I do this too. Nix is incredible, until it isn’t and then I regret using it so much.

I’ll probably use something dumber for the next machine, and keep nix for servers and local vms.

I like it! How does your stack look like?

I run coredns with a blocklist, the config is like 4 lines.

What am I missing by not using AdGuard, PiHole and similar?

Current gen LLMs are trained on reddit, stackoverflow, etc. Discord is sitting on little data gold mine ready to be sold to train next gen LLMs.

the ultimate bikeshedding with dotfiles is home-manager with nix, an infinite cacophony of deep pain and enlightened pleasure

disagree, it is a good keyboard but the thumb cluster is not ergonomic. There is better, especially if you are up to build one yourself with a kit. Otherwise the voyager is already an improvement over the moonlander.

sometimes I stumble into stuff I’m sure I’ve already read something about in an article but if I didn’t bookmarked or made a note of it it’s very hard to find again (miniflux flushes content after a certain age)

I really like the idea! At some point I put up a miniflux instance and it has surprisingly been a breath of fresh air for my content consumption. What miniflux and my setup lacks is a way to retrieve stuff I read and this OpenOrb might fit the use case... I will try it out!

I don't understand why Github does not invest more into Dependabot. Everyone need something like this, and Github is positioned to offer the best sca tool there is. And yet... stuff like grouping has only been recently added.

Anyhow, this is useful to rollout dependabot.yaml config at scale: https://github.com/github/evergreen

yes! still feeling it since when I first read it 20 years ago

Right on time, I just got an email from Google Workspace that they are rising prices

I had problem with feeds these last days, turns out it’s cloudflare something something.

Using old reddit worked.

how bad of a housing crisis is in the netherlands?

Wherever I look in europe there is a housing crisis for a reason or another.

I did mostly agree with you that GCP is not Google etc etc until a couple weeks ago when they suddenly announced that they will move most of Policy Intelligence under Security Command Center Premium, throwing most of their customers security teams under the bus.

yes, you can “boost” websites you trust more to give them more priority in search results

In Italy you can fix for 15,20,30 years (same as other southern european countries?). Notably access to credit here is harder due to to the debt crisis we had after 2008.

In the nordics like Sweden is like Australia, you can fix for a few years at most.

Can you elaborate? As someone else in the field I found the advice quite sound

wasn’t that OVH?

> the employers don’t ask “what you are able to do?”, instead of “what are your credentials/studies”.

I think this is cultural.

Italian culture is hierarchical and trust is built upon relationships, you either need the authority of a good cv or a good network to reap opportunities. (This is quite common in southern europe)

Northern europeans, americans etc are more egalitarian and have a task based approach to build trust, and value ones worth accordingly.

(Of course it’s not always as black and white)

Congratulazioni Giulio, well deserved! I remember your home setup post dearly, it’s been very inspiring

Sidenote: if I want to build my little script to find cheap flights on a set of predefined routes... where do I start? It looks like there aren't much open APIs to query in this space

In italy the real estate agent can be sidestepped if you know directly the seller, as a consequence the ads they put up are comically balanced to trigger your curiosity but not too much revealing to let you figure out where the place is.

Such a terrible experience as a buyer, i’m baffled this whole charade hasn’t been disrupted by tech already.

Same stuff can be said for all the devsecops bullshit vendors are trying to push down the throat of every organization.

True that, it also shows in their privacy laws

I feel like this is a management problem that needs to be solved. As the context has changed so should management style.

I love how all this will enable "SEO professionals" and content marketers to destroy SEO.

Literally sawing the very own branch they are sitting on.

Racism is everywhere, what I think eludes americans is that in Europe identities are way more tied to nationality rather than ethnicity.

While this might be true to some extent, a huge difference between the US and Europe is that in the EU the concept of identity revolves more around nationality than ethnicity/race.
