I really like the simplicity of WebDAV especially when combined with Docker. HTTP just works. Have you ever tried to properly set up samba or NFS in a container?

I tried this for a while and I consider the experiment failed. No closed source means no Whatsapp, etc. Let's face reality, no-one is using XMPP ;) In the end I started the policy "Prefer open-source software on Android", whi

Since google reader died, I've been self-hosting a TTRSS instance. I agree with the author that newspapers often have a waterfall of articles that's impossible to read. One of the solutions I saw on a local traffic alert site was

Since a concert, I also have slight hearing loss on one hear. Now I'm constantly being reminded to take care of my hearing due to the difference in "sound color" between left and right. Fortunately I don't have a signifi

I cannot comment on the DCIM side, but I agree on the "everything as code" mantra. For a relatively small setup I chose a combination of Ansible, Kubernetes and Dockerfiles, but probably any combination will do. All these files ar

I recently bought a set of reusable stainless steel straws. They were expensive, but have a timeless "design" and have a build quality that gives the impression they will last a lifetime. When dirty I throw them in the dishwasher

Nature has not been able to solve the problem of ageing because natural selection does not work at later age. The organism has already successfully procreated, so there is no survival of the fittest.

When contacting OVH support in French, I generally receive very good support. I sometimes wonder how good the response is when they receive the same question in English.

I do agree with you. I think in this case the elaborate search replaces the "ikea assembling" part. Finding the perfect second hand piece is a very rewarding feeling. Even when the item itself has some minor flaws, which you the c

I often recommend people to read "Git Internals". If you know how git works internally, it's much easier to understand how it works and the reasons behind it. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Git-

I would recommend you to read the LWN series on namespaces. The articles are not very recent, but this low level part of docker (kernel namespaces) has not changed. https://lwn.net/Articles/531114/

The obvious advantage is that all platforms share the same code. As such it's easier to add new features. While for org mode emacs, orgzly, etc are separate projects that have to be kept in sync

My approximately one-year experience with my XPS13 has been pretty uneventful (as it should be). Fedora 25 and 26 have been working flawlessly. Although I have to acknowledge that when I put my ear on the keyboard I hear some coil whine. I

I would guess that PCs in banks are quite locked down, maybe even making it impossible to remap keys. But everyone can pop some keys from his/her keyboard. Plus it's a much easier (and fun) office mod than messing around in the se

Previously I had a Thinkpad T60p as laptop, when tickless Linux kernels (iirc 2.6.21) and powertop were all new. I made a ultra-idle setup which generated only 10-20 interrupts per second. That was, until you even dared to touch the synapti
