Twice.

There’s a lot of animals to be more afraid of than coyotes and wolves. I think between them there’s been maybe 4 fatalities in the last century. The last thing I would get in front of is a moose cow with a calf, that’s a good way to find Valhalla.

I’ve been around coyotes my entire life and usually when you see them, they’re already high-tailing the other direction. Either you have some super-tame coyotes or those weren’t coyotes.

I’ve been using a wildcard accept rule on my main domain, and every once in a while one of the made up addresses gets out of hand, I just go in and blackhole it on my email server. I then send a nasty email to the admin of whoever got hacked or sold the address (sending from another bullshit address), as I use unique addresses per signup and keep track of them in my password manager. It seems to have kept my inbox fairly clean since anything to those addresses goes into a side folder.

Been doing it for 20 years, seems like a good strategy so far.

Republicans will cancel it, I guarantee it. Then they’ll put their stamp on a new mission, put it all into SpaceX hands, and send Melon some more money.

Vapor injection becomes an excuse to downsize the compressor and lowers the cost, it seems. You could easily go lower than 32 if you oversized the pump before EVI, but those were only in specific heatpumps.

I used a special reflective paint for projectors on a wall.

Actually, I’m surprised they weren’t using them long before. It’s basically AC with an extra valve. Thought they get priced like they’re some sort of new technology.

This scares me if I have to buy a new one, because I’d completely forgotten my TV has smart functions, I haven’t seen a trace of it for years with a Pi hooked up on the HDMI. It just starts up to the last input it was on. Heck, I turn it on with Home Assistant Voice automation that sends a CEC command to it over that HDMI. I haven’t even used the remote in months.

Don’t tell them that, then I’ll have to scroll for 10 pages for their stupid joke comment.

I bought a very expensive one a few years ago thinking the same thing, but don’t use it because you get nothing close to the vividness of a regular screen. And I’m not a videophile, I’ll happily watch most of my shows at 720p, but the color and depth are just really bad on a projection screen, even with the lights out. I end up just using an old 1080 LCD I fixed the backlights on when I got it for free.

Plus the fan noise is fucking annoying.

Well, I wasn’t going to buy their spyware shit anyway.

I have to filter out all the 4K feeds I get on Kodi because I can’t play them. I sure haven’t seen a shortage of them. Now whether they play at an actual 4K would be the question, but they’ve been there for years.

Naw, me and 63 of my closest friends are going to kill this massive hairy thing and eat the good parts, then kill another one. They can’t run out, can they?

I’ve been self-hosting email for so long (and ran/consulted on corporate email systems for a long time), I’m pretty sure my original domain (25 years) lends it’s respectability to new domains I host at the same address. The hell of it is I host on a resi IP address and have never had a single blacklist event. I don’t even know how that’s possible other than the fact that I’ve done it for so long with no incidents that I think I’m on a whitelist or something.

If you think running some curl-bash script against whatever mess someone has set up in an LXC or other one-off install is functionally the same than CIing a known distro and version and making an image that people then can use and bug report against, then I don’t see that this conversation is going anywhere.

A dockerfile has a bunch of built-in functionality that’s way easier than running scripts, and very amenable to CI. Its a standardized way of building repeatable and troubleshootable environments which is nothing you’d get in a one-off LXC, so developers love it.

I didn’t like docker for the longest time, installed everything on VMs and LXCs manually with Ansible, and when I did get looking into containers I realized how utterly wrongheaded I had been, especially when it came to deploying a solution I could trust behaves consistently.

And did you just downvote my comment because I dared disagree with you like pretty much the entire development community does? If so, that’s pathetic and weird.

You aren’t wrong, but the usage of the clause the way it was being used was definitely beyond the pale. I don’t think Disney was liable for the restaurants malfeasance, but that lack of responsibility should have rested on the facts of the association or lack thereof, not on some bullshit eula clause for an unrelated product.

I get how momentum keeps you on a path, and he admits that he’d rather use OPNsense in the wiki, but dammit, now he’s got a bunch of other people going down the same pfSense road to the rugpull. And man, Wireguard is so much less confusing and difficult than OpenVPN, but because of the drama the pfSense weirdos made with Donnenfeld over the kernel patches for WG, there’s precious little support for WG in the pfSense environment. Wireguard is definitely more noob friendly.

And if you’re watching this because you need this level of help to selfhost, you definitely should not be hosting email yourself. Love Mailcow, used it for years, but I’m a veteran of the spam wars from way back and know how to deal with the current landscape. He is too, so he should know better.

The issue with LXC is that it doesn’t set the software up for you. You’re pretty much in the same situation as a VM or bare metal, you have to figure out how to install it or use scripts/Ansible to do it. A docker is a distribution method for the software, not the operating system. I know there’s things that you can do to ship a configured LXC, but that’s never gained traction.

So docker is far and away the easiest choice for developers looking to get their software used in a predictable manner.
