I was considering MinIO, then evaluated Garage, then decided it wasn’t with the trouble since a lot of the things I host don’t even natively support object storage. I do use LFS with Forgejo and it would’ve made sense there, and maybe Jellyfin supporting object storage would be a tipping point.
I dual boot Windows for Cubase and Kontakt. Never could get Cubase working well on Linux and I probably could switch to Reaper and make Kontakt work with yabridge, but I have been using Cubase for over 20 years and haven’t had the inclination to switch just yet.
I run Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS with k3s. I update my container versions every few months, though not everything I’m running all at once. I update the actual system packages via apt maybe once a year and end up nuking and re-installing everything every couple years on average. I deliberately block all inbound WAN traffic in my firewall and use k8s network policies to aggressively limit egress WAN connections because I’m aware that I’m bad about keeping things up to date.
One major problem I have with Copilot is it can’t seem to RTFM when building against an API, SDK, etc. Instead, it just makes shit up. If I have to go through line by line and fix everything, I might as well do it myself in the first place.

Quite true, and to that point, here’s the fork for the missing open source admin UI: https://github.com/OpenMaxIO/openmaxio-object-browser
MinIO is really gutting the open source version. I also found it confusing that all of their docs are for AIStor, which I guess is the same product that was rebranded. I suppose open source is not immune from enshittification.
I use Copilot with mostly Claude Sonnet 4.5. Don’t use the autocomplete because it’s useless and annoying. I mostly chat with it, give it specific instructions for how to implement small changes, carefully review its code, make it fix anything I don’t like, then have it write test scripts with curl calling APIs and other methods to exercise the system in a staging environment and output data so I can manually verify it and make sure all of its changes are working as expected in case I overlooked something in the automated tests.
As far as environmental impact, training is where most of the impact occurs, and inference, RAG, querying vector databases, etc. is fairly minimal AFAIK.
I have OpenWRT on my router running a VPN that my servers and various other devices use. I’d rather do that than have to setup a ”kill switch” with iptables that might accidentally conflict with IPAM for k3s.

It’s a SoC and is certainly more power efficient, can fit into smaller form factors, etc. It’s definitely progress in the right direction, but is still to expensive to be a practical alternative to higher-end GPUs. What am I missing?
According to this Blender benchmark, a M3 Ultra with 80 cores is similar to a 4070 Ti. Too bad a machine with a M3 Ultra with 80 cores will cost several grand while a 4070 Ti can be had for a grand. I appreciate that a SoC can use RAM instead of the scam that is VRAM, but Apple needs to do something about that price, or otherwise, might as well get a 5090.
I just set a static IP in Windows, then block that IP from the internet in my OpenWRT firewall.
Correct, nothing to hide because nobody gets their games from the high seas.
Setting up full-disk encryption on a Steam Deck with an on-screen keyboard should definitely be an option during SteamOS installation, but it’s a pain as it stands. It’s my only Linux device not using LUKS.
Seems a lot of distros put it under an advanced section in the installer, but I think the “advanced” option should be not enabling full-disk encryption, meaning you know what you’re doing and have assessed the risk.
PopOS used to be my distro of choice as a de-crapified Ubuntu alternative until I realized I like the Cinnamon DE and Mint a lot better. Still exciting to finally see a 24.04 release!
