I have something similar to host paths with node selectors: an NFS provisioner for PVs. The provisioner is tied to the node with the large disk. It’s not resilient to node outages, but allows me to spread pods across the nodes. For my deployments, I’m preferring to use S3 storage wherever possible.

Excellent write-up. I had Nextcloud running on K3s with its files on a NAS which were shared with Minio and it worked well. I’m looking into Longhorn, but only have 2 nodes and it wants at least 3. I’m reevaluating my resiliency needs in favour of simplification.

Why doesn’t the hypocrisy argument hold water? I do it with some things to be able to look myself in the mirror. For example, I was shopping for a new pillow and was planning to get a My Pillow and then things happened and I can’t see myself laying my head on one. There are hundreds of good people who work hard to make it a good pillow, but the top guy put togerher a plan to overthrow the US government. I can’t get behind that.

Conversely, I’m sure that United Way has a pedophile or rapist or other miscreant on the payroll. Giving to them indirectly funds that, but they’re not advertising their behavior so i can still feel good to give 'em my donations.

I got tired of telling everyone to close the pantry door. It obstructs free movement in the kitchen, bangs against doors, drawers, the oven and fridge. I installed a spring hinge and now it closes itself.

I don’t really understand the purpose of “unpopular opinion”, so if I’m supposed to change your opinion, I won’t. However, what would you think about a vegan running around yelling, “meat is murder” and then sitting down to eat a bacon double cheeseburger?

What if really came to say is that your view has been covered before. Some choice quotes from the article:

any election that requires you to “vote with your wallet” is always won by the people with the thickest wallets

Conversely,

The Montgomery bus boycott was an organized project, put together by a powerful membership organization, the NAACP, that demanded far more of its members than merely shopping very carefully. The boycott was the end stage of an organized resistance, not a substitute for it.

Go read the article, it’ll refine your argument and maybe soften some aspects of it.

While targeted advertisements may be nice because it’s only showing you things that they think that you’ll want/need/like, the other side of surveillance based advertising is surveillance pricing.

Surveillance pricing analyzes massive troves of your personal information to predict the price you would be willing to pay for an item—and charge you accordingly. Retailers can charge a higher price when it thinks you can afford to spend more—on payday, for example. Or when you need something the most, such as in an emergency.

I’ll second the fresh eggs part. We get our family’s eggs from a farmer in the next town over. They said that week old eggs will peel much easier.

FWIW, place week old eggs in a pot, cover with cool water, bring to a rolling boil, cover and remove from heat. Wait 20 minutes exactly, then dunk in cool water.

As others have suggested, bang top and bottom of the egg, then roll gently on the countertop/table to crush all of the shell without piercing the membrane, then pierce through the membrane on the top of the egg where the air bubble is and peel from there. Most of the time the shell amd membrane comes off in one piece.

Clubs are a great suggestion. I’d add that volunteering can also sometimes help. I’ve heard that meal delivery services to the elderly can help tremendously and most of the time, the recipient just wants someone to talk to. Similarly, retirement homes are always looking for volunteers for events, like game night. Again, most of the people served just want someone to talk to. In some instances, volunteering can qualify you for insurance discounts and even help land scholarships.

Thanks for continuing to post pictures of Sandy. They’ve frequently been a happy escape from all the negativity online and IRL, particularly today. I don’t get to be around horses except every 5 years or so and seeing the range of emotions and behaviours you capture in Sandy is fun for me.

I’ve been looking to do this, but haven’t found a good, easy to use pull thru proxy for docker, ghcr.io and some other registries. Most support docker only.

This one looks promising but overly complicated to set up.

A few times now, I’ve gone to restart a container and the repo’s been moved, archived or paywalled. Other times, I’m running a few versions behind and the maintainer decided to not support it, but upgrading would mean a complete overhaul of my Helm values file. Ugh!

I was considering a docker registry on separate ports for each upstream registry I’d like to proxy/cache.

I wish there was a bot for paywalled articles.

I read an opinion piece that suggested that he is upset that Minnesota is the only blue state in a region of red. Given that Minnesota is primarily white, he felt that he could use the Somali fraud as a way to turn [white] people against the democrats using xenophobia.

Edit: I found the article.

Anxiety. The knock-you-out pills conflict with the anti-anxiety pills, so i don’t take the anti-anxiety pills, which makes the anxiety worse. I want to get on the plane so that I can get into a seat and take the knock-you-out pills so that they might work before taking off. What if someone’s in my assigned seat? What if I have to interact with them? What if they’re difficult? What if all the bins are full, then I need to take my batteries & meds out of the bag because they may lose them?

All of these what-if things have happened to me.

I prefer to drive but sometimes I don’t have the luxury of time.

Marital law == dictatorship. As far as I have read, that’s the plan, then there will be no more elections and he can use the military for anything he can dream up. He’s very worried about the midterm elections. Many signs are predicting the end of the republican majority in both sides of congress.

There is another way that does not involve violence, but it’ll require a coalition. Several states will need to band together and withhold funding.

No, it’s not normal. We will reminisce about events during the pregnancy and birth as a way to suggest that our child’s personality was present well before birth.

Maybe go to the thrift store and get an old donated metal from track and field or something and etch something witty on it and maybe that’ll make your point for you.

It should have said that they went to get a rag to clean up the spilled jug and realized that they had no clean rags because laundry wasn’t done so they went to do laundry…

I think they prefer to be called Native United States of Americans.

(This is a bad joke, playing on the original topic, don’t hate me)

Lots of great advice here and in the comments. To add some clarity to driving carefully, imagine that you are driving with an open fish tank on the floor of the passenger side and you don’t want to lose any fish.

In the case of Apple, you’d host your stuff on whatever app store is the most popular in any given country. It’s sort of like F-Droid but for the normies.

What’s really interesting is the thought of jailbreaking your own tractor, opening the possibility to local aftermarket parts. Again, this would take the money from John Deere and open up a local market.

I am consistently disappointed when I hear politicians’ only recourse to anything is taxes. Remember how they were going to tax email to fix the spam problem?
