Alan Dean Foster has a series (Humanx Commonwealth) starting with Midworld. No special machines in the first 4.

Cachelot is excellent and is about sentient space cetaceans after forming a treaty with humans.

Midworld is basically Avatar.

Nor Crystal Tears is about the Thranx side of meeting Aliens (humankind) in first contact.

Sentenced to Prism is about the concepts of non-carbon life forms.

Must books cover elements of humanity and what is humanity.

I use tdarr to recode to h264 for compatibility. But most apps or devices have the codecs.

It should only be a real issue if you use surveillance station or Synology photos.

Nothing stopping you installing frigate.

Pretty neat. I think its a really nice looking app and helps navigating the database much nicer. I think what is missing for me is some of the power of applications like dbeaver where you can run queries as you go and easily hop between databases.

Also mouse wheel scrolls page not zoom which I think would be better. Definitely will use this next time I build a db in parallel with dbeaver.

I’ll be installing this tonight to give it a go beside dbeaver

I also suggested this. Friendly on lots of operating systems too.

I use dbeaver on ubuntu and windows.

Weird because gliffy (or whatever it’s called) exists on confluence

I used to use traefik back when it was new and less complex and the 2.0 complexity forced my hand to drop it for my homelab.

Duckduckgo or SearX

The impetus to pay once is supporting great Foss software. I personally think a donation model works for me but I don’t research human behaviour or marketing either.

How is it “fake Foss” when you can just download and run the code without paywalled features and not spending anything.

Blah Blah

No need to update unless they’re is a feature or security patch.

Updating to latest could result in not knowing your version in case of recovery or have an exploit pushed.

Namesilo, cheap and never had issues

Can be ott yeah. I set mine up to understand how it all works and just kept things going.

No love for kubernetes?

What are you even claiming? Billing is the same ease VM or container.

Cgroups became a thing in 2004 and then Google and Amazon started container offerings in 2008.

And you don’t even need docker there are plenty of alternative engines.

I’d like to point out this is a hot take.

Enterprise infrastructure has been moving to containers for years because of scale and redundancy. Spinning up new VMs for every app failover is bloat and wasteful if it is able to be put in a container.

To really use them well, like everything in IT, understanding the underlying tech can be essential.
