I, personally, mostly use docker as a package manger anyway. I know I’m not supposed to, I know it’s lazy. But, if community-scriots doesn’t have an install then it’s going in one of my Docker Hosts.

I have a VM spun up as virtual laptop, it’s just plain Debian, every couple months I nuke it and go again. Plain Debian is fine

I really should learn Podman. I tried PiHole, as I am familiar with it, and immediately ran up against Podman’s security (the thing I want Podman for) and gave up. I find solutions sticky in that I don’t migrate unless I really have to. It’s why I haven’t learned IPv6, or systemd or, god I am so behind.

In fact, I do need a half step. Legend, thank you.

Excuse me, peasant crontab enjoyer here, but what?! I could write a (mostly) declarative system without having to learn Nix?! I should probably be learning systemd anyway, it’s looking more and more like the present, let alone the future.

I run a bunch of remote reverse proxies that are functionally identical, but for having a different Cloudflare key and calling for a different static IP

Could I write the entire config to a self hosted Git > pull that repo > change those two variables and have a running machine?

Remote updates have been kicking my ass, I either can’t wrap my head around Screen or it isn’t fit for my need. Being able to pull the new config from Git over Tailscale and then run it would be game changing for me.

Tonight, I installed Open Web UI to see what sort of performance I could get out of it.

My entire homelab is a single n100 mini, so it was a bit of squeeze to add even Gemma3n:e2b onto it.

It did something. Free chatgpt is better performance, as long as I remember to use place holder variables. At least for my use case: vibe coding compose.yamls and as a rubber duck/level 0 tech support for trouble shooting. But it did something, I’m probably going to re-test when I upgrade to 32gb of ram, then nuke the LXC and wait till I have a beefier host though.

Climate change risks their livelihood. It’s not their livelihood they’re prioritising.

Did they vote Green? Can’t have been too worried then, I wonder what they thought was more pressing than climate change.

As an aside that piechart is diabolical: two very similar shades of green and blue. Also, Labour are represented as green and Greens as red?!

I’m just lazy. All my nonsense is virtual now. I found a DOSbox docker image last updated 4 years ago. Also all my dos games are .7z currently. Setting it up is as simple as a docker compose and extracting the games I wanna play, but I have to fire up my virtual laptop and… I’m just lazy

Wacky Wheels! Thank you, I had long since forgotten the name, but not the game.

I just checked, I have a copy of it!!! One day I’ll set up a DOSbox. I thought Star Control 2 might be the game that persuaded me, but it might be this garbage kart racer.

Agreed on both counts. It’s true that I went in hoping for a delve in what it means to be severed, but the show told me early it wasn’t going to be that and I accepted that.

I didn’t see the show as promising to critique capitalism, but explore cults through the setting of an office. Everything outside of the exploration of cult was incidental.

Early on the show told us it wouldn’t be a deep philosophical exploration. By making that aspect of the show (personified as the brother in law) be comic relief.

There is, but that kicks the can (hehe) down the road. It’s not a big issue, I live where petrol is expensive but readily available. I set trip counters on the dash, I know roughly how many miles a full tank does and exactly how many miles since I last filled the bike.

The convenience would be to never have to think about petrol again. That’s more than the convenience to never plugging my phone in again.

Ignoring the loophole of using petrol to generate electricity. I can run my house on generators etc.

I don’t mind charging my phone everyday. Managing my motorcycle’s energy is a right pain however. Do I have enough petrol for the trip/day/week, I just want to go home but I have to find a station, is there one on the way, do they have premium. My phone I plug in and let it sort it self out.

I thought Libation merely broke the TOS, not violated the law (UK). Doesn’t matter, I’m on a different vendor now.

Me? None. But I left room for someone who might.

Seeding to ratios is self correcting, in my inexperienced opinion as I only share ISOs.

Unpopular thing sits on someone’s computer (not mine) for ages just happily waiting until it’s useful. Popular thing is in and out. Purely for files intended to be churned; try a distro (in facebook’s case a book), use it, and delete it.

1:3 could be said to be a minimum (1 for to pay back, 1 to pay forward, and 1 to pay for a leecher)

Things that are going to be archived can be set as limitless as long as strain on hardware can be tolerated.

I’m glad I’ve already pulled my audible library in to audibookshelf, I didn’t have many ebooks so didn’t bother with them. I’m moving to librofm this month I think.

History is what it is. Reality is what it is. It won’t be productive while you imagine it to only be a tune in my head, and resort to insults.

As predicted, not going to be a productive conversation.

Same with those civil rights people, they were always marching, and shouting, and angry at an unjust system, and scared of police beatings. Always complaining about lynchings and how they were oppressed. So scared and hate filled.

Funny how history rhymes. They’re scared and angry because they have something to be scared and angry about.

I’ll leave this here. If that doesn’t make you scared and angry then I’m not sure we’re going to have a productive conversation.

Update went fine on a bare metal install. Customising the webUI port is a little easier now, instead of editing lighttdp.conf I think you can do it in the UI.

I struggled to find some settings, I looked for ages for the API token. Found it in all settings: expert, scroll for half a mile down the webUI API section.

Also, struggled with adding CNAMES in bulk, I thought you could do that in the old UI. You might be able to in the new UI. I just 'one by one’d them.

Docker update went flawlessly.

I have an lxc and to go which is a task for another day, unless TTeck’s updater beats me to it.
