The bolt makes the shot. I was watching some storms (very active with lightning) move towards the backyard canyons yesterday. I shot this handheld by just keeping the camera held to my eye and shooting when I saw lightning (1/140s exposure). That actually does work sometimes, but it better be an active storm! - Harding County, New Mexico, USA #NewMexico #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #scenicsnature #outdoors #lightning #storm #thunderstorm #canyon #cloud #clouds #Fujifilm #FujifilmXT5 #Tamron

🔐 A VPN can improve your privacy, or just give you a false sense of it. The EFF’s guide is a solid reminder that choosing a VPN is less about speed or price, and more about who runs it, what they log, and whether they actually deliver the protection they claim.

TL;DR
🧠 VPNs don’t guarantee anonymity
📜 “No logs” claims often lack proof
👤 Your threat model shapes your VPN needs
🔎 Look into ownership and reputation

ssd.eff.orgChoosing the VPN That's Right for YouVPN stands for “Virtual Private Network.” When you connect to a VPN, all data that you send (such as the requests to servers when browsing the web) appears to originate from the VPN itself, rather than your internet service provider (ISP). This masks your IP address, which can be an...

The new Kubernetes mount-an-OCI-artifact feature got me thinking about backups, layers, data locality, and deduplication via CAS.

Imagine using image layers as snapshots and pushing images as your application's data backup. Then by specifying latest* for the volume mount it would automatically come up with eagerly-cached, local data.

I don't think CAS helps our case for storage here as a layer-snapshot mapping isn't granular enough. Of course it's not like you'd want to redesign your Postgres paging configuration entirely around a better mapping to image layers but there's something there...

Registry-side you could do periodic compaction, archival, export etc.

OCI image layers are already limited though last time I checked. Nix maps derivations (think packages) to layers and neither OCI nor the tooling were designed for that kind of blowout. Could be tackled though.

*yes yes, anti pattern. Hold ur underwear a moment.
