> The CEO at my last company (2022) refused to use Let's Encrypt because "it looked cheap to customers".

Spoken like a true dinosaur. How can a certificate based on open, public and proven secure protocols be cheap?

> So my question: has anyone actually commented to you in a negative way about using Let's Encrypt?

No, but I personally judge businesses which claim to be tech savvy if they don’t have an ACME issued certificate, because to me that instantly shows I’m not dealing with someone who has kept up with technology for the last 10 years.

Thanks, fixed now. I literally just migrated from GCP to Hetzner over the weekend and was about to finish the migration today :)

That's not what Microsoft's own sponsored benchmarks say:

> unrelated but jesus christ I'm so pissed at west as a russian > So if I sell my appartment in Russia and want to transfer money to Europe now I would need to prove this is not money I pillaged from Ukraine.

Just stay at home then, whats the problem? If you are so pissed with the West then why is it a problem that you cannot come here? Just stay in Russia then.

This works as designed. Sanctions like these are meant to piss off the people living in terrorist states so that you either rise up and rid yourself of all terrorist roots or you accept that the rest of the world doesn’t want to play ball with terrorists or terrorist enablers.

Until you come here and realise that your 300k US job only pays 60k here, of which you get taxed more than a third of it and then your taxes only buy you a 2 year NHS waiting list where by the time you get to see a doctor your tumour has grown to the size of a tennis ball and you’re going to die because you couldn’t get healthcare fast enough.

Oh man... we here in the UK and EU look at the US with envy. Our governments are so inept to even understand basic economics (currently the UK is trying to tax itself to growth), whilst the US government is enabling their own people and US businesses to flourish in emerging markets like AI.

Very cool, reminds me of SigNoz.

How would I self host this in k8s? Would I deploy a ClickHouse cluster using the Altinity operator and then connect it using the HyperDX local mode or what is the recommended approach to self-host ClickStack?

I tried it and found it to be such an abomination. I can’t understand why any self respecting software developer would use Windows with a bastard linux like WSL instead of just using actual Linux. Feels like a massive skill issue.

This is not the first or last time this has happened. Microsoft does it intentionally and when they get caught they then give a fake apology and pretend it was a mistake. These mistakes keep happening and the pattern is always the same, MS teams engaging with a developer to learn all about their business idea and then they steal it:

Huh? Nobody made any statements about bathroom usage or such, nor has the UK ruling anything to do with bathroom access. We are discussing the definition of sex and how the court ruling came to the conclusion .

Ok what you both say makes sense but none of what you said so far negates the fact that strictly speaking sex is binary, defined by the existence of a Y chromosome and that this is also immutable. It’s completely possible that the externalities presented at birth may lead to a wrong sex assignment, but that is a separate issue of human error isn’t it?

Isn't what you described here just a variation of chromosomes? We know there are more than two combinations, but Sex is still determined binary via the existence or absence of the Y chromosome, no?

> biologists and anthropologists recognize that human biological sex is complex

Have you got any credible sources which support this statement? I have only seen papers which confirm that sex is binary and immutable.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that people want to migrate their tweets? Is it just sentimental feelings or what is the purpose of that? To me tweets have always just been in-the-moment brain farts. People have tens of thousands of tweets with the vast majority being just completely irrelevant now and really rather uninteresting. This reminds me of people who keep all their school notebooks in shelves from when they were 5 years old, as if you'd ever go back and look at some scribbles from 50 years ago.

C# has become a poor jack of all trades, trying to be Java, Go and F# at the same time and actually being a shity poor version of all of them. On top of that .NET has become a very enterprisey bloatware. In all honesty, I'm not surprised that they went with Go, as it has a clear identity, a clear use-case which it caters for extremely well and doesn't lose focus with trying to be too many other unrelated things at the same time.

Maybe it's time to stop eating everything that Microsoft sales folks/evangelists spoon feed you and wake up to the fact that only because people paid by Microsoft to roll the drum about Microsoft products telling you that .NET and C# is oh so good and the best in everything, maybe it's not actually that credible?

Look at the hard facts. Every single product which Microsoft has built that actually matters (e.g. all their Azure CNCF stuff, Dapr, now this) is using non Microsoft languages and technologies.

You won't see Blazor being used by Microsoft or the 73rd reinvention of ASP.NET Core MVC Minimal APIs Razor Pages Hocus Pocus WCF XAML Enterprise (TM) for anything mission critical.

Meanwhile .NET developers are still waiting for Microsoft to use their own "inventions" like Blazor, .NET MAUI, Aspire, etc. for anything meaningful. Bless them.
