This applies to any project, really. At my workplace, if someone refuses to let other teams look under the hood of a product, 95% of the time, it's because their code is absolute garbage, but their leaders didn't want to wait so they pushed it to prod and now it's up to some junior employee to fix all the shit that blows up in prod.

And just for closure, 5% of the time, it's because there actually is no product at all.

Users from before the current wave of Reddit refugees, how do you feel about the incoming monsoon of refugees?

This is what I am hoping will happen. With the current reddit structure, for each topic, you have multiple communities -

  1. The noob-friendly one that is not actively moderated and has a lot of reposts and garbage content
  2. The offshoot that was created because the main sub went downhill. Has stricter moderation and content policies.
  3. The meme offshoot that was created because the main sub banned memes.
  4. The circlejerk version.

/r/gaming is garbage, /r/games is for discussion. /r/StardustCrusaders is a fan-art dump, /r/Shitpostcrusaders is a meme juggernaut The mods of the Game of Thrones subreddit wouldn't allow people to shit on the show, so /r/freefolk was formed, and that also served as a template for stuff like /r/titanfolk.

Anything that gains critical mass will break down into multiple sub communities. It's inevitable.

I have a very similar setup, but I recently switched to using CasaOS on top of the DietPi. It comes with docker compose presets for all the arr apps, and also creates a homescreen with icons for all apps. I was doing this using a bunch of different services before, but CasaOS bundles it all together.

Why should I care about OpenTofu?

Man, I didn't agree with any of your comments before this one, but I could at least see your point of view, but this...

You can plug in anything you want here. Now, the engineers can give their opinions and estimates, but they can't decide it. The PM can. It's his job to weigh the risks and uncertainties and decide on the path forward.

You are either a PM yourself or are just making shit up to argue. The PM, at best should only be responsible for signing off on tech choices. If PMs were making decisions, then we would all be using Excel as an enterprise database, documentation tool, and version control.

What Are Some Great Android Open Source Alternative Apps?

Other than the stuff that's already posted -

  1. Kvaesitso - Neat launcher. I was using Nova every since the days of the Nexus S. Switched to Kvaesitso when Nova sold out.
  2. Local Send - Easy way to share files on the same local network.
  3. Tailscale - Mesh VPN which can help you connect devices on different networks. I use this to bypass my ISP's CGNAT and access my personal media server remotely.
