Don’t forget “author”, as though that’s relevant for anything

New Zealand copies a lot from USA, we are slowly becoming less civilized

The internet memes will have me believe that Germans are super anal about making sure that trash is correctly sorted.

Is there a bin for ewaste next to the glass, cans and plastic bins?

No, it’s garbage because of its approach to case sensitivity.

It’s case insensitive by default (which is a WTF in itself and encourages the same laziness Windows users thrive on with NTFS) but it also has a case sensitive mode.

Except the case sensitive mode is almost entirely useless because of the amount of apps it breaks that assume the default case-insensitive mode. It also means that you as a programmer have to add extra crap to your file handling code for case insensitive string comparisons if you want to support both modes

Yeah I still don’t get why people use Discord, it’s so shitty and knowledge just gets locked up there to die

American society says it a lot, the rest of us not so much.

To go to therapy, you have to believe in therapy. Males generally prefer to solve their own problems

Wouldn’t all my consumer grade switches need to support vlan tagging? I’m pretty sure a bunch of them dont

My proxmox “cluster” is a bunch of old laptops with a single consumer grade NIC in each. I wanted to isolate the VM network from my main home network (have it on a different range) while still allowing all the VM’s to transparently talk to each other regardless of which physical host they happen to be on.

Could I have achieved this with normal vlans? I wanted an overlay network on the VM side but they still need to use my main home network to get internet and I only have a single physical interface on each host which is plugged into my main home network (addresses assigned via my home router).

The OPNsense VM routes between the two networks (the virtual vxlan within Proxmox + my physical home network) and does DHCP / DNS for the VM network

I just attached the host NIC to OPNSense and then have a vxlan in proxmox to make the VM network separate from the rest of my home network. Both the host NIC and the vxlan virtual NIC are attached to the VM.

The OPNsense VM acts as a router between the two networks. I host all my shit on the VM network under *.internal.legit.tld and use LetsEncrypt + Traefik to issue SSL certs which work without having to load a CA cert everywhere because I own legit.tld

The only bastard was having to adjust the MTU everywhere within the VM network, that caught me out a couple of times

Some software branded as Docker for Mac exists for Mac.

Obviously Docker uses Linux kernel constructs not available on other platforms so on Mac (and Windows) they embed an entire Linux VM and attempt to integrate it with the host system storage, networking and resources.

This works about as well as it sounds, I/O performance in particular is terrible and trying to share folders between the host and the VM (to for example mount the code you’re working on) is super slow and annoying

“But Macs are the best for development, they’re so user friendly” - not even close lol

Where this doesn’t work is the entire Finance department.

They need proper Excel, full of all the proper Excel shenanigans. Some of them will also have VBA macros and random plugins too that they rely on

If you use macos but are deploying to Linux, you’re also a weirdo.

+10 masochism points if you’re using docker on MacOS as well

I guess Caddy has been stealing its market share

It’s more like android apps from early versions of Android before the permissions became user-managable.

It won’t prompt you to give the application access to certain permissions, all the permissions are predefined in the manifest by whoever published the application to flathub. When you run the application you just hope it won’t cause too much havoc (you can of course verify the permissions before running it, but I guarantee most people won’t)

Flatpak supports sandboxing but due to how most desktop applications want access to your home folder, network etc many apps simply disable it.

Regardless of the level of sandboxing applied to the app, Flatpak is a great way for a developer to package once run anywhere. Prior to Flatpak, if you wanted to support multiple distros, you had to build a package for each distro or hope somebody working on that distro would do it for you.

Inb4 AppImage was here first. And if you mention Snap then GTFO
