I haven't gotten to performance testing just yet, that should happen pretty soon. Thanks for the local-path-provisioner recommendation, I'll definitely give it a go!

I am currently streaming my work on migrating HomelabOS from a docker-compose based implementation to a k8s (actually k3s) based implementation. With Longhorn backing it, I'm pretty excited by the possibilities. It will stay as generic as HomelabOS is, so it will be deployable on anything from a pi on up to big cloud machines.

I won't be doing any 3d printing or anything like that though, so what the author here is doing looks fun in it's own right!

Since this is currently talking to AWS and k8s directly, unless you are setup in a way that would let AWS know about the intrusion detection, then this is likely out of scope for now.

Similar to the logs/systems access. If AWS or k8s can read the logs, there is a chance we can crunch them, if they are in a separate logging platform, we would currently be unable to fetch that information. Great ideas for future features though!

It is currently read only yes.

Release engineer here.

With the exception of the first example (I'm not sure how good it would be at event monitoring like that, though we're absolutely going to try it out!), I think all of these should work. We've tested the daily spend report already.

Give it a shot and let us know how it works for you!

I would vote for this in the US in a heartbeat. Give them a flip phone. They can still call, text, even take very bad photos, without the targeted harm that is modern social media.

> I want my kids to experience some hardship where your boss is yelling at you to get shit done

This is a horrendous take, and I’m glad you’re not my parent.

They’ll learn the world isn’t rainbows and sunshine without being in a toxic work environment before they’re even old enough to vote.

The amount of “pro child labor” comments in this thread is truly disheartening.

I specified “work desk” for a reason. Of course I still have a mouse for gaming and music.

Current favorite is the UHK, linked in the article. Main reason is the split, secondary reason is the firmware for things like the mouse keys and custom layers.

The mouse that I ditched in favor of this setup was a vertical mouse, I definitely agree that is better than your standard variety.

The mouse key layer includes scrolling keys, and I do actually have a scroll wheel on the left module which I use a decent bit while reading. Best of both worlds IMO.

Of course, to each their own!

The mouse keys specifically are part of the keyboard firmware. So those would work in linux. For window management, i3 is a common one. Shortcat is the only one I haven't found a linux alternative for.

My previously favorite keyboard, Das Keyboard, has a rotary encoder for the volume control, and it's fantastic. I agree that sliders and encoders could/should be used more. There are plenty of great MIDI devices out there that offer them, I should play around with some of them for day to day stuff like this rather than just music.

Citation needed for the claim that governments enforce standards for screws. Maybe in the stuff they buy, but that’s not the same thing.

I don't know where you're getting your information, but there is absolutely not an expectation to divulge passwords for online accounts upon re-entry to the US.

Off topic, but I deleted the Lyft app last month after I rode one of their scooters home. Apparently, they have a geofenced area around downtown, and any ending of the ride outside of that area is considered "bad parking" and they will charge you a $50 fee. They put the fee on my receipt, along with a $50 credit, as a warning I guess.

The issue I have with this is that there are many "no go" areas downtown, like the pedestrian mall, and the scooter will simply stop working if you go into those areas. You have to manually push the scooter back out of the area before it will start working again. Great, perfect, fine, good, so then why did you let me drive it outside of the valid downtown area to begin with?
