I would just have Postgres running statically on some solid hardware. It’s easy to configure permissions and connections, too.

Not too hard to set up streaming replication for a hot standby if you wanna be sure (or offload some reads).

Had to get some metrics out of an old Cisco box that weren’t available through SNMP, and the only solution I could come up with was to periodically SSH some commands and regex the results.

That required way too much shell-foo and the SSH daemon would just randomly refuse/drop connections.

If only there was some kind of standard metric API that every other modern software supports out of the box…

Postman is literally the only GUI I use for development, except for a browser I guess. Everything else is in terminals/WSL2 at work

Cisco and Juniper CLIs are terrible imo… Why won’t they just use a proper modern set of tools instead of their own proprietary shit that doesn’t interface with anything else?

Woah Usenet was used for other stuff than 1Gbps piracy?
