You’re thinking of Clinton era neo liberals that are still in power.
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 4 days ago:
I think it would be silly to assume Ford isn’t updating the Mach E as it continues to produce it.
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 4 days ago:
The Ford Mach E is a good EV.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 4 days ago:
Because the built in software is usually there because the manufacturer is receiving money from the software company. That’s why consumer devices are always bloated with garbage.
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 week ago:
You can get 4 if you make them 1 core each.
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 week ago:
Okay, it’s been a while since I first heard of it. I misremembered. So, it would be cool to have a vps with Headscale and Pangolin.
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 week ago:
Yeah… I know it’s insane. But they give you 4 arm cores, 24GB RAM, 200GB of storage in their always free tier.
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 week ago:
Oh, I must have completely misunderstood what Pangolin is for. Thanks for the info.
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 week ago:
I don’t understand, each compute unit gets their own IP right?
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 week ago:
I believe Pangolin is also using Wireguard. Pangolin is basically a self hosted Tailscale. I think the biggest advantage is the ease of management, but I’ve never used Pangolin or Tailscale so I couldn’t really tell you.

I know gross Oracle, but they have a fantastic free tier that would be good for that.
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 week ago:
But this is self hosting.
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 week ago:
I have wireguard on my router. To me it makes sense. If my router is down, nothing inside my network is reachable anyway. If I’m going through my router, anything inside my network can be rebooted without effecting my connection. That said, I’m really considering using Pangolin github.com/fosrl/pangolin, and hosting it in Oracle Cloud. If you don’t know, Oracle Cloud has an extremely generous free tier. As much as I generally hate Oracle, I still recommend their free tier.
- Comment on Fresh Proxmox install w/ full disk encryption—so install Debian first, then Proxmox on top? 2 weeks ago:
If you have more than one server, running a tang server is super easy. Clevis can then be used to unlock a LUKS partition automatically on boot.
- Comment on Wikipedia pauses AI-generated summaries pilot after editors protest 2 weeks ago:
It’s also ridiculous because a lot of this is done by volunteers. It’s not like a company trying to cut costs by opting to use cheaper AI over more expensive human labor. This is adding cost to add AI.
- Comment on Wikipedia pauses AI-generated summaries pilot after editors protest 2 weeks ago:
They’re begging for donations and then turning around and wasting money on running AI? Wtf
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
What’s sad is what got you into this situation to begin with. Work shouldn’t define who you are.
- Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 4 weeks ago:
They certainly didn’t help it by weighing it down with more and more ads.
- Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 4 weeks ago:
To be fair, they kind of have to pivot from search at this point. More and more people are using alternative ways to find information. That cash cow is dying.
- Comment on Garage - S3-compatible Object Storage alternative to Minio 4 weeks ago:
Well, that’s good to hear. Maybe I only see people post when things aren’t working, because that’s when people are most likely to post. This project mentions geo replication, does Minio replicate as well?
- Comment on Garage - S3-compatible Object Storage alternative to Minio 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t heard much good about Minio. I would also be curious about this project.

Too late for me.
- Comment on Italian style pizza 5 weeks ago:
I fully expect it will taste awful. I don’t like cheddar on pizza. But I would still give it a try.
Side note, the cheese doesn’t have to be mozzarella. My favorite style of pizza is Detroit and that uses brick. Goat cheese on pizza is fantastic too.
- Comment on OpenAI plans massive UAE data center project 5 weeks ago:
Like the UAE?
- Comment on OpenAI plans massive UAE data center project 5 weeks ago:
On one hand, there is a lot of potential to use solar power. On the other hand, cooling that isn’t going to be a bitch.
- Comment on Italian style pizza 5 weeks ago:
I like Cheez-Its enough that I would try it. I’m positive I won’t like it, but I would give it a go.
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
Yep, some people sort of miss the point of microservices and make some fairly monolithic containers. Or they’re legacy apps being shoehorned into a container. Some things still require handholding. FreeIPA is a good example. They have a container version, but it’s just a monolithic install in a container and only recommended for testing.
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
Containerfiles are super easy to write. For the most part if you can do it in a VM, you can do it in a container. This sort of thing is why you would move to containers. Instead of being the “expert” in all the apps you run, you can focus on the things that actually need your attention.
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
I literally get paid to do this type of work and there is no way for me to be an expert in all the services that our platform runs. Again, that’s kind of the point. Let the person who writes the container be the expert. I’ll provide the platform, the maintenance, upgrades, etc… the developer can provide the expertise in their app.
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
Correct, not all containers are for services. I would never say that docker is superior. I would however say that containers are (I can be pedantic too). They’re version-controlled, they come with the correct dependencies, etc… There are many reasons why developing with containers is superior and I’m sure you’re aware of them already. Everyone is moving to do exactly that. There are always edge cases, but those are few and far between these days.
