Curious bout your use case for building all software from source, is it because you're worried about the supply chain since nixpkgs builds don't have reproducibility guarantee?

but the community still gets the source code, kudos to the Garnix team!

Even if the good people fighting for this win, Microsoft will eventually enshittify it again. It’s just what Microslop does.

There's no future for Windows. I think most people should move to Linux, or to macOS if they still need proprietary software for work.

Yeah we can tell...

But we didn't have pressure to switch from C to Python & solved it down our throats by management, or social media telling us if you don't use Python you're getting left behind, did we?

In C vs. Python case, we know about technical trade-offs and when to use what, but in AI productivity neratives, we keep pretending that technical or cognitive debt created by AI doesn't exist.

Sure, person A can be 20% "faster" and suggest that this tool increases productivity by a magnitude, but if it costs person B 50% more time to review A's slop or clean up A's mess, the team's productivity doesn't really increase.

Git itself is decentralized, and we can use email to send patches, but GitHub's role is more like a social network to discover and "star" projects.

I really hope Forgejo/Gitea can get federation to work to the point where we can ditch GitHub, they already have the federated star feature [1] - I'm doing my part by hosting my own Forgejo instances and using Woodpecker CI + my own CI/CD system, and it's faster than GitHub Actions.

Only if you live in a country with decent public transportation. The rest of the world still have to deal with traffic jam and polluted air while commuting (cars are difficult to get in many countries).

I'm currently using Longhorn for storage, but if I find some reasonably priced HDDs, I may add or switch to Rook.

When you make a change in git, it is automatically deployed without the need for human intervention.

The performance is pretty good, but I didn't get a chance to test the reliability because I keep nuking the cluster to try new things :P

I'm currently bumping the versions manually (via a commit), but I plan to automate that with system upgrade controller [1] and Dependabot [2] (or similar)

(Author here) Yep that's my goal too, hence the small form factor PCs. It costs me around 2-5$/month depending on how much I play with it.

(Repo owner here) Glad someone mentioned it, I do have one: https://homelab.khuedoan.com/try_on_a_vm

Although it's still incomplete and not one click yet, that's the direction I'm heading in: anyone can try my homelab on their PC, and if they want to use it on their real hardware, they can continue with the full install.

Ah, for user-facing apps I prefer Go or Rust for their performance, although it's not a hard requirement.

Is production == my day job? If so we don't, we use managed Kubernetes (we used to manage our own clusters but they will be decommissioned soon).

Yes, I aim to keep the amount of languages and tools I use to a minimum:

- For simple scripts, use POSIX sh

- For more complex scripts, use Python

- For the same sort of task, use only one tool (e.g., only use Ansible for configuration management, don't mix in Puppet or Chef)

Also I believe the tag filter is malfunctioning: https://kubesail.com/templates-by-tag/Media

(Repo onwer here) The upgrade process can mostly be automated (for example using Dependabot). I haven't configured it yet, but that's on my TODO list.
