“Ask nicely and don’t be a twat” sounds like an awesome t-shirt.

I actually work for a large university in the digital education department. We do have tools like this but I’m pretty sure it’s for python. It could probably be modified for other uses however. I’m a hardware guy or I’d know more about it. If you’re interested I could probably get some more info or get you in touch with the devs that created it. DM if you want some more details.

My wife works at a bakery that uses an ordering system called FreshKDS (kitchen display system in case you’re wondering). She always calls it fresh kids.

I’m assuming an upgrade is pretty painless. I guess know what I’m doing at work on Monday.

100% agree. TechnoTim is quite good. Also take a look at NetworkChuck. But be aware, these two will send you down rabbit holes of self-hosting ideas. Awesome rabbit holes, but rabbit holes nonetheless. I’ve spent weeks playing with stuff they’ve suggested. N8n and MCP is my latest obsession.

I swear to god if Trump figures out a way to actually get Israel to stop this shit I am gonna be so fucking confused I won’t know whether to shit or wind my watch. I’d probably just have to shit on my watch.

Not that the Cheeto Bandito is likely to but still…

ADHD represent!!

Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever even come close to being scammed on Craigslist… knock on wood.

Ok I’ll ask. I’ve been doing containers for a while now. My day job is in virtualization/networking/storage so this shouldn’t be that hard. But I just can’t get my head around kubernetes. Between work and home I have enough hardware to choke a robotic horse so that shouldn’t be a problem. Are there any good resources to get me started?

Whew… I was thinking it may have been a requirement now.

Finally… eBay went to shit years ago with scams and Craigslist is a shell of what it once was. Not to mention I cancelled Facebook years ago because … well because Fuck Zuck.

A weird flash video cartoon about a news report of a disease called crapola - a play on Ebola if I remember correctly. It was stupid but made me chuckle. In my head at this point it is way funnier than it likely actually was so I’ll likely be disappointed if I ever do find it again.

Well the domain helps with that for sure, especially for things like let’s encrypt. But my other stuff is running through Tailscale/headscale so https isn’t really necessary.

I have one that I use for services that other people need to get to. Otherwise I just remember the IP.

Ok I’m arguing for containers/VMs and granted I do this for a living… I’m a systems architect so I build VMs and containers pretty much all the time time at work… but having just one sorta beefy box at home that I can run lots of different things is the way to go. Plus I like to tinker with things so when I screw something up, I can get back to a known state so much easier.

Just having all these things sandboxed makes it SO much easier.

I really thought the same thing. But it truly is super easy. At least just the containers like docker. Not kubernetes, that shit is hard to wrap your head around.

Plus if you screw up one service and mess everything up, you don’t have to rebuild your whole machine.

It used to be a chore for me. I hated it. Now it’s some alone time to listen to my audiobook uninterrupted.

There are also very easy ways of making the nag screen go away.

But yes if you’re running this in prod, pay for it. It’s not expensive and way less then Broadcom VMWare…

Yep 100%. Ubuntu did this once, googled it, and said aloud “Ah hell no!! …” Between this and Snaps I was like ok I’m done. Started researching things like Mint and PopOs. Decided to just stick with Debian. Especially since ProxMox is basically just specialized Debian designed for KVM virtualization.

Yeah I also had a similar problem with updates. Had an old Ubuntu vm that I could not get to upgrade without lots of pain. It’s like they were trying to piss me off.
