  I hate to say it but its kind of true.

  I have zero care nor concern about what I wear on video, and that includes some pretty hefty level clientele. I was on with some c suite assholes the other day while wearing a TMNT hoodie to explain how they wasted a bunch of money on a bad design and now they need to spend more.

  Not one comment and they signed the contract the following morning.

  I think its because the people who truly do not give a shit are the ones most capable.

  (Caveat: I’m only good and known at the stupid shit that I do, and consider myself 100% dumbass for those things that are not what I do.)

  5 channels here!

  Well, technically. They drop out more often than not so its essentially worthless. To get decent reception, I’d need to go to a motorized high gain directional.

  Its been quite a few years since OTA has been a realistic option for me, and why I have had a media server since Netflix only offered DVDs by mail.

  Same! I have a veritable stack of 3b’s still, some pi 4s - all stopped by the time the 4’s compute module came out in octoberish? of 2020.

  Haven’t bought anything of theirs since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Price? Tiny/mini/micro PC

  Simple sensor use? ESP32

  Complex GPIO? Arduino is still a cheap option if you dont need it too standalone.

  Straight up pi-alikes? OrangePi is my preferred

  Most of what I personally use is esp32s and tiny/mini/micro. TMM for servers and services, esp32s for sensors, interfaces, prototyping, etc. If I need something fully standalone thats going to go in a rack or whatever, needs to be small and have all the GPIO, thats where I’ll use an orangpi, clockwork, whatever. Ive even used a tinkerboard or a Jetson (client paying obviously, because screw those prices and nvidia).

  And thats on me. I’m gonna get some radishes today while I’m briefly out in the arctic temperatures.

  • Proxmox

  • https://massgrave.dev/

  I’m using windows 10 mostly, but I have another one made recently for win 11 because of another stupid manufacturer with stupid requirements.

  Once I made the first VM, I made a clone. The clone is what gets the software installation, the original just stays stored on my NAS so I can clone again as stupid manufacturers distribute stupid software that requires windows. I name each VM based on the app its going to run.

  Some are a suite of apps and companion applications, some are just a singular application.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting paradox: Windows for specifically MS word⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So its not Word for me, but some manufacturer specific applications that dont play well in Wine or other scenarios.

  So I start the VM when I need it, use the app I need, shut it back down. The VM has no internet access, only a designated VLAN with no outbound, and any documents going to or from I use a thumb drive. Excessive, yeah, but its how things work for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PISS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For the price of a 12 pack of condoms I can get 300 water balloons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PISS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are we focused in water balloons when condoms exist? Are they too resilient?

  Water balloons are designed to be broken on impact. Condoms are engineered to be resistant to breaking.

  I’d prefer the water balloon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PISS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Requires sufficient pressure. It is easier with warm liquid though.

  Leaving it out in the cold overnight can freeze the balloon, but take care to check how thin the walls of the frozen balloon are. The goal, IMO, would be to freeze it enough to use a launcher, but not enough to be frozen solid.

  This provides a secondary benefit of unexpected shards of piss distributed at impact.

  Please note that current testing has been with standard balloons, in -5F to 15F, in the shade, with only water. Methods may be improved with water balloons - a bit smaller, with thinner latex to ensure it breaks, but more flexible, and designed to handle being filled with liquid.

  Field testing is highly recommended.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the laziest way to create a website that looks really nice and is maintainable?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You dont say what kind of website it is, just not blog or documentation style.

  But SSGs can be skinned a bunch if different ways, and have been set up for a bunch of different purposes.

  https://github.com/myles/awesome-static-generators

  I have been using Zola for myself lately, its less blog post and more article oriented, but still doc heavy. I like the duckquill theme (with… More than a few changes, but still), which I doubt fits what you want. For comparison, here is duckquill: https://duckquill.daudix.one/

  But you may like the Portio theme: https://quentin-rodriguez.github.io/portio-zola/

  If you don’t need to update often though, I think some basic html could be the way to go rather than using an ssg.

  Which apps for Lemmy have a form of karma.

  Voyager, for example, tracks how much you have upvoted or downvoted each user, which is so highly localized I can’t consider it a karma system.

  The person you replied to is probably mad because they get down voted a lot for being shitty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unifi Teleport⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My setup doesnt matter, I don’t use Unifi for my main home infra.

  You can use the Unifi device itself. Teleport is just a single click Wireguard service, with no need for port forwarding or additional configuration.

  Last I saw it, you can export the config from the browser for use with client devices, you can use that with wireguard tunnel and set it as always on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unifi Teleport⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am, though I’m not using unifi.

  Teleport is just Wireguard with unifi stacked on top. You can just export the config and its literally a Wireguard connection. Unifi Teleport is just using their online services to replace a step.

  But teleport (which is Wireguard under the hood) is not meant for an always-on connection, its meant for ad-hoc connections.

  So if you want always on, export the config and run it as a Wireguard tunnel. Its exactly the same service, running on exactly the same device, without using wifiman and allowing for an always on VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unifi Teleport⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want it to run all the time, I’d export the config file and use Wireguard tunnel rather than wifiman for teleport.

  VPN only access for just you is a perfectly appropriate solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unifi Teleport⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unifi teleport is a Wireguard VPN.

  If you want to access your internal devices/services from elsewhere, and dont require public internet access, yes, this is perfectly fine.

  Traefik (and other proxy tools) are generally used for public internet based access, not VPN.
