I have something similar to host paths with node selectors: an NFS provisioner for PVs. The provisioner is tied to the node with the large disk. It’s not resilient to node outages, but allows me to spread pods across the nodes. For my deployments, I’m preferring to use S3 storage wherever possible.

Excellent write-up. I had Nextcloud running on K3s with its files on a NAS which were shared with Minio and it worked well. I’m looking into Longhorn, but only have 2 nodes and it wants at least 3. I’m reevaluating my resiliency needs in favour of simplification.

I’ve been looking to do this, but haven’t found a good, easy to use pull thru proxy for docker, ghcr.io and some other registries. Most support docker only.

This one looks promising but overly complicated to set up.

A few times now, I’ve gone to restart a container and the repo’s been moved, archived or paywalled. Other times, I’m running a few versions behind and the maintainer decided to not support it, but upgrading would mean a complete overhaul of my Helm values file. Ugh!

I was considering a docker registry on separate ports for each upstream registry I’d like to proxy/cache.

I read an opinion piece that suggested that he is upset that Minnesota is the only blue state in a region of red. Given that Minnesota is primarily white, he felt that he could use the Somali fraud as a way to turn [white] people against the democrats using xenophobia.

Edit: I found the article.

I think they prefer to be called Native United States of Americans.

(This is a bad joke, playing on the original topic, don’t hate me)

Generally speaking, I’ve found that the techie forums are pretty healthy but the normie ones tend to be lacking in content.

I have 3 cordless drills and 1 corded. Every time I need to use one, the cordless ones are out of batteries despite charging them before putting them away. The battery pack is stored for a couple of months between projects. These are the second set of batteries and they weren’t cheap.

Oh, and I’m cursed for batteries. I’ve had two instances of a brand new car battery failing after a few months due to fused plates. The mechanic says that it never happens.

I’d love to get an electric car, but feel that that would be tempting fate.

I’m self hosting to learn. I’ve been hacked before and I lost stuff and then I refined my technique and started over again. Nothing I do is “mission critical”, so I now have the mindset that it will fail, I will lose data and time and I will get hacked. Honestly, it’s helped me to be better at home and at my workplace to have this mindset. Always plan for failure (and keep backups).

Not 75%, just 3.5% is needed (probably).

You have a lot of good points and I may have missed the intent of the article, but a knee jerk reaction of “lower traffic = AI is bad” is not helpful either. My point is that I frequently find myself hitting a page just to check a reference, quote or remember something. AI search results can be useful here. It’s no different than how DuckDugkGo has a sidebar if the results are from StackOverflow. It’s nice to get quick answers. I would like to see a fair solution to the content creators being able to stay in business.

This will be unpopular, but hear me out. Maybe the decline in visitors is only a decline in the folks who are simply looking for a specific word or name and the forgot. Like, that one guy who believed in the survival of the fittest. Um. Let me try to remember. I think he had an epic beard. Ah! Darwin! I just needed a reminder, I didn’t want to read the entire article on him because I did that years ago.

Look at your own behaviors on lemmy. How often do you click/tap through to the complete article? What if it’s just a headline? What if it’s the whole article pasted into the body of the post? Click bait headlines are almost universally hated, but it’s a desperate attempt to drive traffic to the site. Sometimes all you need is the article synopsis. Soccer team A beats team B in overtime. Great, that’s all I need to know…unless I have a fantasy team.

You just described most tech stocks.

As Cory Doctrow explains:

the fundamental duty of every CEO of every high-growth tech company: explaining how his company will continue to grow. These growth stories are key, because growth stocks trade at a huge premium relative to the stocks of “mature” companies.

This contradicts what I’m reading in that AI model costs grow with each generation, not shrink.

I came here to see if it was the early signs of the demise of YouTube. I secretly want all these content producers to move to a privacy-respecting platform, especially those who produce tech or privacy related content.

Now, for why I don’t watch videos anymore, the medium isn’t as easily consumed by me. I prefer text. At home, it’s noisy and I get interrupted every 90 seconds. I lose interest quickly and fast forwarding isn’t as easy as scanning text for a topic shift. My mind wanders on some topics, internally exploring that topic deeper. With text, i can just stop reading. With video, i need to realize that I’m processing a thought and hit pause, then rewind a bit. I get interrupted a lot. On the bus, I need to remember headphones and I hate when people shoulder surf. That’s harder to do with text. Give me a plain text RSS feed that I can read anytime.

I came here to say the same thing except that I have a pi locally and one at a relative’s house. I back up to the local pi and a nightly cron starts rsync to pull my local copy.

I chose this so that i could control the rstnc start time, bandwidth and stop time but also so I could leave the remote network vanilla with no open ports, etc. With bandwidth limiting, it may take a few days to catch up from full backups, but a differential is same day.

Be sure to use a RO filesystem or overlay FS on the Pi card. I’ve had them go corrupt.

States have argued successfully to tax cross state commerce. That’s why you get charged local sales tax even when ordering from a company that does not have a presence in your state. I don’t see this as any different, but someone will need to go first to set the precedent.

This is the FTC’s rule, but nothing prevents each and every state from implementing a law to do the exact same thing, except slightly differently than every other state, making it extremely costly for the companies to implement.

I couldn’t afford one of those fancy 2-cassette boomboxes, so I had my friend bring his tape deck and we put them real close together in the quietest room of the house and recorded that way. Having several siblings meant that there were no quiet places, so we used the empty garage when my parents were at work. The audio was autrocious, tons of echo and static, but I played that tape thin until it snapped.
