I never had to adjust the chunk to get it to sit right, the maul hit exactly where I told it to, and it even stacked itself!

In the case of smartOS (which I've never used) it would seem like that is achieved in the design because the USB isn't changing. Reboot and you are back to a clean slate.

Isn't this how game arcades boot machines? They all netboot from a single image for the game you have selected? That is what it seems smartOS is doing but maybe I'm missing the point.

Does anyone know if something like this is possible with Proxmox? I've got three servers I'm thinking of setting up as a small cluster and would like to boot them from a single image instead of manually setting PVE on each. Ansible or salt is an option but that tends to degrade over time.

We are a growing team of software engineers, robotics specialists, aviation experts, and machine learning professionals building the software that industries are adopting for managing their drone and robot fleets.

We are looking for senior engineers:

- Full-stack Cloud Engineers (Go, Svelte, Postgres, Kafka)

- Senior Robotics Engineers (C++, Python, ROS, PX4)

- DevOps Engineers (Hashicorp Stack, AWS & Azure)

Some technical benefits to Alembic:

- It will give you the structure for upgrades and downgrades.

- Has a clean interface for DDL operations

- Supports every (?) database that SA does

- You can use it in "Offline" mode if you don't want to have Python and all the dependencies on the server or have to hand the migration off to someone else that has access.

- The branch feature is really nifty if you are in advanced situations.

Some non-technical benefits with Alembic

- It is open source

- zzzeek, the author, is pretty active on here and has built both SQLAlchemy and Alembic so there is a lot of cohesion in styles.

- The issue tracker is active and responsive

- The code is stable (something you want in a migration tool) and is unlikely to go anywhere.

Highly recommend.

I live on 20 acres on the back side of a farm quarter, have a 2,000/sqft garden, a tractor, a big truck, ATV's, dirt bikes, a river in the back section of the property, wildlife, a dog, farm land, clean air, and the best drinking water! We regularly have bonfires, do target shooting, watch the sunset (and sunrise which can be even better!), and the stars are way bigger here.

I'm about 20 mins out of "town" which is about 60-90K people. I rent a small 12x12 office in town for $200/mth where I get internet (75down/15up) to work. Considering my 3br, 2bth house rent is $400, I think I am ahead of most as far total cost of housing.

I have everything I need, most of what I want, and very little of what I don't want. It's a great lifestyle. I have found that the people here are what keeps me.

There are a few things to note...

1. Rural life requires that you be creative and assertive to survive, no one will entertain you. For example, if you want to attend a meetup every week on React... you better start one. Want to have your choice of farmers markets... you should just plant a garden. That isn't to say we don't have farmers markets, concerts, festivals or things like that but there are fewer of them and they aren't as grand as they are in other places. In general, we have "everything" but we don't have all the choices.

2. Building a community can be difficult unless you are intentional. I am active in my church which makes a big difference and is where I find most of my friends (my family is still in Boston). If I didn't have that, I don't know where I would find friends. This is especially hard if you are single. Often times, the people are very friendly. Don't expect to jump straight into a group and be best friends, things move slower, and take time. HOWEVER, once you earn trust you are "in" and the people care deeply about you. I can't even explain it. I can list at least 5 people right now that, if I called, would drop anything and come help with something. Anything from help with car troubles (it's cold and snowy in the winter) to more sensitive and private parts of life which take years to develop. Relationship, I am firmly convinced, is life.

3. If you actually move out into the country prepare to get dirty. We mow for 3 hours a week at least. At least 2-3 large trees fall on our property every year that need chopping / hauling / splitting / burning. Gravel roads can be tough on vehicles. There is snow to move and spring cleaning / fall prep. It's work, but very fulfilling work if you are used to being behind a computer all day.

4. Finding another remote programming job is hard unless you are in the top 1% of performers in which case they probably want you on site anyway. The competition for remote work is FIERCE, I was lucky to land the job I did and am so thankful for it. Save some money just in case because you never know what could happen.

5. Don't expect to "change" things over night, everything is slower. People are open to listening to new perspectives but don't expect them to adopt them right away or ever.

AMA.

It could use some documentation and some community TLC, but Level 12 is a solid Python shop with a pragmatic approach to app development. There are libraries for auth, login, webgrids, SQLAlchemy, forms, etc etc.

Disclaimer: I used to work for Level 12 and wrote a large production app atop keg.

I work on Python apps all day and am constantly running she'll commands, interacting with git, starting / stopping services. Along with tmux, I can switch projects incredibly fast without having to wait for an IDE to load.

If you don't interact with text most of the day, I am not sure Vim is worth the curve.

While, I could write tmux scripts for everything the yaml format does just about everything I need.

I treat a session as a project, for example mux dotfiles will open a tmux session, cd into the correct directory, and setup and panes I want when working with my config, just one. On a customer project I often have one window for vim, then another window for the server to run, psql, and any additional services I need.

I have also found, prefix-s to be very helpful to switch between projects very quickly.

Bitbucket and GitHub are reliable enough for how often we deploy that we aren't all that worried about downtime from those services. We could also pull from a dev's machine should the situation be that dire.

We have looked into Docker but that tool has a lot more growing before "I" would feel comfortable putting it into production. I would rather ship a packaged VM than Docker at this point, there are to many gotchas that we don't have time to figure out.

Since I don't have experience with them I am looking for some level of assurance that they are a legitimate service. In my opinion it is difficult to gain that assurance just from their website.

I am helping a non-profit that has a very low budget and I want to be helpful without causing long-term ramifications (of which I am currently ignorant of). Thanks for any help, this stuff is confusing and I am new to it!
