Yeah huge fan of MikroTik stuff, all of it has been running flawlessly for me for so long.

Works great, the interfaces are a little basic, but they are extremely fast and absolutely work flawlessly.

We use UDM's at work and I really feel like they are half baked products at best. I'm really not a fan and we've stopped using them completely in new installations because of it and have gone back to MikroTik hardware which has never given us issues.

I also just find the UDMs interface an absolute shit show to navigate and find things.

Yep so I just run sonarr (for tv shows), radarr (for movies), jackett (a torrent search engine connector that the *arr apps use), deluge (for downloading things), and unpackrr (for extracting torrent rar sets) all on a single box

I have a little dashboard just providing quick links to sonarr/radarr that people can go to.

In radarr/sonarr they can search for movies and tv shows, add it to the application and it auto searches for the best download option through jackett and adds it to deluge

unpackrr will auto unpack it if it needs it

radarr/sonarr will automatically pick up the completed download and move it into the correct media directory

jellyfin/plex/whatever will pick it up and show it

everything is pretty easy to setup, i probably got it all running in 3 or 4 hours tops probably two years ago and honestly haven't touched it since.

Yeah I don't really understand their comment either - do you need a partner and kids to not be lonely? Maybe some people just enjoy the freedom of independence.

Not everyone has to subscribe to the "get married and have kids" philosophy of life.

Seriously it is some BS. I even spent like mabye an hour setting up the *arr tools and now anyone in my family can log into 1 site, find the tv/movies and hit download and it manages everything.

Yeah I find "better" quite subjective too as I tend to find Nomad better in almost every way and I run both k3s and Nomad as well, both at home and professionally.

Also the "Enterprise" features of Nomad aren't really something a home server user is going to need in the first place (Multiregion Deployments? Doubtful. Non voting servers? Also no)

I use VSCode, IntelliJ and Notepad++ all with VIM mode. VIM isn't just the editor, it's a style of editing.

Honestly if an editor doesn't have VIM mode, I don't use it.

It has no third party tool required

Kershaw Skyline for me, been my favorite go to knife forever.

Even lost it for a couple of years in the yard until the chickens dug it up one day and I just cleaned it up and it was as good as new.

Yeah i never get the love for air pods, maybe i just have weird ears but no earbud has ever fit my ear in anyway that I would be acceptable.

I have a pair of jabra active elite's that i use for working out/biking/doing crap outdoors and they are fantastic. Can't really think of a single complaint with them.

My Framework is amazing and probably one of my favorite laptops in quite some time. I think the build quality is great all things considered

> My main beef with Discord servers turning into this decade's forums is a lot of useful info is locked up and not discoverable by search engines.

This to me is by far the worst part of Discord. I'm in a few game mod specific Discord's and there is tons of info in them, but it's so hard to find and get to it might as well not even exist.

Oh shoot thank you, for some reason when I last looked it seemed it was implied you needed the whole Xcode package.

Guess I'll give that machine another go now.

I hate that you are forced to sign up for an Apple account just to install XCode which is required for Homebrew which pretty much makes the machine useless.

While not ARM powered, Framework laptops are worth a look and what I ultimately have moved to

Yeah this is what I do as well. Really honestly surprised how good it works sometimes.

Also every time there was a macos update yabai needed some kind of fixing to get back to working order.

I really want it to work because otherwise macos is unusable for me

I did that haha, picked up a 3d printer so i could increase my manufacturing abilities.

It's been really good for printing brackets and things and simple replacement parts

Same, FreshTomato is great

thank you for this, i could have used this earlier debugging wireguard config. i have never heard of this tool before and it's phenomenal

I _hate_ the Dream Machines. We've been switching to them at work and the whole cloud UI is just an absolute mess. It's so hard to find anything.

I will be sad when the last of our Mikrotik stuff gets swapped out.

I'm not really sure I follow this logic as when you buy a car you can do whatever you want to it without effecting the warranty as proven by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 which states that only if the modification is directly responsible for the issue could it be grounds to not service under warranty.

Recently I've been moving both my personal stuff and work stuff to Nomad and HCL is just SO much nicer than the convoluted YAML files that Kubernetes needs.

I know HCL gets a lot of hate around here but I find just dandy and I'd rather write HCL over YAML any day of the week.

Also to just put another thumbs up for Nomad because it's been absolutely fantastic for us and has been so much easier to manage and deploy. We've begun testing edge deployments with it as well and so far looks very promising.

Consul and Vault are also two Hasicorp products I can't live without at this point either. Vault is probably one of the first things I deploy now.

Anyway rambling, I think a lot of people just immediately jump to Kubernetes without really ever giving Nomad a look first.

What is up with Medium requiring a google or facebook account to read posts now?

I really liked longhorn but the CPU usage was ultimately too high for our use case.

Send/Recv and snapshots by far my favorite features, I keep snapshots of my root drive on my NAS so if my main m2 drive dies in my desktop, i can just boot a live cd and send/recv to my new drive and reboot and i'm back where i left off.

I also keep a clean copy of an installed debian install snapshot on my NAS so i can just send it to new machines rather than run through the whole setup. works great.

I've lost data in BTRFS setups each of the three times I've given it a try over the course of 6 or so years. Root drive just became unrecoverable. These are all single disk setups

Meanwhile I've been running ZFS for close to the same time and have never lost anything.

I get it's an anecdotal view point but that's a very hard reputation to rebuild for BTRFS.

I'm another Instinct fan, absolutely love this watch. Its just the right balance of smart watch features while not compromising on being an actual watch. I think the only real weakness is the Garmin software itself but its still decent.

Sadly most smart watches seem to be heading the direction of just being a tiny phones with apps and crap that I'll never need and the segment of people who are just looking for a few concise features in something durable and stable will eventually have no options

home depot is the same way, i bought something online on HD once and one day went in the store and bought something with the same credit card and the emailed me about my in store purchase.

i never logged it or provided any other information than my credit card swipe in the store but they tied it to the account i had on homedepot.com

Definitely recommend the moonlander, got mine last week and my productivity definitely tanked but it's getting back up there.

FWIW my RSI in my wrist has improved already a great deal since switching and it's only been a week.
