Its really impressive how much Tailscale care about the UX of the whole product all the way down to the level of not over complicating their menus.

The whole Tailscale experience for an enduser (ie not Tailscale admin) is so much nicer than compared with something like OpenVPN in a place without MDM.

I had to change Microsoft -> MS and Cloudflare to CF otherwise the title wouldn't submit.

Damn, that sucks. How painful.

Honestly tempted to ditch docker-compose in favour of just a bunch of LXC/LCD containers in place. Sure, I mightn't have all the nice networking but damn each container getting internet-routable IPv6 address is just damn nice.

How'd you go getting docker + IPv6 going? I spent hours trying to get docker containers to get native IPv6 IPs and eventually gave up because it was to painful.

I'm a recent Obsidian convert, absolutely love it and its the only note taking app that I've managed to stick to past a few weeks. How do you use custom scripts in it? I'm aware you can make plugins and things for it but I'd love to be able to write up a script or two to update some shortcodes for some nice weekly stats in a few places if possible

Has anyone been able to successfully resolve screen tearing with nVidia graphics cards on linux? I have a nVidia 1070 with a beefy AMD Ryzen 7 3700X that I would love to use as a daily driver but I just can't stand scrolling in FF on it. I constantly get tearing and other artifacts that make it so frustrating to use I give up.

I've tried every tutorial I can find on the net, every CLI flag etc. Nothing seems to work!

I really want to try and deploy smallstep at home but one stumbling block I always hit is deploying the CA (or ideally the mTLS certificate!) to end user devices like phones, laptops etc. Maybe I'm missing something entirely but I think I'd need a full MDM profile or setup for phones/mobile devices. Is this theoretically a lot easier than I'm making it? I'd just need an iPad, iPhone and MacBook.

Apart from that thankyou so much for what you've done and provided for the opensource community. The smallstep toolkit is truly fantastic.

I really like Caddy and use it on a few projects. Its a good piece of software that generally just works.

Their latest security incident leaves me feeling somewhat uneasy though. The only announcement for it was on twitter[1] and a footnote on one of the releases[2]. I don't believe there was ever a mention of the incident on the official forum so if you weren't following them on Twitter you'd never find out.

The general messaging around it was "a GitHub bug caused it" and its never really been followed up on publicly :\

I use VictorOps (Now Splunk On-Call) currently and it does the job. Its shift override functionality is quite confusing to get your head around at first but makes sense after the first few times.

I've also used OpsGenie (Atlassian now) and really enjoyed it. The amount of integrations they have is staggering.

Podman in Linux 5 years ago

I tried to give Podman a go on Ubuntu 20.04 and it _worked_ but I could never get it going with a docker-compose file.

There is apparently support in the works, but I can't find or get that support on Ubuntu at this stage. Shame, I was hoping it might support IPv6 better than docker currently does.

Cool, makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to reply! Really big fan of fly, run a few apps on it now and the experience has been fantastic.

How are POST requests replayed into different regions? Does your edge proxy hold the whole POST requests (body and all?) just in case it needs to be replayed?

I use fly to host a few apps and its fantastic. Extremely responsive and it handling TLS offload is great from a performance perspective.

I find their billing dashboard leaves a bit to be desired, I'm still very nervous I'm going to get a big unexpected bill.

I really like Pop!_OS' tiling feature but the one thing that really bugs me is you can't disable windows always raising on hover. You're meant to be able to tweak it using Gnome Tweaks however disabling the option and enabling tiling means flinging your mousing anywhere causes all the windows in its track to raise to the front. If you've got a floating window it just disappears behind the stack.

Theres an open issue[1] but it hasn't been solved yet.

I really love email since I can come to it when I please and I don't have a notification I have to leave unread on my phone. I setup a Lambda job that runs twice a day (morning and lunchtime) that takes the top pages from HN and sends them in a nice email format (just headlines, comment count and author) so I can look at the ones I want.

Recently I've made another script that looks at all the new posts from my RSS reader (Miniflux) over the last 24 hours and sends them to me in an email. Just the title and site name so its easy to parse/glance over.
