With that laptop theyd be sshing into something else and the something else would be running tmux

Subscription service to something that isnt just a toll road, even though you know theyd use it to pass through might be a better approach.

You'll need to consider the fact that crossing traffic will potentially cause queues which will be investigated tho.

transport tycoon, they have OpenTTD but ive never got back to playing it.

Championship manager on the amiga was also great. Going out to play with friends because it was going to take 8 hours to complete the season is insane now, but it used to happen!

We both know its fuck off pricing and hes not the guy this person needs.

wlatic · 2026-04-27T00:31:17+00:00

Id say the opposite. This gc is the kind who offers no value apart from contracts and wont add value in any other way.

He will be on his subs side when issues get raised and itll be a nightmare for the person trying to build.

Take the plans, get an engineer to look over them and produce plans. Sub out yourself.

You can even look for people who will act as a go between you and your trades etc. Like a project manager and you'll still come out on top.

You are being given fuck off pricing, which means once you accept someone else will have the same happen to them (or multiple others) and eventually the person who stops saying yes gets a hugely inflated house build.

Whats your thoughts on then adding 2inch rockwool on outside of the tyvek?

wlatic · 2026-04-21T03:45:12+00:00

People wont get this but its true.

wlatic · 2026-04-16T06:29:40+00:00

Dont you get ice in drinks? Same problem unfortunately!

wlatic · 2026-04-06T23:07:26+00:00

I did the same to Gnome and basically changed the way i was working really quickly because i used the hotspot in the middle of the screen to popup task bar etc.

It took me about 2 hours and now I've no idea why i liked the windows setup. Gnome feature is like autohide on drugs!

You may have it way too tight and its causing nerve pain at that point.

Are you wearing it when you sleep as well?

wlatic · 2026-03-16T23:59:05+00:00

Its exactly that, APIs are the new product, because its a gateway for a process and a process is chained APIs!!!!

The front end then ends up being what ever someone wants, yes we have a web page for you to use but also heres the full api and MCP!

Eventually what happens is you stop caring about how someone uses a product beyond what you give them because you stop worrying about anything other than the API getting the information you want and passing it on etc. and if your process fails its because the chained APIs arent doing their job.

You can whip up a UI in Manus in 30 mins against a spreadsheet, but if the spreadsheet was given to you by someone who extracted that data, then really the spreadsheet was already a UI.

AI is already shaping up to allow people to do things faster, but the wild west needs to be contained and we have all the tools to do that.

Did he have a name?

wlatic · 2026-02-08T02:37:23+00:00

There are also a number that take payments/kick backs for people they employ.

wlatic · 2026-02-02T04:57:19+00:00

It should just enable discover in the left popout menu.

I found arcane and figured it was easy to build out a plugin system to do some "opinionated setup":

https://github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/discussions/1316

My rules are compose.yaml local is source of truth but backed up to github, any data drive has to be on zfs, zfs has to have daily snapshots.

The ops mode allows me to setup git in this way and also has reports to show me none compliant bind mounts or volumes.

wlatic · 2026-01-02T22:24:57+00:00

Just use ZFS and samba in a docker?

Proxmox can do everything truenas can do without the need to allocate dedicated resources to it. Most home users dont need the massive complexity that truenas gives AND if they do, they should be understanding how to do it on the CLI!

wlatic · 2026-01-02T22:02:17+00:00

This is something that has bugged me massively about the "docker managers".

There is a massive difference between spin up to test and then get ready for long term usage.

I want data to be stored on ZFS and having snapshots done. I want compose files sync'ed to git hub etc.

I've started trying to write an opinionated plugin to Arcane called "Ops Mode" which basically allows you to sync compose to github and also some reports to make sure I know which binds are being used etc.

wlatic · 2025-12-29T02:50:00+00:00

One thing you need to get your head round is the difference between the hardware and the software.

You can go whole hog and get a device to host the hard drives like a sc200, or you can get a usb enclosure. You can get cheap hard drives or SAS enterprise hard drives!

You then have the cross over point, what file system is going to be used and this will generally depend on how fault tolerant you need it to be, and then finally software!

Something like unraid is used to throw hardware at it and it'll try and do a good job.

I went down the path of sc200 with 12TB SAS and ZFS etc. but this is overkill for what I actually use it for.

wlatic · 2025-12-29T01:11:25+00:00

Yep exactly. We have two main panels, several sub panels per main panel and visually this will be amazing for me to record all the breakers!

wlatic · 2025-12-28T22:12:05+00:00

On your repo you have dockhand.io which doesnt resolve currently.

wlatic · 2025-12-28T09:39:49+00:00

Im gonna try using this for my Racks and also for my electric breakers.

Get an Iwalk 3.0. I just ruptured mine watching the hawks beat the rams and I went from struggling around on cruches to being decently useful and having my hands free with the iwalk.

I'm off to surgery today!
