The AIO mastercontainer seems to do fine on Apache, but when I had it dockerized myself, I used nginx and it was fine. I really think the main point is using postgres and redis. Mysql isn’t great and sqlite is terribad in the stack.

You cover a lot of topics in each episode. Maybe cut them down to get a shorter episode, and budget the time to expand a couple of the more interesting ones. Use the more in-depth topics to drive a Premium, no-ads channel.

I look at Linux Unplugged as way too long, but really they don’t cover very much in an episode. They spend more time reading their boosts and usually I just skip out at that point. But I guess that’s where they get paid from, so I get it.

I’m not sure that the Linux landscape is a place where you’re going to pay for the time of running a podcast, but as long as you enjoy helping people with bringing them information and pointing them at new things, at least you’ll be getting that satisfaction.

Do you ever send mails to Gmail and Office365

All the time, never had an issue. I get dmarc reports constantly since I set my dmarc to notify, not just failed, but I’ve never seen PTR checked on Microsoft or google. It passes SPF and DKIM (presumably spam but you don’t get a report for that) and they let it through. I used to think it was because I’ve had most of my domains for a long time, but the couple times I’ve brought a new domain online, they seem to be fine with them.

Now they might be passed because my old domains have never had an issue and they get associated because they come from the same IP?

My ISP would let me set a PTR if I wanted but I haven’t bothered because it doesn’t seem to be an issue.

Selfhost several domains for over 25 years, from home, on a dynamic IP (though it hasn’t changed in a long time) and no PTR records, and I have literally had zero problems with blacklisting or dropped connections. I must live a charmed life, or have set up my DKIM/SPF/dmarc records correctly.

Currently using mailcow-dockerized and it’s lovely.

I’ve listened to a few episodes over the last few months and enjoyed some of the topics, especially the interview with that Nextcloud fellow.

Except for the interview, I do find an hour is more than I can take at once, though. I lean towards Joe Ressington’s “make them want more” half-hour podcasts every week. Just my 2 cents.

Oh, and we’re showing all your friends what you watch without you asking for it. And by friends, we mean everyone we leaked your account and payment details to. Twice.

Why the literal fuck anyone has anything to do with Plex at this point is beyond me. They don’t supply anything unique and they abuse you to do it.

It was rejected for putting in features in bugfix only windows. It was always about how he reacted to issues like that which got him moved to “externally maintained” If you have examples of commits being rejected on their actual coding merits, please link.

The code is fine, the LKML has nothing but good things to say about his skills, on this and other things he’s worked on in the kernel. But his interpersonal skills and his ability to work inside the guidelines of how the kernel development process works is the shits.

Run a proxmox VM with docker services. ZFS snapshots and backups via PBS.

How to buff up your resume by getting a kernel PR approved.

For a Windows guest, I’d access with Xfreerdp instead of the console viewers like Spice, it’s probably faster and smoother. In which case you can use the Xfreerdp commandline with -clipboard or use Remmina/KRDC and enable the clipboard with their UI (since both just use xfreerdp in the background anyway).

Fedora KDE, or Nobara which is a game/editing pre-optimized version of Fedora that has nVidia built in with extra tweaks.

I use Pinchflat, but I’ll take Youtube channel feeds instead so it can employ Sponsorblock and cut the commercials, especially for podcasters that use IHR. It then exports an RSS feed for Antennapod to monitor, but I imagine you could just write the episodes to a Navidrome-accessible folder.

Linus has more to worry about than a single experimental FS in a kernel that runs the world. Kent can go have his drama off by himself for a while.

Sounds like they give you a bunch of grafana dashboards preconfigured, which is fine. Makes customizing them easy.

So if I want a new container stack, I make a new Proxmox “disk” in the ZFS filesystem under the Hardware tab of the VM. This adds a “disk” to the VM when I reboot the VM (there are ways of refreshing the block devices online, but this is easier). I find the new block device and mount it in the VM at a subfolder of /stacks, which will be the new container stack location. I also add this mount point to fstab.

So now I have a mounted volume at /stacks/container-name. I put a docker-compose.yml in there and all data that the stack will use will be subfolders of that folder with bind mounts in the compose file. When I back up, that ZFS dataset that contains everything in that compose stack is snapshotted and backed up as a point-in-time. If that stack has a postgres database, it and all the data it references is internally consistent because it was snapshotted before backup. If I restore the entire folder from backup, it just thinks it had a power outage, replays it’s journals in the database, and all’s well.

So when you have a backup in PBS, from your Proxmox node you can access the backups via the filesystem browser on the left.

When you go to that backup, you can choose to do a File Restore instead of restoring the entire VM. Here I am walking the storage for my nextcloud data within the backups, and I can walk this storage for all discrete backups.

If I want to just restore a container, I will download that “partition” and transfer it to the docker VM. Down the container stack in question, blow out everything in that folder and then restore the contents of the download to the container folder. Start up the docker stack for that folder and it’s back to where it was. Alternatively, I could just restore individual files if I wanted.
