Use containers for unifi by jdheyburn · Pull Request #119 · jdheyburn/nixos-configs · GitHub Dee is a raspberry pi, so build times were too long for my sanity (and would often break). Switching to a container so that I can keep my sanity. Mongodb is pinned to 4.4 since 5.0+ isn't suppo...

Finally got UniFi controller migrated to a container on my #nixos Raspberry Pi, it had been impossible to build on arm. So much so I disabled it just so that I could get other updates out. PR below with the change.

I've not used it at all, I'm looking for excuses to use it - can it generate TF JSON?

How would you use CUE and TF JSON mimic Pulumi, et al.?

Had you come from the DD agent beforehand, given that supports OTLP too. Or did you jump straight into DDOT?

@dragonflydbio.bsky.social do you have a RSS feed for your blog?

What benefit have you seen with DDOT over building your own collector? What topology are you running the DDOT as (Agent, gateway, etc)?

I feel compelled to write a review thread 🧵 for The Liz Truss Show because in the madness of the content, other aspects - vital aspects - are being missed.

1. The Aesthetics

Unless they were aiming for "Harley Street urologist waiting room circa 1992" this interview area is just unacceptable. 1/

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:

One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Wow... Todoist Pro subscription increasing from $4 to $7 a month.

There's a legacy Pro plan which I think I'm staying on, without any new features.

Probably time to move on...

The difference is that AWS needed to fork Redis to continue to provide the service and generate revenue from it.

I agree they should open source the servers though, it's not fair to the players. They should also open source killed AWS services, but there's a less likely chance of that.

Oh I see now, I'm accustomed to Helm-style hashing and not creating a new CM on every change. Agree that's not a good practice.

Wouldn't it be possible to still use Helm-style hashing in a non-Helm deployment too? I can imagine operators doing this.

In my setup no new CMs are created, the existing one is overwritten which creates a new hash then rolls pods. I don't believe there is cruft in this case as it's only ever the same CM being updated.

I'm trying to understand the cons you've mentioned.

> No cleanup mechanism to get rid of them when the old pods go away.

In which context is "them" here?

What am I missing about configmap hashing? It gets the job done and doesn't necessarily seem like a "hack"?

Great to meet you there, looking forward to recapping on the videos!

Scotland scraps peak rail fares - will the rest of the UK follow? Working patterns have changed since Covid so could peak train pricing be phased out altogether?

I'm pretty sure a contactless card that was tapped-in at 09:29 is charged as a peak time journey. Even if the train departs the station at 09:32, making it off-peak.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

I've not been keeping up to date writing monthly summaries in my #journal. But this afternoon I've had Claude read my weekly and daily notes and writing the summaries for me!

And with the examples I've already written, it's gotten pretty good on how I like them formatted too.

Still need a repress on the one from a few months back

Do you know if Kanister supports copying the backup files (i.e. Redis RDB file) to a secondary region - and also restoring from that backup in said region?

I have tried to do this with Velero today but it doesn't seem supported.
