Want your thoughts. Every time I watch this channel, I feel like everything is overkill. Why does one need k3s to run homelab services, or colocating your infrastructure when it is just you and your partner? I am trying to understand it.

Yes. I tried to click on that twice; the first time within the text of the toast button and then on the right chevron. I really hate having to wait when it's arbitrary and doesn't add anything to the challenge.

I have this disorder. When you are starting to feel psychosis coming it gets incredibly difficult to shake.

I used to believe that god was speaking to me about how to love and abide by him through songs by Fiona Apple, Chris Cornell, whatever the hell I was listening to at the time. I would tell the techs in the place I was at to listen to the songs and I tried to convince them it was god, to which they would respond it was not.

There was a period of time where I was non-compliant with my medication because they didn't actually work. I stopped taking them altogether and I went into the deepest psychotic episode I'd ever had till that point. I would listen to things like Cannibal Corpse or Morbid Angel and get so freaked out I'd run to the bathroom and pray. Mind you, I had been awake for three straight days at the point, while going with 10 hours of sleep a week, at most. I called Crisis one night and told them there were demons outside of my door and if they could not remove them I was going to jump out of my apartment window. It may sound ridiculous but that was the most fearful I've ever been in my entire life, and I've been through awful awful shit.

Lately, as a middle aged person, my hallucinations have become even weirder. Hallucinating white bubbles that fill my entire vision or feeling like my face is made out of jagged alphabet blocks jutting out of my face.

I am not sure why this happens. I've been dealing with mental illness since I was at least 9, which is when I started to hear voices. By 11 I was crying everyday after school. By 12 the mania started to become real and then the hallucinations my freshman year that led to my first suicide attempt at 14. That was the year I got diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder which has morphed into Schizoaffective Disorder.

Brains are wild, wacky, unreliable little mounds of fat and water, no?


Thanks so much for sharing that. It sounds familiar.

I sincerely wish you the very best.


What isn't secure about Tails? Its been recommended by so many InfoSec podcasts that I've been poking around in it on a USB stick


Tails uses a less secure model because it relies on the system firewall to block any non-Tor connections. This means that any user to root vulnerability will leave you naked, deanonymized. Additionally, protocol leaks, or unintentional leaks are more likely to happen. Both of which have happened in the past and are not mere speculation.

I've commented in this thread that at one point, such a vulnerability was left unpatched in Tails for years despite being documented and a PoC existing.

Whonix on the other uses two VMs, one of which runs Tor and the other applications, and connects via an internal network. This means that non-Tor connections are impossible, as the VM where you run software is completely unaware of the real, external IP.

This raises the level of exploit needed substantially, from user to root, to remote kernel exploits or hypervisor escapes.


Could also say it's happened at Twitter, too, outside of sports Twitter. When I had my main account with 2K followers for years engagement was pretty high and consistent. Then Twitter made sharing links to your own content impossible to drive engagement to your own content which, considering the amount of anger and virtue signaling on Twitter, caused me to use it less and less.

Then Elon bought it and it became a right wing platform for what I can only describe as fascism disguised as "free speech". I'd log in and see virtually no one over time. Granted my main account was very tech/developer heavy and those communities seem to skew left. But I decided it just made me sad to login and have to see how hollow it was.

Glad to have experienced it 2014-2016 though. That was peak Tech Twitter for me.


I always thought that the loosely held part of that motto meant that you should reevaluate a position you’ve held onto when new evidence is presented.


What about "strong opinion when there is strong evidence"? Otherwise, you have absurdities like that of the author of the article, who told everyone and their cousins that, for example, 4 hours of sleep was enough and then realized he needed more sleep. He had a strong opinion without solid evidence. The "loosely held" part is meaningless, of course (in theory...) one has to change opinion when the evidence changes.


I can't seem to find the pricing for Nango Cloud without going through a Typeform form.

I don't want to spin up a droplet or Linode only to have the tokens stored unencrypted and in plain text in, IIUC, the client? I understand the need to keep things tight as a small OSS startup but my project is a one dev show on a small scale.

I want to check this out but having to self-host with very real security risks is a no go for me.


Cloud pricing is here: https://www.nango.dev/pricing It is free for 10 tokens (and then continues at $0.5/token/month), sounds like that might fit your use case well?


This is just a bit of advice for new/junior devs.


Yeah. Didn't see that. Thanks.
