This is something I struggle with constantly. I feel like everybody around me does not care about their privacy. All of them say the typical “Why go through all the effort, sacrificing a lot of functionality and convenience for the sake of privacy? I have nothing to hide!”. It drives me crazy, and I feel kind of powerless without a convincing argument that makes them at least understand that installing stuff like Instagram on your phone is basically willingly installing a virus. They don’t even get surprised anymore when the ads they see are about stuff they were talking about with someone else in real life, and never mentioned or searched in their phones. I’m afraid that this will only get worse with time, and new generations that are being born under these circumstances are going to see it as normal. This means that making them understand the implications of not taking their privacy seriously is going to be harder and harder. I won’t give up, though. I’m still searching for my “irrefutable argument”.

I don’t get it either! It’s a good article and I 100% agree with the author. Maybe it’s because it’s talking about a service and the whole article can be considered as advertisement, but I don’t agree.

Stephen Hawes

He made really cool electronics projects and I used to be his patreon. Now he started a company that makes pick and place machines and all of his videos are exclusively about that. No more cool projects.

Alexandre Chappel

He is a very good maker and designer. He used to make videos about different interesting projects until he bought an apartment and started renovating it himself. Similarly to Stephen’s, all of his videos are about that now. No more interesting projects.

I don’t really care for this product. It’s another unnecessary AI assistant. What I’m struggling to understand is why it matters which platform it’s been built on. What difference would it make if they wrote an entire OS from scratch only for this device instead of using Android, if the end product would be the same?

Sorry! I know it’s been ages, but this is what I use:

• For Postgres: https://github.com/prodrigestivill/docker-postgres-backup-local
• For MySQL: https://github.com/fradelg/docker-mysql-cron-backup

Not so long ago I had the same question myself, and I ended up setting 1 Postgress instance and 1 MySQL instance for all services to share. In the long run, I had so many version and settings incompatibilities across services that moved back to one DB per service that is tuned specifically for it. Also, I add a backup app to all my docker compose files that have a DB in it. This way, backups happen periodically and automatically.

Gotcha. Thanks!

For me it was the Dolomites, in Italy. I considered abandoning my current life and moving there several times during my trip.

Hello again! I am trying Flatcar, and I really like the concept. I had not used immutable distros before. I have a question: How can I apply changes to the configuration? I have a YAML file with the butane config and transpile it to a JSON file with the ignition configuration. How do I apply that new configuration? Do I have to delete the VM and start over again, or is there a way to update it inside the VM? I looked around in the official docs, but did not find anything :(

I use it too! I really like it :)

Looks good! I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

This is my plan B in case I can’t find a lightweight distro to replace RancherOS. Thanks!

This looks super interesting. Thanks! One question though; can I still use it if I don’t want to use Kubernetes? I just want to deploy a few containers here and there. I was thinking about moving everything to Kubernetes, but it seems a bit overkill for the 10 containers I have running.

I listen to Late Night Linux, and find it quite good. They also have a few other related podcasts, but haven’t had the time to check those.

I’m also new to this topic and last week bought an OralB as a test. I found it underpowered, noisy and big. I returned it and bought one that gets attached to your faucet. Zero technology, but has waaay more pressure than an electric one, is silent, does not break and barely uses any space. This is it.
