Understanding Linux and choosing your first Linux distro, v2.0
  • If you

    understand what it is you're replacing, what you're replacing it with, and how to use the replacement

    then you, almost by definition, are an advanced user.

    A beginner should avoid these things, once you are far enough along to understand why you might want to replace one of these things, and form your own opinion on it, then go right ahead. But you're no longer a beginner at that point.

  • YNAB price increase

    Just received an email that the cost of YNAB is increasing (again) to $109/yr effective August 1 for new sign-ups and September 1st for renewals.

    Definitely has me checking alternative options again as I don't feel like there have been enough improvements since the last price increase to justify another one already.

    Cloudflare is bad. Youre right.
  • I'd certainly be interested in full details. This sounds like the best of all worlds of not needing to double reverse proxy, not hardcoding internal IPs in the config of a single reverse proxy on the VPS, and not losing the source IP.

  • Cloudflare is bad. Youre right.
  • Does this cause all traffic at the reverse proxy to appear to come from the source IP of your VPS or does it preserve the original source IP?

    I've been working on setting up a similar setup myself and am trying to figure out specifically how to handle the forwarding on the VPS.

  • You're not wrong, but you are leaving out some convenient parts of the experience. Yes, before, you could call a cab company and they would come pick you up and take you somewhere. But, you didn't know how long it would take for your driver to pick you up. had no idea how much the ride would cost you, and there was a pretty good chance the driver wouldn't accept a credit card for payment whether it was company policy to or not.

    When illegal cab companies came along, they forced competition by giving you realtime information on where your driver was and how long until they would pick you up, price estimates before your ride begins, and a guaranteed method of payment that isn't cash. Cab companies had to modernize with mobile apps, lower their prices to stay competitive, and improve the overall customer experience.

    For as badly as the drivers are treated by the companies, the services were successful because the existing experience with established cab companies sucked.

  • The Linux kernel has been accidentally hardcoded to a maximum of 8 cores for nearly 20 years
    thehftguy.com The Linux kernel has been accidentally hardcoded to a maximum of 8 cores for the past 15 years and nobody noticed

    A bit of history I’ve been diving into the Linux kernel scheduler recently. To give a short brief introduction to scheduling, imagine a single CPU single core system. The operating system all…

    The Linux kernel has been accidentally hardcoded to a maximum of 8 cores for the past 15 years and nobody noticed

    I'm not smart enough to verify the accuracy of this claim, nor exactly what the implications are, but it seems like it might improve performance if fixed.
