My homelab had spare capacity and I had already offsite backups to Hetzner Storage Box sorted out so it didn't take long or increase my costs.

Very good experience so far. I moved all my photos including multiple complete wedding albums to it, something I couldn't do with Drive without "converting". Nice to finally have all the Google Photos goodies for everything.

Shout out to immich-go, a cli tool for bulk uploads from Google takeout archives.

I did use them in the past to access my homelab via SSH but replaced that a long time ago with VPN.

Every new member with Linux experience at least feels familiar with it, and therefore can get to speed faster and with confidence. When we build containers to be used or built on by other teams, Ubuntu as the base minimizes the friction and support needed for the same reason.

There are Arch/Fedora/etc users too, but Ubuntu is the common denominator. I think it is good enough.

At home I started with Debian and after a few missteps have always come back to it.

Perhaps one just learns to see through the model after a while.

When it comes to books, I avoid anything written by an author debuting after 2022 unless there is a strong recommendation by someone close.

As for genres, it has made me read less purely technical books. My assumption is that I can learn enough of the subject as I go by chatting with a model.

Not clear from the text, but what was your plan using the funding on? If you did not have a plan, what did you expect? VCs want to see how adding more money results in asymmetric returns.

I wonder how long he waited for the CPAN nologin case. I remember requesting a CPAN account 3 years back and it took ~2 months for someone to look at and accept.

Past experiences include Cisco (bad incentives, they make a lot of money from certifications and licenses), TP-Link (broke the case physically when pressing a button, was left without updates after some time), Ubiquiti (could not handle the load of my home network. I had the edgerouter-x though which is weak)

The people holding 10k€+ in cash/ bank savings account that I know are old, tech illiterate, afraid of investing, and oblivious to the effects of inflation. They simply store the money somewhere so they can use it later at a short notice.

With these people you have way too much friction with the Coinbase way. Even if you succeeded in convincing them they deserve yield, it will be hard to compete with investing tools that are integrated into their banking apps that show higher profits than you.

There are numerous ways to shoot yourself in the foot, though, and everything must be configured properly to get to feature parity with GHA (mail server, plugins, credentials, sso, https, port forwarding, webhooks, GitHub app, ...).

But once those are out of the way, its the most flexible and fastest CI system I have ever used.

I find myself planning and jotting down things into a notebook while juggling adult/parent responsibilities. On little longer gaps I research. Then when the occasional longer gap happens I'm ready to start cracking on my desktop. I've been only dabbling with AI but have found that writing prompts by hand in the notebook and using the desk time to execute them works well. This also keeps me in the free tier.

I'm planning to replace the traditional network architecture in my homelab with it to practice Zero Trust.
