I have a wordlist I just chose a random name from. The words contained in the list are supposed to be short & unique.

You can fire people in Europe too. In a lot of cases you have a six month trial period in which the employer or the employee can cancel the employment without any notice period. After six months there is a notice period from both parts, typically one to three months.

I've used it at home for several years as well, works great. Due to reasons I've used another level to separate services, management, clients and iot (iot.home.arpa, services.home.arpa...) which I kinda regret today.

Had you read the article you’d known that he is dead, and that his system was sold of for close to nothing.

Can’t tell if all of this is satire, both the webring and the comments here.

I think it's only the change and nothing else.

SSAB has located it’s H2 plants near several large hydroelectric power plants, so in Sweden’s case we have to build nuclear power plants further south to provide power to the bulk of the population.

My setup is on a cheap thin client, buying a pic is too expensive :)

I mainly use pihole for ease of setting up and its user interface. I’m using knot-resolver for upstream queries and knot for local zones.

I’ve started to read up on dnstap to see if I can emulate some of the pihole statistics but pihole is still good enough.

The Mac randomization can easily be disabled per Wi-Fi, so it’s only disabled at home.

Not sure it can be done on android.

> In fact, the entire value chain from raw mineral to finished product, be it solar panels, wind turbine, or the latest iPhone, is totally dependent on fossil fuels: coal for making steel, petrol for the all the rest: mining, refining, transporting, installing.

Well, LKAB has partnered with some other local industrial giants to make the steel making process fossil free, called project HYBRIT. It will just take some 20 years. :)

I think this deposit is under Mt Luossavaara, which is close to the main iron ore body currently being mined. The old city core is currently being moved and/or torn down anyways, so it shouldn't affect much...

...other than the houses already transferred to the slopes of Luossavaara, I guess. :)

Why did _you_ bring it up in the first place, then?

ledger has a time tracking mode which is pretty neat. I've used it for a while and liked it, https://www.ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Time-Keeping

Otherwise Emacs and org-mode is handy as well, if you are an Emacs user.

I live in the sub-arctics, I have some experience clearing snow. :)

One common way to clear snow here is a snow blower, typically gas powered and on wheels. That won't help with ice build-up (making the ground uneven and slippery). On public roads graders are regulary used to even out the ice-buildup, otherwise car traffic would create really deep tire tracks, requiring everyone to drive pickup trucks.

I just use a broad, two-handed snow shovel, pushing it over the snow rather that carrying it. Since we typically have snow coverage November-April (sometimes longer, into June and the midnight sun) we have to arrange with someone to pickup the snow regulary. The muncipality takes care of a lot of this.

One good thing with long winters are the all the free exercise you get from dealing with snow. :)

We use it at work, our industrial area is quite large (kilometers) and unpractical to use 2/3/4/5g or cables. Sensors are all sorts and goes into mqtt and later into our timeseries database, with 10+ years of history.

Ah, understandable. I remember being slightly confused when starting to use jails again, after being used to the near magical setup of Docker/etc on Linux. Like manually setting up bridges and VLANs to make it work like I wanted? WTH.

Now I dislike using Docker for similar tasks, as I find it to be more work than just doing the same setup with VNET, bridges and VLANs. I'm a fossil and I want to run different services on different VLANs, which in Docker lingo is considered "legacy application setup" (looking at the macvlan documentation).

To be fair, dma has been in the base system for a long time.

Now (well sometime in the future) I can remove half of my Ansible role for setting up dma on my systems, just skipping disabling sendmail.

I learned about dma here, a great blog btw! https://jpmens.net/2020/03/05/simple-solution-for-outgoing-m...

> Virtual network for a bunch of jails with nat. I wanted exposed ports on the host machine mapped to a reverse proxy jail that did tls termination before forwarding to other jails on a virtual network (while allowing the jails on the virtual net outgoing internet access).

Jails are old, and there's a wealth of outdated documentation around which makes it confusing when trying to understand how things works.

In case someone else is reading this, it's not different from what Docker does automatically for you.

I typically use vnet (which gives the jail an entire virtualized network stack, something like macvlan?) and either use NAT or bridges for connectivity. NAT for machines with only one public IP (like VPSes) and bridges for homelab setup where I want a more visible setup.

When setting up NAT I just use PF as my firewall, and assign static addresses to each jail.

How long will you be able to keep up with this near yearly doubling of bandwidth used for serving video? :)
