Snippet: See a lot of "should I get a VPS or build a homelab" posts here and the framing always feels off to me. Its not either or. Ive run both for a couple years now and they do genuinely different jobs. Figured id share how i split it in case it helps anyone on the fence. What stays home The heavy and the private stuff. Anything that's a lot of data or that i just want physically under my own roof. My proxmox box does most…

Snippet: I just spent a whole day on a very irritating gotcha, and I'm looking to see if there's a big-picture approach that can keep me from ending up here again. Fairly new to Docker. Working on containerizing a web app with a couple different moving parts. Got the frontend working inside of a Caddy image, got it pushed to my DigitalOcean droplet, but then it just sat there, not acknowledging or even rejecting any requests.…

Snippet: I’m a software engineer based in Canada looking to get started with low-frequency algorithmic trading—likely daily or weekly rebalancing rather than intraday trading.

Snippet: My vote says "Player Friction". By that I mean simple things like. Not having a LFG, but rather letting groups use the in game chat. No cross server play unless pvp. (you should know your community) No Flying Mounts at 300% speed... Not Teleporting players around, Without LFG, you wont need to auto teleport to your group on joining. things slow down. Just because you have a life and limited time, does not mean faster…

Snippet: So the context for this isn't exactly short, please bear with me to explain. About a year ago, I bought a Milk-V Pioneer - a 64core RISC-V board with a Sophgon SG2042, and later it even got EOL/EOS'd. I got exactly one set of support emails out of Milk-V before they never replied to me again, and so I have been largely on my own trying to make this project work out. And I learned a lot too - because, by default, this…

Snippet: Just remember that not every self hosted application has a team of experienced devs behind it ensuring security is adequate.

Every other day I see a new self hosted program that someone made in an afternoon. Usually, there’s absolutely zero security or failsafe built in if a b…
