sees someone's dotfiles repo
my brain: tell them about nix
My legs are not letting me forget about leg day.
should really go for that adhd diagnosis
Fun thing, if you ever want to send me an encrypted file, just do curl https://gmem.ca/ssh | age -R - file > file.age
What are some nice #minecraft mods that augment vanilla gameplay without going overboard/not introducing custom blocks where possible?
nostr:npub1kkyckhfs72up8wh5dp67nrg5yat9j7hr83mp2dgmr25mc7n93wlshxuyjj I’ll have to remember to reply to this when I get home.
Alright let’s do this #SurrealDbWorld
nostr:npub16w96uua8z3yntmxkquye2nud400wdh6neqt4rk9n0nsv9ewmpe8qew5dz4 I do want to do that but I'm worried about operation costs stacking up. Curious if you have an example of the config on hand 👀
The other thing I've tried doing is keeping the files large since I know there's some overhead for each file in Glacier so been trying to tar (+compress) when I put things in there)
nostr:npub1ntk6fn5sf3hgtpup9q8py4qn9y7tsnqywdnqvcln6zh3tpc7ss5sn0yruf data is stored on cheaper and slower storage mediums, which is also more resilient. However that does mean that retrieval takes longer and is more expensive
nostr:npub1ntk6fn5sf3hgtpup9q8py4qn9y7tsnqywdnqvcln6zh3tpc7ss5sn0yruf Circling back to this, I'm storing ~560GB in Glacier Instance Retrieval and less than a gig in a few other buckets and my S3 cost is about $3.25/month.
nostr:npub1ntk6fn5sf3hgtpup9q8py4qn9y7tsnqywdnqvcln6zh3tpc7ss5sn0yruf The part that trips people up about S3 are things like bandwidth costs when things are downloaded. That’s usually the source of most of the pain - just storing files is usually extremely cheap. I’ll get back to you on how much my bill is versus amount I store, because it’s too hot to be at my desktop at the moment but I’m using Glacier Instant Retrieval for most of the files there which is cheap to store but expensive to retrieve.
Realised too late B2 now has an EU region. Might replicate the data across and swap to using that as the primary, and consider one of the US regions as a secondary. I do like the idea of my offsite being geographically far from where I am
So the flow is currently:
Desktop sync to NAS with Syncthing in real time
NAS backup of directories to B2 daily with Restic
Just need to get my partner setup with Syncthing I guess to make their life easier.
Sweet! RedisInsight is now available in nixpkgs, just waiting for it to propagate out :) Thanks nostr:npub1cpt76tkxsntpn5mfm7l348cny0458xvp5v5gdxnhhmats4njngjsvr87n3 for the review and merge!
I had a random thought and of course I wasn't the only one to have this mildly insane thought https://github.com/DBCDK/kubernixos
nostr:npub1mtl7p5jxexkymltw77sw9e5jlazy09nv09kf944mlkayxnqn0ejs38403x Yeah, I'd love to use Guix but it would be a hell of a shift and has nowhere near the package repository because GNU. Theoretically it could be extended to use Nix packages but I'm not well versed enough in the world to know how to do that.
nostr:npub1s8ms2vz7jg3qcc7m6z3kakawygkv25ctuj5vj6l30pzqnplqnnjs52zuxc We really just need a Nixpkgs like repository for Guix and we'd be golden. Nonguix is a good start but being a niche of a niche it's hard to get traction.
nostr:npub1mtl7p5jxexkymltw77sw9e5jlazy09nv09kf944mlkayxnqn0ejs38403x I'm genuinely gutted by this. I've been really excited do contribute to nixpkgs more and my personal infrastructure/workflow is increasingly based on Nix/NixOS.
ugh.
