First about the bachelor, I did it from a similar situation, started when I was 30, best decision ever. Now I make more money and the job I have is so much more interesting.
About your dad, yeah that is scary and sad, I’m in a similar situation, but my dad is only 71 and it’s much worse than what you describe, I had a very hard time adjusting. As children we see our parents as strong and wise and then some day the decline starts and it’s shocking.
As a child in the 90ies I did not know you could buy games, the only way I knew was to copy it from a friend.
Later my cousin traveled to Poland where he bought pirated floppy disks, this is how I realized that you could somehow pay to get access to many new games.
We have IPFS already, which is a federated file system which doesn’t depend on domains, but has content hashes. And we also have BitTorrent with magnet links, also independent of domains. So something similar could be implemented and I think it would be neat.
I won’t go back to apple probably https://jeena.net/why-i-switchedfrom-osx-to-linux
When I shared this writeup with my wife she said:
Nice story telling ^^.
In a very rational engineer’s view.
While the Wife got panic and anxiety from the beginning.
I mean it makes sense, why would you vote for the copy if you can vote for the original?
Because you point to :latest and everything is dockerized and on one machine? How does it know when it’s time to upgrade?
Yeah, For some reason I didn’t think of ansible even though I use it at work regularly. Thanks for pointing it out!
And it’s stable enough for you? Do you go service by service or is it good enough for everything?
So everything is dockerized and points to :latest?
What about the necessary changes to the docker compose files? What about changes necessary in nginx configs?
I guess you also read each release notes manually?
I am developing a script which will do that specifically for my services.
Right now at the first stage it only checks GitHub, Codeberg, etc. To check if there is a new version compared to what each service is running right now.

I am extending it now with a auto update part, but it’s difficult because sometimes I can’t just call a static script because some other migration things need to run. So I have a classifier which takes the release notes and let’s a local LLM to judge if it’s OK to run the automation or if I need to do it manually. But for that I am collecting old release notes as examples from each service. This takes forever to do so I only have it done for PieFed, PeerTube, Immich and open-webui, and I didn’t push those changes to the public repo yet.
Hm, I didn’t think of ansible, that’s something I should think about to use.
I’m vibe coding a app for my TV to show random pictures from my immich instance on the TV and now it’s a bit broken and anyway I want it to fix the app!
What is n8n?
I know what you mean, at work right now when you run Linux they don’t give you support but they also don’t enforce any of the bullshit but skill give you VPN access to the work resources.
On win and Mac they dust disabled USB storage access and there is a to other bullshit going in TN the name of security while everyone uploads their code to openai or anthropic because they’re pushing for it
So now I am hidden from IT, when those Sanitized Linux ditros start showing up they will build in the same bullshit as they have from win and Mac now and then I’m fucked, because they will force me to use them
Fair enough
If companies had to pay for the gas and time in traffic, most people would work from home.
Looks very cool!
One caveat is that all of us are using the same user radicale user account
This is not necessary, we don’t do that we have the same setup but what I did was I just symlinked the shared calendars, to all the users, see https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/wiki/Sharing-Collections
Why not extend it to every advertisement?
