Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces?

    Software engineer here who works on web services. Most production-critical things in our workplace aren't managed by GUI's, or command lines... but by code. There are usually some infrastructure-as-code tools involved, like Terraform, CDK or Pulumi.

    GUI's are often reserved for quick fixes and trying out things on staging servers (derisively called "click-ops").

    I've gone through a similar conclusion myself. I used to use daily notes, dataview, and all sorts of Obsidian plugins to manage my tasks.

    I find that I generally like to keep my vault to primarily be a "long term storage" tool. I want to use search to find curated info, not littered with to-do notes that don't add value past it's due date.

    I've since migrated my To-Do activities to TickTick, and moved my daily notes to a secondary vault.

    It's a desperate move to prevent a checkmate. If white did anything else (try c5 for example), black will reply with g6#.

    If white did Bxf6, and black tries g6, white can escape by doing Kxg5.

    Honestly I've been wondering why AI porn is so... predictably unusual? Like I would have imagined having AI means we'll have absurd pterodactyl porn, but instead it's just nude photography but AI

    Any tips on dealing with symbols for programming?

    My preferred way is to have one symbol layer with all the symbols. It prevents having to constantly doing shift/unshift or switching layers (I personally call this "shift dancing") 😀

    It looks like this:

    I got a list that I purposefully set up to grow. It's not a to-do list... It's a "might do" list. When things get messy in my to-do list, I move those items to the might-do list.

    Having 100 undone items on that list isn't a shameful thing, it means I said "no" to all those items (either actively or passively) and I try to celebrate that.

    I've been on Minimal theme for ages. I don't see the appeal of trying others - Minimal is great by default, and allows for so much customisation as needed.

    thank you so much for all the suggestions!

    My biggest takeaway from all this is managed VPN solutions like Tailscale are cheap ($0), easy to set up, and lets me not expose ports to the outside world.

    I've been thinking about this for a while. Years ago I would have said customisation (root, custom ROMs, etc) but lately the need for that has gone down a lot for me. Now, it's:

    • Termux - a Linux terminal on the go
    • Syncthing - self-hosted file sync
    • Home screen widgets for Todoist

    Mostly a convenience thing, since I only need it on-demand and I usually use SSH for things anyway. As this post suggests I'm obviously rethinking that now :)

  • Hey all! For the longest time I've had a server that hosts some things (eg Syncthing), but is only available via SSH tunneling. I've been thinking of self-hosting more things like Nextcloud and Vaultwarden. I can keep my SSH tunneling setup but it might make it difficult to do SSL. How do you manage the security of having public-facing servers?

    Increasing Collaboration Confidence with bin/setup

    I've seen bin/setup before, but it's not common for me to see it in use in CI. That's amazing and it's a good way to ensure it's up to date.

    With that said, I'm still skeptical about running a 100-line script on my system, especially for open source projects. I feel it might be better to optimise to simplify the bootstrap process into recognisable commands (docker compose up && yarn && yarn dev).
