Turns out my cycling style when on an MTB is quite intense on the rear brakes, so much that after only 130 km of using my new bike, the rear discs were already showing signs of overheating while the front ones were still shiny and with the original silver color.     Why only resize […]

A finales de los años 50 del siglo XX, la entonces denominada “Diputación Provincial de Gipuzkoa” construyó un “Parador de Turismo” en el monte Jaizkibel, en terrenos cedidos por el Ayuntamiento de Hondarribia, según Proyecto del arquitecto provincial José María Muñoz Baroja, de 1958. Todo era parte de un esfuerzo para incentivar la recuperación económica en […]

Hopefully this is useful for more people like me who had an old Bkool Classic in a corner as they couldn’t use it. Last week I purchased a Bkool trainer through Wallapop (Spanish second hand app) and it didn’t get recognised by anything like Zwift or other simulators (even the BKOOL software itself). In the beginning […]

When creating a multi-deployment platform in Kubernetes, you will quickly realise how many LoadBalancer-type Services you deployed. This is usually not a problem with a self-built, self-hosted Cluster, as you manage how things gets created. The problem appears when you use managed Kubernetes solutions like Alibaba Cloud ACK, as it will create an SLB (Server […]

Thanks to being an MVP I became one of the first to test this VDI product called EDS back in February. I was such an early adopter that at the beginning I couldn’t even write a post about this, as I first needed to help Alibaba Cloud’s EDS Product Developer to test several points of the […]

As part of being an Alibaba Cloud MVP, I get to test from time to time new products from this cloud provider for free, which is a really nice thing to have. This greatly helps me with my business, Guztia Consulting, as we specialise in Accelerating Sites in China. In this occasion, thanks to some […]

2020 wasn’t a normal year. Period. Australian fires, Kobe Bryant’s death, COVID-19, a massive monkey brawl in Thailand… But, yes, specially COVID-19.     Covid-19 has brought world’s aviation and tourism industries to their knees, travel restrictions are everywhere and people around the world are in lockdowns. We are in 2021, and still the majority […]

I’ve been working since I was 16 years old, first at a moving company, a couple of junk food joints, a sports shop, an electronics store… then I moved to Australia and enjoyed some roles as web developer and software engineer (shout-out to my employers!).     Overall, turns out I’m (touch wood) quite lucky […]

Esto no pretende ser un post sobre lo que debes o no llevar al monte, esto lo dejo caer por aquí simplemente por compartir mi kit EDC que, bajo mi experiencia, me puede sacar prácticamente de cualquier situación en la que me encuentre cuando voy al monte en cualquier estación del año. Espero os sea […]

All applications starts in the same way, usually with a simple deployment made up of a tiny and organised Docker Container which is built and deployed within minutes. As your business grows, that tiny Docker Container doesn’t rely on a small Image anymore, and the assets built in it, the compiled code and all those […]

The usual problem for companies with some sort of presence in China is the platform speed for their end users located in the Mainland, this stems from the complexities deriving out the views on how the Internet should work according the Chinese authorities. Why is this? For a big part, China’s view of the internet is […]

You load the site… it doesn’t work. You check the console… some weird error. You examine the code… nothing specially wrong. The debugging nightmare begins! This post starts with something “too” common in programming, am I right? Yes, I am :D There is just too many cases where production breaks “just because” and turns out is […]

In the last article I talked about the product called Cloud Firewall, the FaaS (Firewall as a Service) from Alibaba Cloud, a great alternative and a must-go in terms of capabilities, pricing and low maintenance. And that is precisely why I’m not going to talk now about that, smart! This article will focus on one […]

When it comes to protecting machines from malicious network connections there are plenty of options, and depends on which portion of the network request you care about. If our concern is at a network level, like around the layer 3 or 4 of the OSI model, a firewall is the most likely tool that will […]
