I’ve been using glauth + Authelia for a couple years with no issues and almost zero maintenance.

Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.

Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.

A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.

Ah got it. I didn’t know there was a free tier!

How do you use ChatGPT anonymously? It requires a valid login linked to a payment method. It doesn’t get any less anonymous than that.

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a DNS provider that blocks wildcards.

I’ve been using wildcard DNS and certificates to accompany them both at home and professional in large scale services (think hundreds to thousands of applications) for many years without an issue.

The problem described in that forum is real (and in fact is pretty much how the recent attack on Fritz!Box users works) but in practice I’ve never seen it being an issue in a service VM or container. A very easy way to avoid it completely is to just not declare your host domain the same as the one in DNS.

If they’re all resolving to the same IP and using a reverse proxy for name-based routing, there’s no need for multiple A records. A single wildcard should suffice.

Man, that brings back memories! XGH is the OG agile methodology.

Nu-cle-ar wessel!

Not sure if this is helpful in any way, but it might give you some clue.

100./8 addresses are reserved for CG-NAT.

This is probably the IPv4 address your modem/router is receiving from the ISP.

I might pick it back up some day but at the moment I have other projects going on at the moment.

I’m still using Proxmox myself but unfortunately it’s all fairly manually configured.

I started writing a Terraform provider for Proxmox a while ago.

Unfortunately, the API is a massive mess and the documentation is not very helpful either. It was a nightmare and I eventually gave up.

K3s is k8s

lol at the downvote. K3s is k8s. The very first 2 words in its website are Lightweight Kubernetes. https://k3s-io.github.io/

On macOS I’ve been using Ollama. It’s very easy to setup, can run as a service and expose an API.

You can talk to it directly from the CLI (ollama run ) or via applications and plugins (like https://continue.dev ) that consume the API.

It can run on Linux but I haven’t personally tried it.

He’s 83. Definitely old but I wouldn’t write him off anytime soon.

Strange New Worlds has been quite good tbh.

Picard has its moments as well. It’s more valuable as a TNG revival than as a whole new ST work but it’s not bad, especially the last season.

Discovery is one of the worst sci-fi ever produced though, so definitely stay away from it.

It’s pretty easy with Ollama. Install it, then ollama run mistral-7b (or another model, there’s a few available ootb). https://ollama.ai/

Another option is Llamafile. https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile

That reminds me of that joke:

Two economists are walking side-by-side.

One tells the other: I’ll give you $100 if you take a shit on the pavement.

He proceeds to shit on the pavement and grab the $100.

He then tells the other economist: I’ll give you $100 if you eat my shit.

The other does the deed and collects his $100.

After walking a few more blocks, one of them says: both of us left our dignity with that work back there and neither of us are any richer!

To which the other responds: no, but we grew our combined GDP to $200.

And they both walked away happy, patting each other on their backs.

Latinum is only valuable outside of the Federation, where societies are not post-scarcity.

Now, before you argue that there are no material conditions demanding scarcity in (some of) them, I’ll add that artificial scarcity is scarcity nonetheless.

You’re arguing against a straw man. They never said it ceases to exist, only that it’s irrelevant.
