I think you'll enjoy this if you haven't already seen it.

Proxmox HA cluster with a SAN. VM migrations go wheeeeeeeeee.

I'd just run HA on the mini PC. There are a boatload of add-ons that you can install which will allow you to make better use of the hardware.

Even better, never connect it to the Internet in the first place. Don't use your TV's smart features, use a dongle or something else.

As someone who somewhat recently wasted 5 hours debugging a "simple" bash script that Cursor shit out which was exploding k8s nodes—nah, I'll pass. I rewrote the script from scratch in 45 minutes after I figured out what was wrong. You do you, but I don't let LLMs near my software.

Wireguard was written with the explicit goal of having sane, secure defaults. I totally feel you w.r.t. openvpn or ipsec, since it's easy to do something wrong. Wireguard is much easier because it simply refuses to give you the choice to do things incorrectly.

w.r.t. the certificate thing, you could set up a reverse proxy and do HSTS to ensure nobody can load up a rogue CA on your devices. HSTS has the issue that SSH has (trust on first use or whatever it's called), but you just need to make sure nobody is MITM you for that first connecting and then you'll be good to go. This would let you use a self-signed certificate if you do desired.

I was concerned about what happens when someone accidentally throws away a device with a fresh battery, but this:

The BV100 harnesses energy from the radioactive decay of its nickel-63 core. The two-micron thick core, sandwiched between two 10-micron thick diamond semiconductors

makes me feel a bit better. That really isn't much radioactive material. Still, it'd be good to see some environmental impact studies done in some worst case scenarios.

Yeah, I could see it being from an antitheist if it was more along of the lines of "fuck all gods" or something along those lines. That's operating under the assumption that all antitheists are atheists, which may not be true.

... Someone who is a theistic antitheist sounds like an interesting person.

He boot too big for he got damn feet!

I miss /r/boottoobig. Thanks for posting some poetry here.

It's not a VR game by default, although I think there's a mod or a VR version or something.

I love the thing about the bees. I remember doing the exact same thing multiple times. I eventually learned that you should leave them on the catwalk on the side of the ship and then run to grab them once the ship is leaving (since you're safe as long as you're on the ship somewhere, you'll just be teleported inside with whatever you're carrying).

Also, the airhorn is great. I think I like the hairdryer even more because it's louder, and I think it's fun that you can recharge it to get more VRRRRRRRs out of it.

Huh, sounds like a neat twist on the accelerator driven subcritical reactor. I've no idea what the viability will be, but it also seems like a nice way to generate useful isotopes for nuclear medicine and shit.

EDIT: ah, it's actually a pretty old idea, it predates the accelerator reactor concept by quite a bit.

I'm on my early thrities. I scored 1, I believe. I don't think I've ever recorded music off of the radio. I had CDs as a child, and then Napster, Limewire, and Limewire's degen cousin Bearshare came along and made recording shit off of the radio unnecessary. I'm pretty sure I've used a portable cassette player, although I doubt it was a Walkman. It was probably some cheap Chinese shit.

Also, this is very Facebook and I feel weird for responding. I'll blame it on being half awake.

EDIT: oh, the rules have changed. If we're only counting the past 12 months, then 18, I think? I own a physical dictionary and encyclopedia, although I've no idea where they are.
