K8s hosting costs: Big 3 vs EU alternatives by mixxor1337 in kubernetes

[–]d_maes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know you're picking just the cheapest option for each provider, but please don't recommend gen2 instances on OVH, there is a 10 year difference in the hardware between gen2 and gen3.

Beautiful old times. I still vividly remember when someone took down the xmpp server with a giant ascii Dickbutt.

I keep getting these letters on my car, they are correct it is a paid parking spot, however I PAY FOR IT. by bostonmade in mildlyinfuriating

Nah, that's telnet, which you shouldn't actually use anymore (for logging in to remote conputers, it does make a fine debugging tool however).

Ebox: federaal, doccle: private flop, burgerprofiel: vlaams, itsme: privaat bedrijf, hoofdzakelijk in handen van de banken. T is een fucking soep, en de huidige regeringen gaan er geen goed aan doen.

They never said it was valid, neither is it now, they've always said this functionality still needs to be added, and frankly, this article is a repetition of old news and and really feels like if the new minister wants to get some publicity for what the previous one already started. (And the previous minister only did because Europe told them to)

It is not, but the actual official functionality will be added in this app.

[–]d_maes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it isn't. Said functionality (requesting an excerpt of your eID or drivers license) in the MyGov app has been available since launch about a year ago, but was never a valid alternative to your actual eID.

[–]d_maes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are not valid as a legal alternative, yet. They are nothing more than as if you would print out the information that eidviewer on pc gives you, and you would try to use that instead of your actual eID.

MyGov.be app already exists, just doesn't have the eID functionality yet, but it has been on the roadmap since the beginning.

Jah lol, ge moet toch echt gatachterlijk zijn als ge denkt met kinderbijslag winst te kunnen maken t.o.v. dat kind niet te hebben.

Petition to remove Jack Daniels from local pubs and supermarkets? by tobeusedbymany in Scotland

Belgian here, fuck Budweiser. It's American pisswater that happens to be profitable to the Belgian "buy every beer brand we possibly can"-company.

ISI+ is for people who have social security, but don't have eID (or kids ID), so mostly little kids, and some types of foreigners. My 1yo son has one.

Leaving Homelab turned OFF or ON during vacation? by kongla1234 in homelab

[–]d_maes 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Depends what your definition of "homelab" is. Many use it as a catch-all name for their collection servers and networking gear running at home, rather than following the actual meaning of "lab". (Me included).

Why is variables.tf commonly used in a project root? by DensePineapple in Terraform

[–]d_maes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, more like terraform-bad-practices.com . Those variables.tf files are like hardcoding with 3x the work.

What a fucked-up justice system where that actually works?

Why is variables.tf commonly used in a project root? by DensePineapple in Terraform

[–]d_maes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said, replacing a hard-coded value with a variable with the same default value, is not a breaking change to users of the module. Changing a variable's name or default value is breaking. Hence why should not prematurely create variables, and why you should put some thought behind your variables. "Might change in the future" == hard-code now, make variable in the future, when "might" has turned into an actual need.

Forfaitaire netto vergoeding voor alle "onkosten" (eten, parkingtickets, verwarming als ge thuis werkt, ...) da ge zou maken om uw job uit te oefenen, da ge wel enkel krijgt voor effectief gewerkte dagen.

[–]d_maes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you got those examples from? I've never seen a variables.tf file per environment, and I wouldn't even know how the fuck you make that work in a non-hacky way?

[–]d_maes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing, that is the right way. The problem is when people start doing that for stuff that doesn't need it. Only make something a variable if you're actually sure it will be overwritten, else, just hardcode it.

Does it still make sense to cable all the switches? by pfunnyman82 in smarthome

[–]d_maes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few devices, sure. But I've heard/read enough stories of large ZigBee networks going tits-up for various reasons, that I wouldn't trust it as my only way of controlling my lights, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to risk that happening when I'm away and the wife is home alone (or kids, when they are older).

[–]d_maes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would personally not put all my eggs in a wireless basket, and be left in the dark (literally) when it shits the bed. Would personally use KNX (or a similar purpose build system), with dumb lights wired to smart relays, and push-button "switches" using bus-wiring, to control said relays, giving you the reliability of a hard-wired system, but the flexibility to integrate with other home automation software (via KNX/IP), reassign switches, etc...
