That said: I do also tunnel HTTP, and I've come to terms with the privacy risk. Being able to setup enforcement of things like mTLS at the edge is quite nice.

I don't run addons though, which might be part of it.

I agree with this sentiment as well. Without a doubt, my favorite part of the job is coming up with a solution that just 'feels right', especially when said solution is much cleaner than brute force/naive approach. It sounds cheesy, but it truly is one of my favorite sensations.

I'm the senior-most engineer on my team of about 15. I try to emphasize software craftsmanship, which resonates with some but not all. We have a few engineers who have seemingly become reliant on AI tooling, and I struggle with them. Some of them are trying to push code that they clearly don't understand and aren't reviewing, and I think they're setting themselves up for failure due to lack of growth.

Much better experience than working on a plane. I've done a handful of cross-US flights this year on Alaska Airlines, and trying to do anything network-related on those flights was torture. Super spotty, high latencies, constant timeouts; very frustrating.

Something notable is that the all the hotkeys felt 'just right'. I had to tinker a bunch in Pop OS to get satisfying hotkey combos, and the COSMIC upgrade reset them all.

I usually attribute it to people being lazy, not caring, or not using their brain.

It's quite frustrating when something is *so obviously* wrong, to the point that anyone with a modicum of experience should be able to realize that what was implemented is totally whack. Please, spend at least a few minutes reviewing your work so that I don't have to waste my time on nonsense.

The only issue I had encountered was moving the domain from wix. If memory serves me right, I had to point the NS records to CF to do the transfer, and Wix doesn't allow control over them. I ended up transferring over to Porkbun instead, but using CF for DNS.

Hugo took some getting used to. Most of the templates I had seen were for blogs, but "hugo-scroll" works like a charm for the basic single page site.

I like WebDAV because it 'just works' with the mTLS infra I had already setup on my homelab for access from the outside world.

I use sftpgo (https://sftpgo.com/) on the server side.

Something atypical about my setup is that I wired up miniflux webhooks to n8n and gotify so that when I click "save" on an entry, I get a notification for it. It's a rudimentary way to setup a "read it later" list.

I make extensive use of the webhook triggers. Being able to spin up an endpoint with minimal effort is quite handy.

The data table feature looks useful. Similar to another poster, I've been using json blobs on disk instead, since I don't have concurrency, scaling, or performance concerns for my use cases.

I get some very weird vibes from the n8n subreddit. There's a bunch of 'get rich quick with AI workflows' posts which feel icky.

When on Jellyfin, I used to manually transcode the entire library to ogg and use syncthing to replicate it to my devices. Symfonium's ability to cache transcoded files is quite handy (although the initial backfill of ~20K songs took a few tries)
