I’m so shocked.

I use a mix of docker containers and pods (with quadlets). I actually prefer quadlets where I can use them, though.

Containers are no crutch. I love containers and use them for everything. They’ve fully replaced VMs and bare metal for me, they’re just easier to use and manage. Honestly if that’s what’s stopping you from experiencing the best open source image software I’ve ever used, it’s your loss.

I picked unRAID to be able to mix disk sizes. It also requires little maintenance in my experience, so that’s also a plus.

You miss my point. My original comment says as much, that the subsidies all went to big telecom, but it should have gone to local utility districts for local buildouts of fiber. I’m literally sending this message from my LUD-funded fiber that my state subsidized, and my ISP is a local company exclusive to my county’s fiber network. It’s fantastic, and what should be getting the funding instead of Comcast, Time Warner, and now SpaceX.

Most of the addresses my LUD serves are unincorporated, including mine. So, it actually is possible, if your state and county give enough of a shit.

That’s what the subsidies are for. Plus, fiber does not necessarily need to be upgraded after installation (especially rural, where there’s less customers in general). It’s not copper or coax, it doesn’t have the same limits, and can usually handle huge amounts of data (the limit primarily being the transceivers at both ends). The costs of upgrading would also likely be lower than the initial install, something that couldn’t be said about providers like Starlink. Fiber is about the most efficient, cost effective (especially in the long term), and future proof way to provide internet. Starlink is overall much more expensive to maintain.

But yes, without the local, state, and/or federal governments supporting it, people in rural areas won’t have a choice.

We can definitely afford it, especially with LUDs plus federal subsidies. That’s literally what they’re for.

Fiber should be deployed to rural addresses like yours (and should’ve been a long time ago). Instead, that money was funneled to the likes of Time Warner and Comcast who never even followed through on their part of the deal. Now, SpaceX is getting funneled the cash.

I’m super thankful that WA State supports and gives assistance to counties building out public LUDs for fiber access, many paying attention to rural communities first. I escaped Comcast two years ago because of it.

If the wind ever changes I hope that people actually call them out for their bullshit and avoid believing their future BS.

Did you enable the AI black hole/tarpit? It’s the main reason I’ve used their stuff.

Current gen models got less accurate and hallucinated at a higher rate compared to the last ones, from experience and from openai. I think it’s either because they’re trying to see how far they can squeeze the models, or because it’s starting to eat its own slop found while crawling.

jfc, why are you so angry?

I’m not alone! My local coffee stand baristas have an insane memory and know all of the regulars by name. I could never have that kind of memory (likely attributed to decades of smoking the devil’s lettuce)

I personally use harbor freight steel ammo cans for almost all of my lithium batteries at this point, except for my active phone (which is not a pixel 6a)

You do not need to back up your OS, only your personal files.

Quadlets changed my life.

Tax breaks for the rich.

The (wildcard) certs are the same, as it’s what caddy is pulling via API. You can either build the cloudflare module into caddy via docker build, or use a prebuilt version. It doesn’t create two separate certs for local and remote.

It works really well for me, and is actually the most straight forward way to get valid certs for internal services I’ve found. Since they’re wildcard, my internal domains don’t get exposed through certificate authorities.

It would probably take days to rebuild the array.

It’s important to also note that RAID (or alternatives such as unRAID) are not backup systems and should not be relied on as such. If you have a severe brownout that fries more than two or three drives at once, for example, you will lose data if you’re not backing up.

Nah, as a fellow data hoarder you’re 100% correct. I have a couple of dozen disks, and I’ve had failures from both Seagate and WD, but the Seagates have failed much more often. For the past couple of years, I’ve only purchased WD for this reason. I’m down to two Seagate drives now.

I feel like many people with a distaste for WD got burned by the consumer drives (especially the WD Greens). WD’s DC line is so good though, especially HC530.
