CaptainJustin | 1 year ago | on: TrueNAS CORE 13 is the end of the FreeBSD version

A little off topic but does TrueNAS Scale require an Enterprise SSD for the OS drive? IIRC TrueNAS Scale runs Kubernetes under the hood. I'm curious if a regular consumer SSD would be quickly destroyed by the frequent random writes needed for K8s/etcd?

That is something I have really appreciated about Tailscale. It seems to consistently not mess with the existing environment. Considering it does networking witchcraft and it works on a variety of architectures and OSs this is quite an accomplishment.

I suspect Tailscale's customers have found the same.

I'm battling to find it now... but I read previously that a game studio found 1. they received a lot more variety in support tickets from people on nix (lots of interesting window managers, distros, etc)

2. A huge portion of their support tickets were from the tiny portion of customers running nix.

This was interesting for me to read at the time because I had played with Unity and Unreal Engine. I found developing for a number of platforms to be relatively trivial - but then again I wasn't trying anything particularly impressive or distributing builds etc.

Congratulations and all the best for your venture!

One of my favorite aspects of Factorio was that the environment constrained your scaling. Grow out too fast and your tech won't be able to hold back the evolved hordes. Build too far away before you can defend it and it you'll be defending too far and wide before you even know it.

@iliketrains May I ask if this game will have an environmental component/conflict to constrain the player scaling various concerns and prevent it from becoming a uneventful sim?

So glad to see this. There is a real opportunity to create a decent space for these discussions. Allowing the podcast host to determine the governance model could get interesting and the possibility of allowing podcasts to monetize their /r/ could make it attractive to them

Started trying Vaultwarden last night and so far I'm really impressed. I have it integrated into my desktop, laptops and browsers. I just need to automate my backups. For self-hosting passwords and similar files it seems rock solid so far.

CaptainJustin | 4 years ago | on: Russia space agency head says satellite hacking would justify war: report

At this point it feels like I hear "We will consider X as a declaration of war" from Russia every day or so. It reminds me of the Uno Wild Card. I wonder if they're using it as a catch all for any gaps in their armor?

Can't handle more sanctions? Uno wild card! Don't want anyone supporting the Ukrainian defense effort? Uno wild card! Can't guarantee the security of satellites? Uno wild card!
