Humans know to drive more carefully in low visibility, and/or to take actions to improve visibility. Muskboxes don’t.

By this logic, we should still be using copper phone lines, analog TV, and 3G should never get switched off. Obviously there are always budget constraints but technological progress does not wait for shitty vendors.

I work mainly in cloud and Kubernetes environments where this stuff is already automated. New vendors are often just deploying new containers into a cluster.

Yeah Twitter is still designated as a large online platform under the DSA.

Dodging the DMA only has implications for Twitter advertising and federation, I think.

Basically, Twitter is not seen as a monopoly on the microblogging market, but it is still a very large communication platform that must pay special attention to moderation practices.

I imagine the brunt of Twitter’s argument here is that they have strong competition from Bluesky and Threads, so are not seen as a gatekeeper in the market for microblogging advertising.

True.

cert-manager is an amazing tool for deploying certificates for containerized applications. There’s no standardized way to deploy those certs outside of containers without scripting it yourself though, unfortunately.

They should be automated too.

The fact that I can’t use terraform to automatically deploy certs to network appliances is a problem.

Fediseer chooses instances INTENTIONALLY

which is why im saying use fediseer so they dont have to hand pick 5 instances

Then why don’t they accept any instance? Fediseer has an api where they can see the most reputable instances and limit to only allowing those reputable instances.

They should use fediseer to accept the top 100 most reputable mastodons

SSDs last longer than hard drives in most situations.

What do you mean poor speeds under load?

64TB ssds are fairly common in the enterprise market now, I don’t think they were 6 years ago. It’s possible we’ll see 128TB SSDs become fairly common on servers in a few years.

It’s looking like 2029 will be the turning point. Right now, we are on the verge of having 16tb m.2s on the market, and by 2029 SSDs will be around $10-15/TB like HDDs are now.

In 2029, if semiconductor trends continue, it is likely that we will have 16TB SSDs for ~$200 and 32TB SSDs for ~$500; Cheaper than the $320 we’re paying for 20TB HDDs right now.

The HDD industry doesn’t seem like it will improve at the same rate. It is likely that the SSD market will have better $/TB than the HDD market in 2029, unless hard drives make some massive breakthrough before then. The survival of the HDD industry past the next 5 years is basically riding on Seagate’s ability to successfully release HAMR technology.

Sometes the prices go up, but they steadily go down over time.

This chart is really good for seeing storage prices

a petabye of ssds is probably cheaper than a petabye of hdds when you account for rack costs, electricity costs, and maintenance.

Hard drive density has stagnated. There haven’t been any major technology breakthroughs since 750GB PMR drives came out in 2006. Most of the capacity improvements since then have come from minor materials improvements and stacking increasing amounts of platters per drive, which has reached its limit. The best drives we have, 24tb, have 10 platters, when drives in the 2000’s only had 1-4 platters.

Meanwhile, semiconductors have been releasing new manufacturing processes every few years and haven’t stopped.

Moore’s Law somewhat held for hard drives up until 2010, but since then it has only been growing at a quarter of the rate.

Right now there are only 24TB HDDs, with 28TB enterprise options available with SMR. The big breakthrough maybe coming next year is HAMR, which would allow for 30tb drives. Meanwhile, 60TB 2.5"/e3.s SSDs are now pretty common in the enterprise space, with some niche 100TB ssds also available in that form factor.

I think if HAMR doesn’t catch on fast enough, SSDs will start to outcompete HDDs on price per terabyte. We will likely see 16TB M.2 Ssds very soon. Street prices for m.2 drives are currently $45/TB compared to $14/TB for HDDs. Only a 3:1 advantage, or less than 4 years in Moore’s Law terms.

Many enterprise customers have already switched over to SSDs after considering speed, density, and power, so if HDDs don’t keep up on price, there won’t be any reason to choose them over SSDs.

Openshift is also a good competitor product if you’re interested in containers.
