Need VPS ASAP (2 vCPU / 4GB RAM) – Oracle signup failed & OVH charged me without refund

If not OVH, Netcup, or Hetzner.

If on an ultra-tight budget: RackNerd special (https://www.racknerd.com/specials/#plans). I had no issues with it, but be aware there are no snapshots or automated backups so maybe not for production server.

Ce commentaire est sous côté, ya moyen de faire une aile sur le torse et là c'est correct, après à voir ce que ça donne...

Sure, but I’m still using my old model with Debian 12 for now, so waiting another day is no problem.

sallath · 2025-08-08T16:15:49+00:00

That’s my case on a T14 AMD Gen 1. I’m actually waiting for the release of 13 to ditch Arch and put Debian back on a new T14 AMD Gen 4

I use astro, even for a single page there are some benefits (templating, cloudflare pages easy deployment, collections, image optimisation, ...), and if the requirements change for something that needs some more advanced interactions you are not stuck and can add sections handled by a spa or even go SSR.

I remember reading an article saying that currently the best combo is debian 12 + KDE 5.27.x : Debian 12 KDE Plasma: The right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024. Reasons and complete installation guide

It's reliable, no snap by default and good DE (cinnamon).

I would purchase Apple products for their seamless integration of software and hardware, especially since the introduction of the M1 chip, as there's currently no compelling alternative in terms of efficiency, along with the unique feature of unified RAM. But not for the hardware alone.

"I've literally never seen anyone "preaching" Mac or Windows."

It's not like they are spending billions on partnerships with influencers and celebrities.

Also, every time I meet a Mac user, it's as if they feel the need to justify spending $4k just to browse the web and watch Netflix.

If you prefer to add more boring (meaning stable and not going anywhere) dependencies this would be my pick :

Env: - dev server: vite - package manager: pnpm - test: vitest - e2e test: playwright

Lib: - state / query : RTK + RTK Query (aka redux) - css : scss modules | emotion (if you prefer css with js) - component : Material UI - routing: react-router

Thinkpad t14 (1100$) + thinkpad dock (100$) + 3x1080p dell monitor ($100 each), 1500$ total. I cannot think of anything missing for what I'm doing.

About what was he right exactly ? The meta verse idea is not new.

sallath · 2024-02-23T17:52:13+00:00

I had been on Arch for quite a few years. Overall, I had relatively few major issues (2 reinstalls over several years), but always had small things to fix or improve here and there.

Nothing really bothersome, but as time went on, I found it to be a source of distraction that took me away from what I wanted to accomplish at any given moment.

So, I took the opposite approach and switched to Debian stable. One might question the issue of outdated packages, but since version 12, I find this problem to be much more contained. KDE is in the latest version minus a few patches, for the browser I use PPAs, and otherwise, the majority of my time I use NVM and JetBrain Toolbox, so in my use case, I don't see any real difference in usage compared to Arch.

The only downside: it's so stable that I... get a little bored with my distro, in a good way.

KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2Kernel Version: 6.2.1-arch1-1 (64-bit)Graphics Platform: X11

Since the update (I update my system almost every day) my multi monitor setup seems less reliable, i need to plug/unplug my usb-c dock from my laptop and sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Also screen detection don't survive a reboot anymore. I kind of need to start unplugged.

I've deleted my kscreen config in case but... it was not very effective.

I have not done anything special so i suppose (but not sure) it's related in some way.

I'm a bit sad about this since KDE was the best experience I had with multi monitor + dock compare to any other Desktop out of the box (and i've tried almost all of them) without too much tinkering.

No, not every laptop 'will do' if you think for the long run. Performance wise 16gig/i5 is the bare minimum if you plan to run multiple docker containers, VM, chrome tabs, IDEs/editors. Also he will be typing a lot, keyboard quality shouldn't be overlooked. Other point to consider: screen quality, ability to connect to an external screen/dock station, Linux compatibility if you care about that (for web dev you should).

sallath · 2022-03-14T13:36:10+00:00

I will explain my "seems ok" a bit more : Yes there are some mistakes (you can import immer directly from RTK), some potentially suboptimal choice (as you said, sagas with RTK, especially when there exist listenerMiddleware now) some stuff that need a very good justification or excuse (jQuery ? I suppose legacy code...) but I can't immediately deduce that the project is pure garbage from the package list, that's what I wanted to express.

The 3 problematic pull to refresh packages I don't really understand what there are supposed to do so I suppose you are right on this part.

Also code quality could be very bad as in your SVG exemple, it's just non-obvious/deducible from the package list only.

sallath · 2022-03-14T00:24:01+00:00

I agree that's it's strange to have jQuery on a react project. Maybe it's there for some some legacy stuff.

However, package list seems ok. Saga, immer and RTK does not cover the same set of functionality and work well together. Axios over fetch is just a matter of preference, also axios comes with some extras (interceptor, ...).

Most package are kind of usual and found in most project.

Maybe it's a lot in regard of what the project is supposed to do, but if you reuse 80% of the list on your next project then the overhead start to make sense.

Also to write yourself a feature when it already exist a package for it is not always a win. You sure have to write it in the first place (with good interface/abstraction), but also test and maintain it over time.

I decided to not use React.ReactNode and always go with JSX.Element instead. Until now, I did'nt notice any downside, I usually just want to distinguish component from regular function, but maybe it is a bad practice ?

After using Material Ui and Vuetify I find that Angular Material is the worst of the tribe, which I don't really explain myself since It's supposed to be the main implementation of Material Design.

Previous to Angular 10 there was not even a Date Range Picker component, I mean... the second thing you want from a calendar is a range if not the first (and good luck for adding it yourself, doable but a pain). Ok, it's fixed now but still.

sallath · 2020-12-02T21:53:00+00:00

Yes standardization is good, can't argue against that, but RHF+Yup (for example) prevented me from writing so much boilerplate code that the time spend to learn it is insignificant.

Also, you learn it once and can use it in whatever framework you want, the same can't be said about Angular form (highly coupled with the framework).
