Make your own dockerfile, and the first line will be FROM <upstream>. Then make your changes.

Web devs too

Eh, RPI pushes you to use a microSD card which sucks in a few ways. They also aren’t all that cheap.

Used thin client is the way to go

I used supermaven (copilot competitor) for awhile and it was sorta ok sometimes, but I turned it off when I realized I’d forgotten how to write a switch case. Autocomplete doesn’t know your intent, so it introduces a lot of noise that I prefer to do without.

I’ve been trying out Claude code for a couple months and I think I like it ok for some tasks. If you use it to do your typing rather than your thinking, then it’s pretty decent. Give it small tasks with detailed instructions and you generally get good results. The problem is that it’s most tempting to use when you don’t have the problem figured out and you’re hoping it will, but thats when it gives you overconvoluted garbage. About half the time this garbage is more useful than starting from scratch.

It’s good at sorting out boilerplate and following explicit patterns that you’ve already created. It’s not good at inventing and implementing those patterns in the first place.

You’re just repeating the definition that I’ve already made clear I disagree with. This definition isn’t science, it’s taxonomy. Taxonomy is just a tool; we group similar entities together so we can characterize them. A body’s orbit and neighbors aren’t as important for that purpose as other attributes like size and composition.

Should they be considered planets? No, of course not.

Why not?

how round is round enough?

I’m sure the IAU can come up with a suitable boundary. The lines are always fuzzy.

I’m saying that (many) moons are planets too. Anything big enough to be round, but not big enough to burn hydrogen, should be a planet regardless of where it orbits.

Why does the definition involve location? Intrinsic properties make more sense. Who cares what it orbits or what else is is in a similar orbit?

They should have done that

And the IAU got it wrong when they reclassified Pluto. Jupiter and mercury belong in the same category but the moon and mercury don’t? Get the fuck outta here

Rust people seem to be focused mostly on identity politics and dividing people into groups that are then supposed to fight each other.

Yeah, this guy can eat my entire ass. This is the same language that fascists use to delegitimize anyone who isn’t straight and white.

Yeah, syncthing can do all of that except public share links. Run an instance on your NAS so there is always a sync target online.

I strongly recommend ZFS as a filesystem for this as it can handle your sync, backup, and quota needs very well. It also has data integrity guarantees that should frankly be table stakes in this application. Truenas is an easy way to accomplish this, and it can run docker containers and VMs if you like.

Tailscale is a great way to connect them all, and connect to your nas when you aren’t home. You can share devices between tailnets, so you don’t all have to be on the same Tailscale account.

I’ll caution against nextcloud, it has a zillion features but in my experience it isn’t actually that good at syncing files. It’s complicated to set up, complicated to maintain, and there are frequent bugs. Consider just using SMB file sharing (built into truenas), or an application that only syncs files without trying to be an entire office suite as well.

For your drive layouts, I’d go with big drives in a mirror. This keeps your power and physical space requirements low. If you want, ZFS can also transparently put metadata and small files on SSDs for better latency and less drive thrashing. (These should also be mirrored.) Do not add an L2ARC drive, it is rarely helpful.

The boxes are kinda up to you. Avoid USB enclosures if at all possible. Truenas can be installed on most prebuilt NAS boxes other than synology, presuming it meets the requirements. You can also build your own. Hot swap is nice, and a must-have if you need normies to work on it. Label the drive serial number on the outside so you can tell them apart. Don’t go for less than 4 bays, and more is better even if you don’t need them yet. You want as much RAM as feasibly possible; ZFS uses it for caching, and it gives you room to run containers and VMs.

I fucking hate algorithm speak so much

I mean if it’s worked without modification for 6 years….

Does what I want and gets out of my way.

Life is too short to wash spoons with your hands.

Don’t pre-rinse, just scrape the bigger bits into the trash. If your dishwasher can’t handle it there’s something wrong with it.

but they aren’t parallel

Yeah, I’ll probably switch eventually I’m just trying to talk myself out of it because I don’t have the time to learn right now

I have a desktop, laptop, and a few VMs and servery things. Dotfile manager (yadm, which is a git wrapper) to sync personal settings, everything else I just do manually. The system-level configs are either different enough that standardizing them isn’t very helpful, or no more complicated than installing packages and activating services.
