Also, I was just looking this morning at writing something like that Fitbit/influxDB integration for YNAB (You Need a Budget) for visualization in grafana!
I usually don't pay much attention to the "new software" section, but PerPlexed looks pretty cool! It never occurred to me that it would be possible to create an alternative Plex UI from scratch like that
I read the book but I never watched the show - is it worth?
The... Shamily family???
You should reach out to the authors! I have no clue how they create their "new" section
Also, that CLI trick is crazy! Never knew that and I'm a fairly proficient shell user.
Anyone use authentik? Seems useful, most of my homelab services are unsecured ATM (just local only/vpn)
The thought of colocating my homelab is intriguing... But also sounds like way too much effort and money
Also, I like the "alternative to" blogs in https://blog.while-true-do.io/spotlight-alternatives-for-google-dns/?ref=selfh.st - it's an interesting series.
Spotted homepage on there - might switch my dashboard from Homarr to that, give it a try. Anyone used it (or other dashboarding software) before?
Not to disagree with your point about learning git, but you might be interested to know that "all large companies use git" isn't actually exactly true - Facebook/Meta, one of the largest tech companies, uses mercurial: https://graphite.dev/blog/why-facebook-doesnt-use-git
One of my biggest annoyances when talking to (especially older) people about my job as a software engineer is when they're like "but how are you still working on it? Don't you just like, make the app and you're done?" They don't realize the amount of work it takes to write everything, because they don't understand the complexity involved in writing software.
Though it's not as bad as "so I have an app idea... It's like Uber but for clothing"
