Yeah, I don’t run shell scripts unless I can review them first. I’m considered “the bash guy” at my job, and part of that means reviewing people’s scripts. I have referenced this wiki page hundreds of times because so many people don’t know how fucking shit Bash is as a language. My god, every time I see set -euo pipefail I want to scream until my lungs exit my body and then I leave a polite comment about how that might be a bad idea and link this page.

No, it’s syphilitic brain damage.

I’ll mirror what others have said. Arch is the most stable distro I’ve ever used over the long term. Even with heavy AUR use, I’ve been rocking the same installation for over a decade on one of my computers.

Sounds like they either used a boilerplate EULA or hired a lawyer who is unaware of the requirements imposed by the GPL. If it’s the latter then I hope they can get their money back.

EDIT: yeah, this looks like an unmodified GPL to me: https://github.com/layground/pockaw/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Each VM can be sized appropriately for the demands of the container. With docker desktop, you can’t have a container use all of your system cores without making the VM have access to all of your cores all the time always. One of the biggest benefits (imo) of running containers on a Linux workstation is that if you don’t define a CPI limit, a container can use all the compute/memory on your system. You just can’t do that with Docker desktop. This also affects multi threaded container builds when you’re using buildkit.

Being able to spin up a vm to build a container with all cores accessible to it, and then run the actual container with a smaller number of cores would make container builds so much faster.

EDIT: I’ve looked, and it appears that podman desktop also does 1 big VM, rather than having 1 VM per container.

I’m not sure. To me, the most interesting thing is that each container gets its own VM. I don’t know if podman does that or not. I’d guess not, since CoreOS isn’t the lightest OS around (I’ve used CoreOS and Flatcar extensively at my job and it’s a lil chunky as far as immutable container host OSes go).

Using the open source Containerization package, it runs a lightweight VM for each container that you create.

A big improvement over the stupid shit Docker Desktop did (running a bigass ugly VM for all containers). I’ll still stick with my Linux laptop ;)

There’s also ZZ 👉😎👉 Same caveats apply, smash that fukken esc key (for bonus points rebind caps lock as esc) then ZZ Top your way out of that shit.

I mean, systemd-networkd and systemd-timesyncd are both completely independent and are not required by systemd. I use connman and chronyd on my arch box and systemd gives not one fuck.

There’s still some totally valid concern to be had over how bundled a lot of this stuff is, but it’s not all one big blob.

Yep. Thankfully, the project is AGPL v3 licensed.

Should have just used AGPL from the start, instead of falling back to this fucked up modified BSD license. It wouldn’t stop people from stripping the branding, but they’d have to release source code which would tell all users what they’re actually using.

For those who like me who didn’t know what this is, I believe it’s an open source reimplementation of a Bambu AMS module. I’m probably not 100% correct about that, so if OP responds then you should listen to them, not me.

I’d guess they’ll just have big ass black body radiators oriented away from the sun.

Hard power cycling your AC unit is bad for it and may eventually kill it. The fan needs to run for a bit after the compressor turns off. This affects large ACs more than small ones, but it may cause damage after a while. If your AC unit has an RF remote, I’d recommend using something like a Broadlink unit to control it.

I would not recommend ThirdReality zigbee smart plugs. Their firmware updates have been buggy far too often. Honestly, the only smart plugs I’ve been happy with are z-wave ones. Zooz ZEN04-LR and ZEN15-LR (for high current draw applications) plugs have been awesome for me. My hub is PoE, so I can easily stick it centrally in my home.

There’s also OnShape if you’re okay with all of your stuff being publicly available. I bounced off of FreeCAD as an Inventor user, but OnShape was pretty painless for me. FreeCAD is the better option because it’s FOSS and not SaaS garbage, but being able to avoid a Windows VM made OnShape seem worth it to me.

But k3s so niiiice.

“Get off vent, or I’ll have you bent.”

I wish those stupid videos weren’t the first thing my brain goes for when I see the word “Ventrilo.”

Proxmox HA cluster with a SAN. VM migrations go wheeeeeeeeee.

I’d just run HA on the mini PC. There are a boatload of add-ons that you can install which will allow you to make better use of the hardware.

Wireguard was written with the explicit goal of having sane, secure defaults. I totally feel you w.r.t. openvpn or ipsec, since it’s easy to do something wrong. Wireguard is much easier because it simply refuses to give you the choice to do things incorrectly.

w.r.t. the certificate thing, you could set up a reverse proxy and do HSTS to ensure nobody can load up a rogue CA on your devices. HSTS has the issue that SSH has (trust on first use or whatever it’s called), but you just need to make sure nobody is MITM you for that first connecting and then you’ll be good to go. This would let you use a self-signed certificate if you do desired.
