Galaxy Tab S11, in DeX Mode, with the Book Cover Keyboard Slim, running Termux and Tailscale is a great companion device to ssh to any system on my tailnet so I can do real work on the road. So good. I donate monthly to Termux, you should too. :)

I love this blog post so much. <3

Stop solving problems you don't have. You have no users, you don't need to support a million of them. You make no money, you don't need to burn through all your cloud credits so fast. Just chill, start with a couple Linodes, Droplets, or Lightsail instances and see how far you can get with a simple app, api, load balancer, and a database. You'd be shocked how far that stretches when you're talking about servicing real paying customers.

ramalama can just pull (almost) any arbitrary model off huggingface and run it ... you're not limited to just what ollama has repackaged into their non-standard format

Re:ChromeOS is Linux with Google’s desktop environment on Thursday October 05, 2023 @03:49PM (#37783405)
Google put in a ton of work to make all the Linux and Android sandboxing while still being able to do file sharing into the sandboxes, Wayland GUI app bridging, usb pass-through, and a bunch of other stuff.

ChromeOS got good and is wildly underrated for software development. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love ARA so much, I don't think it's usefulness and value can be properly expressed in words (or at least I seem to be failing to do so). Anyone using Ansible should really check ARA out! <3 ARA

I heard at AnsibleFest is that it's undergoing legal review and export compliance, no official timeline yet though.

Re:What I found wrong in Docker 1.12 on Friday August 26, 2016 @04:12PM (#12368986)
I've been using docker since version 0.6 and followed almost every version upgrade since and it's an absolute mess. This blog post is spot on.

My old team had a production environment running in docker containers for about a year (this was pre-swarm, pre-kubernetes) and then transitioned to just using ansible for application deployment in a more "traditional" manner because we spent more time trying to fix broken things with docker than it was worth.

I hadn't gone down that far into the rabbit hole yet but I'm absolutely open to adding new content around using docker for rpm building. Thanks for the feedback!

Re:Poll: Do you work at a startup? on Friday April 25, 2014 @07:45PM (#7649791)
I work for Red Hat (http://www.redhat.com/), not remotely identified as a startup these days but I couldn't be happier with my job, work environment, and corporate culture.
