    I dunno about "old timey", I wrote a system that does exactly this like six months ago. Granted, it's a money tracking system. It's always surprising to me how much of the real wor…

    Webhooks are a painful problem. To clarify, Stripe's events API definitely ships a cursor and polling it has been the method preferred by large consumers for a long time.

    Out of curiosity, do you use the pi-xmpp[1] extension or do you have your own? [1]: https://pi.dev/packages/pi-xmpp

    I spun up a simplefin sync tool recently and they made some surprising errors with some of my accounts (incorrect sign, completely missing some transactions). Also they don't do in…

    That's not really DCA, at least how I understand it. DCA is something like "I have $520,000 in cash right now today sitting in checking, I'm going to buy $10,000 a week of VTSAX fo…

    (Pedantically) Maximum prefix length of /64 is only required if you want/need SLAAC. If you're assigning static addresses or using DHCPv6 for assignment you can go as small as you …

    Having grown up in a small midwest town in an R&R desert, I think the canonical answer is a liquor license.

    Sure! That's the setup I was running before all of this. My problems are likely entirely my own making, tbh, as described in the article. IME K8s in general and longhorn especially…

    Hey thanks! That's my favorite recent addition. The host machines resolve a GUA from an ISP-provided prefix like normal. On top of that, I l33t'd my way to a fun ULA prefix. Each h…

    Agree! There are a ton of people out there that are happily running k8s on their homelab and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I tried it and found it was just too much …

    I haven't, mostly for personal reasons rather than technical ones.

    Hey, author here. This is a piece about moving away from kubernetes and toward something that I can actually maintain as a solo person who has a life outside of k9s. It's not reall…

    Mold growth is a moisture problem which can either be because of condensation or because of leaks. I agree with the contractors, properly framing out and insulating the interior wo…

    "Density of cliches" is a great way of putting it. It's exhausting to write that way and unpleasant to read back in the edit process which is why that kind of thing doesn't happen …

    I've thought about doing this a couple times but haven't followed through yet. What makes yours different/unique compared to, say, pi?

    Nice! I built something along these lines but far more janky. My setup is a clamp-mount mic boom arm and an L-shaped bracket, along with a mic-to-1/4" adapter. Boom clamps to the m…
