Great job people, that’s just cybersecurity 101

I personally use scaleway, but for options you can check here https://european-alternatives.eu/

Yeah, I’m aware of the overhead and hope I won’t have to roll back to something less, but if it turns out to be too demanding, I will have to roll back to nfs or think of something else.

I’m planning on using proxmox with Ceph. I’m already using proxmox for virtualization of my k8s nodes, but with three hardware nodes it’s finally time to enable ceph as well as HA.

Currently planning for adding a third hardware node into my setup, adding proper distributed storage and enabling ha for all my applications.

For me it’s nature and animal shows only, everything else is fine in HD.

IrfanView, haven’t heard that one mentioned for a long time.

Now that is one gorgeous cat.

Nice tip, I’ll check out the setup once niri merges the per-device settings.

Someone once argued and kept insisting that I was a workaholic, despite me never being one.

Yeah same, disturbing as fuck.

Currently, I’m paying for a vps where I run a test environment for my homelab. I also pay for mail and vpn services, support some FOSS projects and buys music a couple times a month.

New features, fixing bugs, security fixes, hardware support, etc. Why would Linux updates be different than updates to any other OS?

I used to run Debian on my servers and arch on my laptop, but just like you, I had a hard time remembering stuff about the different systems. These days I just run arch on everything.

Soon? It’s been on my resume for over a year.

I used to love keycloak, but lately they’ve made changes that make client setup feel very complicated. I switched to authentik a while back and I feel it’s far easier to deal with.

For me it worked to rotate the screen, then the buttons worked.

Should be easy, considering they don’t exist to begin with.

The problem is that we’ve had a culture of people who don’t know things very well control the purse strings relevant to those things.

I mean that has been the case for a long time, AI may enhance the effect of it, but human stupidity is nothing new.

So we have executives who don’t know their work or customers at all and just try to bullshit while their people frantically try to repair the damage the executive does to preserve their jobs. Then they see bullshit generating platforms and see a kindred spirit, and set a goal of replacing those dumb employees with a more “executive” like entity that also can generate reports and code directly. No talking back, no explaining that the request needs clarification, that the data doesn’t support their decision, just a “yes, and…” result agreeing with whatever dumbass request they thought would be correct and simple.

Once again, yes men have also been a historic phenomenon, and yes AI might speed this up, but it is nothing new per se.

Ai is a tool, not a perfect one, heck most of the time, barely functional, but it is a tool and in order to use it, you need to understand what it can do, and what it can’t do.

I think if you’re aware of the environmental impact, learn how to use it responsibly and avoid many of it pitfalls, together with a critical mindset, it can be usable for some cases.

Thanks for the chuckle
