@stacksofplates said in how do you deal with SPOF with HAproxy:

Keepalived is most likely what you're looking for. You assign a VIP to your interface and it keeps a heartbeat between the systems. The VIP (floating IP) will move between systems if there is an issue.

Once that's set up, use Serf to update your HAProxy configs or Consul for automatic service discovery which HAProxy can read.

If you're using a cloud provider, I'd just use one of their provided load balancers.

+1 for serf but I can not find any doc about serf as a distributed config (as consul).
I know about serf as a discovery/alive tool only...

Floating ip. But corosync is really an overkill. Vultr has a nice guide on floating ips.

I would bet on python rather than php, according to language stats around the we

Python is more used, but not more used for that use case. Python's major use cases are big ones... automation, scientific, meta, etc. It's use case as an enterprise platform language is big, but not in the PHP, C#, Java, category.

Good point.

I would bet on python rather than php, according to language stats around the web.
But I haven't looked at the latest updates in php so I can be wrong.

Still for.the topic, php + mariadb is ok. Maybe I would use nginx instead of apache.
But this is me crushing my head every time I meet apache

@Laksh1999 personally I would use postgres flask and vuejs
But basically anything from php+mariadb and on is ok.

Being 2019 I would do it web based.

As you said postgres flask,i would like create a database where the product code and product details will be there.The end user should be click on/drop down the list to have the sales of per month/year.I am interested to learn but where to start.This software will be for the windows users

If you want it quick n dirty there are solutions out there.
Drupal wordpress... They have extensions and plugins for a ton of things.

If this is a way to start learning with a project any sql db is ok (but stay away from sql server express)
And probably php+laravel has the smoothest learning curve.

We had discussions on languages in the smb space and php can have a role here.
I already knew python so I've never learned php. But it is quite a thing the smb space!

Bigger projects are usually java/c#/node/go... Not for the beginner.

Which needs to be pointed out... doesn't imply non-local. Hence why the above question didn't make sense. Local and non-local, cloud or not-cloud, web or fat, are three unrelated questions.

Yeah web based is related to the gui not the way you host it!

Unfortunately ansible is a push system. Even pull scripts are workaround which require more time.to be setup than anything else. And often they apply configs at cron intervals....

Always default but I move asap to dark themes.

Same

Don't know about you guys, but most people use dark themes because they strain their eyes with the light themes.
But the problem is not the theme, because you shouldn't get eye strain with a light theme. The real problem is that the monitor is set way too bright. Like a lot. Monitor brightness should be about equal to the ambient light level. Bright monitors make for punchy images but horrible ergonomics.

Light themes are great with "Night light" mode turned on in Windows 10. It reduces the blue light a lot and is less bright.

I use dark themes + night light + min brightness all day long.

Not at night time?

Every hour of the day or my eyes bleed... Well maybe it is not the min brightness but a close value for sure

@scottalanmiller btw be proud: you've met the hottest summer of the history here!

Oh I know. It's been really tough as travelers, because we are just backpacking this time around. So we have been in Naples without any AC, for example. And are about to be staying in Paris without AC. And here in Tuscany the AC is just one room where we don't sleep (well, we are sleeping there now, I am sleeping on the dining room floor to stay cool!)

I think that this is ruining my nieces' impression of Europe. Things that should be fun and pleasant are horrible.

Well no AC is quite tough. I've AC in all of my bedrooms. Basically impossible to sleep without.

I'm sure you could get used to not having it. I mean, people have lived there thousands of years without it before and I'm sure they managed to sleep, lol. Still, like you, I'd rather stay used to the AC.

Could, maybe. But there wasnt this heat even 20 years ago in these places. So these people have not done it. And there wasnt such a densenpopulation using up the water and blocking the wind. So not really the same.

Yeah I remember my summers 20 years ago and it was way more pleasant. Nowdays this is more of an african summer rather than an italian one. And population growth doesn't help!
I clearly remember that max temps of 35C where seldom events. Usually you stayed around 30-32C max
