selexin··on Coolify: Open-source and self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative
I’m wondering the same thing. Docker Container Registry maybe?
selexin··on Sonos' $30M app fail is cautionary tale against rushing unnecessary updates
Never underestimate the power of internal company politics? Jokes aside, I do agree with you
selexin··on Choosing a Name for Your Computer (1990)
My two computers are named ‘spaghetti’ and ‘potato’. Although I think broke the rules of the linked article because potato is named after its bulky case and relative weight compared to spaghetti.
selexin··on WordPress themes, plugins backdoored in supply chain attack
I see Wordpress as a kitchen knife that is being sold to all ages - I did have more to say in reply to your question, but the more I think about it, the more I think that analogy speaks for itself
selexin··on Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction
I don’t usually post here, especially on such personal topics, but feel I should. I’ve been on SSRIs and SNRIs for some time now (Pristiq, and now Zolof), and can definitely attest to the some of the changes described in the article. I clearly remember reading the documentation in full that came with both drugs before starting each, and the mentioned side effects were only mentioned in passing, along with possibly every other side effect imaginable, so it was very easy to dismiss - especially when you are in a place you know you need help out of. There was also no real warning of long term side effects from both doctors that have prescribed me. I guess I don’t have any real point, other than if you are considering anti-depressants do more research than I did before taking what you’ve been prescribed - and if in doubt get answers from your doctor, and failing that find a better doctor (if you can).
selexin··on The 1.111B class of $0.99 .xyz domains white paper
I’ve been purchasing with namecheap for several years, and I swear it’s gone downhill recently. Things like you have mentioned, I’ve also recently had bugs during domain purchase that fail to secure the actual domain while charging my card (on multiple occasions) - then support not refunding the money back to the card and instead insisting namecheap credit is suffice. It also feels much more like godaddy (or similar) then they used to with all the up-selling they have in the checkout these days.
selexin··on Let's Build a 28-Core Raspberry Pi Cluster
I’ve been running a 4 node rpi cluster at home for about a year and a half now. Originally it was purely for the fun and interest of standing-up a tangible (kubernetes) cluster (like others have said, VMs just aren’t the same thing...). Now I use it all the time to run things on my home network I don’t want to pollute my real computers with. e.g. IoT services like MQTT and a heap of one-off weekend experiments etc. I also use it as a kind of reverse proxy from the outside internet to whichever computer I need to hit internally - just deploy a new nginx pod and simple reverse proxy config, and traefik and some other microservices I have running will go ahead and create lets encrypt certs and create my dns records for me. Oh and I also have some arduino/hardware sensors hooked up to the GPIO pins on different nodes as well. Taint a node to say it has X sensor attached, and k8s runs the pods that need that sensor on the correct node... need to move things around? Just change the node taints then scale down/up the pods and everything is running again. Although that’s probably not a normal use case (I do a fair bit of electronics hacking in my spare time).
selexin··on Please re-add original author to docs and license
Yeh I agree with this. Licensing and possible legalities aside, I think it’s just the right thing to do.

The issue seems to be getting a bit of attention now (when I posted there was 9 thumbs up, now there is 173 and a PR on the readme), so hopefully the current maintainers (re)visit the issue and give him his slice of credit.

Was browsing the Guake issue list for another reason and came across this. I'm genuinely interested to hear what people think of this situation..
