Devops is a meaningful term

Indeed, and good points. How many users do you have? I assume this isn’t just for you, and setting up multiple nfs shares with tailscale access policies isn’t feasible. SMB might be the best play. I’ll have to refresh my memory on file sharing protocols

NFS for storage, tailscale / wireguard for access control?

I don’t do anything interesting. I’ve got the ten workspaces, and win+p to start stuff.

The only interesting thing is win+PrintScrn, which takes a screenshot to /tmp, and then opens it in pinta to crop.

Actually I also have win+z bound to turning off the laptop screen. That’s all I can remember

Removing caulk sucks.

The best tool for the job is a razor blade / utility knife, and a pack of replacement blades. Blades are dirt cheap, don’t be afraid to bend them / abuse them.

Woohoo! Saw your previous post, I’m glad it’s going well! Keep us updated

Hey! Best of luck, I’m actually going down the same road at the moment :)

I would build it yourself - it’s more fun, and is cheaper than renting over a shorter-than-you-would-think time period.

The first thing to know is whether or not you can port-forward / if your isp has you behind nat.

Exposing virtual disks is relatively straightforward, or even just storage quotas on a single disk. I’m about to jump into the wide world of zfs; I need to glue together 4+ disks into a single storage array.

If you want everyone to have a separate VM, you’ll need some kind of hypervisor underneath. Could you grant everyone a user account in a single system, and use docker for separation?

It sounds like the others will be connecting remotely - make sure you use ssh keys (not passwords) and disable root over ssh. Once ssh is exposed to the internet, you’ll see a lot of failed login attempts

The game of Mao begins now.

Even more unusual variants include […] a game which, instead of allowing voting on rules, splits into two sub-games, one with the rule, and one without it.

This sounds insane and delightful

I gave their protocol page a look; it’s extremely in-depth. I have no idea what a vector clock is but now I get to learn. I like how they explain why blockchain isn’t a good fit.

I’m a touch worried about the extensability of the protocol, but I haven’t given it a deep read yet. I very much appreciate the share!

At EoL, corporate security tells the IT department to uninstall it.

Windows works great because MS tapes it back together slightly faster than it falls apart.

When EoL hits, those devices are either trashed, firewalled into oblivion, or assimilated into the kube.

Wanna come configure optimus for me?

Optimus gets complex quick. You’ll be reading pci bus ids before you know it. Keep the wiki open, go slowly; you got this :)

lite-xl with LSP gives you most of the features of vscode (they’re both lsp) at a tiny percentage of the system resources

Time to dive into the wide world of VTTYs. I believe you’re writing to pts3’s output buffer - writing to its input buffer is a different virtual device / may be a process descriptor, I’m not sure. Look into the history of vttys and it should start to make sense.

That’s always a tough one!

I don’t mind the wire, but wireless could be very nice. I’m an audio technica fan.

It would be awesome to have headphones with a good microphone, for calls at work. They’ll also have to be comfortable - I like to jam while writing code for multi-hour sessions.

My home computer doesn’t have bluetooth, so I’m probably team wired.

I listed to marina and the diamonds and tool. Maybe they could pitch me better headphones? I am actually in the market for new headphones.

The music streaming service, that I stream music from, knows which music I streamed. I’m shocked.

This will go about as well as broadcom’s acquisition of Symantec (not well).

If you can get rid of vmware, you will have to, and if you can’t, you’ll ship buckets of benjamins to broadcom and in return they might keep your company alive.

Your network flow is from your server, to your router, to your android phone, to your router, to your chromecast. If that’s all wifi, then every frame crosses the air 4 times, and you’re doing transcoding on the phone in the middle.

Casting sucks.

Sir, you are a hero. Thank you for your service.
