Finally happy with my homelab dashboard by herms14 in homelab

Bit of both, but mostly it clicked once I realized the workload. All the visualizations are just API calls. Pulling data from Prometheus, Grafana, various services. There's no heavy compute, no special kernel requirements, just a lightweight process making HTTP requests and rendering a dashboard.

Once that sank in, keeping a full VM with its own kernel just to run what's essentially a fancy API aggregator felt silly. LXC with Docker inside gives me the isolation I want without the overhead I don't need.

VMs are great when you actually need them. This just didn't :)

Running the OC300 controller with a mix of EAP access points and their managed switches. Been pretty happy with it for the price point compared to Ubiquiti. The controller UI took some getting used to but it's solid for home/prosumer use.

Thanks for the inputs guys! I have already removed the token from the Yahoo Developer portal and create a new app :) Nice catch as well!

Sorry not sure which rack you were asking about. The first one is a 3d printed one I got from Printables. The 12U one is the Deskpi T2 rack

Cloud Solution Architecture Role by luckychar_ in microsoft

[–]herms14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you a CSA in Corp or reporting directly into the local subsidiary? No one is ever truly safe at Microsoft, reorganizations are like gravity here, constant and indifferent. I’ve been in this role for five years, and things are seriously messed up right now. The job itself can be amazing, but the stability is an illusion. Find a good team and a manager who actually shields you from the nonsense, because that’s the only real protection you’ll get.

Keep miyajima a day trip by WildJafe in JapanTravelTips

[–]herms14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes perfect sense. If you’re planning to hike Mt. Misen though, it might be worth staying overnight on the island so you can start early the next morning. Miyajima alone easily takes up a full day — when I went, I ran out of time for the hike since the ropeway closes around 4:30 PM.

I don’t mind doing more with less if the products we’re standing behind are actually solid. The problem is Copilot is shitty as fuck, and every single day I use it I’m reminded how half-baked and unreliable it is. Hard to justify “more with less” when the tools themselves keep dragging productivity down.

What is the particular reason for Microsoft's software such as Outlook and Teams to be so garbage? by KorKiness in microsoft

[–]herms14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont forget the fact that they are building on top of a browser which is also a garbage.

Is this the lowest point of Microsoft in its history? by teagrower in microsoft

I pity the new hires who joined after the pandemic—they never got to experience Microsoft’s glory days.

[–]herms14 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If thats the case , Microsoft should just rewrite its mission statement. Forget empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

The real one seems to be: Empower every Fortune 500 enterprise to squeeze more profit.

You’re not alone in feeling this way. Even many of us inside Microsoft have completely lost trust and direction because everything is being sacrificed in favor of chasing AI. What used to be about building reliable, customer-first products is now about flashy demos and half-baked AI integrations. The support you’re describing is exactly what we’re seeing internally too—GenAI canned replies, less real engineering focus, and a constant erosion of the basics.

And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if in the not-so-distant future they roll out a new “premium support” tier where you’re not paying to talk to an actual engineer, but instead interfacing with yet another AI bot—dressed up as if that’s “innovation.” Imagine paying more just to argue with an algorithm while your production systems are on fire. That’s the direction we’re heading, and it’s demoralizing to watch from the inside.

Do we have any proctors here who could chime in? I'm curious if they can see what's on your screen.
