build it.

And also don't expect us to work 8 hours a day doing tasks.

the biggest problem I have with it that with custom styling and bad choices in those that it will be hard to see when it's on or off. A checkbox is very clear in that regard.

is the bridge open when it's up or is it closed when it's up?

this raises the question; what do people do with their iPhones to crack the screen? terminal velocity is not enough speed it seems.

[speedgoose → MrOxiMoron]

They drop it on harder surfaces than grass on mud or hit corners of furnitures with the phone in the pocket for example. I tend to do that.

[nottorp → speedgoose]

If you have one of the idiotic models where the glass extends to the side, you just need to drop it on a hard surface. My iPhone XS is cracked now starting from two opposite corners. Funny enough, the touch screen still works perfectly, it's just the outer layer of glass that's gone so I plan to keep it 1-2 more years. [1]

The newer and older models with a metal band around the edges should be more resilient. I'm probably dropping phones with the same frequency [2], but the older ones with the metal were just fine(tm) when i stopped using them, just the metal band dented in places.

[1] I'd get it replaced but no way I'm paying Apple prices for this old phone, and the 3rd party repair shops warned me they may have to replace the whole display if the outer glass doesn't come off neatly and that will lead to iOS complaining it's not a genuine display onscreen.

[2] or maybe more often, since the rounded edges all glass design is easier to drop...
