My secret is that I haven’t been settled in years.

Nah, he’s getting into politics now and he’s a complete shithead goosestepper. Don’t feel bad.

I see what you did there

Sadly I doubt they have the self awareness for shame or humiliation.

I know you meant vlan, but I love the idea of a loyal tightly knit band of cameras and doorbells.

Agreed. Until it’s enough to change their vote and have them introspect their sociopolitical beliefs candidly, it won’t change anything.

I think you underestimate the bubble many of these people have built for themselves to insulate themselves from inconvenient truths.

Don’t forget GWB, Rice, and most of that cabinet…

Blocky.

Well I’m just glad someone did.

Adding here. Most docker containers support semver pinning! It’s a great balance between automated updates and advoiding breakage.

I’d recommend a solid backup client. This isn’t something you want to find broken when you need it.

Kopia is what I use, and it supports local (LAN) targets, as well as cloud storage if you want 3:2:1 for some or all of your data. Good luck!

Theres a Romm app in ports you can use for this.

I was interested until I saw the crypto stakes to vote on changes baked in.

Is there a place accepting bets on his BAC%?

Similar setup here with a 7900xtx, works great and the 20-30b models are honestly pretty good these days. Magistral, Qwen 3 Coder, GPT-OSS are most of what I use

Yeah, similar sized environments here too, but had good experiences with Ansible. Saw Chef struggle at even smaller scales. And Puppet. And Saltstack. But I’ve also seen all of them succeed too. Like most things it depends on how you run it. Nothing is a perfect solution. But I think Ansible has few game breaking tradeoffs for it’s advantages.

Wow, huge disagree on saltstack and chef being ahead of Ansible. I’ve used all 3 in production (and even Puppet) and watched Ansible absolutely surge onto the scene and displace everyone else in the enterprise space in a scant few years.

Ansible is just so much lower overhead and so much easier to understand and make changes to. It’s dominating the configuration management space for a reason. And nearly all of the self hosted/homelab space is active in Ansible and have tons of well baked playbooks.

What controller?

Like I said above, the outcomes are spread across a wide spectrum of impact. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

But yeah, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t suck.
