Welvin Da Great called and is asking whether his friends Candice and Dick can fit in the truck.

I ain’t givin’ you no tree-fitty, you goddamn Loch Ness Monster! Get your own goddamn money!

Over 3,000 data centers are planned in the U.S., and I am not imagining they’re being built so everyone can generate slop to their heart’s content. Recent events like OpenAI becoming an official member of the military industrial complex and the F.B.I.’s deal with Flock make me think they’re largely being built as infrastructure for the digital cage.

The NAACP never changed their name, so I assumed the term just fell out of use, but wasn’t necessarily offensive.

And this is why Copilot failed. It’s bad enough watching a human do dumb shit on a computer, but having to watch a dipshit AI fumble around on your machine just takes it to a whole new level.

The color scheme makes me think of Google, unfortunately.

I run k3s on a single node and it’s not really that much more overhead than Docker Compose if you understand k8s. I mostly have a deployment.yaml, service.yaml, ingress.yaml, and network-policy.yaml for each service that I’ve copy / pasted and updated. Here are some of the benefits over Docker Compose for my setup:

• Has a built-in Traefik reverse proxy / ingress controller so I can access my services by domain name instead of by port, like http://jellyfin.lan/, http://forgejo.lan/ (using local dns on my OpenWRT router)

• I use the Calico CNI so I can have network policies for each service to allow them to access only what they need. If a service doesn’t need internet access, it doesn’t get it.

• I use Bitnami Sealed Secrets to store my secrets in YAML files that can be safely stored in git

• ConfigMaps make it easy to manage configuration files

• Easier to have separate YAML files for each service while sharing a network between them. Services connect to each other like http://forgejo.forgejo.svc.cluster.local/

Of course, if you’re looking to load balance across multiple machines, k3s makes even more sense.

Edit:

k8s is the clear industry standard for container orchestration at this point, so if you want something beyond Compose, a lightweight k8s distribution like k3s is an obvious choice.

Ba-dum pshhh.

Everyone “being a billionaire” and having a huge pile of worthless metal won’t increase anyone’s standard of living to the same degree as nobody being a billionaire and nobody hoarding resources.

Lots of fond memories watching Planet Earth in the evenings with a cup of herbal tea.

Sounds like the core engine is FOSS at least: https://github.com/Tracktion/tracktion_engine?tab=License-1-ov-file. Unless it’s all 100% FOSS, might as well go with Reaper or another paid DAW, though.

I suppose if the extensions are also FOSS, paying for them is fair enough. I use Blender and buy paid extensions that are GPL licensed, which is way better than subscription-only software. Free as in freedom, not beer, and freedom is worth paying for, IMO.

Right? I’ve got the original and the 90s version in Jellyfin on my home lab server. 🧟‍♂️

I see what you did there. 😆

Part of my reason for self-hosting is not to have what I’m watching tracked, but I did use the Trakt trending list to discover new content. Now, their website doesn’t show the trending list without an account, so I can’t be bothered with Trakt now.

I first heard pizzle in Kingdom Come Deliverance: “Are you pulling my pizzle?”

I find myself on the phone trying to spell something and come up with words that begin with each letter. Agreed that it’s a solved problem and everyone should just learn it.

But SLS uses Space Shuttle engines and that landed in a runway.
