I don't think shaking more Magic 8 balls at the same time in order to arrive at consensus will make them more human.

Looks like Elasticsearch releases are tested internally on Docker.
Testing the release on customers infra and post hoc updating release notes is efficient.
Just ask Microsoft who constitutes the beta tester group.
What is a little reputation burn going to do to the brand over time anyway?

Just a spot to drop easily forgotten stuff due to my under use.
Config test:
nginx -t
Server alias names:
Just add the aliases on the server_name line. The first one is the canonical name
(don't forget the semicolon).
In the default (alpha-numerically) config the default_server can be useful.
Processing order for Nginx:

17 January 2024, 19:05 UTCAntiquated web
Google says anybody using current RFC's that they don't care for is using the "antiquated and inconsistent web".
It is probably harder to exert power over a decentralized system like that given their need for dominance.
Such a shame that they are forced to play in the sandbox with others.
A sandbox built by a collaborative effort of many of others.
A sandbox which was designed and built prior to Googles arrival.
I wonder what became of CompuServe?

Were you enjoying the OpenSSL relatively quiet reprieve since Heartbleed?
https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Upcoming+Critical+OpenSSL+Vulnerability+What+will+be+Affected/29192
Probably time to clear your schedule on Monday and Tuesday (or heck just clear the weekend) 10/29/2022 - 11/1/2022
The OpenSSL 3.0.x versions should be updated/patched - OpenSSL 1.1.1 need not apply
Happy fall patching season to you all!
26 October 2022, 20:52 UTCSlow queries after importing an older MySQL dump to MariaDB?
The problem might be a big table (many rows) but 0 Cardinality...
use dbname; show index in tablename; | Table... | Cardinality | | tablename| 0 |
Fix the table(s):
use dbname; ANALYZE TABLE tablename;
Alteratively:
mysqlcheck -a dbname show index in tablename; | Table... | Cardinality | | tablename| 12345 |
