I use Traefik because it solved a problem with the static configuration approach which Nginx had / still has.

In a scenario with multiple services behind Nginx, taking one down or replacing an instance is massive headache. I tried to script around it, but basically the Nginx container would choke on the fact that a service does not [yet / anymore] exist, and together with the docker networking stack it turned out to be an insurmountable problem.

Traefik otoh discovers services based on (in my case) labels on the docker containers running locally. And then updates the configuration on the fly.

Basically the static approach to configuration resulted in massive headache when I needed to enable zero downtime deployments and updates behind Nginx. And Traefik handled it perfectly without dropping a single request.

Nowadays I manage my dynamic configuration with ansible and update the values in for the file-based configuration provider with a playbook. I don’t need a UI to manage my inventory, I use ansible for that. Traefik handles the rest perfectly.

Traefik does auto discovery and you can register different configuration providers. Don’t need docker? Then don’t use the docker label-based provider. It is really flexible and has sensible defaults. Other than a few quirks in the basic auth support I haven’t had any problems. And at work it powers our globally utilized infrastructure without any hiccups.

Ich glaube, dass das im besten Fall sehr unwahrscheinlich ist, ich würde es als komplett unrealistisch bezeichnen. Dass Fliegen irgendwann nicht mehr erwünscht oder begehrt wird.

Die Zeit ist immer ein Faktor, und wenn Urlaubstage begrenzt sind, will man möglichst schnell ans Ziel kommen. Dasselbe gilt für die Arbeit, wenn ich für einen Meeting vor Ort sein muss, und quer durch Europa (oder weiter weg) reisen, gibt es keine Alternativen.

Ich kann der Wunsch vollkommen nachvollziehen, und ich begrüße jede Maßnahme für Reduktion unnötiger Flüge. Sprich - die klassischen Berater- innendeutsche Flüge, Massentourismus usw. Aber in eine globalisierte Welt wird es fliegen geben müssen. Viele Leute wohnen weit weg von der Familie. Mit unsere kleine Tochter können wir zb nicht einfach so 12+ Stunden am Stück reisen, um meine Eltern zu besuchen. Nur so als einen Beispiel.

I’m also using ansible everywhere in my home / private infra and lab. Occasionally I get slightly annoyed that I have to open an inventory file or a role var to find something. But in general I’m so grateful that there is one place to find this information, and the same is used to set up everything from scratch.

Is it extra work to write the roles and playbooks? Yes. Does it solve the documentation and automation problem completely? Absolutely. 10/10 would recommend. And for the record, most things I host run on containers, but the volumes and permission management alone make it worth your time.

Too late for that

Storage is not easy when you don’t have massive amounts of free land. This is an ongoing debate in Europe, and in one particular country a leaky storage was discovered just a month or two ago. Again.

And there is no guarantee that what we build today is not going to be a massive liability in 50 or 200 or hell, 500 years. But the companies and people who are responsible will not even exist at this point.

What about the storage for the used fuel? This is a massive problem for any country not occupying half a continent.

Man könne auch eine gewisse Zeit crossposten, und darauf hinweisen. Ich fände es super, ein paar communities auf den Server mit content zu versorgen. Diese dann zu folgen = mehr Traffik auf die neue Communities.

Das ist aber für den Arbeitgeber nicht egal, und es hat Einfluss auf das Gehalt, der sich die Firma überhaupt leisten kann.

It is one of the easier ways to globally configure git auth for private Go packages.

I was considering grabbing a last minute legacy license, but I really don’t have a use case for unraid. I need a NAS for storage and a few VMs. And my apps run on generic SBCs or NUCs which I manage through ssh/ansible. So yeah, TrueNAS it is for me as well.

And there is absolutely no way, that I could find, to create or pin a shortcut to eg WinTerm, which would launch it as admin.

You are not far off. In my previous project we attempted to rewrite a desktop app and we started with a skeleton crew. Hiring for the frontend was tough, we got one very good xaml (wpf / winui etc) dev in the first year. Then, in the middle of the corona lockdowns, for 12 months we kept only getting mediocre candidates from across the world, with no relevant experience whatsoever. Then we found our second full time frontend dev, who only stayed 3 months and once he saw how clueless management is, bolted.

Funnily enough the aforementioned manager experts started asking what’s wrong and why we ‘fail to fill the positions’. We were stuck in the native desktop world product-wise, an unattractive and challenging tech stack with difficult problems to solve, with poor management and low budget. That’s what was up. Now I’m happily working on the backend / web / cloud side of things and I’m definitely not looking back or picking up another tech lead position for a project with non existent team to start with. /o\

What are the advantages of using the plugin (Remotely Save) over just using dumb sync with Syncthing? Conflicts I assume?

You know, I don’t get offended or anything. But it’s impossible to mute / block streamers, and there are some particularly annoying offenders which I just don’t want to see when I open twitch. Just give me the option to filter that out and I won’t complain again.

It’s a low quality meme from Pooh and his ideological friends. Vote down and dismiss the laughable claims imo.

Hey you absolute idiot. This is history, not a narrative. Get the f out.

Ich glaube dass du deine Ansichten bzgl Pressefreiheit und Demokratie dringend überdenken sollst. Und vielleicht mal Geschichte wiederholen.

Interesting, I’ll take a look before Google shuts down yet another app I use. Does it support sharing and syncing over something other than nextcloud?

I tried with a 30 sec longer brewing time, I think that it’s better but without a blind test who knows :D Cool app, I’ll try out some of the variations which look simpler. The coffees I can get locally are a bit poorly described. This makes it a bit hard to figure out if it’s a lighter or darker roast. What I mean by that is that many smaller specialty shops and roasteries would simply describe “filter” / “espresso” and “less intense” with a point scala. Only once I encountered an agtron value. Uff.
