Queue29on Bizarre and unusual uses of DNS

Similar idea: This runs as a cron/systemd timer and updates your authorized_keys from your GitHub account.

> You can have multiples tabs in different containers in a single window.

I literally want the _opposite_ of that. Chrome makes it so that a Window is specific to a profile. Makes it very simple to keep say Work and Home profiles separate, for example. Especially if you set color schemes for each window.

Queue29on Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?

https://github.com/shoenig/donutdns

I wanted a no-nonsense single-binary alternative to pi-hole (based on CoreDNS).

Been using this as my home DNS server for a year now without issue. Recently added support for reading a directory of block lists, so now it's easy to keep things organized in blocking sites with huge numbers of domains.

Yes it is. Stop using C.

Queue29on Helix: Post-Modern Text Editor

Started using helix as my $EDITOR a few weeks ago and so far I love it.

Especially 'hx --health' and its built-in ability to use many language LSP's.

My helix config file is literally 3 lines long, and with that I get full language support.

Queue29on Nvidia’s hot adapter for the GeForce RTX 4090 with a built-in breaking point

AMD open sourced their drivers and maintains them directly in the kernel now, ever since 2017. No issues at all for me using Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04, which uses Wayland and GPU rendering by default.

I use a rx6400 to drive 2 4k displays, and it works great. Out of the box Linux support, too.

This post is really difficult to read due to the weird metaphor, which is unfortunate because it seems otherwise interesting.

Queue29on Ask HN: Go vs. Python (Docker SDK)

If your goal is to minimize lines of code, sure, Python takes the cake here.

But here's a different way of looking at it: using only Python example, can you identify every way that launching that container might fail?

Now do the same with the Go example. See the difference? Folks who value looking at a piece of code and knowing what might happen - not just in the happy path but also in the error path - I think will likely appreciate the Go sample.

Queue29on Ask HN: Which VM orchestrator do you use?

Check out the recommended requirements[0] documentation. In practice it depends greatly on how many client agents you want to manage (i.e. how large is your cluster). I personally run Nomad + Consul + Vault on the $6 AMD DO droplet to run a few website, and that node still has room to spare.

Queue29on Ask HN: Which VM orchestrator do you use?

Nomad engineer here; Nomad supports Task Driver[0] plugins enabling you to orchestrate anything you need it to. Nomad ships with a QEMU task driver[1] built in.

Can you clarify why what Go is doing is only semver-"ish"?

I'm in the same boat as OP. When I type "calc", I want the calculator. LibreOffice Calc is on my list of things to immediately remove on every reformat.
