Agreed! I feel like there is an underlying question here. Like, did the OP get called out for not-really-selfhosting-because-VPS?
You do not need to define the word just because you want to host your own server for product X.

LTO3 is a (relatively expensive) supplement that does not require any monitoring or checks. It’s just a supplement. But it has been doing wonders for me: I have been free of brain fog for 3 months now (before it was always foggy).

It’s not as strong as all the amphetamins but maybe it’s useful to know about it :-)

Andijviestamppot met veel kaas en spekjes en op het laatst een paar teentjes verse knoflook :-) Yammie.

En bitterballen natuurlijk.

As other people said, getting the mail delivered is the hard part. Check if your mail is received by Google, Microsoft, because apparently they blacklist by default.

You can do everything yourself and then set up a relay for sending, so all mail is sent through someone else who can make sure it is delivered. Then you could get something like purelymail, which is 10$/year to deliver your mail. (I have no relation with purelymail, I am their customer, but it took me quite a while to find a mail relay that is not for sending bulk spam but for real people).

I’m not here to recommend a NUC (because I don’t know), but a thing about the Pis: I have several, some have been constantly running in some form ore another for 10 years, and I have had 0 issues with overheating or SD-cards. Also I only use the official power supplies.

The Pi 4 and 5 have heating issues, so I added passive cooling to them (if I would do heavy tasks like transcoding I would add active cooling, but that is not my scenario).

They are reliable little machines :-)

(Also they are limited in CPU and memory, so I also have a NUC. It’s an official Intel so not the kind you want ;-) )

If they would just display the actual drama instead of inventing it, I would watch it! :-)

Just curious … what does this mean for signal - does the Guardian Project do funding / infrastructure / code? I don’t really know them.

How do other people like it, so far?

I enjoyed unlocking all the colors, it was a fun new concept (although visually challenging, everything was ugly and weird visual artifacts everywhere).

… het is vermoeiend. De hele tijd via de rechter proberen te voorkomen dat je iets aan het milieu moet doen.

BBB wilde toch met Europa praten over de gemaakte afspraken? Hoe is dat eigenlijk gegaan?

Yeah there are soooo many servers out there. Joining Discord is the way to find them (unfortunately).

Okay, sure, do fast. Then:

• I’ll add a refactor task to the backlog filed under “tech debt”
• please confirm again that you know we are still behind on security updates and that you’re ok with it because you are responsible for how I spend my hours
• I’d like more time to spend on bugs before we lose customers.
• Also I won’t touch that buggy part without taking the time for a rewrite because we did it “fast” per your request and it’s so hard to maintain now that it becomes a time sink on every minor change
• I know we are under time pressure right now, but as a stakeholder I request we plan a few sprints for improving reliability of our product
• It’s not “fun” to work on our code. We might lose developers if we do not address this. We both know the good coders will have no problem finding a new job and you’ll end up with the bad ones.
• Either that, or plan for loss of personnel and the extra time we need for the hiring process and the loss of developer hours

Change management! :-)

Or, if possible, change employer.

(And I know we’re in meme-land, but I always see it as a developer’s task to inform of the trade-off between fast and good)

Thank you! I’ve looked into PARA, and … Area’s and Resources seem quite close? The difference is that Area’s are driven by duty/responsibility while Resources are driven by interest? How do you divide the two?

I think I already have this division in my work-life. We have tickets that have clear targets (projects), we have a wiki for useful information (long-term).

I will keep it in my head while organizing my private life.

thank you! This sounds very useful, I will try it. And the actual real-life experience of wasting the first 2 tries is very helpful :)

Don’t you need to declare new Balls() first? Or do you suck() Balls static?

Geyser had some issues lately. I run geyser standalone on a vps on the web, the server itself is in my home. The geyser server would sit at 100% CPU all the time. From what i understand: they had an issue recently that would hackers use geyser to run DDoS attacks. It was fixed but the hackers still try to connect. All the time.

I don’t know if it is released yet (check their Discord) but they quickly released a patched version that would rate limit connection attempts (block the IP after X attempts). This fixed the issue for me.

You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.

I only watched the summary, was one of the takeovers on Alonso due to the puncture? I can imagine being taken over, but 3 in a row is a bit much for a driver of his skill :)

I entered the world of Java a few years ago, there were already memes about eclipse back then, so I was prepared to prefer Intellij.

I tried both. Intellij is much more polished, it had some annoying bugs too, but the selling point for me was that eclipse was (is) really good at syncing every change directly to wildfly. This is a huge timesaver. The maven to eclipse plugin I think?

I’ve tried with jrebel but it’s not as quick and reliable as with eclipse.

I am fully prepared for a solution where Intellij is better so please let me know, but no one in our organisation (which has about 50 devs) has found it.

This … is actually quite accurate.

And for most cases this is perfectly fine!
