No, it’s garbage because of its approach to case sensitivity.

It’s case insensitive by default (which is a WTF in itself and encourages the same laziness Windows users thrive on with NTFS) but it also has a case sensitive mode.

Except the case sensitive mode is almost entirely useless because of the amount of apps it breaks that assume the default case-insensitive mode. It also means that you as a programmer have to add extra crap to your file handling code for case insensitive string comparisons if you want to support both modes

The problem with using Vim is that you have to learn Vim, but early in my career I was in single-ecosystem shops that all used IDE’s for whatever tech (Microsoft= Visual Studio, Java = Eclipse / NetBeans, PHP = Sublime Text, arguably not an IDE)

By the time I got to the point in my career where I got to choose the tooling, VSCode was already a thing and it has an extension for anything you can think of.

So I never had to learn Vim, and now it’s in the too-hard basket, and VSCode is ubiquitous and works surprisingly well

Well I think this has been too much Internet for me today

Wouldn’t all my consumer grade switches need to support vlan tagging? I’m pretty sure a bunch of them dont

My proxmox “cluster” is a bunch of old laptops with a single consumer grade NIC in each. I wanted to isolate the VM network from my main home network (have it on a different range) while still allowing all the VM’s to transparently talk to each other regardless of which physical host they happen to be on.

Could I have achieved this with normal vlans? I wanted an overlay network on the VM side but they still need to use my main home network to get internet and I only have a single physical interface on each host which is plugged into my main home network (addresses assigned via my home router).

The OPNsense VM routes between the two networks (the virtual vxlan within Proxmox + my physical home network) and does DHCP / DNS for the VM network

Proxmox requires subtracting 50 from the MTU so it can store it’s vxlan information in the packet.

From the docs:

Because VXLAN encapsulation uses 50 bytes, the MTU needs to be 50 bytes lower than the outgoing physical interface.

It’s super annoying but I couldn’t see another way of having vms be able to talk to each other transparently regardless of which node they are on

I just attached the host NIC to OPNSense and then have a vxlan in proxmox to make the VM network separate from the rest of my home network. Both the host NIC and the vxlan virtual NIC are attached to the VM.

The OPNsense VM acts as a router between the two networks. I host all my shit on the VM network under *.internal.legit.tld and use LetsEncrypt + Traefik to issue SSL certs which work without having to load a CA cert everywhere because I own legit.tld

The only bastard was having to adjust the MTU everywhere within the VM network, that caught me out a couple of times

Ipv4 is simpler and therefore easier for my brain to comprehend.

I deliberately disable IPv6 on all the devices on my home network because it’s really f**n annoying when some service tries to bind to localhost but picks up the IPv6 localhost instead of the IPv4 one

Reminds me of the the sexydancingladies skit from Viva la Dirt League

Yep this for me too. Thankfully VSCode allows comments in its settings.json / launch.json files but most programs use strict JSON which doesn’t allow comments

I used to think that until I figured out yaml and now yaml isn’t so bad.

It helps that text editors know what yaml is now so insert spaces when you hit tab etc

Ah, yes, you’re right. If the focus is just on not giving money to Google then SponsorBlock is unnecessary.

However, I also find most sponsored segments obnoxious as hell so SponsorBlock still helps with making the YouTube experience better in general

What’s currently being marketed as AI reinforces that there’s always someone who can do your job worse for cheaper

I’m just waiting for the “cheaper” part to change. Surely these VC’s will want to see some ROI on the stupid amount of money these hosted models cost. There’s no way the subscription fees being charged cover the actual cost of running the models, so something will have to give eventually

I guess Caddy has been stealing its market share

What’s objectively better is that the neofetch developer actually did what we all fantisize about. Maximum respect

Nvidia on modern Linux (Wayland) is garbage and I’m buying AMD next time.

Like seriously, people will try and tell you “oh you can install the proprietary driver easily now and they’ve come a long way”

Sure, but it’s still garbage. I can’t even full screen a video in Firefox without a it crashing and a bunch of apps simply refuse to work without shitty environment variable hacks to drop back to software rendering

I’m not a noob either, I’ve been using Linux as my primary OS since 2008

Nah win2k pro was really, really slow compared to xp

I mean, Firefox + uBlock Origin + SponsorBlock makes YouTube usable without giving Google more money
