It's lovely that these devices get a chance at being productive again.

One of the scary things about ransomware attacks is to think of the possibility of other actors having gotten in before and copied all the data. I can't imagine the security hole is always an unknown zero day.

I know this is only one aspect of a migration but it was at least trivial for me to import my ZFS cluster from TrueNAS Core into TrueNAS Scale.

A little off topic but does TrueNAS Scale require an Enterprise SSD for the OS drive? IIRC TrueNAS Scale runs Kubernetes under the hood. I'm curious if a regular consumer SSD would be quickly destroyed by the frequent random writes needed for K8s/etcd?

Here's a wild idea!

- Bitwarden

- Self-host

- Don't listen on public Internet IPs or regular LAN IPs

- Listen on Tailscale IP.

- Put TLS in front of it the Tailscale way.

- Run Tailscale on all your devices and access Bitwarden from your private network.

I use PostgreSQL in a container in my home lab. The backup is uploaded to GCP every morning 0200 with a 90 day retention policy.

PostgreSQL handles my finances, my database of quotes & collection of notes.

The IOT space is famously immature on security. Hopefully Google's efforts here will go some way to improving the security side

> This lets people gradually use Tailscale SSH over time without messing with their system one.

That is something I have really appreciated about Tailscale. It seems to consistently not mess with the existing environment. Considering it does networking witchcraft and it works on a variety of architectures and OSs this is quite an accomplishment.

I suspect Tailscale's customers have found the same.

> Is the Mac/Linux community still so small that no one cares about it?

I'm battling to find it now... but I read previously that a game studio found 1. they received a lot more variety in support tickets from people on nix (lots of interesting window managers, distros, etc)

2. A huge portion of their support tickets were from the tiny portion of customers running
nix.

This was interesting for me to read at the time because I had played with Unity and Unreal Engine. I found developing for a number of platforms to be relatively trivial - but then again I wasn't trying anything particularly impressive or distributing builds etc.

Congratulations and all the best for your venture!

One of my favorite aspects of Factorio was that the environment constrained your scaling. Grow out too fast and your tech won't be able to hold back the evolved hordes. Build too far away before you can defend it and it you'll be defending too far and wide before you even know it.

@iliketrains May I ask if this game will have an environmental component/conflict to constrain the player scaling various concerns and prevent it from becoming a uneventful sim?

On the other side of things, I wonder if you could create a decent value prop for podcast clients to embed your chat bit inline or similar

So glad to see this. There is a real opportunity to create a decent space for these discussions. Allowing the podcast host to determine the governance model could get interesting and the possibility of allowing podcasts to monetize their /r/ could make it attractive to them

Started trying Vaultwarden last night and so far I'm really impressed. I have it integrated into my desktop, laptops and browsers. I just need to automate my backups. For self-hosting passwords and similar files it seems rock solid so far.

I wouldn't worry. The Balrog shall not pass.

And the top exporter of wheat IIRC? Also Ukraine is something like top 10 wheat exporter.

At this point it feels like I hear "We will consider X as a declaration of war" from Russia every day or so. It reminds me of the Uno Wild Card. I wonder if they're using it as a catch all for any gaps in their armor?

Can't handle more sanctions? Uno wild card! Don't want anyone supporting the Ukrainian defense effort? Uno wild card! Can't guarantee the security of satellites? Uno wild card!
