  • Temporal is MIT licensed and comes with multi-tenant security features and its durable execution model is solid and scalability is phenomenal. They upsell to the cloud offering and the default OSS auth plugin is intentionally limited (you might want to develop your own if you self-host). You’d probably only look at the Temporal UI when debugging.

    Windmill is very cool, but it is only suitable for trusted teams due to its security model. If you want to be able to develop scripts and workflows in the web browser and run them together with trusted colleagues, on a schedule etc., then windmill might just be for you!




  • NFSv3 (udp, stateless) was always as reliable as the network infra under Linux, I found. NFSv4 made things a bit more complicated.

    You don’t want any NAT / stateful connection tracking in the network path (anything that could hiccup and forget), and wired connections only for permanent storage mounts, of course.



  • https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/8367/is-the-term-open-source-a-trademark has a discussion about this.

    The short story is that the OSI failed to obtain a legal trademark in the US for the term “open source” (software), resulting in many opportunistic companies and individuals adopting the term popularized by the OSI (which was founded by Eric Raymond, Michael Tiemann and Bruce Perens).

    There was controversy at the time due to it being a business-friendly spin on the ideological “free software”, and I personally avoided using the term for many years as a result. Even without a trademark on the now generic term of Open Source, there is still value in the OSI brand and its stamp of approval on a license.

    Those who want to be crystal clear, should probably always say OSI Approved Open Source License.

    Now, I’m off to have a Nescafé Approved Coffee.






  • Welcome to the world of Carrier Grade NAT. 100.64.0.0/10 is reserved for this.

    If you are lucky, you also have an IPv6 address. The catch is you need IPv6 on the client-side too.

    A VPS or similar running wireguard and a proxy might bridge the gap.

    It might also be possible to ask your provider for some port forwarding. Probably not, but check anyway.

    Good luck!
