  • Yeah, and Steins;Gate 0 rated higher than the original... What?

  • What are your favorite German girl names?

    Jump

  • Hm... Maybe? Only one way to find out!

  • What are your favorite German girl names?

    Jump

  • (I know this is in reference to Sousou no Frieren, but just in case: that's not an actual German name, it's just a German verb. Never even seen it used as a name.)

  • Is it common courtesy to stack your shopping cart back with the other carts?

    Jump

  • Ehm, yes, but in Germany you also put a Euro into the cart to release the chain, and need to return the cart to get it back.

    Not so sure this would work here without that...

  • Thanks, I hate it.

  • How many containers are you all running?

    Jump

  • Eh... Not really. Qemu does a really good job with VM virtualizarion.

    I believe I could easily build containers instead of VMs from the nix config, but I actually do like having a full VM: since it's running a full OS instead of an app, all the usual nix tooling just works on it.

    Also: In my day job, I actually have to deal quite a bit with containers (and kubernetes), and I just... don't like it.

  • How many containers are you all running?

    Jump

  • I'll DM you... Not sire I want to link those two accounts publicly 😄

  • How many containers are you all running?

    Jump

  • Zero.

    About 35 NixOS VMs though, each running either a single service (e.g. Paperless) or a suite (Sonarr and so on plus NZBGet, VPN,...).

    There's additionally a couple of client VMs. All of those distribute over 3 Proxmox hosts accessing the same iSCSI target for VM storage.

    SSL and WireGuard are terminated at a physical firewall box running OpnSense, so with very few exceptions, the VMs do not handle any complicated network setup.

    A lot of those VMs have zero state, those that do have backup of just that state automated to the NAS (simply via rsync) and from there everything is backed up again through borg to an external storage box.

    In the stateless case, deploying a new VM is a single command; in the stateful case, same command, wait for it to come up, SSH in (keys are part of the VM images), run restore-<whatever>.

    On an average day, I spend 0 minutes managing the homelab.

  • Interesting, that sounds more related to personal phone calls?

    I was more thinking of the "single-purpose" kind of call, where you can communicate very clearly about your intetions

    Sonarr and the codecs/formats...what am I missing?

    Jump

  • You (sadly) need to group all quality profiles into a single one, and then handle quality through a custom format. Example from my setup:

  • Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps

    Jump

  • NixOS for the win! Define your system and services, run a single command, get a reproducible, Proxmox-compatible VM out of it. Nixpkgs has basically every service you'd ever want to selfhost.

  • Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps

    Jump

  • Lost me at LLMs. My Nix config is over 20k lines long at this point, neatly split into more than a hundred modules and managing 8 physical machines and 30+ VMs. I love it.

    But every time I've tried to use an LLM for nix, it has failed spectacularly.

  • Nooooo

    Jump

  • I'm really glad my first (part time) job as a fresh-out-of-highschool 17 year old required me to call about 5-6 companies/people per workday. A good number of whom where existing business relations, so not a whole lot of room to fuck up.

    First week was really anxiety-inducing, because I HATED making phone calls.

    After that, no issue. Today, I'd 1000% rather call a doctor's office, restaurant, plumber,... Than write an email. Online forms are fine, but phone calls are just better. You can get the back and forth often needed for planning done in like 5 seconds.

  • You can, without root even! Take a look at uad-ng (universal android debloater). Comes with a community-curated list which sorts APKs into 5 tiers from "recommended to uninstall" to "yeah don't, your phone needs this to boot". Apps disabled through this do not come back after updates.

    Removed 140+ apps from my Xiaomi, 120+ from my GFs Samsung S24, and 90+ from my brothers Motorola Edge something.

  • Called their support. They were super nice, and then told me that if I still had access to my 2fa, I could simply add a second mail in my account without needing access to the first one.

    Made total sense when stopping to think about it for a second 😄
