Dunno why ppl are down voting you, this is 100% the way.

Architecture as code is amazing, being able to completely wipe your server, re-install fresh, and turn it on and it goes right back to how it was is awesome.

GitOps version controlled architecture is easy to maintain, easy to rollback, and easy to modify.

I use k8s for my entire homelab, it has some initial learning curve but once you “get it” and have working configs on github, it becomes so trivial to add more stuff to it, scale it up, etc.

The one thing that sucks is this doesn’t cover gear stored in the extra mog… whatever it was called storage you could pay extra for.

And you can’t pay just for that inventory, you have to pay for your account before you can pay to enable the storage.

And finally, if you had important shit stored in those bonus inventories, you can’t access it til you pay for it

Result: players that prior paid for and used the extra inventories basically can’t leverage the free login, they can login but can’t access their stuff unless they opt out of the free login and fully pay for the month + inventories…

RIP

… no? I was asking a serious question.

Who tabled this bill, and who is supporting it?

Harpoon is pretty much just tabs, but, without the actual visual ui of tabs, from my experience.

You pin a specific buffer, and can jump back to it, but unlike normal markers it persists between sessions and has a couple other nuances to it.

It pretty much works like tabs do though.

Often people are surprised that I can walk and type but honestly I haven’t found it impacts my wpm at all.

Yup, I usually have it set to the slowest setting when typing.

I find I work much better and can think clearer while walking, as it keeps the blood flowing and makes me feel more awake and engaged.

If I have a tough problem I’m trying to work through I turn the speed up to a faster pace and sorta just work through it in my head while speed walking, often this helps a lot!

During meetings when I’m bored I also turn the speed up a bit.

I often get around 10k to 12k steps in a day now.

Note I don’t stay on the treadmill all day long, I usually clock a good 4 hours on it though.

Then I take a break and chill on the couch with my work laptop, usually I leave my more “chill” tasks like writing my tests for this part, and throw on some Netflix while I churn all my tests out.

Highly recommend it, I’ve lost a good 15ish lbs now in the past year since I started doing it, and I just generally feel a lot better, less depressed, less anxious :)

I have heard of jupyter but am not familiar with its nuances.

But doing python dev with neovim is very doable, it uses the same LSP I think.

I personally have a dedicated dev machine running debian that has everything on it, including nvim configured.

I SSH into my dev box from other machines to do work, because neovim is a TUI it “just works” over SSH inside the terminal itself, which is what I like about it.

It feels good to just

1. SSH into my box
2. tmuxinator my-project-name

And boom, 4 tmux tabs pop open ready to go in the terminal:

• nvim (pointing at the project dir)
• lazygit already open
• nvim (pointing at my secrets.json file elsewhere)
• an extra general console window opened to project root

And I can just deep dive into working asap in just those 2 steps, it feels very smooth.

I often can even just do tmux a (short for attach) to just straight re-open whatever session I last had open in tmux, instantly jumping right back into where I left off.

I try and start using it for basic tasks, like note taking, to get used to its interface and basic commands like :w and :q, as well as switching between insert and cmd mode.

Once you are familiar with switching between modes, copying, pasting, etc, then you probably will wanna Starr learning it’s lua api and how to load in some QoL plugins. Basic stuff like treesitter, telescope, and nvim-tree are good places to start.

Once you feel comfortable with swapping between files with telescope and configuring plugins, I’d deep dive into getting an LSP up and running for your language of choice so you can actually code.

In the interim I’d recommend getting comfy with using tmux in your terminal, try and open new tmux tabs to do units of work instead of constantly cding around.

I like to keep 4 tmux tabs open for a project:

• nvim
• lazygit
• secrets file open in nvim (usually my secrets file is in another dir so it doesn’t check into git)
• a general terminal tab for running commands

From my experience the only big changes I’d say I made overtime are:

1. Font size bumped up

2. Switched to neovim from visual studio, which took like a year to relearn my entire workflow (100% worth it though)

3. Switched from multiscreen setup to one single big screen (largely due to #2 above no longer needing a second screen, tmux+harpoon+telescope+fzf goes brrrr)

4. Switched to a standing desk with a treadmill, because I became able to afford a larger living space where I can fit such a setup.

If I were to do this meme though it’d mostly be #1, there just came a day when I had to pop open my settings and ++ the font size a couple times, that’s how I knew I was getting old.

Lasse is the original maintainer of XZ, they have been placed back in their position as sole maintainer.

“Jia Tan” was the person who slipped the backdoor into XZ and is now banned.

Lasse has already fixed abd removed the backdoor.

XZ itself is critical software everyone uses (its one of the main compression/decompression programs used on linux)

but the best way to avoid getting them is still to just avoiding stupid shit.

This is fine and dandy on a personal pc, but in a work environment you are now being actively targeted by malicious actors if your company is a good target.

Constantly.

So once you are in that zone you do need some fast acting reactive tools that keep watch for viruses.

For casual users I typically recommend using Cinnamon Desktop, it’s the most Windows-esque UI and will be the easiest for them to pick up and use.

I roll with Cinnamon on Ubuntu and it’s been extremely painless, very simple to get stuff do and shit just works.

I have been using Reolink RC-522s outside in the harsh Canadian cold winters. Even at -40 they kept working and their quality hasn’t degraded.

I tried out q few options for NVR software, and I’ve settled on Frigate NVR, it was pretty painless to setup and “just worked”.

Shinobi I found worked at first but three times it shit the bed, silently failed one day, and just stopped working. I’d wipe and re-install and it’d just fail after awhile. Frigate has never had this issue so far.

I use Power over Ethernet for the cameras, so i only had to run 1 single cable (ethernet) to each camera outside, no need to run high voltage which makes it way easier to install.

I use a small mini itx PC as the NVR with a 960ti installed in it for transcoding.

I have a fancy managed 48 port gigabit poe switch which is overkill for just cameras (I have tonnes of other PoE devices on my network as well justifying it), but any “dumb” gigabit poe switch will work for you, as long as you have enough ports for your cameras.

I personally use kubernetes for my machines running self hosted apps, but for most folks that’s overkill abd you can just use docker compose!

This by a long shot, I agree.

What CLI tools do you find have install problems on Powershell?

Everything I’ve used can be installed “headless”, often using winget now.

But powershell just sucks and windows file system is cumbersome, so limux is still better.

So far any use case I’ve solved with just SSH.

What specifically do you need to rdp in for?

You can’t “invoke logic via HTML attributes,”

Oh boy a semantic argument

Proceeds to describe how you can use HTMX to invoke logic via HTML attributes

Whatever you want to call it, trigger, invoke, whatever.

You can leverage HTML attributes to automatically cause arbitrary Javascript ajax calls to happen by extension if those attributes being present.

Trying to argue the semantics of this is stupid.

You put HTML attributes on shit, and the presence of those attributes in turn causes arbitrary Javascript client side logic to fire off purely due to the presence of those attributes.

That’s like, literally it’s entire shtick.

And any web dev who remotely understands the point of CSP and why it was created, should instantly have alarm bells going off at the concept of triggering arbitrary ajax via html attributes.

“HTMX doesn’t bypass CSP! It just (proceeds to describe the exact mechanism by which it bypasses CSP)”

It’s bonkers how many people don’t grok this, SMH.

I see you don’t understand what the word “if” means, and you also don’t understand modern js practices.

That’s like saying you “serve React client side” and “transpile JavaScript into more JavaScript.” Jesus, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

You don’t serve react client side, any junior dev is familiar with transpiling framework code to produce their website. Yes, you 100% transpile react code before serving it, the fact you dont understand what I am talking about speaks volumes. It’s clear this whole time I’ve been having a discussion with someone who doesn’t even know the absolute bare minimum of day 1 front end dev. If you don’t understand how literally normal and industry standard something as basic as transpiling js is, you have literally zero business spreading info about something far more serious as HTMX.

You are in zero way qualified to be recommending anyone expose their websites to the security nightmare that is HTMX, stop spreading misinfo, stop encouraging devs to do so.ething stupid, and go learn the basics of FE dev practices.

If you don’t understand the tools of the trade, stop spreading terrible info about them online.

Everything you have written in this entire thread has made everyone who has read it stupider and you have actively made the internet a worse place. You are a prime example of the exact thing that is wrong with web devs nowadays.

Go back to the drawing board, you have a LOT to learn still it sounds like.

I prefer just writing my html, js, css, as is, and then transpiling to pack it down, treeshake, hash, cache bust, CSP, etc etc.

The amount if headache, overhead, inversion of control, mess, and bloat involved in frameworks tends to make me spend way too much time on writing boilerplate.

template and slot exist now, and modern js can do most of the shit fancy libs used to.

There’s very little need for frameworks unless you meed a SUPER dynamic website that has tonnes of mutability.

The amount if times i see people load in like 3 frameworks and 10mb of bullshit and ten js files to make a fucking static form that doesn’t even do anything fancy is insane.

Just fucking write the like… 8 lines of normal code to populate the form, wtf? Why are we using routers at all, HTTP already exists and does that, why did we re-invent http?

Front-end devs need to spend less time installing npm packages to try and magically solve their issues and just learn how to actually write code, SMH.
