Oh but that's the entire point! I do not assume I'm immune to the same error - in fact introspecting on this continuously is absolutely vital. What I'm arguing against is inaction in the face of uncertainty. The phrase "

I think the point being made is that there is a limit to tolerance and what might be called multicultural or post modernism. I took the original comments point to be: all humans deserve respect intrinsically, but evil does exist and should

He was an editor of a paper that published a racist opinion piece which he disavowed and apologized for allowing it to be published. Also, congressman, not senator. Just for some non-mouth-foamy context. I’d say hyperbole is the monster - a

I mean, listen to modern UK music for about 10 minutes and you’ll hear this. I like “nothing great about Britain”. “Top Boy” isn’t exactly about people thriving.

Haha my team maintains something just like this this internally - ours is called “info-radiator”. Great idea for a product. You should add an Amazon referral link to a small Lenovo tablet and some Velcro for developers to have a dedicated K

260 acres since 2021 really isn’t all that much - and they appear to have built housing on it - and we don’t know how much wetlands Indiana was losing per year before the rollback of protections. So this article fundamentally doesn’t give m

Vault will be last on my list to replace. It's boring and it works and it's integration with K8s is actually much better than it's integration with Nomad. Eventually though, I'd like to move to AWS Secrets Manager.

I’ve done a lot of good work with Hashicorp tools for many many years. But I’m extremely excited to move off Terraform, Nomad, Consul, Vault and the rest. Actually quite happy with the future: CDK, CDK8s… it’s a bit of a mess currently but

Kids are certainly less likely to be injured these days - but car seats for a dollar! Raising kids in the last 100 years makes normal consumer inflation look like a cute joke - modern car seats are easily 200x more expensive! It’s a horribl

This is an elaborate version of a modern zero-sum-game ideology. It’s immoral to build a shelter past absolutely bare necessity because of all the folks who have no shelter period. It’s instantly understood in this mental framework that any

Haha the same can be said about kubernetes and my other examples! I totally agree. Still - some documentation is better than none!

To some extent my entire career has been searching for and destroying said half baked implementations. This saying can be adapted to infra: “half baked, bug ridden kubernetes”, “half baked, bug ridden proxySQL”, “half baked, bug ridden redi

What’s more intriguing to me beyond the YDIH is that clearly something wild happened during the Younger Dryas period, impact or not. Regardless of what caused the dramatic fluctuations in temperature, wildfires, ocean levels (floods) and me

Oh in context it’s still a great joke! No shade on Colbert - just the folks who think this is some wise truth instead of a joke.

by erulabs 3y ago
Of all the almost-correct-but-actually-harmful things Colbert has said, this is easily ranks among the most harmful ones. It's the worst sort of wannabe-aphorism: it simultaneously obscures an incredibly interesting line of thought, in

"I'm sure the communities will respect these spaces." doesn't really read like "These spaces won't be taken care of not because the community doesn't value them, but because other people are racist towards

Well, but the complaint is "Bezos should pay his taxes". And we've now established that he has . So... To the comment you replied to's point: we should be upset at the tax code not at people who (as we've establish

I wouldn’t really call this example “religious”. They’re discussing religion sure, but it’s hardly dark existentialism? If anything it’s sort of sophomore level philosophy stoner chat. It seems to be a pretty obvious side effect of chatgpt

You can disagree without ad hominem. Your points make little to no sense, even beyond your sneer. Pods can’t be “upgraded” individually becuase pods are ephemeral. Downgrades work fine - replace newer binaries with older binaries. Upgrades

A nontrivial full time job, a wife, a toddler, an infant, a mortgage, and my own fatigue. I will, eventually, have the capital to continue.

That’s effectively the tactic with the hardware - however - home hosting does need a SaaS imo! Between remote access (proxying ala cloudflare tunnels), backups, VPN, there are nontrivial ongoing services that need to be in place for happy

I think if you could sell an as-easy-a-chromecast box that could do jellyfin, had a nice ui for uploading local media, and had an easy guide or built in VPN/torrent client, you’d be to build a great business. Of course - you can’t exac

I agree! Unfortunately, we pivoted to self-hosting right around the time we were running out of money, and around the time I had a child and thus, needed money. I'm really glad we pivoted to something we love and our users love, but it

I disagree with everything you've said but there isn't enough content to any of your complaints to respond meaningfully. Upgrades and downgrades work fantastically. Putting "a firewall in front" is trivial - just... put

I mean, it’s not the best argument to say a system is “one action away from disaster”. If you pull the escape lever in an F16 for no reason you’re also pretty screwed. If you intentionally fly into the ground no one blames General Dynamics
