You’re just driving my point home.

There’s really no reason for you to act like this. This kind of snark doesn’t endear you to anyone and it doesn’t help good faith conversion.

I think you dramatically don’t understand how different other people are compared to you. Either that, or you lack empathy. I can’t think of any other reasons why you would distrust and dismiss their reasoning.

I haven’t thought about Fear Factory in a long time.

I run Rancher Desktop on Windows… But only because my company won’t let me use Linux, and I only use it for Dev and testing.

All that to say, I have no idea why else you would be running a container engine on a Windows host.

+1 for Ubiquiti, but I’d suggest one of the cheaper models with built in WiFi unless you plan on having an intricate network.

Bazzite is phenomenal. Just know that it works a little differently than what I’d call “legacy” distros. So when googling things, just know that a lot of instructions for Linux won’t work for you.

If you run into trouble, hop on the discord and someone will help you.

I chose the middle option for things I’m not hosting, but could see myself hosting in the future.

The worst part about quadlets, IMO, is that they don’t use the same key words as podman run does. So turning a working podman container into a quadlet can be challenging.

Check out Tailscale. It uses Wireguard under the hood, but it’s magic.

containers should be immutable and not be able to write to their internal filesystem

This doesn’t jive with my understanding. Containers cannot write to the image. The image is immutable. However, a running container can write to its filesystem, but those changes are ephemeral, and will disappear if the container stops.

I sit to pee when I get up in the middle of the night. Don’t have to be able to see.

I’m not a Tor user, so please forgive my ignorance. Why would you say the browser being outdated means you were being tracked?

So, slightly tangential, but I have a failed home automation project this past week.

I have been using an unofficial integration for my mini-splits for a few years. The guy who wrote it likes to disappear for 6 months at a time and it seems like it may be abandoned. It finally stopped working after a home assistant update.

I had bought some ESP based replacement dongles about a year ago and decided to finally use them. Well, not all of the features worked, so I set about writing my own firmware.

That ended up working even less well. I wasted a lot of time and effort trying to get my firmware to work before giving up and just moving to the fork of the original Home Assistant integration for the official dongles.

I hate being beholden to third party stuff like this because I have robust automation setup for my mini-splits and updates can completely break them and be a massive pain to fix.

I’m not sad I tried and failed so much as I’m just sad it didn’t work. I may try again sometime in the future.

No reason you can’t use NixOS in a VM on Proxmox.

My container host OS is another immutable, uCore, which I run in a VM on Proxmox.

I did this recently. Opendrive is free up to 5 gb and works with rclone. All I’m backing up is the config and data needed to recreate my containerized services. I’ve even had to recreate them from the backup, once.

Please speak out acronyms once. I have no idea what ADP is.

The N100 is such a little powerhouse and I’m sad they haven’t managed to produce anything better. All of the “upgrades” are either just not enough of an upgrade for the money, it just more power hungry.

I also only brush at night with an electric toothbrush and get the same compliments from my dentist. I also keep plackers at my desk (work from home) and use them regularly. Although I’ve never told my dentist I only brush at night.

I think one thing that helps is my toothbrush does a pattern at 30 second intervals so I brush for a total of 2 minutes every time hitting each quadrant relatively evenly.

The first time I used this toothbrush, I was floored by how much cleaner my teeth felt.

That looks very similar to ntfy. I googled “gotify vs ntfy” and found this thread on reddit (ew, I know) https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/shw73e/difference_between_ntfy_and_gotify/

Con: User separation. A user can create “apps” (channels), and will receive messages posted there. Users will not receive messages posted to apps they didn’t create. I haven’t yet found a way to create shared apps, or allow multiple clients to receive notifications for a given message, and I don’t want to share client logins.

Now, this thread is 3 years old, so I don’t know if this is still the case, but this is a deal breaker for me. Several of the topic I have for ntfy are also subscribed by my wife, meaning we both get the notifications. I could just post the same message to two different topics, but that would be lame.

Ntfy, if setup correctly, uses a web socket connection, which reduces the battery usage. I don’t think I ever had it setup without that, so I can’t say how bad it is. But with it, it’s not a drain for me on a Pixel 7.
