Godot is written in C++ not Rust…

Unfortunately all of those dark patterns actually do work statistically speaking, that’s why they’re so prevalent. It really sucks because it means they’ll never stop.

Vscode even has a terminal built in haha

This is amazing, going to recommend this to my team as a JavaScript replacement on Monday!

I used to use Alpine containers but I’ve since standardize on Debian completely. Proxmox is Debian, my VMs run Debian, my LXCs run Debian, my VPSs run Debian, Raspian on my RPi is Debian, Armbian on my Odroid is Debian, etc, etc.

The benefit of running the same distribution on all my servers no matter where or how they’re hosted can’t be overstated.

Less mental overhead remembering different commands or config paths, same software on everything, etc. It’s been fantastic and Debian has always been rock solid for me.

That’s exactly how I have my setup, and on my client WireGuard configs I have it set to split route so I can connect to my home VPN without disrupting anything else.

That’s awesome to hear! I’ll give them a shot of one of my domains and see how it goes.

How has email deliverability been for you using Proton with a custom domain? I’m trying to move off of Google for everything but I’m still on Gmail for my personal email and a few custom domains. I’d love to move to Proton but have heard of problems with email going to spam or never being delivered but not sure if that only applies to their domains.

I’ve been using Namecheap for years and have been happy with it. Why do you prefer Cloudflare? Is it for easier integration with Cloudflare services? How’s the pricing compared to Namecheap?

Sorry for the interrogation lol

I’m glad they shut it down. An inaccurate tool is worse than no tool, especially if teachers are using it to check student essays and punishing students for false positives…

Even just more generally, people were trusting these detection tools not realizing how inaccurate they were, which causes huge problems both due to false positives and false negatives. Better to remove the useless tools now and work on a better solution, if one is even possible which I’m not sure it is.

I’m honestly amazed that the no emoji culture on Reddit persisted even after it became super mainstream. But agreed, I actually like emoji for adding emotion/intent indicators to text. I use them all the time in personal conversations and work Slack, but never ever on Reddit for whatever reason haha.

That’s the problem, a lot of CS professors never worked in the industry or did anything outside academia so they never learned those lessons…or the last time they did work was back in the 90s lol.

Doesn’t help that most universities don’t seem to offer “software engineering” degrees and so everyone takes “computer science” even if they don’t want to be a computer scientist.

It could have just said: c++ programming

I feel like you just answered your own question of why people don’t like VB.NET and prefer C#. Per your own words you have two languages that are “just as good” except one of them needs settings adjustments or it’s not as good, and also has “alien” syntax which makes it harder for other developers to work on the code and makes it harder for you to move to other C-style languages (basically every currently popular language).

So if at best they’re “just as good”, then the obvious choice is C# which requires no settings change and has familiar syntax. Especially so if you can work in both just fine.

It’s not just some “god complex” thing, it’s mostly just practicality.

Or Matrix if it’s meant to be more “Discord style”

We understand tabs perfectly, we press the tab bar and our editor inserts 4 spaces like god intended

I have an issue with my cell carrier blocking traffic to my home WireGuard server. It works from everywhere else and other cell services so I know it’s them. I’m definitely gonna try out Tailscale to see if it’ll get around it. Thanks for the tip. Too bad about the battery drain but I’m usually only hopping on for a minute to run a few commands over ssh or whatever so shouldn’t be a big deal.

If you already have to setup and maintain WireGuard, what’s the added benefit of Tailscale for your use case?

Interesting… I also saw some people post about the self hostable open source version Headscale, so I’m going to play around with it. Tailscale gets recommended so often there must be something to it, I was just always put off by having to rely on a company to access my personal stuff which is sort of the whole reason I self host in the first place… but if I can self host the Tailscale coordinator that changes things.

I’ve been happy with vanilla WireGuard for my use case but it’s always nice to learn about other options.

I don’t think I can edit comments, but I meant to say we-easy is a WireGuard docker container, not a “socket” container lol

I still don’t fully understand the benefit over plain WireGuard for a home lab use case…

I set up wg-easy (WireGuard socket container with built in web interface to easily generate certs for clients) in about 5 minutes on an odroid (like a raspberry pi). Opened a single port on my router. Generated certs for my phone and laptop using the web interface in about 30 seconds. Changed one line in my client configs to only route network on my home’s IP range over the VPN so I can connect without disrupting my internet connection. Then I just activate the VPN and I can access all of my home services. (writing all that out kind of makes it sound complicated but literally this was done in like 10 minutes total and never had to touch it again except to log into the web admin to make certs for new clients occasionally)

Since Tailscale is a mesh VPN like Nebula, wouldn’t I need to install and set it up on all of my servers and VMs instead of just one to access everything? And then every new VM I make I would have to manually set that up too? Wouldn’t that be harder to setup over all than a single wg-easy container?

I feel like maybe I don’t fully understand how Tailscale works because it never seemed more convenient or better than vanilla WireGuard and it just uses WG protocol under the hood anyway but with the added dependency of a 3rd party service I have to trust and that can go down disabling my access to my home network…

FYI Mono is essentially dead now or at least no longer necessary as .NET 6 is open source and cross platform, so you can just use regular .NET on Linux now.

I vote option 2

Oh my home NAS I started this way and it worked great. I only bought an HBA card because I needed more ports. Your mobo probably exposes your SATA controller as a PCI-E device that can be used via pass through in a VM. In my case I booted Proxmox off of NVME drive and passed my SATA controller to a Debian VM where I just use simple NFS and Samba for sharing and SnapRAID for drive parity (but TrueNas should work just as well).

I had zero issues with it and when I upgraded to an HBA card I just switched the drives to those ports and switched the PCIE device I was passing through and everything just worked (helps I always mount using partition UUIDs).

Sweet I’m gonna check this out! So far I’ve been doing everything from ssh terminals on my phone/laptop using some bash aliases/functions I wrote to simplify some stuff like downloading whole channels based on a json config file, downloading videos using my preferred flags, etc. I was planning to eventually build something around it, but if this meets my needs or I can modify it to do so, it would save a bunch of time.

Sorry I wasn’t trying to be a dick, I re-read my comment and realize I kind of was haha. Honestly I think for your use case, AGPL makes the most sense. You get the openness you’re looking for while also protecting your business more than MIT by preventing other companies from taking your code and hosting their own version without every contributing back their modifications.

Given that they thought they needed to license the whole project as MIT instead of say AGPL just because they use MIT libraries I don’t think they really understand open source licenses…

I guess it’s not so much “hosting” as having it on your home NAS with some scripts to backups channels and videos that you like. At least that’s what I do.

Thought I should make a point to mention youtube-dl is dead, yt-dlp is the replacement and it works great. Even has a command line flag to make its options work the same as the options in youtube-dl so it can be a drop in replacement for existing scripts.

Ideally Pihole should actually speed up your connectivity by blocking all of the tracking and ad connections your browser and apps would normally make. Since it’s basically just a DNS server, it doesn’t take much horsepower to run either.
