💡 Engineering/SSH Pro-Tip: If you create an SSH key, use the Ed25519 algorithm rather than the RSA one. This is the recommended algorithm for SSH keys nowadays. If you still use RSA, be sure to be >= 4096-bit length Details in this thread ⬇️ #Security #SSH

The tl;dr is "Yes, somehow, but this might be the best balance between security, usability, and mass adoption." However, there is more to it ... I published their full answer in a blog post: andygrunwald.com/blog/why-does-… 2/2

Why does storing two-factor authentication codes in your password manager make sense? Doesn't this invalidate the 2nd factor if the attacker gains access to your password manager? This is the question I asked Security folks like Antti Kurittu and @myrcurial. A thread 🧵 - 1/2

@TweetsOfSumit Why limit yourself for your body/back/health to 500€? I can't recommend the "HÅG CAPISCO 8106" enough. It forces you to sit correctly, and if you need it, you can use it as a stool or your standing desk—Pricy, but 100% worth it.

Best desk chair for under €500?

@mashd Thanks Matt! Much appreciated.

Hey, what is the best resource to get into Fuzzing? Mostly around using it, writing fuzz functions, for PHP, Python and Go.

@janvanthoor @EngKiosk Was sagst zu dem hier? Zwei Bergsteiger klettern einem Berg der eine sagt grüß Gott der andere sagt so hoch wollte ich gar nicht steigen 🧗

Ferrata klettern und @EngKiosk hören. Paar @andygrunwald Witze waren so schlecht ich musste mich fast in den Abgrund stürzen….

@schafele @EngKiosk Oidaaa

@andygrunwald @EngKiosk Man merkt du hast keine Ahnung, "Bussi" is viel zu nett .... aber wir haben da Lernvideos, sogar auf English für unsere international Frrrriends youtube.com/watch?v=bEkUqR…

Vorgestern hatten wir einen großen Win! Unser Engineering Kiosk Podcast war in den (Apple) Charts! Platz 5 in Österreich 🇦🇹 Vielen Dank an die Leut in #Österreich 🇦🇹 fürs Hören! 🎉 Wie sagt man so schön in Wien? Bussi geht raus 😘

@schafele @EngKiosk Sagt man das nicht so ? 😀 Wenn ich nach „Bussi“ und „Wien“ suche find ich ne ganze Menge - Irgendwas muss da dran sein

@EngKiosk "Bussi geht raus" ... woher hast du denn das @andygrunwald ?

@dr @aiven_io has a free tier as well.

If you've moved a database off PlanetScale in the last few weeks, where did you end up hosting it? My current ideas (it's a small DB): • Digital Ocean $15/m (mid) • Railway ??/m (would be cheap to start) • Upcloud $30/m (yikes) Only one week left to migrate!

@jkowall Only one answer: eBPF 😉

@andygrunwald Yeah that's just what we need. Figure out how to debug and observe that...

K8s is not a solution for scale. It’s a solution for resource utilization. Your backend scaling problems will be waiting for you also in containers. Wisdom from @JohnMousa_ at the @WebEngDUS

In the GitHub repository github.com/andygrunwald/y…, I prepared many examples for different databases in different programming languages. If you want to gain more information on Why this is useful, check out my blog post about this topic: andygrunwald.com/blog/your-data… 9/9

This type of connection name can be done in many languages, like - Python - Go - .NET - C# - PHP for many different databases like - Oracle - MSSQL - Redis - MongoDB - and more 8/9

Your database connection deserves a name ... In my last twelve years, working mainly on scalability and reliability, I have been involved in many outages where overloaded databases were the root cause. Debugging these incidents is often not straightforward, A thread 🧵 1/9
