Thanks!

Its all bambi legs at the moment.. I wonder if we'll ever get past this stage. Moving it all to a 'real' product is an option before it gets too serious. I'll bring this up with the group and lets see what happens.

How did I not know about this until now!

We've spent over a year creating a delivery platform based on ArgoCD that bundles a git server and a registry (for air-gapped clients) so that we can deliver our products into various customer environments. This pretty much does it all, but with bells and whistles on top! Nice!

Curious why the pricing page doesn't seem to allow Euros and yet its an option?

Yes, of course.. I'm actually in the process of replacing nodes. The original 3x Ryzen5 4-core 32Gb hosts are being replaced by Ryzen9 12-core 96Gb hosts.. its just taking a bit of time. As long as I only ever take one down for updates at a time, its no bother for a home-lab environment.
I've used this[1] Terraform provider together with the Talos[2] distribution for deploying a Kubernetes cluster. I agree that the APIs available with Proxmox are not fully featured, but it more than suits my needs.

I'm running a four node cluster on salvaged SFF machines backing up lvm snapshots to home brewed TruNAS storage and it all makes me happy.

I once (March 2014) emailed hashicorp to retrieve a lost vagrant licence key. I got a direct reply from you Mitchell with instructions on what to do. Blew my tiny mind, those were rare bygone days in our industry.

Thank you for all you've created.

BigClive tries it so we don't have to[1]. The taste test starts at 2:35, but, as ever, the whole thing is worth watching.

Hey klankbrouwerij..

Just chiming in as my son too has an 18q deletion, albeit further towards the distal arm. Just to bring to your attention, if you were not already aware, of https://www.chromosome18eur.org and its parent organisation https://www.chromosome18.org.

Some great resources and there'll be folks who have experienced similar issues to you and yours.

Re:Ask HN: How to raise funds for rare disease research? on Tuesday February 08, 2022 @03:02AM (#30255962)
From the very little experience I have of rare chromosomal disorders and attending a number of conferences dedicated to my sons specific condition, what i do see is people passionate to understand and improve things for their kids and for others primarily through research into conditions and from the dissemination of information. It is obvious that you are determined to do what it takes.

Please do try and make contact with Dr. Jannine Cody[1] who when faced with a not too dissimilar position to yours pretty much single handedly set about doing what she had to in order to understand and improve her daughters condition and in the process has created a worldwide network of families that meet at conferences and fund research.

Good luck, know that you do not stand alone. It might seem like you do, but you'll be surprised.

Like wireguard, Nebula is using the Noise Protocol Framework[1], but it seems that Nebula is using a ca-cert authority to tie together the peers in the same Nebula network[2]

How strange.. I was just reading a paper about the same sort of thing: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30890547

Well, that (IP address and specific ID) probably constitutes information from which the identity of a natural living person can be discerned and therefore does fall under the protections of GDPR.

However, that by itself doesn't mean you can't collect it, just that you need to have specifically asked for their informed consent and not hidden this purpose away in a changelog.

ah.. of course, yes.

I was just responding to the specific language in the parent post that seemed to convey that the author of the article knew about the disability and 'decided' to have the child regardless of this 'fact'.

Of course, there are some wonderful wonderful people in this world who find themselves being adopted by equals.

The child in this article is 15, so in 2003 did we have the sophisticated tests available that are as easily applied?

Additionally, whilst testing has become better, it won't catch everything unless we look for it specifically. There are mosaic mutations that are incredibly difficult to spot and many other chromosome conditions that we are only now able to define because of our more capable tests (http://www.rarechromo.org/disorder-guides).

Finally, no one 'decides' to have a disabled child. I don't know what you actually meant to convey by your comment. Perhaps a judgement on the impossible decisions parents of children with disabilities wrestle with, perhaps a dismissal of all people with disabilities because testing means they shouldn't exist.. I can't quite understand it.

Whilst at first glance this doesn't look altogether fair, I can understand why its been done.

The government should not be able to use the tools of state to suppress legitimate parliamentary opposition. There would be nothing to stop the party in power using the law to specifically target opposing parties.

For the rest of us here in the UK, your traffic is already being collated and probably has been for some time.

Re:What Is Knot Theory? Why Is It in Mathematics? [pdf] on Tuesday August 09, 2016 @06:30PM (#12258166)
hey, I was just reading about Christopher Zeeman [1] who was quite the topologist. He founded the Maths Faculty at the University of Warwick [2].

Maths is a truly astonishing discipline begging the question, are we all just made of maths?

Zeeman was very quotable: "Technical skill is mastery of complexity while creativity is mastery of simplicity."
