Best Action & Thriller Movies

Here are some latest action and thriller movies that I think very recommended to watch.

Nobody (2021)

A guy who seems like a special agent veteran has to back to his old job that is getting rid of some bandits. In the beginning, we see an ordinary man who runs his boring routines with his family. Until a couple of robbers broke into his house to take some worth in it but accidentally stole his daughter's kitty bracelet. Yeah, just because of the cheap bracelet and getting trouble with drunk guys on the way back home, he has to face bigger trouble. This movie is written by one of John Wick's writers, maybe that's why the main guy seems to be so badass.

Don't Breathe 1 (2016) & 2 (2021)

A war veteran who is blind and lives alone is forced to be a horrific man. Some intruders who broke into his house, make everything change. In 2016, the intruders want his treasure but end up finding something creepy in the basement. In 2021, he has to fight some bad guys who want to take his daughter and don't want to make his daughter know the secret. In this movie, we will understand how war has badly changed a man.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

There are a lot of serious injuries, fatalities, and killings during the mission but how the squad keeps making the best jokes is extraordinary. The squad consists of criminals, enemies of the superheroes, but now they need to work together to be the good villains. Harley Quinn, she looks very beautiful, acts like a careless and unthinking girl but actually very effective and dangerous.

Hunter Killer (2018)

Russian and US submarines are missing. Illegal actions initiated by Russian traitors can lead to a world war. Two special operations are launched to investigate and try to prevent the war. A special force team operates on the land and one submarine led by an experienced captain be on a duty silently from the ocean. The special force members are very tough and fully commits to the mission even though it can cost their lives. The submarine's captain has a very bold character and his instinct is really sharp. The writer has successfully built some strong characters in the movie.

Wind River (2017)

This movie is actually more about mystery and crime. Some cases of missing indigenous American girls took place in a snowy area in the past few years. Someday, the body of a missing girl is found and a woman is sent by the FBI as an investigator from the city. A local white man who works as a hunter is help her in the work. The hunter looks really cold but he is very sharp and sincerely tries to solve the mystery and to help the father of the dead girl who is his friend. A great movie that carries a message sometimes has less publication than less worthy movies.

Configuring Swap Memory on Ubuntu Using Ansible

If we maintain a Linux machine with a low memory capacity while we are required to run an application with high memory consumption, enabling swap memory is an option. Ansible can be utilized as a helper tool to automate the creation of swap memory. A swap file can be allocated in the available storage of the machine. The swap file then can be assigned as a swap memory. Firstly, we should prepare the inventory file. The following snippet is an example, you must provide your own configuration. [server] 192.168.1.2 [server:vars] ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/id_rsa Secondly, we need to prepare the task file that contains not only the tasks but also some variables and connection information. For instance, we set /swapfile as the name of our swap file. We also set the swap memory size to 2GB and the swappiness level to 60. - hosts: server become: true vars: swap_vars: size: 2G swappiness: 60 For simplicity, we only check the...

Deliver SaaS According Twelve-Factor App

If you haven't heard of the twelve-factor app , it gives us a recommendation or a methodology for developing SaaS or web apps structured into twelve items. The recommendation has some connections with microservice architecture and cloud-native environments which become more popular today. We can learn the details on its website . In this post, we will do a quick review of the twelve points. One Codebase Multiple Deployment We should maintain only one codebase for our application even though the application may be deployed into multiple environments like development, staging, and production. Having multiple codebases will lead to any kinds of complicated issues. Explicitly State Dependencies All the dependencies for running our application should be stated in the project itself. Many programming languages have a kind of file that maintains a list of the dependencies like package.json in Node.js. We should also be aware of the dependencies related to the pla...

Rangkaian Sensor Infrared dengan Photo Dioda

Keunggulan photodioda dibandingkan LDR adalah photodioda lebih tidak rentan terhadap noise karena hanya menerima sinar infrared, sedangkan LDR menerima seluruh cahaya yang ada termasuk infrared. Rangkaian yang akan kita gunakan adalah seperti gambar di bawah ini. Pada saat intensitas Infrared yang diterima Photodiode besar maka tahanan Photodiode menjadi kecil, sedangkan jika intensitas Infrared yang diterima Photodiode kecil maka tahanan yang dimiliki photodiode besar. Jika tahanan photodiode kecil maka tegangan V- akan kecil . Misal tahanan photodiode mengecil menjadi 10kOhm. Maka dengan teorema pembagi tegangan: V- = Rrx/(Rrx + R2) x Vcc V- = 10 / (10+10) x Vcc V- = (1/2) x 5 Volt V- = 2.5 Volt Sedangkan jika tahanan photodiode besar maka tegangan V- akan besar (mendekati nilai Vcc). Misal tahanan photodiode menjadi 150kOhm. Maka dengan teorema pembagi tegangan: V- = Rrx/(Rrx + R2) x Vcc V- = 150 / (1...

API Gateway Using KrakenD

The increasing demands of users for high-quality web services create the need to integrate various technologies into our application. This will cause the code base to grow larger, making maintenance more difficult over time. A microservices approach offers a solution, where the application is built by combining multiple smaller services, each with a distinct function. For example, one service handles authentication, another manages business functions, another maintains file uploads, and so on. These services communicate and integrate through a common channel. On the client side, users don't need to understand how the application is built or how it functions internally. They simply send a request to a single endpoint, and processes like authentication, caching, or database querying happen seamlessly. This is where an API gateway is effective. It handles user requests and directs them to the appropriate handler. There are several tools available for building an API gateway, su...

Deploying a Web Server on UpCloud using Terraform Modules

In my earlier post , I shared an example of deploying UpCloud infrastructure using Terraform from scratch. In this post, I want to share how to deploy the infrastructure using available Terraform modules to speed up the set-up process, especially for common use cases like preparing a web server. For instance, our need is to deploy a website with some conditions as follows. The website can be accessed through HTTPS. If the request is HTTP, it will be redirected to HTTPS. There are 2 domains, web1.yourdomain.com and web2.yourdomain.com . But, users should be redirected to "web2" if they are visiting "web1". There are 4 main modules that we need to set up the environment. Private network. It allows the load balancer to connect with the server and pass the traffic. Server. It is used to host the website. Load balancer. It includes backend and frontend configuration. Dynamic certificate. It is requ...

Headless CMS for Building API Endpoints

Recently, someone introduced me to a tool called Directus, which is used for building backend systems and defining data structures. This also reminded me of a product I reviewed about two years ago, which was also built using Directus. After doing some online research, I decided to test another headless CMS solution called Strapi. When we think of CMS platforms, names like WordPress, Joomla, or Moodle might come to mind. But what does 'headless' mean in this context? A headless CMS is a type of CMS that focuses solely on the backend system, without providing the frontend interface. It can generate the API endpoints, letting developers build the frontend or client-side application separately. However, this doesn't mean headless CMS platforms lack a user interface entirely. Most, like Directus and Strapi, include a UI tool (an administrator dashboard) for designing and managing the backend system and resources. After spending some time testing and reviewing Stra...
