@icedquinn Why use plex at all? NFS + your favorite Vidya player is the way to go! 😁

@matrix Maybe a bunch of hashing magic based on the filename and username or something? It's in the source code somewhere.

@matrix I had my computer infected once with malware when I tried to install SA via some ISO and had to reinstall. I somehow am hesitant to install a pirated copy of SA, even now. 😅

@shebang @matrix I am going to be old and stubborn and do a hard pass on VR for the foreseeable future. 😅

@matrix I bought all the unmastered from steam before the remastered releases. I hope they won't update these products.

So, how is this going? 🙂

@matrix Based!

@shebang And you become so efficient at it, it's amazing. My current laptop has contents in the Downloads/ folder that is originally from a laptop I had 3 laptops and 10ish years ago migrated along multiple installs if different flavours of operating systems. It's glorious!

@SirHendrick This image makes an interesting point. Although I think heating or cooling a small cabin doesn't drain the life out of a battery as fast as it does driving for 3 hours.

A static vehicle doesn't consume much energy, it's mostly acceleration that pricey, maintaining speed is cheap compared to that. So slow moving traffic and constantly moving and breaking is what is going to fuck it over.

@shebang I see what you did there! 😅

The issue is the pricing and the network traffic that will wreck his wallet. Compared to GCE and AWS its cheaper, but not by much. As far as I can tell B2 is the cheapest in terms of storage and transfer.

@matrix
Dumping it in some online storage/cloud provider might work, but it will fuck you over on the network traffic bill.

https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-pricing.html This is cheap. It will set you back $90 in transfer costs, but with storage for a couple of days it may be cheaper than buying a 9TB harddisk.

@matrix
It depends, what do you need it for?

@icedquinn
I've worked with SaltStack in 2015 and onward because at the time with salt-cloud it was the only free provisioning and configuration management option out there. If I wanted to provision stuff in AWS I had to use Enterprise version of Puppet, Chef and Ansible Tower. Salt with Salt-Cloud was the only option that provided all the things I needed out of the box.

The thing that bugged me about SaltStack was that every upgrade was a chore. A lot went well, but other parts required on-machine intervention to fix something. It was annoying AF.

I gave up when VMWare bought them for some reason back in 2020, but by that time Terraform was the industry standard.

I'll take a look at Pulumi. By the sounds of it its going to be perfect to provision my NixOS boxes. ;-)

@tangleofsnakes
The usual TRA vs GC trash.

@icedquinn At this rate Terraform can provision nearly everything. Not even kidding here. Even stuff like DataDog and PagerDuty gets provisioned.

I need to learn some more k8s stuff for work, but I am looking at Nomad because everybody is using k8s. ;-)

@LukeAlmighty The penguin is so cute! =)

And gone is FaceBook.

@matrix Scrub.. 6 foot 6 is where the action is at! =)
