(This assumes zero access to those objects during their lifecycle; it doesn't factor the substantially higher cost per-request and per-GB to access the data. That depends on your access patterns.).

Digging into AWS S3's new Glacier Instant Retrieval storage class pricing. Total cost of uploading (many) small objects, transitioning to Standard-IA or Glacier-IR, then expiring/deleting after 6 months. Standard ends up cheaper than either of those for objects under 200 KiB.

For the record:.“I have [deleted] 4.1 petabytes. This much data would need 10,088.7 km (or 6,268.8 miles) of shelving.”.Thanks @alexwlchan 👌🏼 and @madpilot for the reminder .

Someone made a cool “how much shelf space does X bytes in 3½-inch floppy disks use?” calculator site, but I can't find it now. Anyone remember, or better at searching than me?.

RT @buildkite: We're hiring a VP of Engineering. Come work with us and make tools developers around the world love to use 💚 .

Thank you to the amazing @JuanitoFatas for the unexpected iCE40HX4K-TQ144 FPGA hook-up 🙏🏼.

Chip shortage! I spent many hours designing this hobby 6502 computer, boards are currently being fabricated, but the FPGA is now unobtainable until sometime next year 😫 I wonder what device I can buy that has an iCE40HX4K-TQ144 in it for salvage 🤔

👋🏼 Has anybody used as their company comms/collaboration tool (i.e. instead of Slack, Basecamp etc)? What did you like about it? What wasn't good? What size was the company? 🙏🏼.

And come work with me at @buildkite too! There's some fascinating Rails/PostgreSQL/AWS Site Reliability Engineering to be done. I'd apply if I wasn't already there 🙃.

✨ We're hiring at @buildkite — several new roles, including Ruby/Rails and Go engineering.

macOS 11.0.1 Big Sur / Safari 14.0.1 — anybody else having trouble with ctrl+cmd+space emoji input in Safari? It seems to periodically stop working (picker doesn't appear). Continues to work in other apps 🤔.

RT @drnic: Ready to learn a new CI/CD system that will rock your socks? I've written an ultimate guide to getting started with @buildkite i….

Keyboard stopped working on my Arch Linux ThinkPad with latest kernel. Mouse/touchpad not working on my FreeBSD ThinkPad. At this point if Apple makes a 13” or 14” computer with a proper keyboard I’ll buy it and go back to macOS.

Huge thanks to @aemeredith & co for the most excellent bread-making 👌🏼

RT @buildkite: New on the changelog: Amazon EventBridge Partner Integration

Here's a dumb but handy !InlineFile YAML tag/function resolver thing for inlining Lambda code into CloudFormation:./cc @keith_duncan.

RT @buildkite: Welcome Paul (@pda) to the Buildkite team!

I’m thrilled to be joining the @buildkite team next month. Great people, great company, great product. 🎉.

TIL the ephemeral storage for AWS Fargate (e.g. a production service spooling user data to /tmp in a container) uses unencrypted EBS volumes. Not encrypted at rest 😬 Surprising, given EBS trivially supports encryption.

Do I know anybody registered for AWS Summit Sydney but not going? My team could use a spare reg or two 🙏🏼.
