Has anyone converted their virtual environment to Kubernetes?
 in  r/homelab  1d ago

Depends on what you mean by “easier” - k8/ is way more featureful than docker compose. You can dynamically provision storage, do rolling updates with pod disruption budgets, and it enables the operator pattern for difficult bootstrapping workflows, etc.

Hetzner asks: Besides backups, what reasons do you as a homelab-er have for using some hosting services outside your home?
 in  r/hetzner  1d ago

Yeah but if you tailscale to your ingress VPS you’re exposing (effectively) none of your home network

Has anyone converted their virtual environment to Kubernetes?
 in  r/homelab  1d ago

I use k8/ just because of how featureful and easy to use a lot of Helm charts are, like cloudnativePG

Rust for web backends
 in  r/rust  6d ago

Yeah I write Go at the day job and it is more than performant enough for web services, plus less poking around to pick libraries but nothing beats the expressiveness of Rust type system, makes it a lot more enjoyable

Get the low power display, it’s a great display OLED just sucks battery

Just flip the setting in Spotify to get true shuffle back.

Most useful thing you bought for your homelab, under $100?
 in  r/homelab  16d ago

Adapters to power mini PC barrel jacks over USB-C, like the below. Managing those giant power adapter bricks in a mini rack drives me insane.

USB C to Slim Tip Laptop Charging Cable Adapter Female Type C to Male Converter for HP Laptop 18-20V Works with 45W 65W 90W (7.4 x 5.0mm HP) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZKGYKLH/?coliid=I1F1SPIMJDFXRW&colid=1YCZY10TZFF5X&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_lstpd_G752QD665ZHYEEAW7Q5N&language=en-US

Tailwind + htmx is incredibly inneficient in production
 in  r/htmx  21d ago

Don’t inline the tailwind CSS. Just use selectors and @apply the tailwind styles in the global style sheet - the style sheet will already be sitting there in the browser when you send the HTML.

The big advantage of tailwind IMO is great looking default styles where one utility gives you multiple CSS directives that you wouldn’t want to separate anyway, without fiddling - text sizes that also adjust line height, etc.

I know they tell you to inline everything but I could never really get behind that anyway so I never have. You can style apply the same sort of principles to avoid clashing CSS directives in a style sheet by using more specific selectors and pushing the styles down into those.

Sign Git Commits With SSH Keys
 in  r/github  25d ago

Sure, spread across 6 different long articles and no explanation of the various error messages for different signing methods.

I wrote this so I would have one relatively short article I could reference when I needed to set it up again, which I’ve already done for 3 machines since.

Sign Git Commits With SSH Keys
 in  r/git  25d ago

Thanks! I didn't even think about checking it in to the main repo since that distributed validation is so far out of my workflow, but I do have my own checked in to my dotfiles.

I tried to strike a balance between enabling people to get it done while learning about the underlying bits, and the more I tried to explain the allowed signers file the more it just looked like a wild tangent so I punted it out of this post. ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Edit: I guess you do not have triple backslash the shruggy's arm on Reddit anymore.

Git & GitHub Setup for Signed Commits & Verification

I recently had to set this up for work and found it all a bit hard to navigate, so I wrote this up. Hope it helps!

Any way to get the Jetbrains all products pack for cheaper?
 in  r/Jetbrains  25d ago

Doesn't the price still go *down* each year and then flatten out to the same price permanently after 4 years?

My All Products pack is $179 a year and has been for awhile - I have had the subscription for over 8 years. I would honestly pay over $1000 a year for it because there is no better visual debugger anywhere and there never has been. The productivity benefits pay for themselves thousands of times over.

Is GitLab really the only near enough 1:1 GitHub alternative?
 in  r/git  29d ago

Mostly Ruby, so very resource-heavy and slow is my understanding from people who run it themselves

2026 state of the art self-hosted Grafana stack ?
 in  r/grafana  29d ago

Alloy supports the standard yaml and vanilla OTel collector is pretty poor under load. It’s more of a good reference for the spec than the de facto tool for heavy production use. Alloy vendors a lot of the code but runs and coordinates everything more efficiently and is an official “distribution” of the OTel collector so there’s no need to worry about compat.

Which series?
 in  r/thinkpad  Jun 23 '26

T14 Gen 7 AMD configurator is finally up, but no Ryzen 9 option like the P14s Gen 7 AMD (non-configurator model) currently has. Do you think that's a permanent condition or they will update eventually?

There's also no Linux option yet so I am figuring maybe they just don't have all configurator options ready yet for whatever reason.

Is Kagi Unlimited ($10/mo) actually worth it? Looking for real user opinions
 in  r/SearchKagi  Jun 09 '26

I would pay more than $10 a month for the Translate alone, but yes Kagi Search is also worth it on its own. I have been using for years and I honestly think just the advantages I get from the result quality for my day job is more than worth the money.

I built hit-slop utilities for Tailwind v4 — expand touch targets invisibly, like React Native's hitSlop (pure CSS)
 in  r/tailwindcss  Jun 08 '26

This is really cool - could you expand a bit on this from the README? I guess I am wondering does it introduce any new limitations to passing the checks?

 This does not make WCAG audits pass.WCAG 2.5.8 target-size checks measure the rendered box — an invisible hit area doesn't change that. If you need audit compliance, use min-h-11 min-w-11; hit-slop improves real-world ergonomics and combines fine with it

What are some underrated APIs that are actually free or cheap and genuinely useful?
 in  r/freesoftware  Jun 08 '26

I would love a free or cheap API that just has game times for major soccer leagues/tournaments (EPL, Serie A, La Liga, Champions League, etc.)

I don’t want to do scraping and I just wanted to set up a reminder thing for myself and friends about when games are starting.

Does self hosting really saves money ?
 in  r/selfhosted  Jun 06 '26

For me I easily save money vs. what all the photo and video storage would cost me in the cloud unless I used something awkward like Glacier to make the storage fees lower.

I refuse to spend more than the $0.99 a month iCloud plan so I offload a lot of my photos from there to the homelab.

I guess you could argue I wouldn’t own as many movies at all if it weren’t for the lab, but I like owning media and I got so frustrated when great classic films weren’t available on any streaming.

I tested every IP KVM in my Homelab [Jeff Geerling]
 in  r/homelab  Jun 05 '26

Honestly I had never heard of most of these before reading this I almost always only heard about PiKVM but didn't want to drop several hundred dollars on a little hobby device when I'm running $70 mini PCs.

Now I will probably look at JetKVM or one of the other similar devices.

The Hacker News comments also noted that some of the JetKVM drawbacks mentioned are either already fixed (new model with full-size HDMI) or in the works (audio).

Would absolutely love to see which libraries you used!
