We're glad to share with you the latest projects we've been working on recently!

ℹ️ Our YouTube channel:
We have never been active on Youtube before, but we're now experimenting with a concept of a weekly short video series that we called "5 Minutes FAUN". We're trying to share as much useful information as possible in a short video. The idea is to be efficient and to the point in each video.

So far, we published around 20 short videos. You can find them here .

These are some series we started so far, more are coming soon:
👉 5 Minutes Golang
👉 5 Minutes Python
👉 5 Minutes DevOps
👉 5 Minutes CloudNative
👉 5 Minutes AI
👉 5 Minutes Kubernetes
👉 5 Minutes Programming
👉 5 Minutes AWS

In less than 2 weeks, we've got:
⭐ 30,000 views
⭐ 500 watch hours
⭐ 200 new subscribers

Some of the most popular videos are:
🔗 Why is Kubernetes Written in Go ?!
🔗 The Real Reason why Go is not so Popular
🔗 Highest Paying Programming Languages
🔗 YAML = Your Abstraction Master Language
🔗 and others!

That's a great start! We're looking forward to growing our Youtube channel and sharing more useful information with you.

Please subscribe to the channel . If there are any topics you'd like us to cover, simply reply to this email or leave a comment on the Youtube channel. We'll do our best to cover them in future videos.


ℹ️ Our Youtube live music stream:
We're also experimenting with a new concept of a live music stream. This month, we launched a new Lo-Fi music live stream on Youtube . Many people listen to this genre of music while coding, so we thought it would be a good idea to create a live stream for our developer community. We're adding new songs to the stream every week.

You can find the stream here .

Are there other music genres you'd like us to stream? Let us know by replying to this tweet .

We're looking forward to growing this stream and sharing more music with you. Please subscribe to the channel. If there are any topics you'd like us to cover, simply reply to this email or leave a comment on the Youtube channel. We'll do our best to cover them in future videos.


ℹ️ FAUN community subreddits:
In addition to the old subreddit /r/DevOpsLinks, we launched multiple others. These subreddits are a place for FAUNers who are also Redditors to share links and start discussions. This is the complete list of the subreddits we have today:

👉 DevOps : /r/DevOpsLinks
👉 CloudNative : /r/CloudNativeLinks
👉 DevSecOps : /r/DevSecOpsLinks
👉 Golang : /r/GolangLinks
👉 Monitoring/Observability : /r/MonitoringLinks
👉 Programming : /r/ProgrammingLinks
👉 Python : /r/PythonLinks
👉 AI/ML : /r/AILinks
👉 Kubernetes : /r/KubernetesLinks

Don't forget to join your favorite subreddits! Let's make them a place to share and discuss the latest news and trends in the DevOps, CloudNative, DevSecOps, Golang, Monitoring, Programming, Python, AI, and Kubernetes ecosystems.

More subreddits are coming soon!

ℹ️ Our coming soon FAUN Topics (Weekly Newsletter):
As you may know, we're working on new weekly FAUN Topics:

👉 Kala: AI Weekly Newsletter.
👉 Secra: Security Weekly Newsletter.

If you'd like to subscribe to these newsletters, head over to FAUN website, click on the top menu, then " Newsletters settings ". You can subscribe to any newsletter you like. You can also unsubscribe from any newsletter you no longer want to receive using the same page.

MIT researchers have developed a way to effectively scale an analog optical neural network, which could enable a super-fast, energy-efficient neural network that can function with the same accuracy as a digital one.

An optical neural network is composed of many connected components that function like reprogrammable, tunable mirrors called Mach-Zehnder Interferometers (MZI). However, errors that can occur in each MZI quickly accumulate as light moves from one device to the next.

The team developed a new type of MZI by adding an additional beam splitter to the end of the device, which makes it much easier for an MZI to reach the setting it needs to send all light from out through its bottom port.

The article describes the experience of the author and their co-admin in scaling their Mastodon instance, chaos.social, in response to increased usage following a tweet from Elon Musk about buying Twitter. The article details the various steps they took to scale their setup, including adding additional servers and migrating the database to a separate server.

It is important to remember that ChatGPT is still just a language model and should be treated with caution as it can generate nonsensical responses and refer to non-existent studies.

In the field of cybersecurity, ChatGPT can be used in various ways such as malware creation, analysis, vulnerability search, and security consulting. For example, it can be used by novice cybercriminals to create new Trojans and by InfoSec analysts to quickly explain what a piece of code does.

Additionally, ChatGPT can be used to generate convincing texts that can be used in spear-phishing attacks, which can increase the number of successful phishing attempts.

To combat these issues, content analysis experts are actively developing tools that detect chatbot texts. However, it is recommended to be vigilant and aware of the potential dangers of ChatGPT, as well as to learn how to spot bot-generated texts by looking for stylistic quirks and incongruities.

According to the author, Functional Programming (FP) has become increasingly popular but it doesn't solve all problems. FP can be hard to understand and it's not true that functional programs don't have any side effects. FP helps write more reliable code but only if done right.

It's possible to write functional programs that have concurrency errors. FP doesn't handle concurrent scenarios for you, it just gives you tools to make decisions about handling side effects. Teams shouldn't lean on technology, thinking it will handle everything, because it will only do what it's told to do.

This post talks about the debate of different types of testing (unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests) and how the author only follows one kind of test.

The principles the author follows are: writing tests after a clear public interface is defined, emulating user behavior, not testing internal functions or state, focusing on coverage of use-cases, and breaking the rules if needed.

The tests should not include remote network calls or mocking internal code paths. The test should pass consistently with no network or internet connection and no state carried across different tests.

The web dev ecosystem becomes more and more advanced. While appreciating some technologies in general, because they are applicable in some situations, they can be absolutely overkill for solo developers, which develop not huge enterprise applications but rather small to middle apps.

Which technologies come to your mind? Docker, kubernetes, static typed languages?

This video is a guide on choosing the best operating system for setting up a home server.It explains why some people choose to own their data instead of using cloud storage services like Dropbox or Google Drive. It also goes over some popular operating system choices such as Linux, Ubuntu Server, TrueNAS CORE, Windows Server and OpenMediaVault.
