So a thread to tell your woes of BFCM -- the day all of our e-commerce sites (and related services) get kicked in the teeth day after day. So mine started actually on the 27th, we get a massive traffic spike after noon system is holding fine, some events are backing up in RabbitMQ, but that's...

So I figured I'd drag some of the discussion I was having over in a Discord channel of local Hams (and my opinion), little bit of primer here: https://talkpodonline.com/blogs/blog/understanding-the-controversy-surrounding-gmrs-repeater-linking The FCC updated their website to make this...

I may get cleared at the end of January, so we'll see -- indoor cycling for now (hopefully to start this weekend)

If I get my way, the AREDN project I'll be running on the antenna mast will have a Proxmox node on it -- the idea is to install a software AREDN node on it and allow it to manage the AREDN network (along with unifi gear). We'll see if I get the time/money to do that though.

I'm already enjoying some of the build tool chain changes, just better UX in general for CLI stuff. I kind of stumbled into using .NET 9 early on a few projects. I'm super excited for the apparent performance improvements, this is going to be a huge deal for the stuff I got running on the Pi...

@laura curious -- did you end up picking one? How did it go?

That's a super solid point -- the retention policy is to prevent people from digging shit up and being shitheels about it. It's a double-edged sword, I do agree with @brb3 that like "well it means you won't post things that are outright terrible" but at the same time, it also gives ammo to be...

If this is wanted except this kills the idea -- we could have the bot purge threads after a retention period. It does mean threads will generally stay alive until they hit retention period, then the entire discussion evaporates though.

So a pretty simple thing that has been discussed off and on, do we move politics to the forums? I'd lock it down to member-only, a few thoughts: Pros: Threaded (yay) Moderation tools (very yay for mods) We can ban you from it (I swear no channel moderation in Slack sucks) No more 3 day...

Just minor updates for the forums -- we're off of release candidate so... well we were on RC 5 so it was already pretty stable, but should be even more stablier Also took advantage of upgrading to PHP 8.3 since that's recommended for XenForo v2.3.

Most of the things you want covered: Easy patching/upgrades (we got this pretty easy with a docker system we can slap XenForo upgrades on easily) Backups, whether it's managed (full VM backups on your VPS provider) or something you roll yourself (monitor that they're working!) Something like...

Thanks! If I'm lucky I'll get out with just a bunch of a pain and a lesson to not be dumb. :P

https://ridewithgps.com/trips/205559171 This one went... less than ideal, took my road bike on a beginners trail, couldn't be that bad, had some silly spills but no big deal, however was kind of rushing to finish up a ride, high pressure tires off-road made the bike very bouncy and twitchy...

We tossed around a lot of considerations, things like Discourse was considered, but the structure of discussions is a bit clunky and less organized as you try to have more disjointed discussions. IP.Board, phpBB and vBulletin where on the map but vBulletin had a massive falling out when a major...

https://ridewithgps.com/trips/200562440 Pretty uneventful ride -- well for the most part, construction in the Riverwalk made us detour onto Riverside drive... that was... a thing. But I'm probably finding out that I need to get back on my supplements, my VO2/MAX is garbage, Sam recommends I do...

So I'm looking to replace some old MongoDB servers, these are VMs that are manually managed, and they need a fresh ground-up rebuild. They're in multi-node clusters (3 nodes) -- I've never tried to do a per-node replacement/replication on them before. Is there an easy way to basically just...

... I've been fighting with hours on getting this new Docker container to run correctly, I'm digging into a bunch of bullshit Java Wildfly documentation and obscure issues, modifying configuration files that should be fine as-is, stumped before I take a closer look at the documentation: Hey...

Small caveat here: I've been bit by developer surveys having a honeymoon period with FOTM -- it's taught me that the wider developer community can sometimes really over-hype something that under-delivers. For me it's less specifically languages, but what I'm doing with them, I write C# day in...

Honestly surprising to me, didn't expect it that high. But yeah for basically everything we use we'd block AI bots from, it isn't like search crawlers where they're specifically useful to our interests at all, and the load of providing content to bots that are just sucking everything up is less...

https://ridewithgps.com/trips/197348611 21.8 miles, a little slower than last time on this route but there was a nasty headwind, ran into WJ9J in the parking lot!
