They literally campaigned on a slogan saying that doubling the prison time would cut crime in half. Insanity.

There are probably some with sand and other hard minerals, I think Dove had some soaps with aluminum oxide in it?

Being smug over the meanings of words that aren’t ever actually used in a consistent way is even more American.

Um actually, Strawberries are not a berry, it’s a Gameboy, not a Nintendo, and I lick toads. Can you go to the bathroom?

The only thing similar that I have experienced in Europe is the protected food name law, e.g. Champagne and Parmesan, but that’s an EU cultural protectionism law that the US doesn’t actually follow.

In sweden you can hire the right to live in a building. “Hyresrätt” = “Rental apartment”

throw them off the sidewalk and into a car lane

Then you’d probably swing your sword around and get it stuck in the wall and die. Rapiers and polearms are probably better in tight spaces against unarmored opponents. Polearms are just always better in general if you don’t have sword training.

It’s like comparing a shotgun to a AR-15 pistol. Sure, the pistol is more compact, has more power, and will put more rounds downrange, but they’re all going to be in the ceiling if you haven’t trained with it. The shotgun will be more effective.

Easy fix, just have the AI summarize what happened in the last week for you so you don’t confuse it with multiple languages. Now you don’t have to talk and the other person doesn’t have to listen!

I expected an option that replaces Aunt Janet with an AI voice that summarizes each sentence. Gotta justify all this money on AI somehow.

1. Yes.
2. Yes, and if you want custom configuration, you can include your configuration in-line in the same file that installs the http server and sets up systemd for it. Or you can even write your own module that drops configuration files in the same file.
3. Home-manager modules are modules that run stuff exclusively in ~, doing things like configuring browsers or dotfiles. As opposed to NixOS modules which configure system-level daemons.

Ah cool, I’ll check it out.

The home manager documentation bothers me a lot

Probably not that hard to build a simple flask frontend around it.

Automatically processing files in an S3/WebDAV directory would also be useful.

There is also a k3s option for Nixos, which removes the security and side-affect risks of running a random bash script installer.

Definitely so in the EU

Spread the word!

Very true. Each brick you lay upgrades your setup and your skillset. There are very few mistakes in Kubernetes as long as you make sure your state is backed up.

For question 1: You can have multiple resource objects in a single file, each resource object just needs to be separated by ---. The small resource definitions help keep things organized when you’re working with dozens of precisely configured services. It’s a lot more readable than the other solutions out there.

For question 2, unfortunately Docker Compose is much more common than Kubernetes. There are definitely some apps that provide kubernetes documentation, especially Kubernetes operators and enterprise stuff, but Docker-Compose definitely has bigger market share for self-hosted apps. You’ll have to get experienced with turning a docker compose example into deployment+service+pvc.

Kubernetes does take a lot of the headaches out of managing self-hosted clusters though. The self-healing, smart networking, and batteries-included operators for reverse-proxy/database/ACME all save so much hassle and maintenance. Definitely Install ingress-nginx, cert-manager, ArgoCD, and CNPG (in order of difficulty).

Try to write yaml resources yourself instead of fiddling with Helm values.yaml. Usually the developer experience is MUCH nicer.

Feel free to take inspiration/copy from my 500+ container cluster: http://codeberg.org/jlh/h5b/src/branch/main/argo

In my repo, custom_applications are directories with hand-written/copy-pasted yaml files auto-synced via ArgoCD Operator, while external_applications are helm installations, managed via ArgoCD Operator Applications.

helm charts are awful, i didn’t really like cdk8s either tbh. I think the future “package format” might be operators or Crossplane Composite Resources
