Yeah, when I’m cutting I’ll do a fuck load of seitan, cut out the rice and have 300g of broccoli, with a flavoured with a ton of spices. Genuinely tasty and something I enjoy, cutting doesn’t need to be punishment.

Chains will usually ship the dough frozen from a central location, you then defrost it the night before you want to serve it. That means you need to project your sales for the next night otherwise it’ll go bad. If you get it majorly wrong you’ll be left with a load of dough that is bad

I’ve stopped using bare env files on the repo, I’ll create an env file that populates values from a secrets manager and check this file info git. Or throw the env file info a parent dir because they’re probably user specific anyway.

Having an env file that needs to exist but isn’t checked into source control creates “works on my machine” issues as well, just load them from the environment and provide a programmatic way of setting the environment (or stop pretending they’re part of the project and use direnv/Mise to setup the env)

This is pretty cool and solves one of the problems I’ve had whilst playing around with things like Cursor: that it breaks my flow having to wait 5-10 minutes for it to generate code/documentation, I’d really like to use that time to focus on my main work whilst it does some grunt work. Worktrees looks like it might provide a solution to this

Leather isn’t a free byproduct, in many cases less CO2 is emitted by not using the hide and just producing an alternative instead

It’s not, cotton seats are also a thing. And even the polycarbons are usually recycled anyway

I’m not convinced raising a whole living being that eats plants, and harvesting its skin is that much more energy efficient than just using a plant fibre

Hetzner VMs generally, there are a couple of issues I’ve needed to workaround like private IP assignment with terraform, but other than that, if you’re comfortable deploying a k8s cluster yourself, just throw things on the cluster. The VMs aren’t the fastest but they give the biggest bang for your buck.

I’m currently experimenting with scaleway, but the cost is pretty high, so I’ll probably just migrate over to dedicated machines in hetzner and add more machines as the cluster grows

Not as far as I know, but the self-hosting community is generally moving over to VM runners and off the vendored solutions, any cloud provider can give you those.

Scaleway gives the most was style of services like managed kubernetes, FAAS, managed gateway etc. you pay for the convenience though.

This is why I’m migrating all the servers I own to EU data centres owned by EU companies. It’s insanely hard to get enterprises off the big 3 cloud providers, but for the smaller clients I support they don’t know why difference and in the long run it ends up saving then money
