Designers cry quietly
  • I don't need research because I've been to Tokyo plenty of times and I saw in fact lots of trash in the ground.

    And again you're wrong, trash bins for recycling do exist in Europe because I use them all the time, and I also happen to have visited lots of European countries and I didn't see that much more trash in the ground than Japan. It's true for cigar butts (its mind boggling in the Mediterranean countries) , but not trash. You probably had one "bad" experience and are using that evidence anecdotally. You are comparing Japan, a country, to Europe, a continent, it's not fair

  • Designers cry quietly
  • You are lying or not paying attention. Got to Tokyo and you'll have plenty (as per Japanese standard) of trash in the streets specially near Shinjuku and Shibuya

    And yes they mostly take their trash with them as there are no trash bins. But is it a smart design though?

  • Why are people impressed with SpaceX?
  • What you're asking is akin to: why are people impressed by the airplane? We've already reached the Americas and India by boat.

    SpaceX, and others actually are not advancing science per se, but are greatly improving/optimising the engineering so that it can be used in cheaper ways by others.

    There's also the issue that after the moon landing we didn't really improve that much and much of the knowledge faded

  • My favourite type of self-care
    • You will spend your entire career chasing trends.

    Depends on the language, that's mostly a JavaScript/typescript issue.

    • The market is volatile. People are constantly getting abruptly laid off. SD has never been very stable, so you should plan on getting a new job every few years.

    Depends on the country, where I'm from there has been very few layoffs.

    • Software companies are constantly looking for ways to make SD easier. As a result, your value will decrease over time, in preference for bootcampers and 2 year degree graduates.

    Not sure what to say, I haven't felt my value decrease. All I see are bubbles saying they will replace me.. and then they burst.

    Nobody listens to developers. Your manager's beliefs about SD come entirely from consultants, magazines, and Elon Musk tweets.

    Agree but that's more of an engineering wide problem, specially when you get managers with very few engineering experience. Take the Apollo landings as an opposite example: great managers that were great engineers.

    • Nobody cares about quality software. If you take the time to make your code efficient and lightweight, all your manager sees is you taking longer to make something than your peers. After all, we can just raise hardware requirements if the software is slow.

    This is a bit too generic to argue against. You can get that in electrical engineering no? If you take more time designing that PCB because you want to better place the components to improve heat dissipation, will your manager care in the end?

  • There you go little guy
  • Sorry if it sounded aggressive. This topic hits close because I have at least 2 very close friends that continuously ignore speed limits and no argument dissuades them of the "speed limits are a way of controlling the people, and fines are just for the police to earn money" mindset, et al. And I feel they'll have a nasty accident one day

  • Caddy and forgejo

    Hi, how do you run forgejo under a reverse proxy while using an ssh channel to pull/push commits?

    From what I understand caddy is only able to proxy http traffic.

    SFF machines for simple server

    Hi there,

    What SFF machines do you recommend for a server to basically run opnsense (with a 4 port expansion NIC) and a bunch of extra disks to serve as a NAS? I was looking through Thinkcentre m720, m800 et al. I believe these allow for up to 3 disks

    I know usually you'd run opnsense on a dedicated machine, but I'm a bit constrained on space so am trying to fit all in one. I don't want to stream Linux ISOs on this NAS just to store my own files.

    Tailscale and two NICs

    Hi all,

    Anyone with a similar setup to this:

    I have a machine with 2 NICs one for default gateway and other a "private" subnet with a service I need to access remotely for a few days (basically its a wifi router where a wifi-only device connects).

    Will tailscale work for this case plug'n'play or will I need setup any routing?

    Opnsense and one ethernet port

    Hi,

    I believe with just one port for opnsense (on a min-pc) we can still do vlans (with tagging I believe?) but how effective is that for segregating and isolating proxmox machines?

    Say I want to keep a VPN machine isolated, from other virtual machines? How would you do that? Do you have any tips for running such a system?

    opnsense: Lenovo thinkcentre M600

    Hi all,

    anyone has any experience with this machine for running opnsense? I'm expecting to do mostly vlan, vpn, ad blocking, and general experimentation with opnsense. Do you advise other machines of the same or other brands? I don't expect to spend much money for now as this is mostly to get my feet wet with custom routers

    I've been looking into the Futro S920 and even though it seems a great fit, it's a bit too big. I was looking something of a smaller form factor.
