Cook some bacon and then just use it as normal. These whole elaborate "seasoning" steps are ridiculous. I've never done a single one of them and fry up eggs in mine all the time .

Mithril is criminally underrated. Yeah it won't have the same level of community support that things like React and Vue have but it's extremely simple and concise to work with and nothing about it feels "heavy" like the former two.

By far it's my favorite tool to reach for when I need more than just plain vanilla JS.

Recently started a new frontend project with Vite, Typescript and MithrilJS and it's been a real pleasure to work with.

Contrast that to my usual dealings with Webpack I couldn't be happier.

Or some Apple TV app that constantly starts up for some reason that I can not figure out at all

FWIW with AWS, despite the naming, the IoT Core MQTT broker is an excellent product for exactly this - it's just sold as IoT specific. It's really just an MQTT broker at it's core and could probably be split off into it's own product without the IoT branding.

Ours is helpful for turning the air up or down when we leave/come home or turning it up in the morning (we cool the house off at night so it holds it longer in the day before needing to fire up).

Granted our thermostat isn't really "smart" it just has an API exposed that integrates into Home Assistant.

I wouldn't put in one of those cloud based ones like Nest or Ecobee

I never spent much time with networking so a lot of it was a bit of a mystery to me so I spent the COVID time building out really awesome but overly built network.

I learned a ton and can now actually understand what's going on under the hood!

Since then though I definitely have simplified it a lot because it was a lot to manage but it was an excellent learning experience.

This is my long winded way of saying, network engineers don't get enough praise - that shit is actually really damn difficult to get right at scale!

For me macos has easily the absolute window management of any WM system I've ever used. Everything feels unnatural and awkward and requires me to do exactly what you say, download 50 random apps to get it to behave in some even remotely reasonable way.

And if i brush the touch bar and hit a button one more time I might just chuck the thing out a window.

Seriously my Jabra's and Senny BT headphones pickup and work flawlessly with my Linux desktop.

Meanwhile my Sennhesier headphones work sometimes with my POS mac to the point where I have to tell people If i don't immediately pick up it's because I'm wasting 15 minutes trying to get my headphones to pair with my Mac.

Yeah I'm aware but I find it awkward and hard to use when I routinely have a browser and two editors open I have to remember to mentally switch keys to shift between the two sets

It's just not for me

It allows you to alt-tab through all open Windows not just Applications

Enraging is the right word for it - these two applications are the only thing keeping me from wanting to smash the Mac I have to use.

Gandi and Porkbun are my two go to registars. I dunno if I'd ever trust google with that TBH

I use docker-mailcow for pretty much everything on a 20$/m linode instance and just use Postmark to do the actual delivery.

Been sharing this setup with about 20 family/friends for a while now (5 years?)

A security company I contracted for has a policy when people are traveling to certain countries that they can't bring a company laptop or phone with them. They have to purchase a laptop while in the country to use and log onto the systems from there.

Also can't do live migrations or backups and moving storage around is a headache.

We've pretty much stopped using LXC containers in Proxmox because of all the little issues.

That's how I feel about it as well. My every day machine is Linux but I also have to use a Macbook and a Windows machine and of the three I absolutely hate using the macbook. It feels like very design choice in MacOS was purposely chosen to annoy the hell out of me.

This is great, I've been really wanting to get a dedicated media/mp3 player again after finding my little zune stuffed in a drawer (which rockbox worked on that bad boy)

I've pretty much moved back to purchasing mp3s and syncing them with my phone but I would much rather have a dedicate device for it

I just did the same thing, replaced 3 24" 1080p monitors with a single 49" ultrawide and it's been a damn game changer. Can't believe I waited so long to do it.

Yessss I have a Garmin Instinct and I love it, easily my favorite Smart watch. It's got just enough smart stuff that I'd use without a bunch of extras I'd never use.

And I charge it once a week if I'm biking a lot and using the GPS.

Discovery really is hands down the biggest issue. I follow a lot of cool blogs and read a lot of neat stuff from them, but I found them mostly by stumbling upon them on Mastodon.

Actually side note one of my favorite ways to kill time is by going to https://wiby.me and hitting "Surprise me" and reading whatever comes up. I've really discovered some quirky but extremely fun spots on the web with it.

I've used everything under the sun and for homelab use IMO nothing beats using docker-compose and salt.

1. Unless you have crazy dynamic scaling needs, there's literally no point in using k8s or nomad 2. Unless you want RBAC and fine tuned ACL, theres literally no point in using k8s or Nomad

I hate this idea that you need a Ceph cluster and a 3 node HA cluster to have a home lab.

Not saying don't do it because you want to play/test/learn any of those platforms, just that if you are going to run a server service maybe consider if you are doing it for learning a task orchestration service or just want to run XYZ reliably.

Raindrop is one of those just unicorn services for me, fits everything I want.

So much this, working off a laptop while having a proper keyboard and mouse near by seems crazy to me.

The gallery thing drives me nuts. It's so buggy on old reddit.

Also links constantly come up with backslashes in them, probably some change in the new interface and they are just letting it be broken on the old interface.

They are without a doubt just letting old reddit slowly fall apart until it's totally broken.

To add to this, why is there a giant bar still at the top when someone screen shares that you can't really get rid of. Even if you toggle it and set "focus", which you need to _every time_, there's still a (smaller) bar.

Absolutely worthless piece of software.

Yeah this kills me too, I use layering so much that switching to a standard keyboard is borderline crippling.

Still worth it though

Same for me, I find WM absolutely infuriating to use.

I have to download a 3rd party application to be able to alt-tab between windows (I will have a few firefox windows open at a time at least)

Often times i'll do the three finger swipe up thing and I'll have like 50 desktops for some reason, and you can only delete them one at a time.

And why does the dock keep the icon of every app I open and close.

I just don't get it, and I'm glad i3/sway exists.

Yeah easily the most annoying hardware we have to manage to the point where we will no longer use it.

I've always found the Ubiquiti interface flashy but borderline unusable. Things are scattered everywhere to the point you need 26 clicks to get to anything and they keep moving things around (especially their awful cloud UI for the UDM)
