100% agreed. I left the States in 2017. Job searching is tricky now but it's an absolute deal breaker.. Remote or goodbye. I will accept nothing else.

I know this is ridiculous but, if I'm buying a phone to last at least 5-6 years, I'm going to wait for something with Qi2.. I want one of these but I'm thinking about what it's going to be like to live with long term.

Back then, shit was pretty rough though.

Bro no kidding.. You'd install and hoped your keyboard worked by the end of it.

I stuck with it though.. Well over 20 years for me now.

EDIT: I actually remember digging through dbus configs one time for HOURS because I couldn't get my mouse working. No joke I realized at like 3am it wasn't plugged in. Hahah.. It was such a pain in the ass back then you just assumed it was something insane.

I interviewed at a place a few weeks ago. I asked the recruiter what the salary band was. I told her I expected to be in the top 10-15% of that range.

"Well we don't really like to hire someone at that high of a rate."

Thanks for waving the red flag. Good luck to you. Talk to you never.

Medium is actually pretty great for industry news, opinion pieces, or occasionally howtos.

If the kind of tech news you are looking for is like cell phone reviews or Twitter drama, I don't know what to tell you.. Most of what I read on medium tends to have more substance to it.

I don’t pirate music ... because there are reasonable platforms and pricing models which make pirating more hassle than it’s worth.

Hopefully Spotify is not the platform you're talking about. I don't use them because they do not pay the artists. Bandcamp is the spot for music.. It's really the only place I get music anymore.

It auto discovers machines/instances/VMs/containers in the mesh and figures out the secure routing on the fly. If you couldn't ensure a consistent IP from the home address it wouldn't matter.. The service mesh would work it out.

It is probably overkill for this project though.. Something to think about...

Would love to see some base salaries posted along with the responses. If you're getting paid shit base maybe this is how they make up for it?

I'm in SRE. No on call benefits at all. Base salary is 175k USD plus 20% annual bonus.

With Prometheus I would add a section to the scrap config to rewrite the labels attached to each metric. Does such a thing exist for telegraf? I've never used it.

Or could you change the grafana query to just aggregate the values for all pods in that deployment?

Istio is a service mesh. You basically run proxies on the vps and the rpi. The apps make calls to localhost and the proxy layer figures out the communication between each proxy.

Duck dns is just a dynamic dns service. It gives you a stable address even if you don't have a static ip.

This would be nice because I don't need a static ip and I don't have to leak my ip address.

How does the VPS know how to find your rpi?

Could you not just use something like duck dns on a cronjob and give out that url?

I would also need to figure out how to supply ejabberd with the correct certificates for the domain. Since it's running on a different computer than the reverse proxy, would I have to somehow copy the certificate over every time it has to be renewed?

Since the VPS is doing your TLS termination, you would need an encrypted tunnel of some sort. Have you considered something like Istio? That provides mTLS out of the box really.. I've never seen it for this kind of use case but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

the slippery slope that an age limit would entail.

Can you elaborate?

For me personally it's probably mostly just momentum or habit at this point. I got into Linux on the late 90s or early 00s. Vim was the best option at the time so I figured it out mostly out of necessity. Now I'm just so comfortable with it and I've tweaked it to high hell it's like a perfectly broken in pair of shoes.. Everything fits me just right. I don't see any real benefit to switching to vs code. I've tried it but didn't like it. Things like filesystem navigation were so clunky and slow compared to what I was used to.

Whatever.. No judgement. There are obviously great developers out there using vs code. This just works for me.

Out of curiosity, what country is this? That seems like a really low number.. Working full time you would have 760 hours in less than 6 months.

Has to be the right pizza though.

Gaeta's tomato pie in north Philly is some of the best in the world. I think they only sell that cold.. I don't think I've ever had it hot.

Obviously only talking about user space here.. Kube doesn't have any ambitions to manage kernel drivers or whatever (at least not until eBPF gets wider adoption).

Basically though, they have the same goals. To run programs and manage network communications. Kube does this in an extremely flexible way and it allows you to tolerate failures much more gracefully than the old ways. It's nowhere near appropriate as a replacement for a desktop distribution though.. I'm talking about the server world.

The way kube works is really just a beautiful thing to see and I never want to manage a server the old way again if I can avoid it. The wider infrastructure industry is all moving in this direction and the overwhelming bulk of open-source development effort is going into cloud native tooling.. The CNCF landscape map alone shows how huge of an explosion is occurring right now.. It's an exciting time to be involved.

I think you can search for discord servers in the web/desktop app, can't you? I'm on mobile at the moment and don't see it in the app. I feel like I've done it before though.

Ordinarily I look for something more specific about what I'm trying to do.. For self hosting stuff, the kubernetes@home thing is solid. The cncf server is great too. If that's not you jam though obviously it won't help.. For me personally, kubernetes is basically just a modern implementation of a Linux distro. Obv ymmv.

Lair of the Minotaur at Kuma's Corner in Chicago. Nothing else comes close.

Been 20ish years since I've talked to my dad. So long ago that I don't really have emotions about it anymore.. It just is what it is.

I don't ever remember being like angry or vindictive or whatever when I ended it.. It was more recognizing that this person is a train wreck and the relationship with them does more harm than good. It's not worth the effort. It has always been about protecting my mental health more than it has been punishing his shitty behavior.

Every two weeks. I've been following from the beginning.. It's the best show on the tubes.
