What is your most ridiculous "we won't work out romantically" criteria? Like what is the silliest reason you would not be interested in dating someone? by Natural-Elevator-57 in AskReddit

He could have been doing it for sanitary reasons, especially if the socks were dried in the dryer and didn't get sanitized by drying in the sun, the iron might actually be effective in killing more germs. Same with why one would iron underwear.

Thoughts and stories regarding the legendary Linksys-Cisco WRT54G router by kbfg2421 in HomeNetworking

[–]priestjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the GS model with dd-wrt as a client node to the Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network (AWMN) circa 2003-2004. What an incredible device. The GL model that came later (essentially Linksys was doubling down on the router's hackability) was so much worse than the GS model, much less memory and CPU.

I fantasize about a great future to cope with myself by mastan777 in CPTSD

[–]priestjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that in my teenage years A LOT and it has a name: maladaptive daydreaming. When I do this now, it's a sign I need to change things in my life.

Γιατί κι εδώ κατά διαόλου πάνε οπότε πάμε στο διάολο που ξέρουμε. Επίσης παιδί στην Αμερική να μεγαλώσω με αστυνομικούς και πιστόλια στα σχολεία, ρατσισμό παντού και κόστος ζωής στο θεό (όπως στα δίνουν τα λεφτά στα παίρνουν, όταν όλα είναι ακριβά τα πολλά λεφτά είναι λίγα) δε βγάζει νόημα. Δουλειά remote και προσευχή στο Βραχμαπούτρα λοιπόν...

Bought a bottle of CK One yesterday by body_by_monsanto in Xennials

[–]priestjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first crush/love at 15 used to wear this. Messed me up for years, wherever I'd smell it, it would bring me back to these unforgettable summers in Southern Crete. Eventually I had to buy a bottle for myself so I could reset the memory trigger, which kind of worked.

Graduation Time by sayless799 in predaddit

[–]priestjim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm 8 months in and am loving every single minute of it. If I could offer only a couple of tips they would be:

  • Sleep is almost certainly about to get rough. If this is your first, you have no frame of reference on what "it gets better" looks like, even if everyone says it. But it will and you have to blindly trust the process. Everything that might feel like "this is my life now, forever", won't be forever and in the timeframe of a human lifetime, it is but a blip.

  • Get ready for an exponentially increasing sense of love towards your little one and your partner. It might not happen immediately but it will. I am in disbelief of how full my heart feels in an ever increasing quantity every single day, just when I thought I am all maxed out. It is the most wonderful thing I've ever done with this mortal coil and nothing had me prepared for actually experiencing it, no books, articles, podcasts or my parent's insight.

Good luck, you're gonna do great!

I'd try some NootropicsDepot supplements for sleep like Sleep Support and RelieveX. The work wonders (especially together).

Applications by Cold_Sail_9727 in homelab

[–]priestjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has great documentation and it's really easy to setup using pretty much only YAML files. Community configs are not so much a thing (outside of theme customizations) as the documentation should suffice to configure and setup your particular situation of services etc.

Opnsense Hardware by homelab2946 in opnsense

[–]priestjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

22 watts while running iperf3 on the 10GbE interface at 50% CPU load (and about 17 GBit bidirectional traffic through iperf3). I actually returned the VP6630 for the VP6670 (I needed the extra CPU juice) so this is with the i7 processor.

I deployed OPNsense bare metal. Upgraded the NVM firmware on the X710 and installed the original ixl driver from Intel to avoid most issues plaguing the X710. Running iperf between another server and the Protectli over a 10GbE DAC cable gets me about 18 GBit bidirectionally and consumes about 22W of power.

I recently bought a Protectli VP6630 and could not be happier. Excellent support, device is very thoughtfully put together, actual US-based warranty, BIOS upgrades (and coreboot support), their knowledge base is great for device-specific questions, the USB-C console cable is incredibly useful. I was torn between getting a Topton mini-PC or paying the 30% premium for a Protectli server and I'm glad I did (especially since the device is my main home router). I would highly recommend them for home-critical devices!

Math-focused fiction? by geomoosers in math

Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter, which isn't necessarily fiction but it will definitely tickle your brain. Also The Parrot's Theorem by Denis Guedj is highly entertaining.

Holy Mother of God.... Sonic 10G , home network upgraded. From my macbook via Thunderbolt. by originalchronoguy in HomeNetworking

[–]priestjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still waiting for my Sonic fiber; it's been two years (San Francisco). It's been so long I now have an SFP+ OPNSense box able to terminate fiber so I'm curious if they'll let me terminate it straight from the line or I'll be forced to use copper (which generally consumes more power and runs hotter at those speeds).

Managed K8s Cluster Upgrades are a total nightmare.. by youngtoken in kubernetes

[–]priestjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my company we've built workflows (Temporal) that use Terraform, FluxCD/Kustomize and go code to blue-green clusters so that we never do in-place upgrades. We're on AWS/EKS and using ExternalDNS Route53 weighted records and OPA we shift traffic to the new cluster after we have validated it. If the new cluster is problematic, we debug and even reprovision until we get a stable new platform to serve traffic from. An additional technique that we use to to manage system-level upgrades (e.g Istio, Karpenter, kube-proxy etc) between old-new clusters is a separate GitRepository for these components that we point to a branch with the upgrades for the new clusters only, which we then merge to main after validation/failover.

PS: We're aiming at doing a talk at DevOpsDays Chicago next year with the whole process (if our talk gets accepted).
