That doesn't sound the least bit fun lol

I will check that out even though, yes is homework lol.

And +1 for the contribution to help a stranger out!

[–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 2 points 2 hours ago

Never heard of that, definitely checking it out!

Once you understand them, I suppose its easier. I've got a mix of win10, Linux VMs, RPis, and docker.

Having grown up on Windows, it's second nature now and I do it for work too. I stated on Linux only around 2010 or so but kept flipping between the2 . anymore, trying to cut the power bill and went RPi but also trying to cut others and so docker is still relatively new in the last few years. Understand that I also do it few and far between at times on projects so is hard to dedicate time to learn enough to be comfortable. It also didn't help I started on Docker Desktop and apparently everyone hates that and may have been a part of my problem adopting it.

Why did I never think of that?! That would make sense lol. Thank you!

Nextcloud is on my list lol, but I need to run a separate box for it I think vs visualizing. It would be easier/cleaner and more reliable.

Well, I'll share an example. Choosing between Traccar and OwnTracks. I've run a lot of stuff on Raspberry Pis, I like it, but, do I keep setting up new devices just to continue more devices or do I dump some for a Linux desktop and move a lot to containers? But that's more work lol. Aren't there different versions of docker, too? I recall fucking a service up one time using the wrong documentation once.

I think part of my problem is I've pieced stuff together slowly and it feels like a fragile balance, but at work I've got more access to resources... And budget lol

Good point. I think I've got so caught up between projects at home and work I need a break from both.

I agree with that 3rd paragraph lol. That's probably some of my issue at times. As far IT goes, does it not get overwhelming of you had a 9 hour workday just to hear someone at home complain this other thing you run doesn't work and you have to troubleshoot that now too?

Without going into too much detail, I'm a solo operation guy for about 200 end users. We're a Win11 and Office shop like most, and I've upgraded pretty much every system since my time starting. I've utilized some self-host options too, to help in the day to day which is nice as it offloads some work.

It's just, especially after a long day, to play IT at home can be a bit much. I don't normally mind, but I think I just know the Windows stuff well enough through and through, so taking on new Docker or self host tools stuff is Apple's and oranges sometimes. Maybe I'm getting spoiled with all the turn key stuff at work, too.

 

Anyone else just sick of trying to follow guides that cover 95% of the process, or maybe slightly miss a step and then spend hours troubleshooting setups just to get it to work?

I think I just have too much going in my "lab" the point that when something breaks (and my wife and/or kids complain) it's more of a hassle to try and remember how to fix or troubleshoot stuff. I lightly document myself cuz I feel like I can remember well enough. But then it's a style to find the time to fix, or stuff is tested and 80%completed but never fully used because life is busy and I don't have loads of free time to pour into this stuff anymore. I hate giving all that data to big tech, but I also hate trying to manage 15 different containers or VMs, or other services. Some stuff is fine/easy or requires little effort, but others just don't seem worth it.

I miss GUIs with stuff where I could fumble through settings to fix it as is easier for me to look through all that vs read a bunch of commands.

Idk, do you get lab burnout? Maybe cuz I do IT for work too it just feels like it's never ending...

Could you explain? Why would that set us back? You mean if Paramount wins?

I've called them Gooplesoft now.

Check out Mistral if you want a good nonUS AI.

Initially, in the late 00s, Samsung was up-and-coming for LED/LCD so they started to quickly catch on. Then in 2010s, LG started to leap ahead before the price caught up. Now, TCL is that for me, great prices with great quality. Hisense is probably next
