HN discussionSame, I originally had a bunch of RasPi's in my lab running differing versions of Raspbian until I got tired of the configuration drift and finally Nixified all of them. Writing a single Nix Flake and being able to build declarative SD card installation images for all of them makes managing a bunch of different machines an absolute dream (tutorial here[0], for those interested). The only issue is remotely deploying…

HN discussionI agree. For most people just starting out, it's a lot more worthwhile to get a single cheapo repurposed desktop or a single Raspberry Pi to run PiHole or something on and then expand from there. My homelab[0] started as a single Pi running PiHole and has expanded to four machines running everything I need from Jellyfin to Calibre to DNS, etc. That being said, when I finally got around to rackmounting and upgrading…

HN discussionI also did a deep dive on Urbit a few months back (shameless plug: https://blog.janissary.xyz/posts/urbit ), and I really agree with the author for the most part. Definitely the most concerning part of Urbit, for me at least, is the obscurantism of Hoon. Much like the author says, it's totally incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't read through every bit of the (lacking imo) documentation. Even a domain-specific lang…

HN discussionhttps://blog.janissary.xyz Mostly technical stuff, some non-technical stuff. I'm currently (indefinitely?) writing a series of posts documenting all the stuff I'm working on in my homelab, which has been fun.

HN discussionI remember when I was diving deep into Docker for the first time a few years ago, I would have really appreciated seeing something like this. I wrote something kind of similar in a blog post [0], but that was only a semi-confident note to self that took quite a bit of digging through READMEs and GitHub issues. All the different container runtimes/engines/interfaces are really enough to make your head spin. [0] https…
