Semi-Hemi-Demigod

For me it was Tuesday

Not just Little Ben, but also Medium Ben and Not-Quite-As-Big-As-Big-Ben Ben

I can be at home, but it’s not until I’m in comfy pants, on the couch, with a drink in hand that I’m home

And 9% of the rest would just be griefing them

It’s both of those, and a reference to Moana where the shiny crab calls Maui a “semi-demi mini-god”

I’d love to learn it, but my biggest hurdle has been getting a cluster actually running. Could you recommend a good tutorial?

I can absolutely see the benefit for really huge deployments or complex, highly-available systems. I’ve even sort of used it in my job working with those things. But I’m still just running commands I don’t understand that some sysadmin gave me.

I’ve got 20+ years of professional experience at all different levels. I can take an idea and turn it into a Docker image with fully automated CI/CD on myriad cloud platforms.

K8s is still black magic to me.

This is so true. The big thing about copyright and patents wasn’t that the creator had rights, but that those rights were limited. You get a monopoly on something for a short time, at which point everyone can benefit from it.

Mattermost is open source and has a ton of integrations with other open source tools like Gitlab and CircleCI.

tl;dr - “Winning” and “prospering” are two different things

Imagine not caring about the lives of yeast. Humans can be so heartless.

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. Calibre is great for managing it on a personal machine, but I want something that I can use on the web and then, with a click, send a book to a Kindle or whatever.

As long as I don’t have to use it, sure.

This sounds more like me than “hipster.” It’s not that I like things that then get popular, only to not like them. I like things that haven’t been and will never be popular, just because I like them. I’d love if people started enjoying the things I like because it would help them survive.

Anybody have something they hate they want me to buy so it can be destroyed?

What is it with me and using the least popular thing. I’m sitting here on a Mac, writing Ruby, and posting on Kbin. All my favorite shows get cancelled. None of my favorite musicians are terribly well known. Every new car looks horrible to me.

I think if you want something to be successful, make it as unappealing to me as possible.

I’m on Kbin, what should I wiggle?

Pausing Gluetun might do that, or it might route the Torrent traffic over the regular network, in which case you might see a blip in the download rate before it goes up again.

Personally I prefere this docker-ized torrent client, since it’s got the VPN built right in, and I don’t need a VPN to do anything other than torrents.

Yep. Until customers can provide a clear, concise description of what they want there will always be jobs for programmers.

Also from that site: “Configure your domain name details to point to your home, either with a static ip or a service like DuckDNS or Amazon Route53” - I assume this is what Cloudflare is for instead of Duck or Amazon? I also assume it means "tell Cloudflare to take traffic on port 80 and 443 and send it to NGINX’s 80 and 443 as per the previous bullet) - but how?

Yes, this is configuring Cloudflare’s DNS to point to your home IP address. You shouldn’t need to tell it which port, because that’s on a different layer.
