The fact that Kopia has a UI is awesome for non-technical users.

I migrated off restic due to memory usage, to Kopia. I am currently debating switching back to restic purely because of how retention works.

I’ve had an eye check, a few months back a general medical. Both were fine/no significant changes. I rarely drink, no drugs. I feared a series of migraines might been response but I’ve been assured otherwise.

I so far figured it’s too much skim reading, a lot of very poor sleep, being on the edge of burn out and maybe a touch of post COVID brain fog.

Your post is encouraging me to start doing something about it.

I don’t have much to add but it’s reassuring to know that I’m not alone

Also for ref :)

Highly recommend both libraries!

You are competing with https://grafana.com/, https://www.metabase.com/, https://superset.apache.org/, etc.

At work I ran email servers professionally and with good deliverability for years. My own email server was arguably longer lived than those at work, just much lower volumes. IP block was clean, DKIM, SPF, rDNS, etc. all setup correctly.

I thought I had no deliverability issues. I interacted with mailing lists regularly, the odd email to friends and family and I was firmly in your camp until I had to deal with a death in the family.

I think this was shortly after Microsoft BPOS became Office365. It became very very clear very very rapidly that to certain orgs I just wasn't hitting the inbox. And there was jack shit I could do about it. That was the end of my mail server, and it's certainly got worse over time.

In development mode with inotify you get python hot code reloading. In development mode the XML (with a handful of exceptions regarding menus, and ir.actions) will be read from disk on refresh.

At work we use Dockerized Odoo based on a [Doodba](https://github.com/Tecnativa/doodba). We use [click-odoo](https://github.com/acsone/click-odoo) to manage module upgrades (amongst other things). Dev workflow is largely managed through [invoke](https://www.pyinvoke.org/) tasks.

I do wish there was hot code reloading for the views (xml), but realistically if you’re making an app of any complexity the views in the backend are the small part and likely not where you are spending the majority of your time.

Website stuff is absolutely 100% stuck in the past at the moment, imho.

In 2005 the Royal Mail was fully privatised. Since then I personally feel the amount of unaddressed mail has increased. But that might be in my head

They were deprecated in 1803.

Our path has been Ansible -> Ansible+Docker -> Docker Swarm -> k8s. We absolutely don't need k8s, but the other options all had downsides.

1. Nomad was on our list and probably would've been better, but there were no managed Nomad solutions at the time and it was not as widely used as other solutions

2. Our time on Swarm was /ok/, but it was more and more obvious that being on the lesser walked path was a problem, and it's future made us run away from it

3. k8s gave us a nice declarative deployment mechanism

4. We can switch to a managed solution down the road with less friction

The two typical scenarios are;

1. You want to use the same IP space multiple times across different networks (i.e. multi-tenant)

2. You have a bunch of different networks that you really never want to ever be able to talk to each other (you can allow it through routes, etc. but by default this does not happen). Although you can achieve this with VLANs and ACLs, on a single routing table, rules can become a real pain in the ass to manage very quickly

You could use this for stuff like guest or IoT networks.

Which display, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve had a similar idea for a while, but haven’t seen a display that felt reasonably sized or priced for a hobby project

CoC basically takes VSCode addons and modifies them just enough to get them working in conjunction with neovim.

I'm not saying that it's a bad laptop. But there are just so many little annoying things about it after coming from the MBP and MacOS;

* Trackpad is subjectively worse, but I can't tell you why beyond its just smaller - but I am objectively much less accurate with it and trigger tap-clicks when I don't mean to. The trackpad positioning is also slightly uncomfortable to use.

* Fan noise - the fan curve has it ramping up earlier than a MBP

* Windows was hosed out of the box (fine, fixable, but it wasn't a good start)

* The "soft" covering results in so many fingerprints

* Webcam on the bottom bezel is an awful angle

Pros;

* Great screen, touch is a nice add-on but found I rarely use it now

* Keyboard isn't terrible

* Power adapter isn't a brick

Would I do it again. Honestly, not sure. My daily driver isn't the laptop and I just deal. If I had to use the laptop daily, I'd probably reconsider.

I do a fair amount of work with companies that do "EDI" over CSV (or worse CSV-like - think 2 CSVs jammed together with different formats, no headers, no support for escaping or quoting) and fixed width documents. I can absolutely assure you that humans do open these files in notepad far more often than I'd like.

Often one of the main reasons they don't use things like X12, ASCII separators, etc. is because a "human needs to open it at some point" was a prevailing business decision some number of years ago (think "what happens if the IT system fails? how can we still ship stuff even in a complete emergency") and now it's baked into their documented process so deeply its like shouting into the wind to alter things. Third party warehouses are the worst at this.

* Removing an errant font-config lcdfilter configuration entry (this was a left over from when I was running "infinality" and should have been removed)

* Switching font from Noto Sans to Ubuntu

Its not perfect, but its a lot better. I'll probably play with oversampling (rendering X at a higher resolution and scaling down like OSX) at some point to see if I get the quality I want.
