Observability is a capability my last employer really fucked up. I would have loved this power.

Trying to figure out wtf is going on with database locks, or celery tasks you can’t find in the dashboard, was like blindfold surgery.

Fat chance that team would use elixir, though. Nothing more esoteric than python.

Ahhh, thanks! Please excuse my error - I am attempting to perform computation using a kilo of wet squidgy protein and fat.

Deliberately duplicate a mac address, and worse, deliberately pick a device that’s definitely going to be online in the same network segment?

At first I thought you were either trolling or profoundly ignorant.

Then I remembered that wifi is CSMA, and thought, hang on… is this actually a genius idea? Has this user come up with a hack that no-one else knows about? So I tried it.

It doesn’t work. I couldn’t even join.

So no, you are either trolling or ignorant.

Hers some discussion and links, for anyone interested: https://superuser.com/questions/1132935/duplicate-mac-on-a-wifi-network-problems

Great boast for privacy. Removes a lot of attack surface that law could exploit. And potentially reduces running costs, too.

Glad to hear you’re building the kernel too.

Long-time pwsh user here. I’d be all-in on nushell if I weren’t already getting all those benefits.

This is non-negotiable. When I touch bash - or zsh - I feel like I’ve visited a banana republic.

TFA says about pwsh: “not all features work on Linux” - be fair, those are system administration features, not shell or language features. They are things you need external utilities for in all shells on Linux. Like, no shit the AppX module doesn’t work…!

I do still keep nushell on my radar because pwsh is not the quickest. I’d be happy to use it if pwsh is ever blocked on some machine I need to use.

Oh, the FDA turned a blind eye, did they?

Hmm. I run mine off a usb3 ssd and it’s faster, but still slow.

It’s OK, but I’d suggest:

Atom > arm64 > arm32

I ran on a Pi 4, but switched to a PC for jellyfin. The pi can’t transcode for shit. It was slow to boot and slow over SSH.

Look for a NUC - they’re designed for desktop use, so they have more poke than a Pi. The N6005 CPU is a good choice, the N5105 is ok. These are x64, so you’ll have the widest range of packages. 4GB will do, if its upgradeable later. NUCs usually take SODIMMs, which you can pick up on ebay for peanuts.

Bear in mind that network chipset will be your bottleneck in some use cases. If it has a “gigabit port” but only a cheap chipset, and you use it as a router, you might max out at ADSL speeds… in that case you’ll wish you’d gone for a box designed for soft routing, which are a fair bit pricier.

Pi is not the only SoC, merely the best-known.

I’d earn anyone thinking of buying a Pi for a home server: ARM is widely supported, but you might regret investing in arm32. Atom is a safer choice.

They don’t supply PoE, mind.

I’m planning an ubiquiti deployment:

• 5-6x AP 6 Pro (haven’t done survey yet)
• 1x TL-SG1016PE PoE switch (yuck, but cheap)
• 1x R86S running opnsense and docker VMs, with unifi controller and pihole in docker

The R86S is the same price as the dream machine, but good luck running pihole on the DM.

I considered Mikrotik, but my mum would have to call me every time there was an issue, and it would only be marginally cheaper. I expect any competent local tech to be able to support unifi and opnsense.

There are many similar. The best is GoWin R86S

…or MIPS…

Big fan of Mikrotik, but it helps to have some experience.

Haven’t tried hex, but RB2011 would be my default recommendation, and I’ve seen RB4009 for ~£120 (bargain of the century!)

When you’re dying of cancer, we won’t experiment on you with chemo either. Fair?

Try visiting Belsen or Dachau, you fucking child.

Very happy with runbox.com. Hosted in Sweden, reasonable price, and - unlike proton - you can use your own frigging mail client

I’ve held off on buying a printer because most of the applications I’d want to make parts for require metal of decent strength.

A laser cutter would be more useful to me. Looking forward to developments in this market.

No way they want out.

Adobe has no other rivals (gimp is miles away).

This isn’t the value of Figma - it’s the value of maintaining a monopoly.
