  • O! Thank you for this picture.

    I was in somebody’s Y (I think? I don’t know teslas) a few weeks ago in the front seat and I pulled the mechanical door release across multiple different stops around town before he told me I was supposed to push the electronic “open door” button.

    That spurred me to think “wait, if I pulled the mech release by default and it’s pretty obvious/intuitive, what’s all the hubbub about getting trapped in a car because the manual door releases are so difficult?”

    I didn’t realize it was about the rear door handles rather than the front until right now. Granted, the front manual door handle is fairly different than “most” cars but I still found it pretty obvious… more obvious than the need to push a stupid little button to open a door.


  • You’re correct.

    The only time I can think of that this approach wouldn’t work is if the quadlet config file specified a tag/version on the image setting besides latest. That is, if the quadlet file specified something like Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:a_old_version. I usually stick with latest on mine.

    EG: Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest





  • I’ve been dreading the new computer as well. I built the original incarnation of my current one in … holy shit, late 2013. I was thinking 2016 but I just looked up the order and it was 2013. I did it pretty damn “top of the line” because I wanted it to last ages. I have occasionally upgraded or replaced drives, GPU, RAM, power supply, but I’m still on the original board+CPU.

    It’s still great… running Linux and occasionally gaming.


  • That’s mostly correct. If we want to be super technical, I’m not “logging in” to my router, just using it as a Tailscale network bridge to gain LAN access so I can SSH from my phone to my server. But, in general, yeah.

    I currently don’t allow any direct access to my server from the internet. The only way to access it is Tailscale. I have Tailscale installed on both my desktop (always on) and my router (also, always on). The reason I installed it on the router is because my desktop is also full disk encrypted. So, if there’s a power outage then both the server and desktop will reboot and both will be waiting for LUKS unlock, rendering my desktop useless as a Tailscale jump point.

    Since the router boots automatically then it will always start back up and allow Tailscale access after an outage and therefore I can use it to access my LAN and SSH to the server to enter the password.

    Basically the same setup you’ve got with the RPi - having a node that comes online automatically after a power outage, automatically starts Tailscale, and allows LAN access. You use an RPi, I use my router. (I briefly did the exact same thing as you, with an RPi, until I found I could install it on the router : )


  • I used Mint for about a decade. When I upgraded the drives on my desktop RAID from 2TB to 14TB the newest version only recognized 999GB. After some troubleshooting I begrudgingly tried Ubuntu, same thing. I figured Debian would be the same since that’s Grandma but I tried anyway. It worked perfect so I’ve been on Debian for a few years now and haven’t noticed any big differences so here I’ll stay.

    Love me some Debian










  • The one I work at went “all in” about a month ago. I started noticing a dramatic increase in garbage/nonsensical code at the end of last week. I didn’t make the connection between the two until Tuesday.

    I’ve got a manager that usually listens and they asked me to try it and take notes because they know I’ll tell them the truth. … I’ve got a lot of examples prepped for our next meeting.

    The hard part is definitively blaming LLMs because I don’t have time to track down every single commit and analyze it for LLM usage but there’s 100% a correlation.
