Now, I'm not entirely against crypto regulations - some days I'd be delighted to see the entire industry suffer a sudden spontaneous existence failure - but just one part of the infrastructure bill will run to $1 trillion and the regulations are expected to generate $28 billion over ten years.
Give or take five weeks, really. Not a bad article overall:
We have choices. We could use Varnish (scripting! edge side includes! PHK blog posts!). We could use Apache Traffic Server (being the only new team this year to use ATS!). Or we could use NGINX (we're already running it!). The only certainty is that you'll come to hate whichever one you pick. Try them all and pick the one you hate the least.
I was actually planning to do just that - I'm building out a new development lab, and I'm going to deploy a small stack of Intel NUCs for cluster testing. Plan was to use some existing WD Black SSDs and add WD Blues when those ran out.
The WD Blue looks great on Windows-oriented benchmarks, but it's DRAMless. The Samsung 980 is similar, and on the benchmarks on that page it's as much as eight times slower than the WD Black. It's definitely not eight times cheaper.
The problem with the world today is that there are not enough grumpy old bastards saying You're not putting that shit on my servers. Back when I was a very young Pixy they were already a dying breed, and we need to find a new supply somehow.
You'll lose access to Google services by the end of September.
Later but still very old Android devices will continue to work because sometime around Android 4 they added a modular update architecture, but the very early versions can't be fixed any more.
