Learn Linux before Docker, Kubernetes and AWS.
They are derived technology from the OS.
And you'll understand them deeper by knowing Linux.

Glad I had an extra Mac lying around. My flakes worked without any changes. Lovely! #macos26 #nix

Anyone using #Proxmox on #Scaleway with Private Networks + Public Gateways? After live migration, I’m seeing weird ARP issues—TCP window size spikes and download drops below 100KB/s. Support is helpful but slow. Anyone else run into this?

The saga continues. Moved from OVH to Scaleway for my personal servers. A bit more expensive, but generally better support for private networking on bare metal. At least for the cheapest servers. Working great with proxmox. Might add another node to be able to setup ceph. #eu #proxmox #nix

Patch now, if you haven’t already!

I ditched Proxmox due to the missing vRack functionality on their cheaper services. Now running three physical servers with #nixOS

So far, everything is working fine. Their billing service sends a lot of unnecessary emails, but the technical side is okay. I was hoping to use vRack with the cheaper servers, but that wasn’t an option. I’ll probably stay here for a while.

Knot seems to be the answer - www.knot-dns.cz

I’m looking for a fast, easy to configure and lightweight #DNS server that supports #DNSSEC. Preferably something that can run out of the box on #nixos. Any recommendations?

Migrated my services from #Vultr -> #Hezner -> #OVH in just over one week. Hopefully I’m done switching providers now. Dedicated servers on OVH are really cheap. Running with #proxmox which gives a lot of possibilities.

I got tired of checking spot prices manually, so I wrote a small script to check from #cli. #aws #spot #spotinst

Wow, that was fast! Good work!

Hugo is quite easy to get started with. And I really like that everything is static files when deployed. I haven’t used Grav, but it looks to have more features, and maybe a bit more bloated?

My guess is that it will be quite easy to migrate from Grav to Hugo.

Just migrated my webpage from my (over-engineered) Rust application to #gohugo. I was already using Markdown files for posts, so the migration took about an hour from installation to finished «product». Now using the #PaperMod theme. Easy-peasy.

That’s 1000 days without security patches. If your going to upgrade, add one or two extra nodes to your cluster so you can upgrade the OS without any downtime to your applications.

They should learn how operating systems function in school. Kids should understand how things work, not just how to use them—just as they should learn basic coding skills.
