Oh snap, are you the developer of Viewtube? If so, first off - great job. I do the infrastructure side of IT for my day job but aside from some basic go, I couldn’t code something like this to save my life.
I wish I had the chops to contribute to the project.
Heck, you could do a pre-stage play where you delegate to localhost an ansible.builtin.get_url
to download the compose file before doing the rest.
It’s good to see left shark has joined the rat race.
Oh you sweet summer child. There is zero chance that the cost savings will be passed on to consumers. In fact, I’ll bet prices go up after an initial plateau.
At first, profits will rise due to the lack of $30/hr costs - and shareholders will celebrate the innovation.
Then when the migration to self-driving semis is complete and that profit levels out, shareholders will be pissed that the profits don’t continue to rise - so prices will rise again.
Adding to the Nazi comment - substack is basically a long form blog format, very similar (AFAICT) to Medium.
It’s anonymous bulk text posting - great for sharing logs, but don’t discount the more grey side of the internet. If you browse recent public posts there’s often some fun things like scam links, credentials, etc.
It’s definitely fallen out of favor for password dumps though.
I use skyline in our environment and man, that log collection is crutch for getting tickets updated. Oh, you need the logs? Request what you need and I’ll approve it - or I can just click a few buttons and upload the logs when I create the ticket.
Who knew such a bad movie would be such a good cautionary tale?
True, but you can (for now) buy a smart TV and never hook it up to the Internet/use the smart functions.
I have a little Linux micropc hanging off my “smart” LG TV - the TV is effectively a 52" monitor.
How are we supposed to opt out? By deleting our accounts?
At this point virtualization is legacy technology.
Man, I’d love to believe that - and please Lemmy, prove me wrong, but virtualization, especially commercial products like VMware have one huge advantage over things like kubernetes - it’s effectively plug and play and has full support available.
I would kill for a similar experience with kubes - something that I cannot for the life of me get to work in my homelab given the myriad of walkthrough in various states of accuracy.
I’m assuming that just hopping on a VPN that exits in Europe is not enough to do this right? You probably have to do a fresh install and say that your location is in the EU?
Yeah, after the yuzu debacle, if I were anywhere close to the gray side of piracy I would pull down any and all links to funding.
I’m not sure how you would actually get that necessary funding - maybe through discord links periodically?
I didn’t intend to use it on the chest freezer - it was mostly for the modem, but since I had spare battery capacity and outlets I thought what the heck.
The power load is practically nothing until it cycles, and even then it’s fairly efficient - my current runtime is estimated to be about 18 hours, more than enough to come up with an alternative if we lose power in a storm.
Seriously, make an effort. These took me 30 seconds and only a slight reprompt tweak.
While I appreciate the sentiment, most traditional VMs do not like to have their power killed (especially non-journaling file systems).
Even crash consistent applications can be impacted if the underlying host fs is affected by power loss.
I do think that backup are a valid suggestion here, provided that the backup is an interrupted by a power surge or loss.
I agree that 99.999% uptime is a pipedream for most home labs, but I personally think a UPS is worth it, if only to give yourself the option to gracefully shut down systems in the event of a power outage.
Eventually, I’ll get a working script that checks the battery backup for mains power loss and handle the graceful shutdown for me, but right now that extra 10-15 minutes of battery backup is enough for a manual effort.
This is why I have about five of these bad boys: CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD.
One is in my utility room for my cable modem and our chest freezer, three back up my homelab and wifi AP, and one is for my office.
They’ve been bulletproof through storms, and when we’ve lost power, but not Internet I can’t keep on working.
The big thing to look for is number of battery+surge outlets vs just surge outlets. Typically they top out at 1500VA - the more overhead for what you’re powering, the longer you can go without mains power.
A screen/display is helpful for at-a-glance information like expected runtime, current output, etc.
Bean does that all the time, it’s very hard to tell her no.
