Pretty cool as a learning exercise. As a follow up scenario maybe try moving this infrastructure to another cloud provider because AWS deleted your account without warning or try a multi-cloud deployment.

The second you allow slop generator use into your code base the quality takes a nosedive. People claim to review their slop but I have seen it often enough, all they are doing is hitting accept all without even reading half of the generated code. This isn’t “just a tool” this is technical debt as a service.

Also Hackernews is ridiculous den of techbros, libertarians, AI maximalists and temporarily embarrassed founders who think they stand to gain the most from hyping up slop generators. Trusting them with anything related to AI is like asking the CEO of Microsoft if you should use Windows or Linux.

I love it as well it makes everything way easier. You can even run containers with it if you install quadlet. I just recreated most of my homelab containers using it.

Regarding Lets Encrypt your server doesn’t need to be accessible from the internet if you use the DNS-01 challenge. Caddy with the caddy-dns plugin for your provider can do that automatically for you.

Either use the sftp command, it also supports the -J option, or use SSH tunneling. For example here I bind the homelab port 4533 to my local port 8080.

$ ssh -L 8080:vpn-homelab-ip:4533 user@vps-ip
(user@vps) $

I can now open a new shell and run:

$ curl http://localhost:8080/
<a href="/app/">Found</a>.

You could also do it this way:

$ ssh -L 8080:localhost:4533 user@vpn-homelab-ip -J user@vps-ip
(user@homelab) $

According to the Pangolin docs it supports raw TCP and UDP connections.

For SSH you can also try to use the VPS as a jump host like this:

$ ssh user@vpn-homelab-ip -J user@vps-ip

1. I don’t give a shit about Linux Kernel drama.
2. Fuck off. The time for politeness and professionalism in regards to AI has long passed.

I would rather go with a completely new approach like the one of run0.

I like them, almost all my applications are installed with flatpak.

I would really like to try this but the device support matrix looks a bit dire. Nothing newer than 2021 and spotty support for various hardware features across the board.

The source code is freely available and GNOME isn’t beholden to Canonicals decisions. If the Ubuntu devs want to keep X11 around nobody can stop them from maintaining it themselves, or pay somebody from the GNOME team to do it for them.

I noticed this a while ago but just found it funny and moved on. I think they rage ban anyone who posts here. The reason why someone who apparently is very pro-AI would visits an Anti-AI community just to be angry eludes me.

Yes, I did. They are both perfectly fine editors but they don’t hold a candle to a proper IDE with a good Vim plugin. I also want to play some games that go beyond the production values of SuperTuxKart and Battle for Wesnoth.

I am eagerly awaiting your FOSS implementation of all Jetbrains IDEs; and no the half-baked solutions that are Visual Studio Code and the various other editors that need approximately 50 plugins to get basic refactoring features don’t cut it. While you are at it, please also reimplement the whole Steam catalog.

Reading that Flatpak is struggling to merge new features is concerning. Flatpak is a really important project for getting commercial developers on board. I don’t want to go back to unpacking .deb files built only for Ubuntu 12.04 to install an application and I want closed source apps to be sandboxed.

Session is a Signal fork and they removed forward secrecy which makes them vulnerable to Key Compromise Impersonation attacks.

I really like it as well. I did three major version upgrades so far and they have been flawless. I also really like Flatpak, finally a way of easily installing something on Linux without breaking half of the system because the application you wanted to install uses libfoo 2.0 and not libfoo 1.9.9-patch-1337. With my atomic desktop applications that worked yesterday also work today. Things don’t randomly break all the time.

The future of Fedora Atomic also looks exciting; Timothée Ravier is working on sysexts which are a way of installing applications without ostree layering. I could remove most of my ostree layered packages with that.

Being able to visualise something helps but it isn’t mandatory. Glen Keane for example has aphantasia and he was an animator and character designer for several hand drawn Disney movies.

There is this steadily growing activist group that you could join up with.
