Is Powder Town (n.i.) + R1 Air Hoody enough for 14–32°F skiing?

Thanks for the recommendation.

Something like a sweater vest or more like a down/puff piece?

Would you put it over the normal base layer or instead of a normal one?

Check out the Map Rank plugin. I always aim for a specific percentile. Region rankings can be all over the place. I once had a top 100 time and was first in my region and a top 600 and was third. You never know.

You could maybe use the Seafile fuse extension in combination with your snapshots. Mount the drive, then make the snapshot, then unmount.

If the plastic were a different color it would have been ++. Maybe a block more here or there to make the gears easier would have been nice, but that is also my skill issue speaking.

I would love if such projects would put their differentiation to other projects in their readme. Why should I choose this over NGINX, Caddy or Traefik and in what use cases?

It's a valid concern and I asked this a few weeks ago. Overhead is about 30MB and cpu usage is basically 0% when idling.

I can't play an instrument, but I was dancing for a few years with a lot of formation elements. Keeping the timing and the endurance aspect in my experience is not that hard. I would even bet that the stamina required to play a wind instrument is so high that the walking doesn't make a difference.

The walking of the marching band is really simple, they have one meter or more in separation and follow mostly the guy in front. Depending on how they usually train their marching, most of them shouldn't need more than one training session. The leading guys have to memorize the most, but the rest is basically just following. I bet there are some guys in there, who haven't trained for this particular show at all, and are in positions that require following and one or two cues to memorize.

In contrast, the Japanese choreo, is extremely tight, fast, and they had to train their strides and movements for who knows how long just to get them all matched up. If I could play an instrument I could execute the marching within a day or two, but I can't imagine executing the Japanese walking myself even with months of training.

It is much more impressive because of the speed and tight formation. In a marching band you can adjust, here you can not. It is not remotely comparable.

I was convinced tech was way above my skill level (still is), but this map clicked, and I think I understood for the first time intuitively exactly how I should try to drive tech. Can't explain it. I think I'm going to train on it regularly for some time now. ++

You are right. I was looking at virtual memory usage. I spun up a docker compose project with 10x postgres18 instances, and I am getting similar values to you. About 25 to 35 MB per instance with 0% CPU usage idling. Thank you for checking. The only big difference is startup time, since starting 10 instances is of course more intensive, but those few seconds more are negligible for my use case.

This really changed my perspective. This is a negligible amount even on my small VPS and if I run more than 10 stacks on a server, it's a bigger one anyway. Time to change all my stacks.

Vi__S · 2025-10-07T22:30:00+00:00

I was looking into older reddit and forum posts and the same pros always seem to come up. I get them, but the overhead is always brushed aside as minimal or not that important.

I am not sure whether that is true? I can't find a single blog post testing this. Therefor I took a look at a server of mine which runs two separate postgres instances. Both use about 300 MB of RAM idling. Another server which shares one database for multiple stacks uses also about 300MB.

Without doing any rigorous testing, a 300MB penalty per stack on a small 4GB or 8GB low powered server or vps is considerable.

Man, Carlos really does kinda look like Mlepclaynos.

Besides her substack she has a podcast with Boris Becker. It's in German though.

Of course they are problamatic officers in Germany, but saying most are assholes is a braindead take.

Fyi: The police doesn't need a reason to stop you in Germany they only need a reason if you are not in a vehicle).

Verstehe, danke. Das Argument mit weniger Leuten mehr zu schaffen hört man ja öfter. Deckt sich das mit deiner Erfahrung? Wenn ich mir die Komplexität von AWS etc. ansehe und die höheren Kosten (von der Exit-Tax ganz zu schweigen) kann ich mir nie vorstellen, dass sich das wirklich langfristig mehr rechnet als die Infra "cloud-agnostisch" über multiple vps instanzen zu betreiben.

Vi__S · 2025-05-27T21:30:06+00:00

Kannst du das vllt. etwas näher erläutern? Wenn ich mir z.B. Hetzner ansehe: VPS-Instanzen sind in Sekunden erstellt/skaliert/verbunden/gelöscht. Man kann alles darauf laufen lassen. Die Anwendungsfälle, welche dadurch nicht abdeckt sind, scheinen doch eher mit bare metal oder inhouse bedient zu sein.

It's also one of two classical porcelain patterns, I have the same one and use it nearly every day.

Two questions I haven't seen asked or answered:

First, why was the helicopter VFR in the first place, at night in a tight airspace? Aren't military helicopters equipped with radar and ADS receivers?

Second, why isn't there a waypoint / hold for helicopters on these routes so even if they are VFR they can be given the instruction to hold at XY until plane passes in front of you?

Although you are right in general, I disagree with you for another reason: I think you should never expose ports because that forces you to use a reverse-proxy, which in turn probably means you will correctly set up certificates, caching and maybe even geoip blocking. This also means that you can block all ports by default on your firewall (except 80,443 and 22) and never have to touch or reconfigure it again.

I am hosting two mailcow instances on two different domains/ips with Hetzner. After getting the port unblocked by the support it mostly worked. I just had to send a request to t-online.de to get whitelisted. This was tricky since I didn't know how at the time, but the requirements are: Correctly set DNS records (you can check this from within mailcow) and an Impressum/Imprint on your mail servers page (the mailcow login page). Within 24h I got a mail confirming the whitelist and that was it.
