I don't know if starting a rice farm is a feasible way to pay off student loans or mortgages for most people.

I had this recently happen as well. I always go through namecheap and use their (now free) privacy offering, yet from one of my domains (a .digital) I received lots of spam calls from Indian dev shops offering their services. Thankfully it only lasted a few days.

Hey, I created this simple project/guide for a use case I had. I figured it would be a good opportunity to demonstrate a basic infrastructure-as-code project that others might also find helpful.

My use case was to create a bastion host, or an environment on the edge of my homelab, which is the only ingress point from the outside web.

It might be worthwhile to use a library like Flask which has less batteries included. This will force you to figure out which pieces of the puzzle you are missing and will (hopefully) allow you to learn a lot through exploration.

Once you understand what everything is doing, going back to Django, you should understand what all of the components are doing.

Django & Flask are not exactly one-to-one with the way they handle a lot of things, but I think it would still be a useful exercise.

Maybe I'm just wearing a foil-helmet, but the presence of a front-facing camera on an always-on device is concerning to me when there is no real good reason to have it.

I'd just go on Amazon and find some cheapo phone like the BLU R1 HD. Just find one that is compatible with your provider.

Maybe I am biased, but I agree with the other user on here that Ansible is a good solution for keeping the environments the same.

However, if you're feeling brave, you should definitely check out OpenShift (community version at http://openshift.org). OpenShift is basically Kubernetes with a bunch of cool stuff added, one especially useful feature is source-to-image.

It pulls your code from a scm repo and finds a builder image (or you can choose one) and it will build the docker image for you. You can have it pull whenever there is new code and rebuild the image and deploy if you want.

On top of that you get lots of cool docker orchestration features.

I'll check them out, thanks!

Do you have any book recommendations for these techniques? I tried the "memory palace" or the method of loci and had a small degree of success, but never found it practical. I'd love to give it another go though.

Is this somehow relevant to the topic or are you just blindly advertising your shirts?

I like the robot one, but I don't believe that these in any way contribute to the post.
