Snippet: Link to part 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/patientgamers/comments/1vsmgwq/mass_effect_legendary_edition_is_it_as_good_as_i/ Mass Effect 2 - A glorified side quest? Mass Effect 2 is a huge jump in gameplay and graphics. If you start 2 right after finishing 1, it's a pretty big transition. Much bigger than the jump from 2 to 3. 2 and 3 play and look mostly the same, with some minor gameplay changes. 1 and 2 is night and …

Snippet: Our team is planning on moving from Dynamodb to RDS for various workload issues that we are facing with Dynamodb. But we are facing a blocker in this migration since our codebase is heavily dependent on the stream feature of dynamodb where it sends new image and old image for every update. I am trying to replicate the same stream behavior after we migrate to RDS. Right now, i am thinking about using the outbox patter…

Has anyone solved multi-tenant POSIX-respecting NFS access in k8s, or am I missing something obvious?

The two approaches I am comparing are: M5 Pro/Max MacBook Pro with 64 GB unified memory and 2 TB SSD, possibly 128 GB if that is more valuable.

Snippet: What started as a small project turned into a pretty deep dive into Kubernetes, security, infrastructure and AI. KubeGuard can now scan a Kubernetes cluster, inspect resources, collect logs and events, audit security risks and use a locally hosted LLM to help diagnose problems.

Snippet: We're a privacy-first company that prefers to self-host either on RHEL-compatible servers (AlmaLinux, RHEL workstation) or on dedicated Kubernetes clusters within Azure. Access to secrets via programmatic mechanisms (API, CLI) is really helpful.
