Even if the AC was left on, I’d have never left my kid in the car alone at 2. So many ways that can go wrong.

Hmmm. I have an old 2012 HP netbook running a first generation C-series AMD APU (think it’s the Brazos platform) kicking around somewhere. Could be fun (or horrible!) to try and daily driver that.

I’m already autistic, what’s it gonna do, give me a software update?

I’ve always heard it as “Where you mean to say one thing but fuck your mother”

The droplets are from their owner misting them, they’re an Amazonian species called emerald tree boas and they need high humidity. Their owner likely put them together as a mating pair, yes - but they appear to just be sharing warmth in the photo. They’re not a very handleable species, so their owner likely opened up their enclosure to mist them and took this photo because of the cuddle.

Meanwhile, for my homelab I just use split DNS and a (properly registered+set up) .house domain - But that’s because I have services that I want to have working with one name both inside and outside of my network

Yep, as someone who just recently setup a hyperconverged mini proxmox cluster running ceph for a kubernetes cluster atop it, storage is hard to do right. Wasn’t until after I migrated my minor services to the new cluster that I realized that ceph’s rbd csi can’t be used by multiple pods at once, so having replicas of something like Nextcloud means I’ll have to use object storage instead of block storage. I mean. I can do that, I just don’t want to lol. It also heavily complicates installing apps into Nextcloud.

Certbot also does DNS challenge, fwiw

DNS challenge makes it even easier, since you don’t have to go through the process of transferring it yourself

Others have addressed the root and trust questions, so I thought I’d mention the “mess” question:

Even the messiest bowl of ravioli is easier to untangle than a bowl of spaghetti.

The mounts/networks/rules and such aren’t “mess”, they are isolation. They’re commoditization. They’re abstraction - Ways to tell whatever is running in the container what it wants to hear, so that you can treat the container as a “black box” that solves the problem you want solved.

Think of Docker containers less like pets and more like cattle, and it very quickly justifies a lot of that stuff because it makes the container disposable, even if the data it’s handling isn’t.

Ah, neat! I just looked it up and it does look useful.

I’ve never really had any trouble with dark reader speed-wise - though it gives one major bonus that no other extension has so far: Attempting to match the appearance of darkened websites to my system theme (Catppuccin)

I can’t tell if you’re agreeing with me, disagreeing with me, or suggesting some alternative

Missed the opportunity to go with ‘Horton Hears a Poo’

I highly recommend the Dark Reader extension for your browser

The solution for me is that I run Nextcloud on a Kubernetes cluster and pin a container version. Then every few months I update that version in my deployment yaml to the latest one I want to run, and run kubectl apply -f nextcloud.yml and it just does its thing. Never given me any real trouble.

Well, it’s terrible at factual things and counting, and even when it comes to writing code it will often hallucinate APIs and libraries that don’t exist - But when given very limited-scope, specific-domain problems with enough detail and direction, I’ve found it to be fairly competent as a rubber ducky for programming.

So far I’ve found ChatGPT to be most useful for:

1. Writing SQL. Seriously, it’s fantastic at writing SQL if you tell it the relevant schema and what you’re trying to achieve.
2. Brainstorming feature flow - Tell it the different parts of a feature, ask for thoughts on how the user should be guided through the process, and it does a decent job of suggesting ideas.
3. Generating alternative names/labels for buttons and such. “In X feature, I have a button that does Y when the user has Z. Currently I have that button labelled ‘Start Y’, but it feels robotic and impersonal. List 10 suggestions for what such a button could say to be more personal and friendly.” and the like. My favorite was a button that was labelled “Map Incoming Data to Job Details”. Wound up renaming the whole process to just “Job Ingestion” because it sounded so good.
4. Reformatting data. Give it a data structure and tell it you want that data in some other data structure, and it is really accurate at reformatting it. I don’t think I’d trust it with a huge amount of data that way, but for an unimportant one-off it was a nice time savings.

I mean. With 530 hours of play time, I’ve gotten to the point of like $0.11/ hour of entertainment and I’d gladly pay them for more lol

Tailscale is an overlay network, like a traditional VPN, but with very little config needed to get everything connected. You can use their managed lighthouse and management servers or run your own with Headscale.

Basically you just login to tailscale on all your devices and they get a LAN connection piped over the Internet without opening ports or needing to manage any infrastructure.

Geforce Now is actually pretty good, but that’s because it’s your own Steam library, rather than something like Stadia where you’re expected to buy games anew.

I generally understand that to mean “most people within the hobby”
