TOML or bust

This is a woman who has given birth

I’m not familiar with ports, does it provide an easy way to install packages of a particular version? Is it OpenBSD only, or just a system of installing things?

I’ve got no dog in the race as of yet, I’ve bounced off of nixos a few times because of the general lack of consistency from one package to the next in terms of configuration options made available in the Nix language.

Genuinely curious about how it compares. The nix package manager seems fairly promising, even on non-Nix systems, if I could ever convince myself I needed it

My autistic ass has always thought of it as “I’m going to the (specific) bathroom (that I will be using)”

Java devs gotta be able to read the whole name of their WidgetFactoryBuilderRepositoryConstructorFactoryRepositoryBuilderFactoryRepositoryManagerBuilderFactoryRepositoryFactoryFactoryFactoryBuilderFactory

Can’t forget the intermediate step of PHP 9: PHP borrow checker

PHP has gotten really good over the past few versions, actually. Lots of really great stuff has been added, it feels like it resembles rust more every release lol

This is such a weird statement given UI refers to what the user interfaces with, dunno what wacky drugs you’re on friend

Meanwhile, for my homelab I just use split DNS and a (properly registered+set up) .house domain - But that’s because I have services that I want to have working with one name both inside and outside of my network

Yep, as someone who just recently setup a hyperconverged mini proxmox cluster running ceph for a kubernetes cluster atop it, storage is hard to do right. Wasn’t until after I migrated my minor services to the new cluster that I realized that ceph’s rbd csi can’t be used by multiple pods at once, so having replicas of something like Nextcloud means I’ll have to use object storage instead of block storage. I mean. I can do that, I just don’t want to lol. It also heavily complicates installing apps into Nextcloud.

There’s always the fork network graph, but it’s not exactly easy to spot which forks are good, just the ones with the most recent commits

Well they are both interoperable

Yep, I feel this one. I’m of the opinion that automation should stay out of the way. As a result, my automations are all very carefully crafted to be wife-approved - Anything I can automate is done without interrupting the usual way you’d interact with the thing. My lights are all z-wave light switches, so that anyone who needs a light can just click it on. Any light-based automations are disabled while someone is in the room the lights are in (except ones like “when a movie starts on the Roku, turn off the home theater room light”).

Honestly for me the draw is in minimizing the mental/emotional overhead of forgetfulness. My wife and I both have ADHD, and I have autism. That leads to a potent combination of spacing out and forgetting even very important things.

So both in service of that and as a fun hobby (My special interest is computing), I have automation using presence detection, various timers, Z-wave outlets/light switches (I refuse to use IoT, I prefer local access/control every time), GPS position and various stuff like that, in order to avoid things like leaving our home theater projector powered on unwatched (reducing bulb lifetime), leaving the oven on, leaving the espresso machine on (boiler heating water over and over again unnecessarily, wasting thousands of watt-hours of electricity), turning reptile enclosure lights on/off on a schedule with sunrise/sunset, that sort of thing.

I have this ultimate vision in my head of my bedtime routine going from “Walk through the whole house for a few minutes and lock doors/turn things off” to “Triple-click my bedroom light switch ‘off’ and it turns off the rest of the house lights/TVs/projectors, reduces AC temperature a couple degrees, locks the doors, arms the security system for ‘home’, locks the car…”. You get the idea.

That’s pretty sick! I didn’t even realize there were gtk bindings; I might have to use that for an app I’m wanting to build. Torn between that and Tauri

Certbot also does DNS challenge, fwiw

DNS challenge makes it even easier, since you don’t have to go through the process of transferring it yourself

Yep, gotta take out individual parts one at a time and transfer them over, but you have to do the assembly in roughly reverse order, which means disassembly, then assembly with the new case.

Thanks?

It wasn’t difficult to me, just time consuming really since I was taking it slow and keeping everything organized. I have all the appropriate tools for things like a screen swap and such though, along with the patience and expertise to do it safely - So I might not be the best person to answer about the difficulty in a way that would be true for others.
