  This is what I was thinking… they didn’t get rid of gravity. Also, who pees on the wall, even without a coating it’s going to splash at least a little.

  Someone has to rip it in the first place.

  I prefer to rip my own, as well as CD’s and DVD’s I already own. I also do a lot with retro hardware that doesn’t always have a USB port.

  BluRays are also fairly decent for offline, offsite backups, though writable media is getting expensive.

  My biggest use case for a smartphone is MFA for work, so if I can convince them to give me a yubikey instead, I’d be interested.

  I honestly don’t know why they even list the birth year. It explicitly states “8 Year Olds”, we can do the math.

  I believe they say it’s only for the pregnant mothers taking it causing autism to their unborn babies.

  This perfectly fits into all MAGA’s Project 2025 tenants:

  • Women don’t matter and Women’s healthcare should be reduced and their bodies controlled
  • Don’t care about babies that have been born, just the unborn ones
  • Blame things without any evidence to enforce solutions that profit the companies who pay into the administration and people who have been appointed there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitOps for docker compose stacks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently, I have a 3 node Proxmox cluster with 6 kube nodes on it (3 masters, 3 workers). Lets me do things like migrate services off of a host so I can take it out, do upgrades/maintenance, and put it back without hearing about downtime from the family/friends.

  For storage, I’ve got a Synology NAS with NFS setup and then the pods are configured to use that for their storage if they need it (So, Jellyfin, Immich, etc). I do regular backups of the NAS with rsync. So, if that goes down, I can restore or standup a new NAS with NFS and it’ll be back to normal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitOps for docker compose stacks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If feel like, for me at least, GitOps for containers is peace of mind. I run a small Kubernetes cluster as my home lab, and all the configs are in git. If need be, I know (because i tested it) if something happens to the cluster and I lose it all, I can spin up a new cluster and apply the configs from git and be back up and running. Because I do deployments directly from git, I know that everything in git is up to date and versioned so i can roll back.

  I previously ran a set of docker containers with compose and then swarm, and I always worried something wouldn’t be recoverable. Adding GitOps here reduced my “What If?” Quotient tremendously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Cook, Sam Altman, and more attend Trump's UK state banquet⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point, I feel like its gone from “these companies are disgusting kissing up to the orange one” to “if they don’t go, they’re risking being on the receiving end of a massive company ending lawsuit/cancel war from the right and his Orangeness.”

  Both are disappointing and I’d rather go elsewhere, but the second is far more dystopian and probably more reflective of the current state of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dint do calls often at all, so a flip/dumb phone doesn’t appeal to me much. However, i have been very tempted to upgrade my existing smart watch to one with LTE connectivity and skip the smart phone completely.

  The Apple watch, for instance, with LTE can do maps/directions, calls, texts, etc., without needing a smartphone near by. It would be much less to carry, less distractions, and way more convenient.

  The bug thing it can’t currently do, however, is MFA for my job. It can do Authy and many others, but the one we require doesn’t work, I’ve tried many times, so I’m stuck carrying a smartphone around if I want to remain employed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backing up easily⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use an rsync job to do it. Rsync by default uses the files metadata to determine if the file has changed or not and updates based on that. You can opt to use checksums instead if you’d rather. IIRC, you can do it with a Synology task, or just do it yourself on the command line. Ive got a Jenkins setup to run it so i can gather the logs and not have to remember the command all the time (and i use it for other periodic jobs as well), but its pretty straightforward on its own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify Add Lossless Audio(24-bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC) for Premium Subscribers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would if they didn’t lose me a long time ago. On bluetooth headphones it doesnt make a huge difference. But I used to stream to my Home Theater setup and Spotify sounded horrible compared to the source material. I could also tell a difference with a quality headphone amp and my 250ohm DT770 pros.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TPU trouble, mostly dialed in but...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Supports? I’m guessing no, and Ive had issues with TPU and overhangs like the bow there myself. TPU is flexible and thus sags more when printing overhangs.

  I’ll take one! Well, two really. One large one for TV/media viewing and one to replace my 43" 4k monitor. Quadrupling the resolution on that would be amazing.

  The difference would be minimal on the media screen, TBH, but Ive seen them in person and can tell the difference. It’s just not a bug enough difference to warrant replacing what I have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1U mini PC for AI?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, If you are eiving into Kubernetes, just add some more of those 1L PCs in there. I tend to find them on ebay cheaper than Pi’s. Last year I snagged 4x 1L Dells with 16GB RAM for $250 shipped. I swapped some RAM around, added some new SSD’s and now have 3x Kube masters, 3x Kube worker nodes and a few VMs running a Proxmox cluster across 3 of the 1L’s with 32GB and a 512GbB SSD each and its been great. The other one became my wife’s new desktop.

  Big plus, there are so many more x86_64 containers out there compared to Pi compatible ARM ones.
