  • How much should I spend on an engagement ring?

    Jump

  • A little bit more than what your partner thinks you should spend.

  • The API Tooling Crisis: Why developers are abandoning Postman and its clones?

    Jump

  • Didn't read the article, but that's why I abandoned it.

  • Best way to manage all my services as containers?

    Jump

  • As a tinkerer, I have tried Portainer a couple of times, and another similar thing, but I end up never looking at them, and revert to just jumping into the command line. A bonus of this approach is keeping a copy of all my compose files in a repo.

    If OP is being drawn to this because they want to know everything's running, what they're really looking for is monitoring - probably Uptime Kuma.

  • Half of teenage girls in Japan consult AI about their problems; less than 30% of men in any age group do

  • Why don't I care about the Artemis mission/program?

  • Compulsory moon colony for billionaires would be great thanks.

  • Self hosted book service

    Jump

  • Plus one for Kavita. Only slight bump is that it wants books to be in series because it's quite manga focused.

  • Eye drops made from pig semen deliver cancer treatment to mice

    Jump

  • Mouse doctor: So, I've got good news and bad news.

  • How to get good at tying knots/ropes as a beginner? Should I buy a book, watch youtube videos, or join some type of outdoorsman club?

    Jump

  • Yes. Find something you enjoy that depends on knots. Perhaps a shibari friend.

  • Trying to explain this headline to a time traveler from 2005...

  • How to get a phone notification if my VPS goes offline?

    Jump

  • +1 for Uptime Kuma, I use it with ntfy. If OP doesn't want a self hosted solution, there's UptimeRobot - essentially SAAS Uptime Kuma, but with a free tier.

  • Considering self hosting my own git repositories. What are some options?

    Jump

  • Forgejo + Tailscale. Forgejo is the app behind Codeberg so it's battle tested. I switched to it from Gitea after the controversy.

  • Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

    Jump

  • Yes - Electron makes some sense in a world where developer effort is expensive and memory is cheap. Perhaps the inverse of that situation will encourage more interest native apps.

  • NAS decision paralysis

    Jump

  • Yep - I feel that, especially after the branded hard disk carry on last year.

  • NAS decision paralysis

    Jump

  • I'm a +1 on this. A secondhand Synology set up with some RAID will delay this decision for a few years and give you time to build your expertise on the other aspects without worrying much about data security. It's a pity that you're nearly at the limit of 8TB - otherwise I would have suggested a two bay NAS with 2x8TB, but if you're going to use second hand drives (I do because I'm confident of my backup systems) maybe 4x6TB is better. Bigger drives are harder to come by 2nd hand - and plenty of people will not be comfortable with secondhand spinning rust anyway - if that's you, then a 2 bay with 2x12TB might be a good choice.

    The main downside (according to me) of a Synology is no ZFS, but that didn't bother me until I was two years in and the owner of three of them.

  • My first win building with agents

    Jump

  • Thanks for this thoughtful write up of your process. I'm increasingly thinking about what context the model has and keeping it as focused as possible - both to reduce token usage, and to ensure it doesn't have any cruft in it that potentially causes the model to go down an un-useful path. The prompts for this read like what I imagine a conversation with a junior developer would be when handing off a task.

    In practice, this is usually clearing the context after quite small changes and the prompting for the next one with just what I think it is going to need. I guess this is 'context engineering' although that sounds like too fancy a term for it.

  • How do you manage your home server configuration?

    Jump

  • Proxmox on the metal, then every service as a docker container inside an LXC or VM. Proxmox does nice snapshots (to my NAS) making it a breeze to move them from machine to machine or blow away the Proxmox install and reimport them. All the docker compose files are in git, and the things I apply to every LXC/VM (my monitoring endpoint, apt cache setup etc) are all applied with ansible playbooks also in git. All the LXC's are cloned from a golden image that has my keys, tailscale setup etc.
