You don’t really need to know a specific language to self-host anything. But things like YAML, JSON, Docker, and some networking basic will go a long way.

If I could do anything different though, it would definitely be to write more documentation. Document the steps taking setting things up, log notes on when you have to fix something, archive webpages and videos that you used along the way. Currently doing that myself now after some time self-hosting.

Greta article talking about this very same guy and the mole who helped release the info.

“CrimeDad” asking us about our security setups? Good try buddy.

I personally prefer consistent and smaller releases. It offers less opportunity for big bugs to creep in along with smaller fixes and features.

I saw agile mentioned here but here’s another suggestion. Agile can be helpful in the right situations but for solo devs/tiny teams, I really recommend looking into Basecamps “Shape Up” method. It uses longer cycles vs shorter sprints with a cool down period in between.

So in the case of OP, they could set a 6 week cycle and plan for things that can definitely be completed during that time period. Right at the end of the cycle you release. The goal is to finish before the cooldown to give yourself time to breathe and plan what to do for your next cycle. Play around with a fun feature, learn about a new tool or technique you wanna try, organizing your backlog, etc. You don’t want to spill tasks into the cooldown. Else it’s not a cooldown.

The online version of the Shape Up book is free and can be found here.

From the video I saw of the incident, it looks like they were flying them from a safe distance to the crowd. But possibly some kind of interference or routine code bug caused some to drop and others to shoot out in random directions at full speed. As an FPV pilot, it’s crazy how fast they can pick up speed. I wonder if they lost all TX/RX abilities in order to turn them off. It happened to me once, luckily in a field alone and was only able to find it because of the stupid loud beeper I put on it.

I think drone shows are super neat, but there maybe needs to be a minimum distance regulation and required netting in front of crowds before we keep bringing the tech to events.

And most software is built using open source tools. I’ve had bosses who are just fine forking out tons of cash to AWS but cringe at the idea of donating $100 to something we use daily.

Cat wasn’t sure about the whole thing till its head got licked. It then thought “Oh I get why little kitty is here, this is nice”

YouTube content creators are dealing with the same bullshit to a degree. Especially on the music side. DCMA and copyright strikes are being weaponized to shut content down someone doesn’t like, not because there’s actually infringement going on. You see that happening now too with comic/comedy commentator channels, e.g. the whole Brendan Schaub bit.

There’s a lawyer I follow on YT who speaks about this a lot.

Oh true I see what you mean. Misread your initial post.

What the hell is happening here? Your comment has nothing to do with this post. Or bots? Idk… seeing this happening a bit with a few posts.

Um… you sure you’re responding to the right post there buddy?

Is this tent for pets specifically or is it one of those tiny demo tents setup in stores?

Sorry, misread your comment.

Last I read that claimed was confirmed as untrue. City Bike said it wasn’t one of theirs.

More like a Goebbels level than a guard. Guard would be like a customer service agent. The CEO was way more involved than that.

😏

It’s bound to happen when sarcasm is met with sarcasm.

Have a link for it? Or some specific keyword I can search for? I have tons of components sitting around and a 3D printer.

Oh that’s really neat. It would be extremely helpful for situations like the hurricanes in the US these past months.
