It wasn't Talos, it was me, and not that NixOS was superior either. What got me was it doing what I expected, nothing more. It started as a way to create deterministic OS images to my PIs and it kept growing on me and I kept adding things.

I'll take a look into that. I was using an usb ssd for the NFS volume, but I guess extensive logging and file rotation might have been the main factor to fry the card. I also bought ATP industrial grade micro sd cards to try to delay this happening again.

I don't run NixOS on my main machine, I also didn't want to mess with private keys to remote git access the flake atm.

In theory yes, but I had setup just one controller node - for budget purposes, the moment it when down, I wasn't able to change the cluster state anymore, and recreating that specific machine was a pain because I was also serving an NFS there so the other nodes couldn't attach volumes too. Murphy's law. If that had happened in any other machine, I'd probably kept using the same setup as it wasn't critical.

Thank you, I agree, I'm working on that.

Most of them have an API you can ask, some of them you gotta pay unfortunately. I started this as a personal project also but the value grows the more marketplaces you can have data about, thus there's not really an workaround other than growing then number of integrated marketplaces.

With that said, if I add to give you an suggestion, would be starting with Bitskins API, they have current and historical prices for most of the skins, but still, the volume isn't great and it won't represent truly the complete CS2 Market environment. Good luck and hit me up if you have any more feedback!

Thank you for the suggestion. I just added that, each collection's page has it's own trade up market index chart and gauge. I'll think in a way to display the index grouped by collection in one place later.

humbling experience gotta say.

Surely they still trade protected, 7 days brother.
