Hoping to be constructive: how do you think search engines should operate? Or maybe how would you like one you consider "good" to operate?

Also wondering how you see something like Privacy Pass that Kagi announced recently: https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass

This is particularly useful in the context of a privacy-respecting paid search engine, where the Server wants to ensure that the Client can access the services, and the Client seeks strong guarantees that, for example, the searches are not associated with them.

 

I've started using iscsi volumes for kubernetes storage, and it seems to be working fine. I have volumes automatically created under Data/k8s/scsi/v for each PV.

As a backup strategy I have periodic snapshots of every volume set up and I am also replicating the entire k8s dataset to a different pool.

I've done this kind of thing for other "normal" filesystem datasets and restoring from snapshots or replications usually just entails copying files. However I'm new to iscsi and "volume" datasets, so if something went wrong with one of my iscsi volume datasets, and I have snapshots and/or replicated them, how do I go about restoring them?

I'm not sure if I'm even asking the right question :) Is the "right" thing to do here to do application-level backups, ie. run sidecars for my k8s workloads that back up the files inside the volumes rather than rely on backups at the TrueNAS level?

Picture of the setup for reference:

Oh, I've been tempted. It does seem like a little bit more than I want to take on right now, and I am really interested in multi material.

I ended up canceling my order and in the form let them know the reason. They refunded me my money and didn't respond.

Now I'm trying to figure out what two actually get to replace my ender 3, currently trying to do research on the K1C and the Sovol SV08. I'm fine with tinkering, but I really want multiple color support

I have an order for a P1S that hasn't shipped yet but am now considering cancelling it and buying a Creality K1C. Anyone have thoughts on that as an alternative? It seems their multi material thing is coming out soon

I can't wait for this. I've gone down a few rabbit holes looking into solar and battery storage, and even just battery storage by itself to replace the generator we have for when power is out and/or to offset peak use time rates. But batteries are really expensive and I've already got a hundred kilowatt hours sitting in my garage.

Would love to have seen OpenPilot form Comma on this list to how it compared.

 

I just installed the Kia Uvo integration via HACS but am concerned with settings causing 12v battery drain on the car. Anyone else have this set up and willing to share their experience with it?

I could never get hardware accelerated video working with Firefox on my Linux laptop, and Google Meet (used for work) doesn't work well ( but I guess I blame Google for that).

It looks like they've changed the way they do it a bit they now have these (this is light to med, there's another one for med-dark roast): https://happymugcoffee.com/products/roasters-choice-a

I have been buying from HappyMug for years, I do a subscription thing with them that gets me one bag of one of their blends that I picked and then one bag of single origin coffee every month. I'm very happy with it.

I don't know about natively, but I've played both FFXIV and EVE Online in Linux in the past, and they ran well, but it's been a little bit.

Yeah, I like overwatch, have gotten my money's worth from it and the steam integration makes it so much easier to run on Linux, so I'm happy with it.

I would love a suggestion for a ups that could tolerate running off my generator when the power is out for extended periods, anyone have a decently priced recommendation?

 

Developers are operating and building in more and more heterogeneous and complex systems. This article offers some thoughts on how to think about "developer experience" in this world that's increasingly more like a "rainforest" than a "well tended garden".

 

I'd love to hear some stories about how you or your organization is using Kubernetes for development! My team is experimenting with using it because our "platform" is getting into the territory of too large to run or manage on a single developer machine. We've previously used Docker Compose to enable starting things up locally, but that started getting complicated.

The approach we're trying now is to have a Helm chart to deploy the entire platform to a k8s namespace unique to each developer and then using Telepresence to connect a developer's laptop to the cluster and allow them to run specific services they're working on locally.

This seems to be working well, but now I'm finding myself concerned with resource utilization in the cluster as devs don't remember to uninstall or scale down their workloads when they're not active any more, leading to inflation of the cluster size.

Would love to hear some stories from others!
