Three men were accused of selling firearms to South London gangs. At their 2012 trial in Croydon Crown Court, the prosecution played the jury a recording, taken undercover, of the trio allegedly arranging a sale. But the men’s lawyers claimed that the recording was a fake, and that the police had fabricated it by splicing together clips taken at different times. The hum seeps into microphones and recordings, which is a pain for sound engineers, but surprisingly useful for forensic analysts. 1... (BACK TO TOP)

This is a page about some of the mechanics of ‘big data’, specifically how to store, transfer and process perhaps 100s of millions or billions of rows/events. Although some people think big data starts at 65k rows, at which point Excel used to lose it, I’m talking about gigabytes of data here. Infrastructure for this kind of thing abounds. Data can however come from lots of sources, and go to lots of different places. (BACK TO TOP)

There's a move to regulate cloud providers by vertically separating the services they offer. Like railroads of yore, who were not allowed to provide freight services on top of their base services, cloud providers would not be allowed to provide services on top of their base platform services. Vertical separation would be new to the cloud industry. Is it a good idea? Would it actually solve any problems? My answers are no and no, but probably not for the reasons you think.

The world is developing quickly. Not so long ago, if you had forgotten to bring your wallet to a store, you would have a lot of trouble getting what you came to buy — but these days, we’re all very familiar with the opportunities of mobile payments.

Last week Gabriella Gonzalez wrote What does “isomorphic” mean (in Haskell) , which covers isomorphism from a first-principles perspective.

What’s the secret to coming up with good ideas? For Jeremy Utley, it’s about generating as many as possible. The director of executive education at the Stanford d.school, Utley says, “very few problems we face in business or in life have a single right answer.” All ideas — the good, the bad, and the ugly — are “a necessary input to an innovation process,” and an essential step in getting to solutions that will actually work.

Today, we’re launching a web-based SSH client: Tailscale SSH Console. From the Tailscale admin console, admins will now see a little “SSH…” button to connect to devices running Tailscale SSH . Click this, and you’ll pop open an SSH client, right in your browser. Tailscale SSH Console is now available in beta. To start a Tailscale SSH Console session, click “SSH” on the device, select the username you want to connect as, and reauthenticate. Web-based SSH clients aren’t new. (BACK TO TOP)
If you’re managing and using Tailscale along with several other users, it’s hard to keep track of what changes get made, even with audit logs . For example, another admin might make an update, or an event that you need to react to could occur — such as a node needing authorization . Webhooks are owned by the tailnet, so any webhooks set up by an admin will continue to work even if that admin leaves the company. To set up a webhook, navigate to the webhooks tab of the admin console . (BACK TO TOP)
Automation was the original benefit of DevOps, but GitOps is what enables automation without the downside of poor security, and things breaking in production. As infrastructure, networking and more start getting defined as code, all its inherent artifacts like configuration management, provisioning manifests, runbooks, deployment scripts, and packages become testable as code. Policy as code makes this possible. This is counterproductive. If not, changes are automatically reverted. (BACK TO TOP)
Kubernetes is witnessing wide adoption by organizations across industries. Its deployment capabilities with zero downtime, resilient infrastructure, automatic rollbacks, high scalability, and self-healing features are primarily due to its deployment capabilities. But the one benefit that separates it from others is that it simplifies the complexity of managing containers at scale. Kubernetes achieves this through a powerful concept called nodes. A node, in turn, can run multiple Pods. (BACK TO TOP)
Introduction By default, computer programs are executed sequentially, usually line-by-line. Although this is very efficient, you may need to run multiple processes simultaneously or control the flow and runtime of your programs for numerous reasons. Luckily, Go gives us a way to run various processes concurrently or in parallel. Concurrency comes in handy for speed, process synchronization, and resource utilization. What Is Concurrency? “Concurrency is about dealing with lots of things at once. (BACK TO TOP)
Container orchestration tools automate container management tasks, such as scheduling, scaling, load balancing, and networking . Orchestrators have become the standard way to run containerized workloads in production. They solve many of the challenges of successful container operation by abstracting low-level concepts and providing solutions for common problems. Orchestrators allow you to rapidly deploy containers and scale them across multiple physical hosts.io .k3s.githubusercontent.4.k3s.24. (BACK TO TOP)
