The growing Chinese nuclear arsenal unrestricted by cold war-era treaties is the more pressing concern in nuclear arms (de)escalation.

The only mayor candidate capable of standing up to Trump

I think having a progress bar for project 2025 is a bit disingenuous. There has a been a ton of damage to NIH, but that site says nothing has happened to NIH yet.

The 15% tariff is probably a positive thing. It’s motivation for European companies to find customers outside of the US and eventually decouple, without the shock of a total embargo.

Ew, Theo Von

it would be nice if people didn’t use AI to write their articles.

I would probably remove python 2 support, it was end of life when the project was started.

I dont think Immich supports turning a normal account into an sso account, though it may be possible with manual database editing.

I believe only the controller needs cooling, not the dies.

Kubernetes is great for single nodes! It definitely is more advanced than docker compose, but it’s actually not hard at all if you read through the documentation. It definitely makes running containers easier in the long run.

Here is my git repo for my big Kubernetes cluster at home: https://codeberg.org/jlh/h5b/src/branch/main/argo/custom_applications

It started out as just a NFS server and a Kubernetes server running on Proxmox in 2021.

It’s not going to make a meaningful difference in your threat model and it will cause a lot of hassle for extra configuration and broken docker images, so I wouldn’t bother.

There is some nice tooling for transparent user name spaces coming down the pipeline in Kubernetes which will be a nice 0-effort security upgrade, but if you don’t have the tooling, I would say it’s not worth it.

SSDs are getting crazy cheap.

If you need 10tb of storage, you could get 2x used 10tb hdds in raid 1 for $200, but 6x used 2tb nvme in raid 5 is only $600 and 100x faster. Both take up the same amount of space.

SMR is designed for enterprise raid that is SMR-aware.

I’m not aware of any open-source zoned storage raid but I think Ceph is planning to add support next month.

Hetzner Storage box is $20/month for 10tb.

Almost as if they only believe in a free market when it benefits them

It is insane that Sweden has managed to export this problem to the US

They literally campaigned on a slogan saying that doubling the prison time would cut crime in half. Insanity.

The memo in question:

1. Yes.
2. Yes, and if you want custom configuration, you can include your configuration in-line in the same file that installs the http server and sets up systemd for it. Or you can even write your own module that drops configuration files in the same file.
3. Home-manager modules are modules that run stuff exclusively in ~, doing things like configuring browsers or dotfiles. As opposed to NixOS modules which configure system-level daemons.

Ah cool, I’ll check it out.
