Why the hatched ground plane instead of solid?

I support an engineering org server, they access their files via nextcloud with a mariadb server and redis, plus some caching stuff for php-fpm, and an nginx front-end.

No complaints, checks (from what I see) all your boxes and has been very dependable going on 6 yrs now for all their simulation data both large and small off a little 1gbps dell r710.

Don’t install a lot of plugins. The setup documentation seems to be just right, getting you to the ideal destination of reliable and fast. Do take the option to run tasks in crontab, instead of internally.

Oh shit, same! I had to upgrade some oscilloscopes, and thought I’d get these. Dead, instead of a year, all 5x.

Well… At least all the ones related to platform IO and other embedded development. Can’t say every extension, since I’ve not tried them all.

Represent! (It’s vscode with all telemetry and crap removed, all your vscode extensions still work fine)

No this shit is fucked

If you’re comfortable with it, an analog (non-networked) kvm switch can have its button connected to a single input Pikvm via the GPIO. You visit the PiKVM’s webpage, hit a button and you’re now connected to a different machine.

If you have a raspberry pi 1 or 2, this isn’t very expensive, but nets you an open source IP KVM.

Roll your own 😎 lots of folks have a pi 2 that’s not doing much

Maybe some enjoy the open-stack in terms of network security… I’d personally use this in front of a port multiplier, so you can have 8x machines going to a switch, the front of the switch toggled by one of the Pi’s GPIO pins.

Part of it is that the prices for the Pi’s themselves have dramatically increased lately.

PiKVM?

Ugh. Horseshit.

Good point, I’d been interested in using toml

Love airvpn, it unfortunately trips captchas a lot, and some sites outright block you. If you’re seeing this up on a router, make a wifi network that’s unprotected just for the sake of convenience.

But torrenting and everything critical, rocksteady.

I’m supporting embedded devices, and I like the performance of C. I’ve used python, it’s meh. At least you don’t have to compile it.

Yes! Please be declaritive for the next people in line!

I really like C because I can just get to the heart of an action and make it happen without much surrounding code.

I could make classes and blah blah blah if I want to make a large, complex program but I’d rather write several small, simple to grok programs which pass information around so each program can do its one simple thing, quickly and easily. Chain the small programs together with bash or something, and bingo, you’ve got a modular high speed system.

I’m not a programmer, actually a mechanical engineer. But the Unix philosophy of simple, modular tools is great, provided one properly checks and sanitizes inputs.

Aww, I love their icon!

If you have vertical clearance above the board, get a pwm 120mm fan, carefully zip tie and call it a day.

The added benefit of an oversized fan beyond noise is that it’s actively cooling other parts of the board which normally may not be reached by the smaller fan.

Right? These fucking morons can’t even write/produce good movies most of the time.

Sure, that’s ok. Thanks for asking.

The networking send to be where documentation for both docker and podman seem to be a bit slim, just a heads up.

I learn by twiddling knobs and such and inspecting results, so having come from a tall stack of KVM machines to docker, this helped me become effective with a project I needed to get running quickly: https://training.play-with-docker.com/

You basically log into a remote system which has docker configured, and go through their guide to see what command is needed per action, and also indirectly gets you to grok the conceptual difference between a VM and a container.

Jump straight to the first tutorial: https://training.play-with-docker.com/ops-s1-hello/

I’m basically the same here, used to be a sysmin too. Docker compose is running a couple of complicated inter-dependent services at my job as a first try for me, it’s been quite stable and clear on what’s happening within the containers.

I really like how the docker setup files also become a source of truth documentation wise, particularly when paired with git.

P.s. I know it’s a typo, but imagine a ‘black Friday upgrade’ for your server being a move from 4gb ram to 32mb. Return to monke 1998.

Moreso than that ‘illustration’ 😆

Were they drunk??? That doesn’t really even look like a bird!

Ooof. Fuck 'em in that case.

Just don’t want foreign powers messing with people who’ve done their best to escape said governments either.

Not that having local govts cause a problem where there isn’t one is ok either.

Well… Either the evidence will be presented, or people will lose faith in the RCMP. That bit at the end of the article, “already disrupted illegal activity” should be used as a demand for the corresponding evidence.

I don’t doubt the possibility of such a remote police station in foreign communities. But disrupting community services is also a non-starter.

Lessons learned: mergers reduce quality at both ends.

I can’t be the only one who believes the military stuff would have also improved with a mix of quality engineers and quality management right?

Ruining McDonnell??? My guy, it’s the other way around hahaha.

As one former exec lamented, “McDonnell bought Boeing with Boeing’s own money” back in the late 90s.

Profit over quality was exactly why shitbox McDonnell couldn’t keep their own lights on.

This seems like a reasonable and insightful take. Is there a way a non-profit could still survive in silicon valley? For ex, IETF isn’t a profit focused organization.
