Linux Server OSes?
  • We're primarily a CentOS (6/7, kill me) and Rocky 8+ shop at work, with Debian handling our webservers. My Boss We like Rocky so much, it's even our base image for all of our containers (ugh).

    My experience so far is that RHEL (and derivatives) are pretty solid, and not a bad choice. Though, I'd generally want to avoid the complexity that is SELinux in selfhost endeavors.

  • Selfhosted messenger/community software like discord
  • We ran RocketChat at work for a few years before migrating to Teams.

    RC could be good, but maintaining it long-term was an enormous pain. Maybe it's better now, certainly if you're using docker... But a manual install was always a laborious task on upkeep for us. Also worth making sure you don't need commercial features, as they've removed free features in the past to drive sales...

  • How to regex
    How to regex
  • I don't know all of the regex rules (look ahead/behind, etc); but it's honestly not that bad. If you can learn the syntax for a programming language, you can learn the basics of regex..

  • Anyone else addicted to Balatro right now?
  • I played the 2-3 demos before release, and have been continuing that trend since launch. "Nearly" at 100% achievements, though the remaining 3 are the big ones, so dunno how long it will take.

    I have found that I enjoy the game more on low stakes (white/red), as the higher stakes are really just more annoying/RNG to me than anything.

    Still, Stuntman will get me through.

  • Best PS2 games?
  • Bit of a boring answer, but Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 has stolen many hours off of my life.

    Another honorable mention would be the rhythm game "Frequency".

    A third, which isn't a game, is eJay Club World; though that's more of a DAW than anything.

  • MySQL moment
  • I'm the sysadmin (and transitioning to DevOps) at work, but the DBs are 100% in control of our two devs (one of which being the head of IT).

    Apparently we're going to hire a third Dev, who will moonlight as our DBA -- oh, and for 30K/yr.

    I'm sure this will go well.

  • virtualizing PFSense. What else works besides ESXi for virtual networking?
  • We've been running KVM on CentOS/Rocky hosts for our VM platforms; seems to work fine for our needs.

    I'm not sure how ESXi would differ as I've never used it, but may be an option if you want to roll your own vs proxmox.

  • Big Galaxy S24 leak reveals Samsung's strategy against Google's Pixel phone
  • I assume this has changed with the modern releases then? My S10 had a ton of non-removable apps, primarily those from Samsung.

    There's really only a couple of things I missed from the S10 on my P7:

    • The edge panel (ended up using Panels
    • A tile to toggle ringer/vibrate/silent in the notification shade
      • I've gotten used to it now, but still prefer the way it's handled in OneUI
