  • I upgrade as soon as new versions come out, I like living on the edge :) if something goes wrong, there are backups.

    As for musl, I haven’t mentioned it since OP wants to run containers - and in that case, musl doesn’t matter. And for running programs natively, many are available as packages (with any musl incompatibilities already resolved). But yeah, if you venture outside these limits, you can definitely run into issues with musl.


  • Everybody is so quick to suggest Debian (and it’s a fine choice), but Alpine is great for such things, as well. It’s blazing fast, frequently updated, has most packages you could ever want in a server environment (not that it matters if you’re planning on using containers). I’ve been using Alpine for years as my docker host, and not once have I thought “man, I wish it was debian instead”.





  • Huh, so basically, if somebody gives you an Iron Dome installation, and then I start shooting rockets at you, you are going to shrug it off? You are a hypocrite, debating about stuff you clearly know very little about (from reading biased news sources, no doubt).

    Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory and started shooting down unarmed civilians. You can be as peace-loving as you want (I, too, think Israel could’ve done more to progress peace with Palestinians), but to sum it up as (Hammas isn’t blameless, but Israel is responsible because it has more firepower is idiotic at best.

    What’s happening right now is murder of innocent people, clear as day. If you want to seek excuses for the perpetrators, something is really wrong with you.


  • I have a Weber grill. It’s about 8 years old. I realized there are some issues with the model (it’s a Q) shortly after buying it - mainly, the heat is not consistent all around, so you have to know where to put each piece of meat. And the heat output overall is lower than I would like. But it just won’t die. It just works, and works, and works, without any issues whatsoever. I don’t bother covering it up in the winter, and it doesn’t rust. I’m stuck with it’s downsides forever.








  • A custom made Google Sheet to track everything - maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel ups. I’d like to move to an app that supports all of the above, but getting everything into an importable format was messy (tried it with Fuelio), and I gave up after a while. The fact that I’m also writing down parts purchased prior to installation does not make this easier.

    My plan is to try and convert it all into plaintext accounting format (probably Beancont with a tailor-made plugin), but so far I’ve been mostly kicking that ball down the street.



  • Your screenshot does not really show anything other than the fact that Ally attempts a connection to Facebook (it’s not even clear how it was blocked). You can see the amount of people telling you to unblock NTP, which you stated isn’t blocked - that’s a clear sign that you haven’t presented you data in an easy to review format.

    Why not show what exactly is blocked by the firewall, how the rules are configured, and disabling which rule exactly gets the app to work? E.g., if you block Facebook by redirecting to your own HTTP server that responds, the app may decide to bork because of a failed certificate validation - resolve the Facebook domain as NXDOMAIN in your DNS, and see if that helps.

    The fact that they use Facebook APIs is infuriating, regardless.
