How many people are in these calls? Axios say they have three sources for it.

Didn’t read the article, but that’s why I abandoned it.

As a tinkerer, I have tried Portainer a couple of times, and another similar thing, but I end up never looking at them, and revert to just jumping into the command line. A bonus of this approach is keeping a copy of all my compose files in a repo.

If OP is being drawn to this because they want to know everything’s running, what they’re really looking for is monitoring - probably Uptime Kuma.

They’re over the moon about it.

Compulsory moon colony for billionaires would be great thanks.

Lots of articles about how it’s a new distance record (by about 1.5%) , but none saying why. Are they just going past the moon at a bigger distance from the moon, or is it that the moon is at a further away part of it’s orbit? I need detailed explanations.

Imagine having a leader/administration who could write a coherent letter.

Plus one for Kavita. Only slight bump is that it wants books to be in series because it’s quite manga focused.

Yes. Find something you enjoy that depends on knots. Perhaps a shibari friend.

Coming soon to self-driving cars: Grandad comes to visit from Kansas, but he’s been dead for five hours.

Forgejo + Tailscale. Forgejo is the app behind Codeberg so it’s battle tested. I switched to it from Gitea after the controversy.

The people in that building at the back looking out their window: “Well this looks le fucking stupid”

Yep - I feel that, especially after the branded hard disk carry on last year.

I’m a +1 on this. A secondhand Synology set up with some RAID will delay this decision for a few years and give you time to build your expertise on the other aspects without worrying much about data security. It’s a pity that you’re nearly at the limit of 8TB - otherwise I would have suggested a two bay NAS with 2x8TB, but if you’re going to use second hand drives (I do because I’m confident of my backup systems) maybe 4x6TB is better. Bigger drives are harder to come by 2nd hand - and plenty of people will not be comfortable with secondhand spinning rust anyway - if that’s you, then a 2 bay with 2x12TB might be a good choice.

The main downside (according to me) of a Synology is no ZFS, but that didn’t bother me until I was two years in and the owner of three of them.

Thanks for this thoughtful write up of your process. I’m increasingly thinking about what context the model has and keeping it as focused as possible - both to reduce token usage, and to ensure it doesn’t have any cruft in it that potentially causes the model to go down an un-useful path. The prompts for this read like what I imagine a conversation with a junior developer would be when handing off a task.

In practice, this is usually clearing the context after quite small changes and the prompting for the next one with just what I think it is going to need. I guess this is ‘context engineering’ although that sounds like too fancy a term for it.

Proxmox on the metal, then every service as a docker container inside an LXC or VM. Proxmox does nice snapshots (to my NAS) making it a breeze to move them from machine to machine or blow away the Proxmox install and reimport them. All the docker compose files are in git, and the things I apply to every LXC/VM (my monitoring endpoint, apt cache setup etc) are all applied with ansible playbooks also in git. All the LXC’s are cloned from a golden image that has my keys, tailscale setup etc.

100% this. And Lenovos and HPs designed for the business market generally are a pleasure to work on (in the hardware sense) if you need, with good manuals and secondhand spare parts.

the easier a statement is to disprove, the more of a power move it is to say it, as it symbolizes how far you’re willing to go. - ie “faith” in religion.

I’m local first - stuff I’m testing, playing with, or “production” stuff like Jellyfin, Forgeo, AudioBookshelf, Kavita etc etc. Local is faster, more secure, and storage is cheap. But then some of my other stuff that needs 24/7 access from the internet - websites and web apps - they go on the VPS.
