    Im in the same boat and I regret buying NVIDIA.

    I’m not a gamer but NVIDIA issues rear their head on Wayland mostly for things that need 3D rendering like Bambu Studio and even Electron apps like Slack, Spotify and VSCode.

    Oh and also trying to get hardware video decoding working on Firefox is a pain. I’m now at the point where full screening a video just causes Firefox to immediately crash.

    Definitely getting AMD next time but I’m a long ways off upgrading my NUC, it’s 8 core i7 with 64gb of ram so will serve my dev needs for a long time


  • No, it’s garbage because of its approach to case sensitivity.

    It’s case insensitive by default (which is a WTF in itself and encourages the same laziness Windows users thrive on with NTFS) but it also has a case sensitive mode.

    Except the case sensitive mode is almost entirely useless because of the amount of apps it breaks that assume the default case-insensitive mode. It also means that you as a programmer have to add extra crap to your file handling code for case insensitive string comparisons if you want to support both modes


  • The problem with using Vim is that you have to learn Vim, but early in my career I was in single-ecosystem shops that all used IDE’s for whatever tech (Microsoft= Visual Studio, Java = Eclipse / NetBeans, PHP = Sublime Text, arguably not an IDE)

    By the time I got to the point in my career where I got to choose the tooling, VSCode was already a thing and it has an extension for anything you can think of.

    So I never had to learn Vim, and now it’s in the too-hard basket, and VSCode is ubiquitous and works surprisingly well

    The real travesty is you only have 2 options, they’re both not very good and the entire country is polarized around one or the other.

    I think the Europeans were on to something with MMP. My country adopted it in the 90’s and finally ~30 years later we have a 3 party government (previous max was 2).

    It helps with preventing one party gaining absolute power and also gives citizens more realistic options at the polling booth

    My proxmox “cluster” is a bunch of old laptops with a single consumer grade NIC in each. I wanted to isolate the VM network from my main home network (have it on a different range) while still allowing all the VM’s to transparently talk to each other regardless of which physical host they happen to be on.

    Could I have achieved this with normal vlans? I wanted an overlay network on the VM side but they still need to use my main home network to get internet and I only have a single physical interface on each host which is plugged into my main home network (addresses assigned via my home router).

    The OPNsense VM routes between the two networks (the virtual vxlan within Proxmox + my physical home network) and does DHCP / DNS for the VM network

    Proxmox requires subtracting 50 from the MTU so it can store it’s vxlan information in the packet.

    From the docs:

    Because VXLAN encapsulation uses 50 bytes, the MTU needs to be 50 bytes lower than the outgoing physical interface.

    It’s super annoying but I couldn’t see another way of having vms be able to talk to each other transparently regardless of which node they are on

    I just attached the host NIC to OPNSense and then have a vxlan in proxmox to make the VM network separate from the rest of my home network. Both the host NIC and the vxlan virtual NIC are attached to the VM.

    The OPNsense VM acts as a router between the two networks. I host all my shit on the VM network under *.internal.legit.tld and use LetsEncrypt + Traefik to issue SSL certs which work without having to load a CA cert everywhere because I own legit.tld

    The only bastard was having to adjust the MTU everywhere within the VM network, that caught me out a couple of times
