If TCP is reliable, why does UDP even exist ?

Oh !! enough why’s (majority ones not mentioned here) to write a series of blogs instead of copy pasting the OSI model diagram

we need "ghar ghar AI yojna"
USA has Claude USA has ChatGPT USA has Gemini USA has Grok China has Qwen China has DeepSeek China has Kimi China has MiniMax India has?

As a noob DevOps/SRE, don’t jump straight into kubernetes and maybe spend some time with networking first - Internet - WAN / MAN / LAN - ISPs - Packets - Latency - Bandwidth - Jitter - Routers / switches / hubs - Data centers - EC2 - SSH - Traceroute - Hops

- create an EC2 server - SSH into it - run traceroute - watch the hops - ask random questions to google or AI to make your understanding better

Anyway, back to work. Diving deep into networking today
Hypothesis: Debugging infra outages with AI every time might slowly make you a weaker engineer. You won’t notice it in a week or a month. But one day, when AI is unavailable or wrong, you may feel strangely paralysed debugging something you could’ve reasoned through earlier.

Did they reset it a few hours ago ?

The Codex usage limits have been reset for all paid ChatGPT subscriptions. You should be back to 100% weekly and 100% hourly limits. Let the tokens do incredible things today and have fun.

"Databases do not scale easily - know your limits Anon" - Arpit
We all build horizontally scalable systems, but scaling is not as simple as saying "just add more machines" or "I will configure an autoscaling group". The challenge comes when we design systems that continue to behave predictably as traffic and load increase. Here are some common things you will run into and the pointers that will help you when you are building systems that scale horizontally: 1. Cache everything that can tolerate stale reads 2. Handle noisy neighbors with CPU/memory limits 3. Keep services stateless - scaling becomes easy 4. Databases do not scale easily - know your limits 5. Know your data access patterns before partitioning 6. Queue asynchronous work to absorb traffic spikes 7. Design for failure - retries, timeouts, fallbacks 8. Eliminate single points of failure 9. Make operations idempotent - handle retries safely 10. Understand consistency tradeoffs early 11. Invest in observability - metrics, logs, and tracing 12. Avoid distributed transactions where possible 13. Rate limit critical services and APIs 14. Scale reads and writes differently 15. Capacity planning still matters despite autoscaling By no means is this exhaustive, but these are some of the most common considerations that tend to surface as systems grow. Hope this helps.

next one hour is all about IPs and subnetting playground

Logged into X saw countless tweets of bros absolutely cooking things 🔥🔥 Need to lock in harder
just submitted rpc-stats to @colosseum Frontier. the idea is simple: every RPC provider claims they're the best at landing transactions. none of them can prove it. so we built a system that tests helius, triton, and alchemy every 30 seconds. on-chain verified via geyser. live public leaderboard. no marketing. just data. built with @Subhdotsol 🤝

Finally on track. So much to learn, so little time

Bruh, Why do we need observability ??? we don’t. Just have humble customers who’ll call you every time your app breaks, debug production for free, and even tell you which API is down 💀

AWS outages don’t just disrupt systems :) they ruin your entire day
