I migrated two years ago from tt-rss to freshrss and have never looked back. It just works!

My servers and NAS were created long before Docker was a thing, and as I am running them on a rolling release distribution there never was a reason to change anything. It works perfectly fine the way it is, and it will most likely run perfectly fine the next 10+ years too.

Well I am planning, when I find the time to research a good successor, to replace my aging HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 that I use as Homeserver/NAS. Maybe I will then setup everything clean and migrate the services to docker/podman/whatever is fancy then. But most likely I will only transfer all the disks and keep the old system running on newer hardware. Life is short…

Depends… The technician inside me asks: How big and heavy is the theoretical cow and can I get a huge spindle with a powerful motor?

I first read it as milking machine…

Zola really is great, I have started to work with it and it is so much easier to grasp and to get results with. Thanks a lot for pointing me to Zola!

I will look into that too, thank you for the suggestion

A new homepage for the business of my wife.

I plan to use Hugo for it, I just wish the documentation would be better.

For the homepage I need a few additional “non-blog” pages and from the documentation I am not sure how to do that the best way.

But to be honest, I have not really looked deeper into that, so it is very possible that I just missed something.

I prefer to do both, a validation check to see if it has the general form of data I expect then parse what got successfully validated.

I have a Bambu P1S with an AMS after years of using a Ender 3 that was modified to high heavens both on hardware and on firmware level. It is a perfectly fine product and the AMS makes filament changes so much easier, it is a convenience that I personally love. My P1S is running in LAN mode and it works perfectly fine in combination with OrcaSlicer on my Linux machine. No data is send to the Bambu Cloud, everything is local.

Would I like the possibility to have a custom firmware on it? Sure, I always like options. But to be honest: My P1S runs better, smother, faster then my Ender 3 with his many mods and custom firmware ever did.

Is Bambu on my list of manufacturers for another printer purchase? Yes, but near the end after their anti consumer behavior lately.

I only bind applications to ports on the Internet facing network interfaces that need to be reachable from outside, and have all other ports closed because nothing is listening on them. A firewall in this case would bring me no further protection from external threats, because all those ports have to be open in the firewall too.

But Linux comes with a firewall build in, so I use it even if it is not strictly needed with my strict port management regime for my services. And a firewall has the added benefit to limit outgoing network traffic to only allowed ports/applications.

Solar System objects for my local network and names of extra solar objects for my offside servers. With all the moons and named trans neptunian objects in the solar system I so far had no issues finding a hostname candidate.

Configuration is a type of stored data.

Configuration is data that is read and parsed on program startup.

But limiting it to configuration storage only makes it only more absurd to implement turning completeness into the language.

Yaml is a data storage format, why should it have any kind of programmability or even turning completeness?

Those things should be done in the program that uses the data not inside of the data itself.

Sounds like you want savapage https://www.savapage.org/

It by default runs on its own port but that is easy fixable with a reverse proxy.

Oh many years ago in school I created something like that for an arts/creative writing project once, a calendar with 12, 30 day month based on sailor moon. Having it based on a magical girl manga gave me the freedom to declare the rest of the days to “days of evil” Was a fun project because I created a whole religion around it. 😁

That sounds interesting, would most likely not be very popular with lots of people and a pain in the butt to implement but interesting.

I never moved the goalposts, all I always said was that a forced and clunky date format like YYYY-MM-DD will never find broad use or acceptance in the major population of the world. It is not made for easy day to day use.

If it sounded like I moved goalposts, that maybe due to english as a second language. Sorry for that.

But yes, I think we both have made our positions and statements clear, and there is not really a common ground for us. Not because one of us would be right or wrong but because we are not talking about the topic on the same level of abstraction. I talk about it from a social, very down to the ground perspective and you are at least 2 levels of abstraction above that. Nothing wrong with that but we just don’t see the same picture.

And yes using YYYY-MM-DD would be great, I don’t say anything against that on a general level, I just don’t ever see any chance for it used commonly.

So thank you for the great discussion and have a nice day.

Entire countries, like China, Japan, Korea, etc., use YYYY-MM-DD as their date standard already.

And every person in those countries uses YYYY-MM-DD always in their day to day communication? I really doubt that. I am sure even in those countries most people will still use short forms in different formats.

Ok, then I am sure we will all be using that very soon, because abstract mathematic definitions always map perfectly onto real world usage and needs.

It is not that I don’t follow the mathematic definition of significance, it is just invalid for the view and scope of the argument that I make.

YYYY-MM-DD is great for official documents but not for common use. People will always trade precision for ease of use, and that will never change. And in most cases the year is not relevant at all so people will omit it. Other big issue: People tend to write like they talk and (as far as I know) nobody says the year first. That’s exactly why we have DD-MM and MM-DD

YYYY-MM-DD will only work in enforced environments like official documents or workspaces, because everywhere else people will use shortcuts. And even the best mathematic definition of the world will not change that.

Except that DDMMYY has the huge ambiguity issue of people potentially interpreting it as MMDDYY.

Yes and YYYY-MM-DD can potentially be interpreted as YYYY-DD-MM. So that is an zero argument.

I never said that the date format should never used, just that significants is a arbitrary value, what significant means depends on the context. If YYYY-MM-DD would be so great in everyday use then more or even most people would use it, because people, in general, tend to do things that make their life easier.

There is no superior date format, there are just date format that are better for specific use cases.

My team switched to using YYYY-MM-DD in all our inner communication and documents

That is great for your team, but I don’t think that your team has a size large enough to have any kind of statistically relevance at all. So it is a great example for a specific use case but not an argument for general use at all.
