All I need is for them to fix the public collection RSS feed bug where they embed “https,http” in the feed xml if you’re behind a reverse proxy - which breaks parsing

and has integration for Oxidized, smokeping, greylog and more

Desktop Toys!

Yes. But also, despite having done it literally thousands of times, I still can’t tell you which way round to put the target and the link name for a softlink on the first go.

My first guess is always

ln -s $NAME $TARGET

No amount of repetition will fix this.

Sounds like you have reason to bump it up the list now - two birds with one stone.

I need to do this too. I know I have stuff deployed that has plaintext secrets in .env or even the compose. I’ll never get time to audit everything. So the more I make the baseline deployment safe, the better.

It’s common with rootless docker/podman. Something needs to start up the services, and you’re not using a root enabled docker/podman socket, so systemd it is.

Quite right, any country will do - that way the post is useful to more people than just me!

I’m not American, I just live somewhere where literally everything is international to me, so it doesn’t matter if it comes from Timbuktu.

This issue is described by Poe’s law.

Also, nothing electronic implements the various suggestions on irony punctuation.

I’m saving and planning to pay a $900 electricity bill in August.

Window units are a thing, and I recommend you get one.

Did you start with obsidian and migrate? Any experience with obsidian? I’d like to move to logseq, but the interface feels so alien I keep bouncing off it

Perhaps it is a good day to die.

Assuming this hasn’t been adjusted for, possibly because it was bundled with the ps2 in a lot of places

Lots of people have been talking about products and tools. It’s docker, tailscale, cloudflare proxmox etc. These are important, but will likely come and go on a long enough timescale.

In terms of actual skills, there’s two that will dramatically decrease your headaches. Documention and backup planning. The problem with developing those skills is, to my knowledge, they’ve only ever been obtained through suffering. Trying to remember how to rebuild something when you built it 6 months ago is futile. Trying to recover borked data is brutal. There’s no fail-safe that you haven’t created, and there’s no history that you haven’t written. Fortunately, these are also the most transferable skills.

My advice is, jump in. Don’t hesitate. The chops in docker/linux/networking will come with use and familiarity. If it looks cool, do it. Make mistakes. You will rapidly realise what the problems with your set up are. You will gain knowledge in leaps and bounds from breaking a thing vs learning by rote or lesson. Reframe the headaches as a feature, not a bug - they’re highlighting holes in your understanding. They signpost the way to being a better tech, and a more stable production environment.

The greatest bit about self hosting for me is planning the next great leap forward, making it better, cleaner, more robust. Growing the confidence in your abilities to create a system you can trust. Honing your skills and toolset is the entirety of the excercise, so jump in, and don’t focus on any one thing to master or practice before hand!

Buying their 1 tb drives has been my prefered way to to do backup sync and distro hopping for a while now, with a $20 cradle, and a wallet of these things, you never have to leave anything behind.

Except for Animal, who’s playing the drums

Don’t forget the pro wall mount is $599

How someone is pronouncing W is actually a good way to guess where the speaker is from, or where the person that taurht them learned english.

double you for british/american accents

dubba you for some american accents

Dablu or dabloo is a clear indication that the speaker is not a naitive western english speaker, usually indicating indian for the speaker.

double v (often pronounced as double we) usually points towards somewhere near germany/holland/belgium

I’ve never heard anyone say just dub, curious if anyone has?

Edit: I lied. W pronounced ‘dub’ is only ever used to indicate a ‘win’. e.g. ‘Took the dub’

It also sounds like clearing your throat, then spitting!

Haugck - Tooie!

Edit: and now I see that was the joke
