I am not sure I could pick a favorite but here is my desk’s current fidget toy box hah! If I had to it’s probably the fidget cube or whatever is in my pocket. Also, I’m going to need to know more about this floppy chain most importantly where do I get one 😄
Oh this absolutely happens to me to the point that I just tell people when I meet them that it might happen but I do try because I have a lot of names rattling around in my head hah! I also use how someone answer ls as a sort of read on who they are as a person haha. That said, I have never had someone call me selfish but if they did I would probably respond by telling them that it’s selfish to think everyone should remember their name and to remember they are not the main character in anyone’s life but their own. I try not to be mean about it but I am definitely snarky about it.
Yeah I thought so too! I am not sure why it’s not appreciated more either, it was a great read!
This was a great episode, this is one of my favorite podcasts so I was able sign up for a forkiverse account in time hah! It actually went pretty well and it was cool to watch it get more active!
Here is the episode page: https://www.searchengine.show/the-fediverse-experiment/
Their episodes are always interesting! Definitely worth a listen! If you like that type of podcast definitely check out Hyperfixed and Heavyweight.
Okay lots of good info here but just to make sure it was clear that you are kinda solving two different but related problems. Connectivity with WireGuard or other VPN and split-horizon or multi-horizon DNS (Wikipedia) which also called a view sometimes (like BIND) and can also be done with two different DNS servers. You can sorta do it with AdGuard but it is tedious to maintain. If you are using a wildcard rewrite it works alright but that isn’t necessarily the same as a CNAME or subzone delegation.
The next pice I’m not sure I saw mentioned is that WireGuard is not like other VPNs in that if two nodes are on the same network they will generally communicate directly peer to peer even over WireGuard addresses so you don’t really need to worry about traffic hairpin like you described unless you configure it to do so (which is more like traditional VPN would act). Tailscale is similar in concept but it uses different terms and technologies.
Anyway not sure if that helped or made it more confusing but there are may ways to solve it so good luck! FWIW, my home network is currently set up with a public zone on a commercial provider. It has a wildcard CNAME to something like proxy.domain and that is an A record containing the WireGuard addresses. Then my local DNS overrides the one A record for the proxy internally which I only get when WG is off. I would rate this solution adequately functional but medium level of janky, 8/10 would use again :D
Yeah! It had a bunch of “wait not everyone does that?” moments for me haha.
My two favorite books to recommend, and both are good audio books, are “Faster Than Normal” and “ADHD 2.0” when people ask because they are very positive I think, the latter being more science oriented and interesting to know more of the why, both are great though. FTN has a lot of good stories that describe things well, it’s often the one I tell NT people to read to understand how my brain works as well! Another good one I enjoyed was Order From Chaos, lots of good “real life” stories in that one like having a doom room of stuff haha.
Okay I saw your previous post but I’m curious now. What happens if you curl your IP address on port 80? Does it send back a 30X redirect for SSL to your newly configured subdomain as the new default location for r do you get back your IP but using SSL?
The best way I would describe how they help me it is that they give me the ability to choose what to do or think on much more intentionally, even if that ends up being nothing because I am not motivated. So from my experience (aderall and vyvanse) they won’t give you motivation but they will let you be more in control of your mind which is always good.
Hah I am glad it was helpful! Glad to share, I always felt like half the point of learning is to share what you learned. That is one of my favorite “hidden gems” for lack of a better term that can be a real time saver.
Bonus just for more fun: you can use cd - to switch back to the directory you were last in after changing directories, it toggles the top two paths in the stack. It is similar to how pushd/popd work if you have you used those. I use that one a ton, there are fancier tools now but that one works everywhere.
Oh also, anyone on a Mac needs to know about pbcopy, Linux has xclip and I don’t remember what the Wayland analog is.
To add to this one, it also supports more than just the previous command (which is what !! means), you can do like sudo !453 to run command 453 from your history, also supports relative like !-5. You can also use without sudo if you want which is handy to do things like !ls for the last ls command etc. Okay one more, you can add :p to the end to print the command before running it just in case like !systemctl:p which can be handy!
Lots of good advice here and I am not THAT old but here are a few things I wish I had realized sooner in life (in no particular order or theme):
The biggest thing though, there isn’t one correct way to live your life and anyone telling you differently is probably selling you something. Always try to learn something from every situation and you will be fine, mistakes are a part of life. Anyway, hope at least some of that is helpful!
So just in case this is helpful I have an x13 but when I was installing any version (tried a few) I had to use a single-band network (5ghz only in this case, had it for other reasons already) because the installer would just never report it was connected to the network even though it was, I had assumed it was that my multi-band network also included 6ghz. Either way though, this seemed to be only an issue for the installer and when it booted up after install I could use the multi-band network just fine. It currently has 24.04 on it and it is fine.
In contrast, and I say this as someone who has used various types of Unix and Linux for a long time, I think this is an excellent use for AI, just be sure to use it to teach you things not just to solve your problems for you.
What I mean by this is I have found (mostly Claude) to be great at explaining concepts, especially if you use it to make analogies to something you know. It is absolutely not right every single time but I have had great luck with questions like “explain to me how to X in Y tool, I know how to have the same outcome by doing A in B tool” or “explain to me how docker works using a rocket as a metaphor” or things like that. Also I use it a lot for new subjects where I don’t know what to search for quite yet and I can just give it a long rambling explanation and example and ask it for 3 suggestions to research further or things to check. It is kind of useful as an expensive search engine but if you use it like a research engineer to get you started it can be really helpful in my experience.
As others have said though, I have been doing it forever both personally and professionally and I am definitely still learning. Linux knowledge is more of a skill to develop over time not something that is easy to master because it continually changes. Learning how to find or figure out the answers is the most valuable skill though, it’s impossible to remember everything. That and often there is no single right or correct answer for every situation but there are a lot of options and opinions and often more of the latter than the former. That said though usually the best answer is the one that I forget about because it functions forever and doesn’t blow up in my face hah.
Anyway, hope at least some of that is helpful, best of luck!
:wq
I think you already decided what I would have recommended (just write to a log file in your python script) but I wanted to hopefully help with the rest of the question hah.
So the first thing to remember is that a pipe (|) in Linux is a unidirectional data channel that passes stdout from the left command the right command’s stdin and this is its only function. Also notable is that exit status of a pipeline is the exit status of the last command in the pipeline (unless the pipefail option is enabled but this isn’t the behavior you wanted either), this is what is available in $? as well immediately after the pipe exits in a script, problem with that is that tee can exit successfully while the previous command failed because it did its job redirecting output.
To get the behavior you are after you would probably need to write a script that does the signal handling or it might work if you use exec to wrap your python+tee command in your dockerfile because then the bash process will get replaced by python or tee, I’m not sure which or how tee will interact with exec without testing though.
Anyway, hope that helps, here are the docs on pipe which are worth a read. In fact when double checking something just now, I learned I can do |& today instead of &1 | which is neat hah!
Edit: I forgot to mention, signal handing in docker is a whole other animal so depending on how you are specifically running it the behavior and signals might not be what is expected or the same as running the commands outside of docker.
Great article about it: https://medium.com/@gchudnov/trapping-signals-in-docker-containers-7a57fdda7d86

To add some more info to what the others are saying, if your public IP address is in the range 100.64.0.0/10 (so between 100.64.0.0 and 100.127.255.255) then it is a CGNAT IP and you will not be able to make port forwarding/NAT work to/from the public internet because your public IP is not actually a publicly routable IP on the internet no matter what your ISP calls it. Hope that helps!
I had a few ideas, I’m suspicious that handbrake is falling back to CPU, maybe check the logs of the container to make sure it isn’t falling back to CPU decoding. Otherwise here are a few things I would check next:
So I had a few thoughts. I’m not sure that you can use the docker device flag with a directory as you have there, I think it expects a device node, you can pass that directory as a volume (-v) though.
If that doesn’t work you might also try running the VM with host-passthrough mode set on the CPU as well if it isn’t set that way already, sometimes that is also required for pass through to work from my experience. Also, make sure you passed through the whole device node, sometimes there are audio devices you have to pass through with the GPU device or you will get odd errors like those initialization ones you had. I’m not sure if this is the case for Intel iGPU though offhand though. Are you able to use intel_gpu_top on the VM to access the GPU? None of that is necessarily specific to proxmox though (but probably applies to anything libvirt powered) so YMMV.
Edit: I realized you may not know what a “device node” is, that is the full path to the device, like /dev/dri/renderD128 vs /dev/dri which is actually a directory.
I do on some of mine because it makes some of the automation i have for them simpler to maintain when it is also applied to x86 hardware or virtual machines. It used to be a huge pain to use on a pi but it works pretty well these days, especially since about 24.04 I want to say.
If you find one you really like and want heavier you could have it printed in metal with like shapeways or PCBway or something I bet! Or even metal-fill filament depending on your printer!
