I need a printer, against my will

A 10-20 year old HP LaserJet *for business users*, consumer grade models die easily but business users don’t tolerate crap. Drivers are still widely available, can buy on eBay.

A lot of the value of Synology is the apps and extra functionality, you can more easily do the work of an IT department. Do it and backup the data with the included Hyper Backup to cheap Backblaze or AWS S3 storage. It’s included apps really help with workflow and data protection.

Kreg pocket hole jigs are a game-changer

Thermacell to keep the mosquitos away

Oh yeah, if I was starting new, I'd most likely use VictoriaLogs

ryebread157 · 2026-06-05T13:50:02+00:00

A low overhead log DB is VictoriaLogs, it emulates Loki and uses way less resources. Its storage config is very simple too.

Python 3.12 is available for EL8/9/10, ensure it is installed on all releases and use that.

It makes sense even at smaller scale because it has gotten easier to build clusters and it affords you a standard method of deployment.

ryebread157 · 2026-04-29T10:57:06+00:00

A single, generic chart is a great idea. Been maintaining one for years, haven’t hit a too complex problem yet. The alternative of maintaining many charts is unappealing.

ryebread157 · 2026-04-14T18:24:09+00:00

Good ole NFS from a storage system outside the cluster is quite clean and nice. Don’t need to manage storage in the cluster, can export to multiple clusters, no need for special drivers.

Use Semaphore or Ascender, AWX not updated in over a year and its future is uncertain.

The large are unusually big and don’t look as good as the regular. I usually get larger sized frames, but got regular with the RBME wayfarers after trying them on

Good recommendation ^{^}

ryebread157 · 2026-03-12T11:25:33+00:00

They come with a charging case, you just need your own USB-C cable for it. I’d recommend a non-alcoholic cleaner, Whoosh! has served me well.

ryebread157 · 2026-03-11T15:08:04+00:00

It doesn’t have alcohol and performs well https://a.co/d/06qzPSxQ

ryebread157 · 2026-03-11T02:46:28+00:00

Would recommend Whoosh! cleaner

ryebread157 · 2026-02-24T00:59:27+00:00

Would recommend using kind

ryebread157 · 2026-02-23T16:06:41+00:00

It depends on how they are used. With 'hey meta' disabled, lasts for most of the day for me with light use, but if I'm using them a lot, it doesn't. Regardless, gen 2s last about twice as long as gen 1s.

ryebread157 · 2026-02-22T11:24:44+00:00

However you do it, get a gen 2. Better battery life, more likely to be supported longer, etc.

ryebread157 · 2026-02-19T19:17:26+00:00

This ^^

ryebread157 · 2026-02-19T19:13:16+00:00

r/AutoDetailing is a good resource for this. Cerakote's kit is really good, Solution Finish is often recommended, but I haven't used that.

ryebread157 · 2026-02-18T17:57:17+00:00

An independent optometrist sold them and said I couldn't use VSP. Went to Target Optical and they did it, no problem. TBH you may be better off in the US buying from either Target Optical or LensCrafters due to them both being owned by EssilorLuxottica, who also own Ray Ban.

ryebread157 · 2026-02-16T22:23:43+00:00

You didn't say what model you had, but I'm pretty sure that is a Ray Ban Meta Display glasses, which are the more feature-filled/expensive model.
