3 weeks ago I could get diesel at €1.60/l.

Now it is over €2 per litre and I am in the weird situation today I cannot fill my tank from empty because the bank does not pre-authorise enough. So fuel prices have absolutely gone up, at least to consumers in rural France, which is all I personally care about.

I thought he didn’t need any help with the war he had already won?

To be honest Ian Watkins and Jimmy Saville were probably more notorious. Although I am pretty sure neither were murderers though, my desire to research it could not be lower.

They had much higher profiles than Ian Huntley before being revealed as nonces.

I’ve been using Authentik for a while now and it works very well. There is also a Teraform provider to manage it as code. I do mostly OIDC, but also use it as a proxy for a few things that do not support that and just need to be locked down (Esp home and longhorn dashboards for example).

The disadvantage is that it is not the lightest option. If that is important to you, look at Authelia.

Well at least he wasn’t chosen as President

died of medical distress

Isn’t that how everyone dies?

We need less polarisation. The far left and far right are both wrong because the world is a complex place full of nuance.

Personally I consider myself left of centre, but I also find policies that are absolutely core to the left abhorrent. That means I have voted centre right in the past, or centre depending on the situation.

What is absolutely certain is this kid did not deserve to die and the people that did it should JUSTLY face the full force of the law.

I run k3s on my bare metal cluster and for a lab I think it is excellent. Gets the cluster up and running easily so you can learn about actual Kubernetes stuff.

Personally I run it on fedora coreos, but I would not recommend that for everyone. I would just use whatever distri you like. All the usual suspects will work perfectly.

I tried it alongside Pinchflat and ended up settling on Pinchflat.

Why? I’m not going to say TA is bad, it worked well, but Pinchflat’s logic works better for me. Also, I was using TA with an existing Elastic search cluster. When I switched my logs to Loki/Garage I decided not to keep the ES cluster around just for TA.

Just use switches and APs and I’m happy. Had 2 generations of AP and will eventually upgrade to the current ones, but am not in a rush.

I have no desire to expand beyond that, but the networking gear works well.

2 problems this week

Accidentally had 2 Jellyfin pods trying to write to SQLite together and corrupted the DB. Not really anyway to fix it so just killed it and rebuilt the library.

Also, my son’s Minecraft server got corrupted. Longhorn backup to the rescue 🛟

We have both.

Kodi use Jellyfin for its media library and Kodi is excellent for a lot of the TV we watch. catch Up TV has replaced the decoder for watching terrestrial TV.

One thing that sucks in Kodi though is Arte (a franco-german channel that is a leans towards “intellectual”). For that, the LG WebOS app is much better than the Kodi add-on. Other than that 1 app, we could happily plug Kodi into digital signage panel if they weren’t stupidly expensive.

I cannot fathom why, but people do not seem capable of understanding resolution, screen size and viewing distance as important factors that interplay with each other.

8k is absolutely pointless on a 49" TV that is several metres away. However, I will take 4k over 1080 on even a 24" computer screen every time.

That is just me though, your preferences and vision may be different to mine. Same with the monitors. You like multiple screens, I prefer a single larger screen.
