So my manager today asked me if I could stay later when there's broken things in prod, and then today his star dream employee yolo'ed a full stack change into prod without review. It's fucking massive and implements new API endpoints, touches >20 files. Many of the diffs are too large to render in the browser.

It's almost comical, but something immediately broke.

Most of my day, I'm digging through code to identify bugs created from this shit, just to get a stealth merge midday.

I kind of don't know what to do.

Things like tires, spokes, wheels. Ideally good quality, but this is also for my shitty city bike. Durability over speed

I have a Talos k8s setup now and I'm trying to add various services. I have discovered that my old htpasswd file won't cut it for auth.

I want to host the following,

1. WebDAV solution (currently sftpgo)
2. Invidious
3. *arr tools
4. Bitwarden

Should I go with keycloak? Are there better auth services?

With all the crazy bullshit going on, I've often wondered how realistic it is for people to leave the city and farm. Like going the Amish way. I have zero knowledge other than my garden, so I'm looking for more information.

Have there been any good studies or analysis of how realistic it would be to abandon modern work culture and return to farming?

I've been self hosting traditionally in debian, but I would like to be able to add services easier using docker. As such, I'm looking to move to a container based architecture.

One place I struggle is that I can't seem to find a good container where the default image supports ACME to support Let's encrypt for automatic cert renewal.

For Nginx, I would have you build my container. HAproxy ACME support seems to be a shell script.

Any suggestions?

I feel like most of my work has been wasted throughout my career.

In my 10 years, I can look back and I think maybe 3 years of my work still exists today. A couple companies are not defunct. A couple projects were literally cut from under me.

Is this normal? Do most software engineers end up having a ton of their work wasted?

I was handed a pile of vibe code. And you might be surprised to learn that it has a ton of bugs.

And tips on how to dissect it and break it up into something manageable?

So I've noticed that Google maps always adds walking time into public transport routes, but never accounts for parking and walking when driving.

I like it feel like this gives the impression that public transport is slower, when 9/10 driving with friends we waste a ton of time parking and walking.

If Google maps and Waze showed parking and walking estimates, it would level the playing field and possibly have a dramatic effect on public transport usage.

Something that will chop vegetables for soup. Ideally something high quality, so I don't need to replace it for a long time

Money is leaving the US

I noticed Lidl Pay today, but it only supports Visa/MasterCard, at least in my country.

My banks don't support WERO yet, but I was wondering if there are any technical impediments to using WERO as a payment method in Lidl Pay.

If not, it seems like an easy win to push Lidl into WERO.

Looking for a used bookstore like Abebooks, but not Amazon owned. Preferably with a large children's selection

Occasionally I have a couple weeks that are really hard and I feel little to no progress.

Are there any methods for breaking through a plateau?

Maybe I'm seeing shadows in the clouds, but it seems like AI means a lot more people have been building open source tools.

I'm an AI skeptic, but I'm wondering if this can help undermine some of the shit software industry. Most AI tools sold by companies have an open source alternative.

I'm thinking that maybe AI will accidentally allow the private person to build free tools and reduce the market value of sold tools.

I have content on a mastodon account I would like to replicate over. I couldn't see how to get an API key in Loops. Is this possible yet?

I'm looking for ex-US investment funds, including bonds. My goals are

1. Low cost broad index ETF
2. Non-USD hedged (preferably not currency hedged at all)
3. Equities, government bonds, corporate bonds, etc.
4. US citizen compatible or UCITS (I want to recommend to Americans)

Civil law notarial acts can be executed immediately. Meaning seizing money or property without a court.

Does the US allow private parties to have a legally executable contract that could be executed without a court?

I was wondering why people warm up in sweatshirts. I guess it helps

I'm looking for a super warm winter coat that will last me forever. Something that will keep me warm around -30 C. I'm thinking military surplus, because it should theoretically be more durable (right?).

Price isn't a huge issue if the quality is worth it.
