  • Those who don't use dashboards, how are you managing your services?

    Jump

  • Surely, if you forget it's even running, you aren't using it, and it doesn't matter if it stops running? (With a couple of obvious exceptions like automated backups, etc)

  • df showing a full (99%) ssd, but du only showing a fraction of that? UPDATED

    Jump

  • Where are you running du -sh *? (I.e. what directory, are you definitely scanning the whole file system?) I'm sure it's obvious, but can never hurt to check!

    What does du -sh / show? (Generally, the * glob pattern in the shell will not match hidden dot-files, so is it possible they are being excluded?)

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • If you're using the AIO image, backup/restore can handled for you, so no need to worry about the manual steps involved. Or if you're using a VM, a backup can take the form of full system snapshots, so also no need to understand how data are stored. Granted it's always helpful to know what your running, but not necessarily requisite, even for backups.

  • Getting Started with Proxmox

    Jump

  • Absolutely. I actually have an upgrade already planned, but it's just that it's not because I can't run VMs, it's more that I want to run more hungry services than will fit on those resources, whatever virtualisation layers were being used. The fact that it's an easy fix to more a VM/lxc to a new host is absolutely it, though.

  • Am I looking at the wrong device? Beelink EQ15 looks like it has an N150 and looks like 16GB of ram? That's plenty for quite few VMs. I run an N100 minipc with only 8GB of RAM and about half a dozen VMs and a similar number of LXC containers. As long as you're careful about only provisioning what each VM actually needs, it can be plenty.

  • Does AI need to be perfect to replace jobs?

    Jump

  • Why would you use an LLM for this? This sounds like a process easily handled by conventional logic, which would be cheaper, faster, and actually reliable... (The 'notes' part notwithstanding I guess, but calculations in general are definitely not a good use of an LLM)

  • IT-TOOLS - Collection of handy online tools for developers, with great UX

    Jump

  • Or use both. That's what I do, they serve suitably different needs for different situations, even if there is an overlap, and it's not like they're heavy tools

  • [Meme] The software compiling experience on the Deck

    Jump

  • But then for that you have distrobox, which is great. If that's not enough, running another OS is also trivial, so that downside really is only 'kinda', as you say!

  • Goodbye SASS, welcome back native CSS

    Jump

  • They're referring (I believe) to the screenshot right at the top of the article, which includes this absurd calculation:

     
        
border-radius: max (0px, min(8px, calc( (100vw - 4px - 100%) * 9999)) );

    My guess (hope!) is that this is not 'serious' code, but padding for the sake of a screenshot to demonstrate that it's possible to use each of these different features (not that you should!).

  • The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023 (Still No Excuses!)

    Jump

  • To say I'm annoyed would be very much overstating it, just a (very minor) eye-roll at one small line in a generally very good article. Just the bit quoted:

    currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)

    So they could also be attributing it to some other country that uses $ for their currency, which is a few, but it seems most likely to be suggesting USD.

    Jump

  • Well, it's not really clear-cut, which is part of my point, but probably the 2 most significant people I could think of would be Babbage and Turing, both of whom were English. Definitely could make arguments about what is or isn't considered a 'computer', to the point where it's fuzzy, but regardless of how you look at it, 'computers were invented in America' is rather a stretch.

  • currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)

    Who wants to tell the author that not everything was invented in the US? (And computers certainly weren't)
