I don’t understand - you want a layer to hide database internals but also a web app that “is only the db itself”?

A lot of other people who took the test got largely the same result as when they joined the company — my results had worsened (by the HR Manager’s standards) — she later told me that I was anti-authoritarian and more likely to do what I thought was right rather than what I had been instructed to do. […]

She mentioned that my chances of securing the job upon re-interviewing at the company were slim due to my psychometric profile.

What a nice thing to say to one of your senior employees. HR people really are something else. They could’ve easily lost him that day because of some random bullshit.

Use something like pgAdmin, DBeaver or the pg cli to connect to your postgres instance. Then run the command from the changelog as a SQL query.

Maybe you could install a local mail client like Thunderbird and connect it to your Gmail via POP3? POP will download the mails and delete them from the server. Then you’ll just have to figure out how to export the mails from Thunderbird/your client of choice.

EDIT: This article contains relevant information.

EDIT 2: Alternativly you could just use IMAP instead of POP to download everything and then delete the mails from the server manually.

You can get a quick overview via DSM, I think in the Disk Manager. For more details you could jump into a terminal and use smartctl.

Have you checked the SMART values of your drives? Do they give you a reason for your concerns?

Anyhow, you should never be in a position where you need to worry about drive failure. If the data is important, back it up separatly. If it isn’t, well, don’t sweat it then.

Why would you buy something new if your current solution works and your requirements don’t change? Just keep it.

Also good with Boost once I opened the image and clicked “HD”.

Wasabi S3 is nice and cheap. You’ll only pay what you use, so probably just a few cents in your case.

Oops, nevermind:

If you store less than 1 TB of active storage in your account, you will still be charged for 1 TB of storage based on the pricing associated with the storage region you are using.

Just to get the terminology right: Reactivity means that an app tracks data changes and updates it’s view automatically. An app that adapts to different viewports is called responsive.

I recently upgraded three of my proxmox hosts with SSDs to make use of ceph. While researching I faced the same question - everyone said you need an enterprise SSD, or ceph would eat it alive. The feature that apparently matters the most in my case is Power Loss Protection (PLP). It’s not even primarily needed to protect from an possible outage, but it forces sync writes instead of relying on a cache for performance.

There are some SSDs marketed for usage in data centers, these are generally enterprisey. Often they are classified for “Mixed Use” (read and write) or “Read Intensive”. Other interesting metrics are the Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) and obviously TBW and IOPS.

At the end I went with used Samsung PM883.

But before you fall into this rabbit hole, you might check if you really need an enterprise SSD. If all you’re doing is running a few vms in a homelab, I would expect consumer SSDs to work just fine.

AFAIK k-9 will be rebranded as the official thunderbird app in the future.

What’s wrong with Portainer?

No, the registrar just registers the domain for you (duh). You can then change the DNS recods for this domain and these records will propagate to other DNS servers all around the world. Your clients will use some of these DNS servers to lookup the IP address of your server and then connect to this IP.

The traffic between your clients and server has nothing to do with your domain registrar.

Yep, spotDL is nice. It does however not download from Spotify directly because of legal reasons. Instead, it searches the songs on other sites, for example YouTube Music, and downloads them from there. So YMMV based on which songs you’re trying to get.

Ohhhh, this looks promising!

Same here.

You could look into mainboards with IPMI. They give you a web based interface to fully control your server, including power management, shell, sensor readings, etc.

If you’re the team lead, something like this is your job. You could ask your supervisor for guidance, but ultimately you should be able to solve this on your own.

As others have mentioned: Speak to him. Don’t be nice nor mean - be professional. Tell him how his behaviour affects you and the rest of the team. Talk to him about appropriate workplace behaviour and what you want him to change.

Maybe this will work, maybe it doesn’t. How he handles your feedback is up to him, he is an adult, even if he doesn’t act like one.

If he doesn’t change or keeps ignoring you (his boss!), document his behaviour and go the HR route.

Also not a fan about the closed source thing, but I like about Obsidian that it’s all just markdown. If I ever need to ditch it, I can keep and use my existing files as they are.

Would this also be possible with Zettlr or Logseq?
