    Ephemerality

    Chainguard -The Principle of Ephemerality via Carlos Santana Get on with ephemerality; it's 2022. We had no choice but to build it ourselves before then. Nowadays, chaos engineering is an option. We use serverless and stateless technologies all the time. Virtual machines aren't even on our radar. Maintaining stateful systems is difficult. Make sure you have backups and failovers. To ensure that we have evidence of malicious software, you can test your code regularly. The COVID test provides a means of ensuring that historical evidence is reviewed over time. Combining and shortening an app's lifespan makes it more likely for an attacker to fail.

    Alan's Updates April 10th 2022

    Every week, I'll be posting one episode. I stopped in the past because I didn't have enough content to create a podcast with what I wanted to talk about. The podcast will help me improve my writing and voice. Hopefully, the content will be good as well. Improving my writing and sounding. Feel like I'm at 95% of what I used to be. Alan's education schedule from morning to night. I'm happy that normal people can't even tell I had any issues. Speechify is a tool that helps me read a hard text and speech it quickly. Summarizing writing. Preply is a helpful tool for tutors of English Recording sounds to type words for Asphia apps. Went back to part-time work for learning again.
