In what cases do you need autoscaling on your home stuff?

I have limited ram and want scale to zero for apps that use a lot of ram, but I only use one of at a time like game servers, or things that can be done over night while I sleep like media encoding.

The main reason I went to k8s, is for the not having to think about what machine will have enough resources to run an app, just throw it at the cluster and it figures out where there's capacity. And, I want hardware failing/getting replaced to be a non issue.

edit: I wanted to add that my hobby is not systems admin, I want it to be as hands off as possible. Self-hosting is a means to an end. I have so far saved over $200/month in subscriptions by replacing subscriptions I was using with self-hosted alternatives. I can now use that money on my actual hobbies.


nice concept! Beads did not age all that well, and Claude doesn't really want to use it since the TodoList upgrade.

Do you have any tricks for getting Claude to use guardrails effectively alongside (or instead of) TodoList?


It works hand in hand to be honest, because Claude will read tickets that match criteria of what I'm looking to work on, and tack them on to its todo list, it just becomes and overview of my tasks.

Great, now do storage!

People shouldn't have to pay $$$ for a 128GB upgrade when a 1TB microSDXC card is under $200. It feels like a trick to sell cloud storage and new phones.


Any day that I learn something new about color is a good day.

Here's my favorite color factoid: There is no such thing as monochromatic pink. You have to make it by combining the two ends of the visible spectrum: somethung reddish and something violet-ish. So that means there is no pink in a rainbow, strictly speaking.


This is conflating two kinds of pink. The pink made from combining ends of the spectrum is most commonly termed ‘hot pink.’

The other, very often just ‘pink,’ is predominantly a light red. A quick and sloppy way to describe this is a light grey with a raised red component.

Also, you can make hot pink without needing to use spectral violet (the ‘end’ of the spectrum) since there are combinations of blue and red that are ‘metameric,’ creating a perceptually matching response in our eyes.


The other, very often just ‘pink,’ is predominantly a light red. A quick and sloppy way to describe this is a light grey with a raised red component.

While that’s true, it’s also still not monochromatic in the electromagnetic sense.


Absolutely, I had that in my draft but chopped it out along with a digression into black body radiation.

When I was young I was taught that pink is a light shade of red. But what kids these days call pink seems to me to be a bright magenta.

The word "pink" is derived from a name this flower had about 600 years ago:

So however you see that flower, that's the literal pink prototype.


And the flower is named for its "cutmarks" on its petal edges, which resemble pinking on cut fabric.

Thank you.


Happy to contribute to your lawyer fund. I want to see how this plays out.


> the things he does.

The things he does is convince investors to give him billions of dollars to build what he wants. Where exactly does that leave us?


A fool and his money shall soon be parted. Sam is a face. If it wasnt him, it would be someone else.


Should be doable to implement GoL on an ortholinear RGB keyboard using QMK


I mean - that sounds like an awesome project in itself!


Check out the video - you can draw on the game by pressing the switches.


Lots of folks use the Claude Max 20x $200/mo. tier, I think. Gets you waaay farther than $200 of API credits.


The Claude subscription is only for Claude Code. Anthropic does not want people using the subscriptions with other clients.


No they are not. Claude Max does not give you access to APIs
