OK, I'll bite. What are some alternatives besides advertising or paying a fee to get no Ads?

I said kill me now at the end of my post and that I am part of the problem and you yet think I am happy about it? Ok you got me bud. Yep 100% Stockholm syndrome. No, I am not happy about it, but what else is there? Do you block YouTube on y

I echo the author's praise of YouTube Premium. When it first came out I was like there is no way I would ever pay for such service. Being an early YouTube user, pre Google buyout, I still was in love with the platform that gave me cont

The battery requirements for constant streaming on LTE/5G would most likely be a constraint here. I do think your point makes a lot of sense however.

I like it a lot. I moved totally away from docker-compose and Docker a couple years ago to using only Podman and I haven't looked back. Using Podman Pods let's me isolate my workloads in their own namespaces and I can prototype a

Paperless was a project and then it died, so it got forked to Paperless NG (Next Generation). Paperless NG died off and it got forked again to Paperless NGX. At least that is my understanding following the Paperless project over the years.

If anyone is looking to kick the tires of Paperless NGX quickly, check out my little pet project [1] for running it with Podman. I use it every week to scan papers from my Brother ADS2800w which will SFTP the PDFs into a directory for Paper

The term bare-metal in this context means installing and managing Linux (or your OS of choice) on hardware directly without a Hypervisor is considered a bare-metal deployment. It's never meant no operating system.

I started paying for Signal when they rolled out the subscription feature at the $5/mo plan and after reading this post, I just moved to the $10/mo plan because of how much I value this service since I use it every day. I hope oth

My quarter rack Home lab in my basement is pulling 133 Watts right now with a low power 1U Supermicro SOC, an older Supermicro mini tower used as a NAS, and my networking gear and Internet modems. I don't have any intense workloads run

Don't get me wrong, I love using them too. They are great for getting something setup quickly when you are getting started. I use some cloud services that support my single datacenter rack I have today. For my expensive workloads, I ru

Back in 2007ish the CEO of Parallels/SWSoft (the company behind Virtuozzo a very popular hypervisor used back in the day) stood on the stage of the keynote of HostingCon and said that the Cloud (AWS) was going to eat the WebHosting Ind

I have been using Typer on every one of my CLI projects which uses Click under the hood. The documentation is fantastic, the CLI app it produces looks great and Typer lets you create things quickly. I high recommend it. https://t

I was just thinking the same thing but to be honest, I kinda miss the amounts of snow we used to get back in the day. That might be my Midwestern Stockholm syndrome flaring up.

> Ops is not peripheral to the job, ops is an essential part of the job. I am 100% with you on this point. Ops is treated as a cost center vs a core feature. This means it is often a chore to maintain and the first thing to get scrutiniz

I am using Defined.net to manage my nebula deployment in my datacenter rack and it has made operationalizing an overlay network a breeze. It's like having my own basic private VPC with security groups (roles) without a cloud provider.

I switched to Kagi earlier this year and I have found its search to be vastly better than Google's in almost every case. The only time I finding myself use Google over Kagi is for searching for local business numbers or Google Maps. If

They changed to the BDL from the MPL https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq which in FOSS culture is considered a dick move.

by jdoss 3y ago
Seconded. Hashicorp Nomad has been a breath of fresh air for doing HA deployments for my workloads. Getting a small cluster setup to self host Nomad is so easier than Kubernetes and defining workloads is much easier to understand too IMO. T

I am well aware that docker compose works mostly with Podman. I prefer to use Podamn with systemd over it. I have you even tried giving this a shot? Maybe give using Podman + systemd following my example in Bash instead of Docker + Docker C

by jdoss 3y ago
Seconded on the things Podman gets right. Also the isolation of all of the containers in their own network name space makes port management on my workstation super easy. I run many things like Paperless NGX using the same pattern in the sta

It's in this script so I can SFTP PDFs from my scanner over the network. Push button, scan paper and then it is SFTP'ed to a shared volume between SFTPGo and Paperless so it is detected and ingested into Paperless NGX automaticall

I don't use Docker at all on any of my infra or workstations. That's why I made this.

If you are looking to quickly setup Paperless-NGX check out my little side project https://github.com/jdoss/ppngx . It will setup everything you need to run Paperless-NGX (PostgreSQL, Redis, Tika, Gotenberg, PaperlessNG

It sounds like your workloads need that kind of flexibility and using a cloud provider makes total sense. My point is a lot of deployments most likely don't have those requirements (and never will) and there are way more cost effective

The problem is every company wants to have Google level usage so they plan for it and it never happens. This leaves them with an over engineered solution that costs an insane amount of money. The cloud providers continue feed our industry t

For sure. I was at a company in the mid 2000s and we had 50+ racks of servers and managing those back in the day was a very big lift. If we had the tooling we do now back then, we could have done it with a fraction of the cost. When I told

by jdoss 3y ago
Don't forget the lies of cost savings that the Cloud providers have shoved down our industry's throats. We are paying out the nose for cloud services and we are giving up all the rights to our data. It's a bad deal in the end

I actually use Fedora IOT in my datacenter rack to access my switches over LTE in an oh shit scenario. My uptime on my RPi3 B+ has been fantastic with this flavor of Fedora. I plan on switching over to FCOS on a RPi 4 soon tho.

I think Flatcar is alive and well. I haven't used it personally so I can't really comment much on it. As for building VM images, I don't actually do that in my setup. I just use the base FCOS image, boot it with a barebones B
