clvx··on Newest Linux Gaming Predictions for 2023
Even people disagree with snap I look forward to it for this specific use case. I want parts of my system to be stable and LTS and others to be pulling the latest features. On top of this a way to rollback to whichever version in a safe and reproducible manner. Rolling release is nice but sometimes it creates real headaches.
clvx··on Nextcloud and OpenBSD = <3
I wish nextcloud architecture could move to a more stateless version. It was a huge step forward allowing envars to setup the installation and using a S3 for objects as using it with containers was a PITA. There are still post installation items that don’t allow to just move the server easily. Instanceid, version and others are still generated in config/config.php. Plugins are another one. It’s definitely a great product.
clvx··on Amazon Is Running Out of Warehouse Workers. Cue the Robots
Engineers that can communicate effectively in English, work collaboratively, break cultural barriers and stick to company values are just a handful.
clvx··on Show HN: SadServers – Test your Linux troubleshooting skills
probably lxd would be better.
clvx··on Some WFH employees now live in another country
For most of these actors this is going to work just fine until their org ship a laptop with a gps device.
clvx··on LG 28-inch 16:18 DualUp Monitor
Make it vertically curve and I’m absolutely in.
clvx··on Use fzf for tmux session switching
Nice, I just extended this to kill a session too. This is great.
clvx··on I took down my Starlink dish (but haven't cancelled)
My location “didn’t have coverage” as I live at the edge of my town followed by Murdoch’s ranch next to me. I talked to the rep to the point of just let me try it as there’s nothing to lose. They already provide full refund on the product for the first 30 days. At the beginning the signal and speeds were shit(using trashcan). I installed a couple of MIMO antennas. Now, I have 30Mbs up/down consistently. I believe 5G is gonna be a game changer for rural areas. It’s just easy: plug it, turn it on, use it. No technicians, no wiring (if you don’t use antennas), no fixed place in your house.

Also check cellmapper to check for near by antennas and bands. More info in r/tmobileisp

clvx··on I took down my Starlink dish (but haven't cancelled)
Similar situation but I switched to T-Mobile. I have a Starlink order but it got delayed 6 months. At this point, I'll just cancel it because T-Mobile Home Internet is a game changer.
clvx··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
So many ifs. Look, even if you pass the school zone, kids play around. In rural areas, this is very common. Yeah, you could go at the speed limit, but people are just careful or make a judgment call.
clvx··on Tesla to recall vehicles that may disobey stop signs
Even worse, there are school signs that say 15mph when children are present. Kids could be behind cars, bushes, people, etc. That’s a very hard task to deal with.
clvx··on Please make a dumb car
More than making a dumb car, make the right to repair/replace/upgrade in case the car maker stops supporting the service; otherwise, this calls for planned obsolescence.
clvx··on Ask HN: Who wants to help promote RSS?
I’ve been using feedly for like a decade now. I also use it to discover content.
clvx··on I took a job at Amazon, only to leave after 10 months
This makes me wonder how much complexity can they grow until it's not sustainable by the culture? At what point smart talent would say enough is enough and start hiring average joe's? How would that be reflected to customers?
clvx··on WhatsApp Launches Instant Cryptocurrency Payments in the US
Can someone explain what’s the difference between this and when Telegram tried to introduce their coin?
clvx··on Nomad vs. Kubernetes
The worst part of k8s is definitely its configuration system. I don’t like helm as it’s combining packaging, templating and deployment lifecycle. I feel like each of this components should’ve been its own abstraction.
clvx··on I Built My New Linux Gaming Desktop in 2021 with AMD (CPU+GPU) and GNU Guix
I got the Asus x570 TUF. Wireless and Bluetooth work out of the box. I'm using kernel 5.11.x. Looking forward to upgrading to a newest kernel as AMD cards are better supported. The build also has an AMD 5800x, 6700xt nitro+, nvme 1TB, and celsius S36+.
clvx··on AWS's Egregious Egress
I wonder if this could be taken as IE on Windows by default. Would this be anti competitive knowing there are industry efforts to benefit customers on other big customers.
clvx··on Starlink review, four months in
Currently I have no caps on T-Mobile. I understand Starlink plans to have caps at some point.
clvx··on Starlink review, four months in
I’m in a rural area in Montana and luckily I have access to a 5G tower. My impression is if you are close to one, it’s better and cheaper than going with Starlink even if you have to pay extra money to set up an external MIMO antenna to improve your signal.

I think Starlink is useful in many areas and industries, but 5G home internet is reliable for many cases at least in the US. Starlink will do great in the South hemisphere where providers struggle even in metropolitan areas. I see that as a huge win for many as long as the prices go down as the current prices could be a barrier for not so wealthy countries.

clvx··on The rise of E Ink Tablets and Note Takers: reMarkable 2 vs Onyx Boox Note Air
I would like remarkable 2 or any of these devices to be used as a pen tablet in an easy way with the different OS. It would make much easier drawing diagrams while working in a presentation. Even better if they at some point can be hooked to some kind of software for collaboration editing. How I see myself using it. Prepping diagrams early in the morning, pulling that on the computer, keep editing while presenting to my coworkers, let my coworkers add any other information(even better using their own devices).
clvx··on Replacing Dropbox in favor of DigitalOcean spaces
Exactly. I use Nextcloud with Spaces as a backend. It’s been sitting there for months by now.
clvx··on I no longer build software
I would like to see a tool to view the level of contributions(money, time, etc) to other projects (tech or not)of people requesting features to define a line of moral urgency.
clvx··on Kubernetes YAML Generator
https://cuelang.org/ is another option.
clvx··on Why is there only one Snap Store?
I do like the snap concept, but some implementations are just not that great. For instance, kustomize as snap doesn't let you read anything outside that is not in the snap fs. Not even in --classic mode. A similar issue happens with nextcloud which is good on paper, but if you tweak something inside the snap fs it will be overridden in the next update(expected behavior); however, for services that require mutable configuration there needs to be a way to preserve that data (I tested that nextcloud behavior more than half a year ago).
clvx··on Google to keep employees home until summer 2021
It isn't becoming normal, it's being forced due many factors: risk of getting sick with no proper treatment, possible schools not opening which forces to deal with your kids, no vaccine, etc.
clvx··on German city wants to ditch Microsoft for Linux
And back to open source.

clvx··on Why is Kubernetes getting so popular?
In a side note if you were to invest your time in writing operators, would you use kubebuilder or operator-sdk?
clvx··on Show HN: A GitOps development environment in the comfort of your own localhost
If you used fluxcd you could remove the need for terraform and keeping the state. Validation can be done with kubeval. The issue would be connecting fluxcd with the local bare repo, but it could be exposed with a reverse tunnel.
clvx··on Ask HN: Microsoft Azure is hiring only Americans?
It depends. If it’s for govcloud related work(this isn’t only DoD), then you need to be a US Person which includes residents and citizens. You also need to be located in US territory. This is due the government requirements, not a Microsoft thing.
