NickBusey··on Why I'm building a Home Lab with K8s on Raspberry Pis
I haven't gotten to performance testing just yet, that should happen pretty soon. Thanks for the local-path-provisioner recommendation, I'll definitely give it a go!
NickBusey··on Why I'm building a Home Lab with K8s on Raspberry Pis
I am currently streaming my work on migrating HomelabOS from a docker-compose based implementation to a k8s (actually k3s) based implementation. With Longhorn backing it, I'm pretty excited by the possibilities. It will stay as generic as HomelabOS is, so it will be deployable on anything from a pi on up to big cloud machines.

I won't be doing any 3d printing or anything like that though, so what the author here is doing looks fun in it's own right!

NickBusey··on Show HN: Release AI – Talk to Your Infrastructure
You can, sorry about that! This should be fixed now.

If you have any other problems please hop in the slack or shoot us an email! https://join.slack.com/t/release-ai/shared_invite/zt-20dxgp2...

NickBusey··on Show HN: Release AI – Talk to Your Infrastructure
Since this is currently talking to AWS and k8s directly, unless you are setup in a way that would let AWS know about the intrusion detection, then this is likely out of scope for now.

Similar to the logs/systems access. If AWS or k8s can read the logs, there is a chance we can crunch them, if they are in a separate logging platform, we would currently be unable to fetch that information. Great ideas for future features though!

It is currently read only yes.

NickBusey··on Show HN: Release AI – Talk to Your Infrastructure
Release engineer here.

With the exception of the first example (I'm not sure how good it would be at event monitoring like that, though we're absolutely going to try it out!), I think all of these should work. We've tested the daily spend report already.

Give it a shot and let us know how it works for you!

NickBusey··on Parents in Ireland town to voluntarily ban smartphones for kids as old as 13
I would vote for this in the US in a heartbeat. Give them a flip phone. They can still call, text, even take very bad photos, without the targeted harm that is modern social media.
NickBusey··on Child Labor Is on the Rise
> I want my kids to experience some hardship where your boss is yelling at you to get shit done

This is a horrendous take, and I’m glad you’re not my parent.

They’ll learn the world isn’t rainbows and sunshine without being in a toxic work environment before they’re even old enough to vote.

NickBusey··on Child Labor Is on the Rise
The amount of “pro child labor” comments in this thread is truly disheartening.
NickBusey··on Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse
I specified “work desk” for a reason. Of course I still have a mouse for gaming and music.
NickBusey··on Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse
Current favorite is the UHK, linked in the article. Main reason is the split, secondary reason is the firmware for things like the mouse keys and custom layers.
NickBusey··on Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse
The mouse that I ditched in favor of this setup was a vertical mouse, I definitely agree that is better than your standard variety.

The mouse key layer includes scrolling keys, and I do actually have a scroll wheel on the left module which I use a decent bit while reading. Best of both worlds IMO.

Of course, to each their own!

NickBusey··on Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse
The mouse keys specifically are part of the keyboard firmware. So those would work in linux. For window management, i3 is a common one. Shortcat is the only one I haven't found a linux alternative for.
NickBusey··on Exterminate your desk: How to remove your mouse
My previously favorite keyboard, Das Keyboard, has a rotary encoder for the volume control, and it's fantastic. I agree that sliders and encoders could/should be used more. There are plenty of great MIDI devices out there that offer them, I should play around with some of them for day to day stuff like this rather than just music.
NickBusey··on EU sends Apple stark warning over USB-C charging on new iPhones
Citation needed for the claim that governments enforce standards for screws. Maybe in the stuff they buy, but that’s not the same thing.
NickBusey··on The Prime Video microservices to monolith story
It’s just yaml. It’s pretty boring.
NickBusey··on Digital Security Tips to Prevent the Cops from Ruining Your Trip Abroad
I don't know where you're getting your information, but there is absolutely not an expectation to divulge passwords for online accounts upon re-entry to the US.
NickBusey··on Lyft to cut 1,072 employees, or 26% of its workforce
Off topic, but I deleted the Lyft app last month after I rode one of their scooters home. Apparently, they have a geofenced area around downtown, and any ending of the ride outside of that area is considered "bad parking" and they will charge you a $50 fee. They put the fee on my receipt, along with a $50 credit, as a warning I guess.

The issue I have with this is that there are many "no go" areas downtown, like the pedestrian mall, and the scooter will simply stop working if you go into those areas. You have to manually push the scooter back out of the area before it will start working again. Great, perfect, fine, good, so then why did you let me drive it outside of the valid downtown area to begin with?

NickBusey··on Datomic is Free
Free as in beer. Not free as in speech.

Datomic will continue to be developed at Nubank, where it is a critical piece of our infrastructure.

NickBusey··on Congress is more Christian and religious than the general public
> Less than 4% of Congress members say they're unaffiliated with religion or don't know. PRRI's survey says nearly 27% of the general public is unaffiliated.

THIS is the biggest disparity in the article. Not that X or Y faith or under or over represented, but that almost a full 1/3 of the country is non-religious, yet less than 5% of Congress matches that view point.

We need more openly atheist leaders.

NickBusey··on YouTube, the jewel of the internet
> I think we’ll see them leapfrogging millennials on the career ladder because they had a youth where they could spend their entire time learning literally everything there is to know about their passion for free.

I’m a millennial and I spent my youth learning everything there is to know about my passions for free. YouTube is not they only avenue of free online education.

NickBusey··on The EARN IT bill is back, seeking to scan our messages and photos
I like to ask why they have a door on their bathroom.
NickBusey··on Rural Americans are importing tiny Japanese pickup trucks
The insinuation that you need a F-150 to go fishing and drink beer is hilarious.

> Are paywalls ok?

It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic.

NickBusey··on Swarm
To each their own I guess. I listened to it with headphones, and it was very soothing.
NickBusey··on DPReview’s Founder Blasts Amazon’s CEO: ‘What a Waste’
This is not about pressure to keep some company going, but about the vast amounts of photography and related-gear knowledge that DPReview.com contains.

I have been using DPReview to pick my camera gear for over 20 years. It would be an absolute tragedy for the photography community if it goes away.

NickBusey··on Photographer captures ultra-rare red ring of light over Italy
> ELVE stands for Emissions of Light and Very Low-Frequency Perturbations due to Electromagnetic Pulse Sources.

It's a shame they didn't go with the full acronym, EOLAVLFPDTEPS.

Rolls off the tongue.

NickBusey··on The Contradictions of Sam Altman
I believe humans will continue to be useful. You apparently do not. I have not missed anything.
NickBusey··on The Contradictions of Sam Altman
I like that your first point asks for data on a common phenomenon. (Side note: Everyone was reassigned or got a better job? You sure about that?)

Then your second point is a wild anecdote with zero data. (Side note: With zero additional data I can tell you that your “judging” of their profit is wildly inaccurate.)

NickBusey··on The Contradictions of Sam Altman
Self checkout machines put people out of a job.

Cars put stable boys out of jobs.

Light bulbs put candlemakers out of jobs.

Are the people who made them also morally culpable?

Let’s just make no progress ever in the name of employment I guess. /s
