The difference between fiber module and RJ45 is massive. I found it funny that Ubiquity own switches (at least my Enterprise 8 PoE - the one they call "vintage" - I kid you not) will set the fan default to 35 (whatever that value means) if you use SFP+ RJ45 module (regardless of temps), and have fans at 0 without the module, when the switch is below 75 celsius.

Ironically, one of my switches with the RJ45 module runs cooler than the one without because Ubiquity does not let you do any fan control on Unifi Enterprise 8 PoE.

A hidden cost of self-hosting.

I love self-hosting and run tons of services that I use daily. The thought of random hardware failures scares me, though. Troubleshooting hardware failure is hard and time consuming. Having spare minipcs is expensive. My NAS server failing would have the biggest impact, however.

I am not sure it's meant to be a negative thing. Obviously, a lot depends on the context here.

But, I've developed a dozen or so projects with Claude code. I am meant to be the only user.

I am maintaining a homelab setup (homelab production environment, really) with a few dozen services, combination of open source and my own - closed sourced - ones.

I had tons of ideas of how to set things up. It evolved naturally, so changing things was hard. Progress was quite slow.

Now, I have a pretty much ideal end-state - runs on auto-pilot, version bumps mostly managed by Renovate, ingress is properly isolated and secured (to the extent I am familiar of).

I was able to achieve things I wouldnt've otherwise in that time. I skipped parts I did not care about and let LLMs drive the changes under supervision. I spent more time on things I did care about, and was interested in learning.

Yeah, most of my LLM code is sitting closed source and that's by design.

I noticed some of my hybrid repositories were slow on regular git commands (eg log) and running garbage collection manual resolved it. Perhaps, jj created a lot of unreachable objects?

I really loved jujutsu for the few weeks that I used it. However, I did find all my tools that rely on Git (eg Gitlab CLI that can open merge request from the current branch) breaking because JJ operations result in detached head in Git.

In addition, mixing Git and JJ will result in your repos becoming really slow when you do need to run some Git operation.

I use syncthing to sync from paperless data folder which runs on Kubernetes (k3s).

It's a one-way sync. Paperless is the authoritative location. The only reason I back up to Google drive is so that my phone has easy access to the documents I may need on the go.

Disclaimer: I don't have a horse in this race, and don't use Jetbrains products.

I read the dialog, and the contents is extremely clear - I can send the non-anonymized data to help improve the product, or not. It doesn't say this is a required action to use the plugin. Less is more. I prefer less text with the clear prompt to consent or not. I don't think this needs a fine print of pages long terms and conditions.

I ran over a 1000 searches as an early adopter last month and this is a welcome change. I also notice how often I search for the same thing over and over, or use product name searches using Kagi as a gateway. I think this shows how poor my learning comprehension / documenting habits are. Thanks for bumping up the limits, though.

I want to utilise lenses and optimise my search better. Any tips?

Never used disko, are there any gotchas? Will it format my drivers if I run nix rebuild?

You can also go to the specific line you pick from fzf search

nvim $(rg . --vimgrep | fzf | awk -F: '{print $1, "+" $2+0}')

On a scale where one extreme is buying a refractometer to optimize every last aspect of coffee making, and the other end is instant coffee from Lidl, there is a wide range in the middle.

V60, Aeropress (only one needed, but I like both for some variety), a decent hand grinder, and good beans is hardly that much money (amortized over years of use, or "cost per wear"), let alone maintenance.

I bought these around 10 years ago (well, v60 twice, I broke it, and I like it ceramic, and I have to buy beans every few weeks), and they are still going strong. The process takes about 5 minutes total time, including brewing. I would never replace it with an instant coffee, I would rather stop drinking coffee altogether.

It does make traveling a bit tricky, as I refuse to carry additional gear around, and don't always have access to good coffee places.

I have to admit, in the beginning, I was looking for the holy grail setup like with other hobbies, but luckily, was not wealthy enough to sink a ton of money into it.

I actually had a lot of fun playing Stadia games.

I think FPS and reaction type games are not it's strengths, but some third person action / adventure games have been super fun. Sometimes I forgot it was not running games locally. Impressive tech.

I went to see his live performance in Amsterdam a few years back. The show had been postponed due to back injury but it ended up happening a year later, and it was mesmerizing.

From what I understood the transition is of strategic nature. Less dependency on third party suppliers for vital components.

The performance and/or battery gains is almost incidental.
