Is there a nuance to usage of the word hierarchy that I'm not understanding in this context?
Like if I invite a bunch of friends over to help me move into a new apartment, is there a hierarchy because I'm telling everyone where to put the boxes? If my pal Sarah drives a truck for work, so I entrust her to load the van with two other people, is that a hierarchy?
I'm not asking this to be a smartass, I'd just like to understand if there is a meaningful difference between hierarchy and deferring to someone's skill in a particular domain.
Tea bags are fine, but I recently discovered tea resin. It's basically a small block of concentrated tea that you dissolve into hot water. Not quite as good as fresh leaves, but more portable (dozens of servings fit in a tin the size of a USB stick) and very resilient against going bad.
I have a small selection of resins on emergency stash in my work bag, in case the coffee machine at the office is broken.
You can generate your ssh keys outside of docker and make them available in the container through a mounted directory. You will need to manually copy the public key to your remote host authorized_keys file anyway.
I always thought that wish-granting is instant, even if the effects of that wish are delayed.
So if I wish for something to happen in 5 days, it's granted in the moment and guaranteed to happen. That raises a question though: Can I wish to cancel a wish I have already made, but whose effect has not yet taken hold? On its face, this should be possible, but if we take it as a given that all valid wishes are always granted at the moment of utterance, then it might be physically/psychologically impossible for me or anyone else to revoke the wish before its IRL effect is complete.
The pain of keeping it around will outweigh the pain of needing it and not having it.
Quick boot into windows to help a friend test something on your machine?
Twenty-five bajillion updates since you never logged in
Windows "helpfully" cleaning up your Linux bootloader
Any shared NTFS partition between windows and Linux is almost guaranteed to be left in a "dirty" state when windows shuts down, meaning you have to run ntfsfix before Linux will mount it again
And suddenly, that's where you'll be spending the whole afternoon. I agree with the others who say a VM is probably good enough.
I can outsource things like ddos protection to my cdn provider, but that would still be just kinda hoping I didn’t have any attackable surface I didn’t think of prelaunch.
In that case, I wonder if your money would be better spent on contracting a security review. If you're worried about unknown attack surface, I'm not sure that funding organized crime to rent a botnet would help. Botnet operators rely on you to tell them what to attack, so you're unlikely to discover anything new here. Better to hire a professional and get a fresh opinion.
Is this something you're self hosting for fun, or is it some kind of business?
If you're running web services for a business, you should look into existing load test tooling/infrastructure. Some of it can be fully managed, or other solutions might have a degree of setup involved (eg spinning up worker nodes in AWS or whatever). The hard part is designing your load test to match IRL traffic patterns, but once you have that down you can confidently answer questions about service scalability.
A load test is not a DDoS test. Load tests tell you how much legitimate traffic your services can take. DDoS consists of illegitimate traffic which may not correspond to what your web services expect.
Usually you don't test your systems for something like a DDoS. You would instead set up DDoS protection through a CDN (content delivery network) to shield yourself and let someone else handle the logistics of blocking unwanted load. It's a really hard problem to solve.
Depending on what you want to learn, running your own DDoS is unlikely to be very instructive. Most "DDoS as a service" networks are not going to tell their customers how anything works, they just take your bitcoin and send some traffic where you tell them.
I realize that this is a humor post, and not necessarily the right place to provide advice, but never underestimate the power of adding a Q&A meeting to someone else's calendar. Someone doesn't want to make time to explain mystery tool? Well you just made it for them. Usually I try and be polite by asking before I arrange something.
