This was the final straw that made me switch to Linux in fact.

Likewise, the constant finger dancing between various symbols gave me RSI and was a readability nightmare. Shame because I liked Rust as a language.

AI can be both a bubble and a useful tool at the same time, a crash won’t make us forget all about it, instead I have a feeling a crash may help mature AI the way dotcom bubble did web 2.0

Great description of a problem I noticed with most LLM generated code of any decent complexity. It will look fantastic at first but you will be truly up shit creek by the time you realise it didn’t generate a paddle.

What a great build up and a cathartic well deserved pay off

Lest this [the clapback] seem like mere high spirits and hijinks, Lee’s partner and his mother both “received harassing messages through Facebook Messenger,” while other messages targeted Lee’s son, saying things like “I would kill your f—ing n—– child” and calling him a “racemixing pussy.”

Ahhh the internet I know and love, never change

On the off chance anyone uses BorgBase for off-site backups, I would like to shamelessly plug a Prometheus exporter I wrote for monitoring your account. It exports name, available/total space and last modified time for all repos in your account.

around £17 per person according to the article

It is complete overkill for most home server tasks but I would look to run something like this for next 10 years at least so I can see it making sense if you cost it out like that.

Depends on your personal use case of course but for comparison I have a (relatively) piddly Intel N305 processor mini PC with 16GB of memory and currently run a 25-30 container load, including Plex and a torrent server. My setup currently idles at around 20% CPU and 25% memory utilisation, so I can quite confidently say the linked N5 ought to give more than enough headroom to handle a typical homelab/self hosted load.

Today I learnt, thank you.

Question please, how would podman alleviate container update woes?

I tried many different keyboards but honestly nothing matched up to SwiftKey, now sadly owned by Microsoft, so I locked its internet access using RethinkDNS (or NetGuard)

Setting a random SSH port and limiting it to 3/min saw failed login attempts fall by 99% and jailed IPs fall to 0.

A reverse proxy saves you from having to expose your services directly and acts as a go-between.

Internet <--> Reverse Proxy <--> Service

Nice tips! Personally will use SSH aliases and canonicalised hostnames.

Other topics covered in post:

• Forward Yubikey Agent
• Reuse connections
• SSH straight into tmux
• Alias commonly used hosts
• Do not add testing stuff to ~/.ssh/known_hosts
• Make connections last longer
• Canonicalize hostnames
• Yubikey and GitHub, without touching it every time

This week I finally managed to route torrent traffic through a VPS that was sitting around gathering dust. I am behind CGNAT so was taking me 6 weeks to do the kind of traffic I do in a day now. I couldn’t be more chuffed.
