I got my account closed with no reason a hair after 12 months. It was good while it lasted, and I have the backups outside of oracle's cloud.

I wouldn’t specifically say nixOS is stable in the same sense debian is but yes, it can totally handle this use case. I mainly run k8s on it, but a few home machines run docker (or, rather, podman) containers.

A thing about nixOS is that quite often you won’t need containers at all and would be better off without them, managing your apps as part of the system state as a whole. I only do that because I can’t be bothered to properly switch to nixOS services for ELK (which is supported by nixOS).

It's a very stable solution in general and usually ends with a configuration that either doesn’t apply at all or applies with no issues. Gitops included for pretty much free. It requires understanding nix, and it can be tricky, but not overly tricky.

All and all I haven’t had an Ubuntu in homelab for two years now and can’t be happier about that.

I replayed it the other week after not touching it since the original release. Was fun. I managed to forget a bunch of puzzles, and the new graphics made it fun to just explore the Ages.

Try VictoriaMetrics. Basically the same feature set as Prometheus, but so much more resource friendly for homelab scale. I store some metrics for 12 months now, because it's easy.

oh, that's actually a fair point! You’re correct.

DHCPv6-PD is still effectively broken, though.

I tried opn/ pfsense, VyOS (the rolling one. Stable is paid only), and a couple commercial options. Surprisingly not a single free/foss option can do IPv6 properly (I was looking specifically for prefix delegation for downstream routers). Cashed out for a single RouterOS CHR license and never bothered since.

But otherwise I tend to like VyOS. the rolling releases as the only free option make it somewhat questionable for something more serious though.

You mentioned failing to find the github markdown specs. Those are the specs.

I'd be curious to see comparison with Logseq. As it's rightly mentioned, there are thousands of note taking apps and I’m not quite sure I see the selling point of SB. I really love the idea of notes as a database, but the query langauage seems subpar, more akin to obsidian's dataview than the overwhelming power of tiddlywiki's filters or Logseq's queries.

I went from evernote to tiddlywiki to Obsidian to Logseq and somewhat stuck here now because I got the powerful queries in a very neat UI. With the market oversaturated as it is, I'd be nice to see what Silverbullet brings to the game that others don’t, what are the distinguishing features.

I disabled DHCP and IPv6

Why, though?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would you need specifically "cloud" logging for that? Spinning up grafana and loki is rather trivial in the modern containerized world and that'd cover 90% of what you want from logs. Neither is a resource hog, too, it's so much better that e.g. the ELK stack for logs that you only look through occasionally.

Honestly, it's hardly newsworthy given how sudo was a thing in windows for quite a while now. I use it pretty often, especially sudo pwsh for elevated shells.
