Exactly, hence why it’s very difficult to run a truly “private” DNS. Your best bet would be to run your own resolver on a VPS or something

I was born unable to comprehend what career I wanted, pretended I wanted to be an astronaut then stopped.

See how fucking stupid this is as an argument?

You still have to perform lookups by reaching out to the root resolvers.

Plus people knew the increase was coming so I imagine there was a spike in sales just before hand.

We have faster charging speeds with lithium today, 800v cars that can charge at 300KW+ have been on the market for half a decade, BYD has launched cars that can charge at 2-3x that speed. The charging infrastructure is the bottleneck there, even if all new cars could charge at those speeds it wouldn’t mean much because hardly any chargers can support it.

Besides it’s almost moot, most EV owners aren’t charging via fast chargers like you would fill up an ICE car, they’re charging at home at much cheaper rates and only using fast chargers for particularly long trips.

Sodium batteries are real though. You can buy them today, their big promise was that they would be cheaper than lithium batteries because sodium is abundant and readily available whereas lithium is a rare mineral. Then lithium prices fell through the floor and the value proposition failed, at least for now. They’re also not as energy dense, which is probably what will hold then back from EV use for a while yet, but the claim around being safer holds up.

Jesus fuck. I was born and raised in Belfast, there’s absolutely nothing about the experience today (out in 2019) that even remotely resembles the 70’s.

You’ve done the hard work building the compose file. Push that file to a private GitHub repository, set up renovate bot and it’ll create PR’s to update those containers on whatever cadence and rules you want (such as auto updating bug fixes from certain registries).

Then you just need to set up SSH access to your VM running the containers and a simple GitHub action to push the updated compose file and run docker compose up. That’s what I do and it means updates are just a case of merging in a PR when it suits me.

Also I would suggest ditching the VM and just running the docker commands directly on the TrueNAS host - far less overheads, one less OS to maintain and makes shares resources (like a GPU) easier to manage.

You should look at restic or Kopia for backups, they are super efficient and encrypted. All my docker data is backed up hourly and thanks to the way out handles snapshots, I have backups going back literally years that don’t actually take up much space.

Congratulations! I’d suggest the next step is to start building up your savings and investments. A nice goal to aim for is to have enough saved up to pay off the mortgage (not necessarily to pay off the mortgage but having enough saved up that you could is very rewarding).

I’m in the UK but I’m less than 2 weeks my own solar and battery array is getting installed, can’t wait!

Indeed, in the UK (a notoriously windy place) wind currently far outpaces solar in terms of energy production and although it’s also variable, it works well in winter and at night.

During summer solar really shines (no pun intended), but wind absolutely rocks.

I am not convinced she was dumped. She’s walking directly into some cushy “private sector” role. She did the job that trump asked her to do and that’s her reward.

She’s the fall guy for sure but that was entirely by design and I’m sure she’s well aware of that. But who cares if everyone hates you when you got your golden ticket.

Makes sense on today of all days.

I’m not entirely sure what the “maintenance burden” even is on a tech that hasn’t changed in decades.

And batteries. Arguably batteries would have the biggest impact out of all of those; turn every household into a virtual power plant and the grid can self balance, especially during peak usage.

The government is also dragging its feet on V2G which would allow your EV to act as an additional giant battery that can feed the grid and your home when usage is high, then top it back up overnight.

There’s been a big storm in the UK, so wind is generating fuckloads of energy right now, to the point where energy providers are having to pay people to use electric - all that cheap power could be filling up batteries instead.

I gave up after 3 seasons of disco.

Only because of current RAM prices and artificial scarcity keeping those prices high.

300GB of RAM shouldn’t be that expensive. I have 1/3 of that in my server (bought years ago). If it wasn’t for the AI bullshit, 300GB would be fairly reasonable to buy in a couple of years time.

Oh but I actually agree with you!

Honestly it’s a lot of calendar management and Trello boards. But we get to share on the cost of subscriptions, which is nice.

I find the ones that are super open to the point where it’s kind of their whole personality tend to be the drama-llamas. There are plenty of polyciles out there in plain sight quite happy because they don’t go around broadcasting it.
