  Thank you!

  You’re not being kind by doing this! You’re being kind to the one person you see but being an asshole to everyone behind you! Follow the rules of the road and everyone will get on better.

  Bah what do you mean? They’re only losing… all of their institutional knowledge, handing off a complex piece of software to a more junior, less qualified, probably offshore team.

  This is a cause for celebration! Bonuses for the MBA who came up with this idea!

  Honestly I’d be fine if it were hallmark movies. This is pure christian propaganda - very clear jabs that if you aren’t christian then you are not happy. Take the lame hallmark plots that are fine, but then add in that they finding jesus suddenly made them happy, they gave up all of their non christian friends, and renounced their old life type stuff. Face value it’s fine, but the undertone is just vile to me.

  That’s the end of their fiscal year, so wouldn’t be surprised, especially with the “announcement” date coming this year. I just hope EA doesn’t bungle this release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you handle family requests that you disagree with?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a good idea, and an approach I’m going to think about and probably take. Then it’s away from everything else, and not polluting my actual good movies.

  Good level headed reply, I like this. Others have suggested that as well, I’ll move the crud over to her own library, then it doesn’t pollute my main library and I can hide it from the others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Distro for Jellyfin HTPC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, definitely an issue. I’m slowly building up a new rig just for that, and I’m going team red for that build. Honestly the new AMD GPUs are just tanks, and they take on all but the most high end NVidia ones. Doesn’t help if you already have a GPU, but if you’re in the market I can tell you it’s pretty dang awesome. I have looked into Bazzite too, Chimera seems a bit more synced with SteamOS which is why I like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Distro for Jellyfin HTPC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m looking at chimera. Mostly because I also want to use the same machine for gaming, and since chimera boots right to steam, then I could add an entry for jellyfin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse Apps on Kubernetes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve done… an annoying amount of them now. I hope my trials help you.

  Be ready, it’s a very annoying and slow process, watching logs, figuring out why things are failing, debugging, githubs, everything. I just did one last week that was saying that it couldn’t write to /etc/passXXXXX, and it took 2 hours to track down that there was an optional command I could pass in that would change the running user of the container I was running (separate from the kube user). It’s a slog, but when you get it running it’s a rush of endorphins.

  Biggest thing - kubernetes is a read-only file system compared to docker. So, for good devs they minimize writes to the filesystem unless they have to, and keep them localized. For bad devs, they write everywhere - and that gets sticky fast. So, if you’re getting write errors, know that there’s probably another volume you need to attach. The kicker is knowing which ones can be an emptyDir scratch directory and which ones actually need to persist. If you have a docker-compose file it’s a great place to start, just set all the volumes to emptyDir to start off with.

  Good luck!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse Apps on Kubernetes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I start simple with mine. Start with the deployment, just getting the pod up and running, completely stateless. Get that stabilized, once that’s happy then start moving onto the service, connecting to the UI. Then I finish anything else I can before adding in state - environment variables (first just in the deployment, then once that’s done worry about a config map and secrets). (Adding volumes in just complicates it because then you have to reset those volumes if you want to go back to a clean state).

  As a list:

  • Deployment (stateless) - get to not crash
  • Service - connect to it
  • Environment variables, extracting out what can be
  • Secrets, adding those to the chart
  • Volumes, adding in state
  • Move to a nice clean setup with a clean values.yaml.

  Finally, once your happy, then make it conform to other standards. Getting it stood up in k8s is the hard part, then customizing can come after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse Apps on Kubernetes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I run plenty of services in my lab on k3s. Most of them I had to manually build charts for and add them to my cluster. I doubt anyone has built charts for Lemmy, maybe mastodon. Anything that’s dockerized like Lemmy can be put into kubernetes, but it’s going to take some doing. Good luck out there, and of course if you get it working then I think the maintainers would be happy to get a helm chart merged into their repo.

  only until it becomes popular enough. Although I will say that Yuzu flew too close to the sun, not saying all the maintainers, but several of them were openly for piracy and for the latest generation stuff. That’s stuff that will get you taken down immediately. Fly under the radar, keep it about older games, and usually no one cares. They started taking a bite out of switch profits though, and that wasn’t good for big N

  Legendary edition is one of the few good remasters that have been done. Yes there is drm and promotion garbage, and I’d say be hesitant about it if I were paying full price.

  For 90% off for an opportunity to play one of the best gaming series of all time? Just go for it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game of Thrones reportedly has an MMO in the works, nearly a decade after the last one was cancelled⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was going to put HBO and DirecTV on the map, they were top tier streaming back then. If you didn’t have HBO you clearly didn’t like quality TV. Netflix was ahead sure in terms of subscribers, but HBO was the elite tier that everyone wanted.

  Now look at it, 7th or 8th tier and bullshit discovery shows. It’s honestly hard for me to think of another company that fucked up the huge of a lead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proxmox Disk Performance Problems⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had bad luck with ZFS on proxmox because of all of the overhead, I found with my tiny cluster it was better to do good old ext4 and then just do regular backups. ZFS actually killed quite a few of my drives because of it’s heavyweight. Not saying that’s your problem, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proxmox Disk Performance Problems⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  (If it’s not failing, which would be the first thing I’d check)

  Do you have any new VMs up and running. IO was the bane of my existence with proxmox, but realized it’s just that VMs eat a ton of IO, especially with ZFS. A standard HDD won’t cut it (unless you have one and only one VM using that disk). Even sata SSDs just didn’t cut it over time, I had to build a full raid that would support 5-10 VMs on it before I saw IO wait drop enough.
