Do I need to pay to distribute my free software for Windows?
So, the problem I have is quite complicated... I'm packaging a Ruby application. I'm using Ocra for this. What it does is create a self-extracting compressed file containing the Ruby interpreter, any gems and your scripts. This self-extracting behavior is most likely what sometimes triggers the antivirus. Searching for answers in the Ocra GitHub issues, I found posts saying that it will eventually happen and there's no way to definitively fix it. I don't know of any other simple ways to distribute Ruby applications unfortunately.

Don't abuse su for dropping user privileges (2015)
I assume that is why I see gosu [1] used so often for dropping privileges. It's good to have some explanation as to why su is unsuitable for this.

What is the best approach to log your NodeJs application deployed on K8s?
Use a tool like https://github.com/tianon/gosu to set up signals properly and drop privileges, then just print everything to stdout and it will hit your logs fine. As for the logs themselves, I just view them in my dashboard, which takes essentially no resources. Every other solution I have found takes an insane amount of resources to run (looking at you Elasticsearch).
