I hadn't tried out Nano Banana for diagrams yet so I had a little play. Wonderfully promising and hilariously crap in the details. So close and yet so far.

Damn! I was literally wondering this on my run today, and also... how stable/independent of US are which TLDs? Can they take over easily .com? (Not block, but steal)

OMG I cannot believe how TERRIBLE California is for small business. If you have an LLC doing business in CA you must pay an $800 tax per year--even if you have no income yet. Completely ridiculous!

Everything is better with Niri too! Some settings are per output only and it works seamlessly on my 40" and 13" screen.

Ok, after reading more about frequency of Fedora updates, I decided to stick with Ubuntu. Claude iterated on the script a little bit, added more volumes, etc., and now I'm running.
When setting up new machine I write "manual" notes and this year there aren't that many to set up new system!

Yep, just with tests in between and fully automated rollbacks. Claude is handling nix pretty well. There's a lot of good quality open source nix code!

Another idea that is still back on my mind.
Use 2-3 "cheap" servers for DB and web, connect from home server only for workers and async Tasks. After all, we're running on BEAM, right? Basically, hosting would cover only cases where latency to the user matters, the rest offloaded.

That's not a lot of resources and probably would require lots power too? Plus single point of failure...
If I had reliable & fast internet (π©πͺLOL) I'd rent only cheap hetzner VPS for forwarding to my server at home.
Mac Minis for hosting are interesting too, very power efficient

Unsure if this counts, I have multiple proxmox LXC/VMs deployed via deploy-rs with NixOS. In 2025 I mostly switched to just prompting Claude with what I need and letting it run tests, checks and if all ok - deploy.
It was important to get healtchecks right, and deploy-rs handles auto rollbacks.
