That’s fair.

The key here is “better performance at similar price points”. There are absolutely amazing 2.5 drives made for server applications, but they cost so much money you’re better off getting SSD these days.

Speaking of which, you should consider SSD.

Am I out of touch?

No, it’s the Free Software Foundation that is wrong about Free software licensing practices!

In general terms, if you are not sure if you need a VLAN, you do not need a VLAN.

It dramatically complicates your home networks (yes, plural at that point), which is fine if IT serves a purpose.

But if there isn’t a compelling reason for them you are just imposing a management cost for no benefit.

“Long term support” is 15 months?

Is this a fucking joke?

They can decide and announce all they want. In the end they have to become a more compelling product than gitea on the merits, not just because of nebulous anti-commercial ideology.

That would mean they would have to do actual development instead of just scraping off stickers, so I’m not holding my breath.

You are absolutely free to fuck yourself over by using a niche option plagued by weird problems.

Or you could, like, not do that.

You are right, I wanted to address two different issues and they sort of merged together in my head.

Carry on ;)

Caveat emptor, split DNS can cause issues down the line that are a proper nightmare to debug.

Don’t do it unless you a) understand what is happening on your network when you config it this way b) have the tools and ability to verify it is working like you think it should and troubleshoot when things eventually break and c) can exercise enough control over your network to make sure all DNS resolution in your LAN happens the way you think it should.

You’ll be putting yourself in a situation where a typo, or a wrong docker compose copy/paste, or a default config you forgot to override, will expose stuff to the Internet.

Yes you can. Just set your routers accordingly.

Also: it’s probably not what you want. Trivial misconfigs would have disastrous effects.

That’s energy, not power. If that’s the energy consumption per hour, then that’s 120W, which is high but not outrageous with a full size computer with 6 disks.

First subdomain. I think HA is completely right that proxy with a subpath is basically an anti-pattern that just makes things worse for you and is always a bad idea (with very few exceptions).

It’s only an “anti pattern” because app developers are, on the whole, lazy bastards that start out hard coding stuff and then get discouraged at the amount of work needed to fix things after the fact.

I should know: I am one of these people.

It’s crap, it’s best to roll with the punches and use a sub domain.

Add ons are just shitty packaging of other software. Just run the other software directly.

I took a look at HAOS and declared it to be junk. I admire your optimism, but you should too.

It’s aimed at a no man’s land of people that run HA but don’t know how to manage their own docker. It’s just weird.

Bare repos with multiple users are a bit of a hassle because of file permissions. It works, and works well, as long as you set things up right and have clear processes. But god help you if you don’t.

I find that with multiple users the safest way is to set up/use a service. Plus you get a lot of extra features like issue tracking and stuff.

I definitely do not count it against them as long as they know how to human at the interview. I just review the code as I would any repo.

The only thing is that with regular projects I tend to go “I noticed on your GitHub you have project X that uses technology Y, etc etc”. With H projects I just go “do you have experience with Y” and let him choose how much he wants to share about the project. So far they remain vague on the non technical details and I let them leave with their dignity intact.

So, ranked, way ahead of candidates without visible projects, but slightly behind people with projects we can discuss in detail in front of the people from HR ;)

I love it when I check out am applicants’ GitHub and run into a bunch of repositories with mods for hentai games.

Everything I wrote is rigorously correct, if a bit tongue in cheek.

Go play with your Dunning Kruger somewhere else.
