k_bx··on Russia's economy has entered the death zone
Thank you sir, I wish your words will eventually come true
k_bx··on Russia's economy has entered the death zone
As a Ukrainian at war since day 1 – I don't buy it. They will sell their gas at discount to China until the very end. Military force is the only way to get them to the death zone.
k_bx··on Xcode 26.3 – Developers can leverage coding agents directly in Xcode
When I see Activity Monitor that doesn't show tabs until you nearly go full screen – all I can think is that this shit product was built even before vibecoding was a thing. Truly ahead of its time.
k_bx··on Netbird – Open Source Zero Trust Networking
Thanks, I'll soon get to try this out hopefully!
k_bx··on Netbird – Open Source Zero Trust Networking
I want my CI containers created per branch/PR to have their own Tailscale domain, so logging them in is useful via non-expiring key. Only good option I've seen previously is to notify every 90 days when key expires.
k_bx··on France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.
I love Scaleway, been using it since micro ARM64 bare metal offerings they've now deprecated. Just saw Outscale in one of the announcements thus the reason I've checked them out.

Obviously, Hetzner is also great, as a European example.

So I've opened their AWS replacement website (Outscale), Computing page.

No dedicated servers (VM only). Ok let's check VM price https://en.outscale.com/customized-virtual-machines/

Press the "Do you have a Cloud Project?" which is the only button? Oops! Something went wrong here.

Is this supposed to be an AWS replacement?

k_bx··on Bugs Apple loves
My iPhone and macOS stopped syncing my main iCloud calendar. Isn't that crazy? How is this even possible at company such as Apple?

I'm Ukrainian and my Apple Notes aren't searching case-insensitively. How could such large company not implement case insensitive search for Cyrillic?

k_bx··on Understanding ZFS Scrubs and Data Integrity
Didn't know about the logger script, looks nice. Can it wrap the launch of the scrub itself so that it logs like logger too, or do you separately track its stdout/stderr when something happens?

update: figured how you can improve that call to add logs to logger

k_bx··on Show HN: Ferrite – Markdown editor in Rust with native Mermaid diagram rendering
Awesome, initially it looked like a quick AI-generated project but I see you care about it and plan investing the effort into it. Will be following on Github!
k_bx··on I Cannot SSH into My Server Anymore (and That's Fine)
I use it for professional use, running production services which don't require 99.999 availability and have relatively low traffic, basically some internal dashboards and tools.

I develop my programs as deb/systemd packages and deploy in "fat" ubuntu/debian incus containers.

I have a cluster with three machines where one is used for build-containers and second for production containers. I am looking forward having time to have ZFS streaming incremental backup of the containers.

For big servers I use Proxmox, which is great, but Incus (and IncusOS) feel a bit more futuristic, where Proxmox is more bullet-proof enterprise solution.

k_bx··on I Cannot SSH into My Server Anymore (and That's Fine)
I am also slowly preparing myself to the world where there is no SSH into the server machine. I am following what's happening around IncusOS. Already sold on Incus for my containers, it does make sense on a paper: safe auto-updates, no manual key management, all you need is managed via API in a cluster (usually).

Main priority would be the editor itself to be similar to Obsidian (with links etc.) but maybe better, Obsidian is annoying for example when you edit a TODO list (which is 99% of the time for me), go to the beginning of the line, then press down to go to the next item -- Obsidian jumps into position between "- [ ] " and "item text", instead of staying at line beginning. Long story short, many small details to make this right.
k_bx··on Replace the Retiring Windows XP with Linux (2014)
Loving the "ubuntu unleashed" recommendation at the end

I want cold storage encryption which is cross-platform and doesn't require FUSE and such. Current solutions are all either non-cross-platform or overkill, so I'm still using Obsidian non-encrypted. It's a matter of default and ease of use.

That said, I've checked Ferrite out – unfortunately there's a very long way to go before it becomes Obsidian-ish (left and right panel, add tabs, hide the top formatting bar), better focus on those features. If it becomes close enough – I'll implement the encryption myself :)

We need privacy-focused Obsidian alternative (which doesn't store unencrypted text files on disk), excited to see a potential player written in my tech stack, meaning it should be easy to extend!
k_bx··on Show HN: Hosting 100 Linux dev environments on one VM using LXC
We're not talking VM vs containers. We're talking VM vs no VM at all in base system.
k_bx··on Show HN: Hosting 100 Linux dev environments on one VM using LXC
Why would I need a VM? I just install Proxmox on a computer/server and then create as many containers as I need. No VMs at all. VM is a waste.
k_bx··on Show HN: Hosting 100 Linux dev environments on one VM using LXC
This reads like an AI-generated reply. It repeats the points which are already present in Incus/Proxmox and doesn't directly address the question.
k_bx··on Show HN: Hosting 100 Linux dev environments on one VM using LXC
I use Incus and Proxmox for this, more mature and have quite a bit built around them. What does Containarium bring to the table compared to them?
k_bx··on Oh My Zsh adds bloat
I'm using fzf and it's amazing. What does atuin bring additionally? Looks very similar
k_bx··on Oh My Zsh adds bloat
I've discovered plugins zsh-autosuggestions and fzf (available out of the box) and OH MY ZSH am I impressed with my quality of life improvement.
k_bx··on Linux is good now
Try Pop OS 24.04
k_bx··on GPT-5.2-Codex
I later realized the missing opportunity to reply "You're absolutely right! I did use the "astounding" word too repetatively :D
k_bx··on GPT-5.2-Codex
Can't see the original comment, is that about my usage of the "astounding" word? I am Ukrainian (not a native speaker), and it popped up subconsciously, but now that I see it it another comment – very likely I just read it, that's why indeed! Amazing
k_bx··on GPT-5.2-Codex
Codex code review has been astounding for my distributed team of devs. Very well spent money.
k_bx··on GPT-5.2
gpt-5.2 is already present in codex at this moment
k_bx··on Twelve Days of Shell
Shell quotes is the last frontier LLM's seem to keep getting wrong. Esp when it's Github CI yaml which needs to ssh somewhere and run command running another command there. Needs AGI apparrently.
k_bx··on Iced 0.14 has been released (Rust GUI library)
I'd rather use Tauri with any web front-end like React (which we do in my company)
k_bx··on Iced 0.14 has been released (Rust GUI library)
The COSMIC DE (by System76, default in Pop_OS distro) is written using their iced fork, which hopefully will be upstreamed eventually.
