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

0 is the goal. Well done !

Edit: Ha! Some masochist down-voted that.

How it started : 0

Max : 0

Now : 0

Iso27002 and provenance validation goes brrrrr

You’re not alone.

The industry itself has become pointlessly layered like some origami hell. As a former OS security guy I can say it’s not in a good state with all the supply-chain risks.

At the same time, many ‘help’ articles are karma-farming ‘splogs’ of low quality and/or just slop that they’re not really useful. When something’s missing, it feels to our imposter syndrome like it’s a skills issue.

Simplify your life. Ditch and avoid anything with containers or bizarre architectures that feels too intricate. Decide what you need and run those on really reliable options. Auto patching is your friend (but choose a distro and package format where it’s atomic and rolls back easily).

You don’t need to come home only to work. This is supposed to be FUN for some of us. Don’t chase the Joneses, but just do what you want.

Once you’ve simplified, get in the habit of going outside. You’ll feel a lot better about it.

Still crutching on containers?

90% of the current population of Lemmy are Reddit refugees

90% of the initial reddit population were Digg refugees. There’s nothing new or unexpected about user churn.

Comically, the organization with the worst history for virtualization now doubled-down on SAAS. This is certainly going well.

desktop client app for Linux

An app THAT DOES WHAT? You may as well be asking for “a food I can eat bite by bite”.

Mining lithium from lithium batteries is very efficient. And some people say they’re not even recyclable.

Got a version without docker?

Container crutches. Ew. And if a dev can’t spell self-hosted, then I don’t trust them to do it properly.

Where’s the Bazel people at?

CI compatible to GitHub actions

Ugh. More yaml?

It’s still yaml shit though.

Packer builds the terraformable/openTofuable templates to launch into the hypervisor where chef (eventually mgmtConfig) will manage them from there until they die.

All that is launched by git. Fire and forget. Updates are cronned.

There are no containers. Don’t got time to fuck about. If Systemd wasn’t an absolute embarrassment I’d not worry about updates even as much as I do, which isn’t much aside from the aforementioned cancer.

Yes; and since everything is tastier than tomato soup, tomato sauce will be better too.

Like, what 8 letters are abbreviated between those two Ns? Are we supposed to know?

I see it’s running Ansible. That’s an obvious risk.

The writing in this article is absolutely terrible. It needs some serious clean-up before the message isn’t impaired by the medium.

I go to pixelfed to post my art and view other peoples art. that’s it. I don’t go there to read posts or what’s going on in peoples lives.

Yes but being able to do that is a design goal of the fediverse

Is it? Beause that seems really dumb.

Here’s a radical idea: sometimes, web services are built with features you don’t use. Sometimes you don’t even *value *those features. But, in cases where your preference isn’t in the majority, the decision to include those features won’t match your personal preference.

Sometimes, the ability to share and see content between different sites is even a core value.

Weird.

For more information, search “false consensus”.

You may want to learn how you can configure your own accounts on various services to manage what you see on each one. Because, to some extent, that’s a configuration option.

I think for about 2 weeks Voat had potential. Then the Nazis moved in and it was doomed.
