Yeah, at airports (where most travellers arrive). I recently arrived at Narita airport, you go down to the trains and there's an office you go to where a human being spends a couple minutes helping you get a Suica. It's…
PREACH! I run K8s at home. I used to do docker-compose - and I'd still recommend that to most people - but even for my 1 little NUC with 4vcpu / 16Gi Homelab, I still love deploying with K8s. It's genuinely simpler for…
The brilliance of the implementation of cooldowns: For someone to go download and run it, automated or otherwise, they simply follow the standard installation process. Users who want take the extra precaution of waiting…
Total meh from me, an end user. User of KeePass since at least 2015, I've written end-user guides, contributed to the main documentation, evangelize it to my family and friends when they have security questions. I store…
Hot take alert! As an avid self-hoster, I'd like to hear why. Personally, I self host because the benefits I receive simply aren't available anywhere else at the level of quality I've come to expect - Jellyfin is a…
Well, it's stored in an encrypted way - in the encrypted password database. Much like a password, everyone already knows not to share a passkey. But also like a password, as the owner, sometimes I want to look at it!
My problem with NixOS is the second you try to go "outside the guardrails", the difficulty increases 100x
Admittedly I didn't dive much into this to get the full context, but it's saddening to me that a legendary game designer had a GoFundMe. I was hoping achieving that level of status in a traditionally well-paid industry…
I wouldn't say it's perfect quite yet. I just installed Debian on my Framework, and my microphone isn't working. Debugging it for the last 30 minutes has gotten me nowhere, and half the answers on the internet don't…
Maybe this is naive, but in a good crypto system, I would hope "when" is measured in millions or billions of years given current hardware capabilities.
I'll add my opinion as a DevOps engineer, not a startup, so take it with a grain of salt. * Kubernetes is great for a lot of things, and I think there's many use cases for it where it's the best option bar none *…
From someone who was recently tasked with "add service mesh" - make service mesh obsolete. I don't want to install a service mesh. mTLS or some other from of encryption between pods should just happen automatically. I…
People keep talking about having been hacked, but it's honestly baffling to me. I'm 28. I started using computers on a regular basis when I was ~9 years old, playing RuneScape. Since then, I've spend probably 10s of…
I've used docker-compose, k8s, and NixOS myself, being from a similar technical background as the author, but I find myself disagreeing with some of the author's opinions on the technologies. They're not wrong of…
I also ran NixOS on my framework for a while. As much as I loved the idea of Nix, it's also incredibly hard - I work with Linux day in and day out for work, and finding my way around Nix, configuring new packages /…
I applied for a job at a medical cannabis operation in Canada right before legalization hit. I was curious to see if they had checked out my personal website, so I grabbed my webserver logs and I recognized one IP from…
I wrote a quick program in Go to move a certain file from my Downloads folder to my Google Drive folder, when the file is detected. It's to help me backup with Tiddlywiki.
This whole LastPass kerfuffle has solidified my choice to continue using FOSS + self hosted password managers only. If my passwords get stolen, I'd rather be responsible for the loss than wait for a company to put out a…
As far as Jellyfin goes in my own experience: - Supports phone / tablet / browser / roku / others - Can chromecast - Supports movies, tv. Not sure about random videos but I suppose you could do it. - Supports subtitle…
Oh good. I've considered working for Google, I think they work on interesting things, but I've recently adopted the stance that I won't take jobs that don't allow me the freedom to work 100% remotely. I value that…
TBH I find it completely wild that someone prefers PHP to a statically generated site (Assuming you can get away with statically-generated). Just serving static files is way way way faster than running a backend, not to…
Look into Cactus comments! https://cactus.chat/ Not affiliated. Just think it's cool.
> I just don’t think that includes forcing them, or using the government to force them, to make changes to their software to suit you. I don't want to force them to make changes! I want to force them to not make…
For Irish people who wish to subvert this order, there's a handy concept in cryptography known as deniable encryption. Essentially, users (you) may convincingly deny that a plaintext version of encrypted data exists.…
This may be a little pie-in-the-sky, but I've found myself disliking the "upvote" or "like" mentality. Instead, maybe a "I use(d) this!" functionality, as well as talk sections for each routine?
