What's up nerds, I'm Jared and

0:09

this is changelog news for the

0:11

week of Monday, February 12th, Let's

0:15

get straight into the news. I

0:18

wanted to announce our fresh changelog

0:20

beats on last week's episode, but

0:23

Apple Music didn't approve it until I'd already

0:25

hit publish. I guess that's

0:27

just life in the walled garden.

0:30

Oh well, introducing Dance Party. Sweet

0:32

robot dance make out music. This

0:34

album bundles 21 BMC bangers. Amazing

0:38

tracks such as Tetris Shmetris.

0:57

Miami Bites 1984. Whole

1:14

reposition. And

1:31

Paul Oakenfold fights Moby in the

1:33

alley behind a Pan Asian restaurant.

1:50

Listen now on Spotify, Apple

1:52

Music, Amazon Music, YouTube

1:55

Music, all the music's. Of

1:57

course there's a direct link to the goodness

1:59

in this. week's newsletter and

2:01

in the chapter data. Go ahead, get your groove

2:03

on. Enjoy the drop. Will

2:06

McGougin from Textualize has a new

2:09

terminal app called Too Long or

2:11

TL. That's too long for you.

2:14

This tool lets you view, tail, merge,

2:16

and search log files in a snappy,

2:18

straightforward to use way. Here's why he

2:20

made it. Quote, I spent a lot

2:23

of time in my past life as

2:25

a web developer working with logs, typically

2:27

on web servers via SSH. I would

2:30

use a variety of tools, but my

2:32

go-to method of analyzing logs was directly

2:34

on the server with Unix tools like

2:37

tail, less, and grep, etc. As

2:39

useful as these tools are, they are

2:41

not without friction. I built Too Long

2:43

to be the tool I would have

2:45

wanted back then. End quote. I'm somewhat

2:48

ashamed to admit I still use those

2:50

tools and have been for too long.

2:52

Maybe I should give Too Long a

2:54

try instead. Diane Brady

2:56

writes for Fortune, quote, Mozilla

2:58

Corp announced that Mitchell Baker

3:00

is stepping down as CEO

3:02

to focus on AI and

3:05

Internet safety as chair of

3:07

the nonprofit foundation. Laura

3:09

Chambers, a Mozilla board member

3:11

and entrepreneur with experience at

3:13

Airbnb, PayPal, and eBay will

3:15

step in as interim CEO

3:17

to run operations until a

3:20

permanent replacement is found. End

3:22

quote. The short term plan, according

3:24

to Chambers, who has an open

3:26

invitation to the change log, is,

3:28

quote, to focus on

3:30

building out new products that

3:33

address growing privacy concerns while

3:35

actively looking for a full-time

3:37

CEO. End quote. Hmm,

3:39

new products, AI

3:41

tools, what next? Mozilla

3:44

Vision Pro? You did not just say

3:46

that. Here's where I'd focus if I were

3:48

Mozilla CEO, making Firefox so

3:50

good it does to Chrome

3:53

what it did to Internet Explorer not so long

3:55

ago. It's now

3:57

time for sponsored news. Are

4:01

you using Kafka in production

4:03

and looking for something significantly

4:05

simpler yet more cost effective

4:07

that can easily extend to

4:10

the edge? NAS is becoming

4:12

the go-to alternative that satisfies

4:14

Kafka's use cases but does

4:16

much more than just streaming.

4:18

Stateless messaging, request-reply, key-value storage,

4:20

object storage, yes, NAS does

4:23

that. Synadia is helping

4:25

teams get beyond the assumption that Kafka

4:27

is the default by showing how NAS

4:29

can take their applications to the next

4:31

level. Learn more and try

Jordy Adume writes, which

5:12

is how I know it clocks in at about 75 lines

5:15

of PowerShell and is in no

5:17

way a fork or a port

5:19

of Linux's sudo. It's just a

5:21

re-implementation of the concept for Windows.

5:25

Before you know it, they'll be

5:27

ditching those trashy backslashes. And

5:47

they'll adopt the simple slash in their

5:49

file system. I can't wait. Talk to

5:52

Ilanin, apologies on that pronunciation, the author

5:55

of the original SSH tells the tale

5:57

of how they got to the end.

5:59

got SSH to be port number 22.

6:03

Quote, I wrote the initial version of

6:05

SSH, Secure Shell, in spring of 1995.

6:09

It was a time when Telnet and

6:11

FTP were widely used. I

6:13

designed SSH to replace both Telnet, port 23,

6:15

and FTP, port 21. Port

6:20

22 was free. It was conveniently

6:22

between the ports for Telnet and FTP.

6:24

I figured having that port number might be

6:26

one of those small things that would give

6:29

some aura of credibility, but how could I

6:31

get that port number? End quote. The

6:34

internet was much smaller back then,

6:36

so the process was straightforward but

6:38

still intimidating. It boils down to

6:41

a well-worded email to the IANA.

6:43

The email itself is included verbatim

6:45

in the linked post. And

6:48

voila, port 22 became

6:50

SSHs, and the rest is history. Jack

6:53

Lindemud wrote up what he

6:55

calls, almost every infrastructure decision

6:57

I endorse or regret after

6:59

four years running an infrastructure

7:01

at a startup. In

7:03

this 20 minute read, Jack gives

7:05

an endorse or a regret rating

7:08

to about 50 different

7:10

services, tools, and processes. Here's

7:13

a sampler platter. Endorse

7:15

get ops. Regret. Multiple

7:18

applications sharing a database. Endorse.

7:22

Endorse. Slack. Regret.

7:25

Datadog. Regret. Not

7:27

using OpenTelemetry earlier. And

7:30

as a special treat for our

7:32

ChangeLog++ members today, you also get

7:34

the full meal. Yes, I read

7:36

all 50 ratings for everyone who

7:38

directly supports our work with their

7:40

hard-earned cash. Whew, that

7:42

was exhausting. Treat yourself

7:44

at changelog.com slash plus

7:47

plus. ChangeLog++. It's

7:49

better. That is the

7:51

news for now. We do hope you

7:53

enjoy our new dance party album. Queue it up

7:55

for your next coding session and let us know

7:58

what you think. We have some more. The
