Two mini itx machines sitting on top of a piece of countertop that’s on the floor of an hvac/utility room. The power strip is resting on a metal tube that is mounted to the two. One machine is a white case with a WiFi antenna on top, the other is black. White network cables are connected to them.

My next step is to go upstream and try setting it up from scratch to essentially replicate @futur.blue s journey to zeppelin.

If the indexing starts to lag it’s not stale posts showing but entire feeds fail to load as freshness is a major factor in how it fetches. And a slow plc is even worse since appview cant validate a user exists and returns confusing 401s.

Verdict on zeppelin:
A lot of work has been done to provide an all in one setup for operating an app view with client, working through the setup taught me a tremendous amount about what an app view is and the invisible dependencies. In particular just how much everything depends on indexes.

Young Europeans leave their parents’ home at the age of 26 on average.

However, this varies significantly between EU countries.

According to the latest survey, the youngest Europeans to leave home are, on average, Finnish, at 21.4 🇫🇮 and the eldest are Croatians, at 31.3 🇭🇷

Did a little quick reading since QoS in k8s is typically cpu/mem. It depends on the network adapter in use and what’s available to it. ovn for example provides network qos

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

Thank you for your service. It used to be a ghost town in the morning. I was shocked by the activity when I was state side.

Moving relay and indexer to separate box somehow broke the front end. Really hope it’s not something stupid like host name being part of the db records.
On the other hand they’re running way faster thanks to this being my gaming pc with double the resources. I’m just constrained by the 1TB ssd

Evelyn @chipnick.com · 2d

Turning my desktop into a server but I yanked the gpu for llm funsies so I can't do a normal linux install.

Solution? Dig up an old ssd from a dead box that hasn't run in over a year.

Realllly hope the dist upgrades go well.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Want to learn why asking "Why?" is soo important?

How about the future of platform engineering?

Today we had some long conversations about Arc Bash and the future of scripting as well as platforms and the rise and fall of Kubernetes.\nThe fall of Kubernetes. Hmm. I'll have Claude write a new one
