Empathy [he/him]

Easiest solution IMO if you’re already using CloudFlare, even the free version: you can filter out certain countries. Otherwise, there’s probably other alternatives, even open source ones. Good terms to search for with your cloud provider or self hosted software may be middlewares, firewalls, serverless, edge functions, etc.

I’m pretty damn left leaning and I’ve never been called a tankie. I rarely even see anyone being called a tankie, except people who are defending authoritarians. The scope of the word “tankie” seemed generally pretty clear to me.

I want to add that, like you, I’ve become a big fan of restricting the numbers of ways to do something.

IMO, It’s more time wasted choosing, more time wasted reviewing, and makes it easier to overlook errors. I want more opinionated languages and frameworks.

I kept seeing so many different ones recommended and I kept getting weird issues I didn’t understand with most of them. I don’t often need to make a bootable Linux USB, but every time, Rufus did the job quick and easy.

I’ve been using both Perplexity and Kagi for searching things, and it’s working out pretty well for me. The main thing that I find Kagi useful for is filtering to Fediverse results (which tends to be mostly Lemmy threads).

It’s pretty expensive though…

If it was something self-hosted on the web, it may have been Clarity AI.

I think your comment embodies Rust more than any I’ve seen before

I use main because, although I never heard of anybody actually getting offended by master, it costs me nothing to use main instead. Also it looks prettier and seems to be the new convention ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ironically, the best way I found to combat this is to use search engines that summarize result pages with AI (e.g., Bing Copilot or Perplexity).

It still sucks even with those options, but it at-least reduces the need to go through several pages of results before finding the first relevant one. Still, the LLMs of those engines hallucinate regularly and give very naive answers, so they’re mostly useful for finding relevant sources IMO.

Disclaimer: I pay for Perplexity. I use Perplexity every day but I haven’t tried Bing Copilot that much. I haven’t used ChatGPT much, I find it way too unreliable, I can’t trust its answers. I’m not an investor nor employee of either.

Also $83/mo HOA, oof.

Thanks for looking it up!

If somebody asked you to bring hot dogs and tacos to a party, the host would probably not be just as fine with you bringing only tacos or only hot dogs.

Disclaimer: I don’t know much about securing the container itself. The considerations I discuss here are mostly networking.

What I’ve personally been doing is using k3s with Cloudflare Tunnel (routed using DNS like in this documentation) as an ingress.

With Cloudflare Tunnel, if you create an application in front of it, you can require authentication and add a list of allowed emails.

I could replace k3s with a different Kubernetes distribution, and/or replace Cloudflare Tunnel with a different ingress (e.g., Tailscale Funnel or more common ingresses like nginx).

Co-pilot can write some small very simple functions for me, sometimes saving me the need to look at documentation. It will still often fail at those, in my experience, and will consistently fail at anything more complex.

It will get better, but currently it’s only a small help.

I love both proprietary software and open source software, and personally I kinda like this warning.

How much of a concern it is for software’s code to be proprietary, is probably personal opinion. For this reason, maybe yellow is a bit too much? I think making these errors grayscale might be a good middle ground.

Pulling changes should be trivial after you’ve done it a few times.
