Likewise when theres a company meeting which clearly and simply lays something out and people have questions.

Example: “We are switching payroll providers, This in no way impacts you as all direct deposits have been migrated. You might see a new note on the deposits from the new payroll company.” A bunch of hands go up… Its always the same people

How could you possibly have a question?!

lol sorry I broke your mental regex filter

Yeah one of these views is more valid than the other:

“I got an error message! It says, Please right click the application and select ‘Run As Administrator…’ What does it mean?! What do I do!!! Why are these instructions so confusing?!”

“I got an error on the page! It says ‘Password incorrect’ What does that mean? How do I fix it?” “Have you tried using the correct password?”

Questions like that are likely to start a war

oh god i felt this one. Devs too busy, incompetent or just plain lazy to figure out why their code is so slow, so just have ops throw more CPU and memory at it to brute force performance. Then ops gets to try to explain to management why we are spending $500k per month to AWS to support 50 concurrent users.

i chuckled at the thought of ‘git poop’ being a command. I’m going to alias that to something.

fuck it. rm -rf repository; git clone repository

Been using git since almost as long as its been around, still can’t be bothered to learn to how to fix conflicts.

not sure how long ago that was but duplicati can now validate backups via checksum every time after writing somewhere

Are you able to open it to the internet and put these services behind an auth proxy? that might be the way to do it. Or if it already has login you might be able to put it behind a cloudflare WAF or similar and restrict bots and bad actors.

I run arch, have the latest iphone, watch MKBHD, amd use tor… so…. yeah i dunno

Duplicati docker container works pretty well

Unraid works this way too. Its perfectly fine as long as you keep frequent writes off it. Use ramdisk when you need scratch space.

create a separate macvlan network and have each container get its own unique IP. Its bad security practice to have it share the host network anyway.

Im pretty happy with protonmail. Email is kind of important you may not want to go with the cheapest option.

That really depends, are you looking for an actual filesystem or (for real) object level storage? Does the frontend have compatibility with s3-type endpoints?

I would recommend a vpn like tailscale to encrypt traffic and not expose your local env to the internet

Here are some self-hosted s3 compatible options: https://geekflare.com/self-hosted-s3/

Although I think you might want to reconsider your architecture here. If you’re planning on self-hosting the storage for a frontend hosted on a VPS somewhere latency is probably going to make for a pretty bad experience.

I really wanted to like hyprland so much. Tiling window managers are just too clunky for me.
