Without going into video media, I’ve got around 2-3TB of photos (in RAW format) and my ripped/downloaded music collection is about the same size. Probably got about 5TB of device backups and a similar amount of retro games ROMs/disk images

I think between my desktop PC and server I’ve got about 70-80TB of storage (though not all of it is usable for redundancy)

I could see myself building a new NAS in a couple of years that would make use of a few of those drives if the economics work out

Not a stretch to assume Musk has known all about this and has been taking full advantage for a while

I didn’t realise it still wasn’t actually out, I wonder what they’re waiting for

Thanks for this, I was half going to respond with a glib “skill issue” in response to the article

I worked with Scheme on a project about a decade ago now, and the only code in the project that wasn’t particularly readable was the code written by someone who didn’t attempt to learn conventions and appropriate tooling before contributing.

Oh that’s made my week and we’re only about 2 hours in to it, will update my server test that out in the morning

FWIW Claude seems to be involved in 9 commits

The maintainer alone has made nearly 900 and there are about 100 other contributors

This isn’t a vibe coded project, it’s been running for 2-3 years

Nice, I’ve been using this for a year or two now and it’s become my main ereader server after a lot of time trying to land on one.

Will need to check if there’s finally a way to sync read progress between different versions of the same library item (i.e. PDF & epub). One of my use cases is for storing magazines and being able to read the epub on my phone, but the full PDF on my tablet and have the progress sync properly is a personal holy grail

I’ve also noticed the HN community has been on an accelerating train of lower quality discussion since some time before COVID.

Some of the community has always had a bit of a silicon valley libertarian brain rot, but it used to be balanced out by the open source crowd and just normal professional engineers across the world. The latter demographics have mostly evaporated leaving some of the most braindead takes completely unchallenged, until they’ve become the only noise in the room.

It’s a bit of a shame really, because it used to be a pretty good resource for keeping on top of the comings and goings of the software engineering industry. Combined with Reddit shitting the bed just after COVID, I’ve yet to actually find a decent replacement for what I got out of browsing it, really. Here does a fairly decent job, but as with many subjects, the breadth of content and opinions isn’t quite the same.

Perhaps I need to give Mastodon another go despite not really enjoying microblog social media as a format in general (any recs for follows are greatly appreciated)

Depends what you’re trying to do, really

If you’re talking about going in and restarting containers and checking logs, there are tools like Portainer that give a nice UI you can quickly use from your phone

If you’re talking about repetitive tasks, sometimes there’s a tool to automate it already (e.g. updates via watchtower, unattended-upgrades), and if not, you can write a script and possibly run it via a cronjob if that makes sense

If you’re talking about doing new stuff, you either stick with the SSH & shell commands, or you look into IaC tools like ansible as another reply mentioned. Another option is something like Nix where the setup is defined in config, so you make your changes there

Big number on purple site

And then all the standard shady alt-right bollocks around elevating fuckos that say racist shit. Bannon probably pays his bills

I’ve yet to see any “protect the kids” legislation that isn’t either thinly veiled surveillance overreach or corporate collusion

I see c&c

I upvote

I’ve not played Tiberian Sun in quite some time
