I'm honestly surprised a single Raspberry Pi 4B with 8G memory and 240G SSD can handle this much and not even touch 50% utilization.
Everything is configured declaratively with NixOS, cannot imagine ever doing this without it. Secrets are almost all deployed with agenix, although I might experiment with Hashicorp Vault with stack of Pi Zero WS I have lying around.
It is really addictive, though :)

But rustlings has been fun and enjoyable.
On another front, I now hate WSL after trying to get Intellij recognize a JDK from NixOS vm, and I kind of got soured on Java's ease of dev setup.
So, I'm just thinking of going with Rust all the way in, I like that things just work™.
On another note, I finally put up my blog! Its fairly simple and standard, but I'm having fun writing stuff on it. If anybody cares, feel free to shake down the tree: https://bhankas.org

I'm learning elixir to use with a personal project (no other reason that its strengths appeal to me) and I'm also looking for full-text search with some jazz. When you're done, I'll be happy to refer/reuse your work if you choose to open source it. Should also be a nice example for myself.
I'm currently following exercism track on elixir, after covering language basics will start (again) on Phoenix. Any advice for the way?

I mean, I enjoyed the video thoroughly and wish my company could/would want to do something like this, but our jokes just pale compared to this.

Can't tell for WiFi. I had been reading up on general Pi issues for a while before, so boot from SSD and connected via Ethernet. Have literally not touched it since March, only SSH into it every month or so to check if it is updating correctly.
It has been zero maintenance. It runs syncthing, navidrome and PiHole, so any failure would be detected near immediately. But no complaints, no babysitting needed for 6 months now. 10/10 recommended.

It then proceeds to build the system and only switches if successful. It also reboots automatically, only if it is necessary. The time and frequency of updates is entirely and very easily configurable.
Oh and by building, I do not mean compiling every package. NixOS kinda generates or builds a new system state for every set of updates so despite everything if something does break, you can just boot into previous state, which is quite noob friendly.

On my usual work-day, I can easily go through couple dozen tabs, and always need about half dozen open for quick references. With TST everything is visible in one glance and click able, no need to hunt among the tiny logos of pages, not to mention when they all are same, because Jira and confluence share one (thanks, Atlassian).
Anyway, I have tab column on right side of my screen. After having it there for nearly 3 years now, I have come to realize it doesn't matter. Because vast majority of internet has broad white bars (if not ads) on the sides and the tab column rarely impedes on actual content.

Whaaaa??? Bullshit!
I use Tree Style Tabs and boy do I have a secret for you. They can cure cancer tomorrow and "Nested Tab Hierarchy" would still be the best thing invented by mankind! (Only slightly exaggerating).
Why?
Tab nesting means you can have a hundred million of those critters open, and not give a fuck because you only see the 3 that are relevant at that moment.
Tab nesting means your context and even more important, your chain of thought is preserved, including all the branches it took. That means you can offload the state from your brain to your machine. You also get to offload the burden of remembering the failed paths, because they exist right there.
Nested tabs mean when you are finally done with something, you can close all the 33 tabs associated with it in single click. The zenith of pleasure in that single click is nonexistent without tab nesting.
Give it a try. Your mind will be freed. Come, redeem your mind and soul. Join us, in the holy pantheon of the Tree (Style Tabs)!

Pattern matching and forced functional+immutable approach is very very different fromy comfort zone (Java, Emacs-Lisp). If anyone knows any good tutorials made in past couple years, I'll really appreciate it. LiveView has changed a lot in past few years and older books/videos have enough differences to be a deterrent. As a beginner videos are useful to get the feel of things, after that I can probably safely move to books (Elixir in Action and LiveView books are pretty good)

Everyone around my country pirated (many still do) because paying 100$ for Windows software was ridiculous when 50$ would last a month for groceries and salaries started at 100$. When people did started having money, they started preferring paying for shit instead of spending hours on formatting system nth time that month.

It has single RISC V 32-bit core and costs so little that I wouldn't mind if the learning went nowhere. It is fun to learn though. Might even try out Rust just for this
Gonna give another go to Axum and Rust for my long stuck project. Should be fun.
There's also a test framework I'm looking to wrote for work in Java, but oh the priorities....
