Good Karma Kit
The Good Karma Kit is “a Docker Compose project to run on servers with spare CPU, disk, and bandwidth.” I like the idea in principle, but it is always a complex thing to do, because if you host unknown content, you can get in trouble easily (like pirated content or worst…)

Sono convinto che parlare delle prodezze dell’attuale presidente degli Stati Uniti possa solo amplificare la pubblicitá delle sue idee strampalate. Restano sul tappeto i fatti peró, e su questi un pó di riflessioni vanno fatte.
In questi ultimi cinque giorni, abbiamo assisito al balletto dazi si, dazi sospesi, dazi forse.
Ho iniziato a scrivere questo articolo un mese fa, cercando di raccogliere mentalmente l’enorme elenco di iniziative strampalate portate avanti da Trump. Non è bastato attendere, per sperare che la polvere delle sue azioni si depositasse! Proviamo a fare qualche riflessione in ogni caso, perché i fatti hanno tale portata da non poter essere ignorati.

We already discussed about Queue management solutions in the past, and I am always happy to write about it. Queue managers are not easy to implement, and there is a reson if IBM MQ Series is still a successful product. Some month ago, a big bank customer asked me to provide a small queue implementation to increase asynchronous internal processing of our payment solution.
The project had very strong contraints: I could not use existing queue system because they were not yet available, and I need to be able to provide microservice parallelism in a cloud-environent.
I have very little time to provide a solid solution, and re-inventing the wheel was not an option. Performance was important, but we plan to have a managable numbers of transactions per seconds, far behind modern cloud database capacity.
Challenge accepted.
