@rachel
For the security updates I rely on the GitHub release page's RSS feed. But when I do my regular updates, I've just got a page in my Wiki with a list of everything I'm running with links to the release pages/release notes.
@zak

@zak I've got a two-pronged approach. I'm subscribed to release feeds for most apps running in my Homelab. If something is a security update, it gets updated immediately.

Otherwise, I've got a regular task to update all apps running in my cluster. I then sit down, go through my list of apps, look at new releases' notes and do the update manually. I quite enjoy that as a Friday evening activity.

Infrastructure, like k8s itself or Ceph, get updated less regularly.

@rabbit @frederic Oh yeah, that's another whole bag of weird I might just be too "left behind" to fully grasp.

@frederic Yes. People who couldn't be arsed to write a single word of documentation for their human colleagues suddenly don't have any issue at all with writing miles and miles of instructions for their AI colleagues.

Same for people who previously couldn't find time to mentor a student or new junior colleague because "it's too much work to describe the task in enough detail". For their LLM? No problem at all.
That's the one that really gets under my skin.

@sheogorath That is a really impressive new low. I mean, if you have to find a place to squeeze in an LLM, why then remove the other thing completely?

And I'm pretty confident I know the answer: Internal mandates to actually show that the AI stuff is really used.

@housepanther I've got two "levels" of DNS. The DNS server everything in my network has configured by default is the Unbound resolver/recursor running on my OPNsense firewall box. For most things, that resolver goes out to the internet as usual to resolve IPs. It also adds DHCP leases for all of my machines to DNS.

For my internal domains, I've got a PowerDNS instance running, hwich is configured as authoritative for my domain, and which gets all the internal addresses. Unbound forwards there.

@waffles And it's working nicely, thank you for adding it. I'm always so happy when I can add another entry into my feed reader's "Personal Blogs" category.

@waffles Yeah. I'm 100% with you on the blogs. I would really like to have that massive amount of blogs from the 2000s back as well. Sitting there with an RSS reader and reading the day's new post was nice. It's still nice today, for all the pages which still have RSS feeds. Sadly, even some pages with interesting posts about nostalgia for the Internet of yesteryear don't have an RSS feed...*hint hint*.

The latest Late Night Linux episode finally found the words to describe why work currently feels so weird.

What problem are we trying to solve with AI?
The problem that we're using too little AI!

That fits the atmosphere at work absolutely perfectly. And I don't understand it. Like at all.

How the hell is "How much you use LLMs" even a metric worth the power it takes to show the dashboard?
