I’ve been consuming English media for many years. My computer and phone have used English since the 90s. I got used to it, so today, even if I could switch my phone to my native language, I don’t, it sounds strange.

These days I consume most media in English (US, UK, AU) - movies, tv shows, YouTube, websites, books (paper, audiobooks). I have no trouble understanding content, but I do keep subtitles on out of habit, and that helps when there’s a stronger accent.

I’ve been using English at work exclusively for more than 10 years, and where I live now, I hang out with an international crowd. We speak English to each other, even though it’s not anyone’s first language most of the time.

I take notes and journal in English, even privately. I sometimes even think in English.

I still have an accent and I’m missing some vocabulary and the occasional grammatical rule, but I consider myself fluent in English.

Cradle of Filth! I used to have some shorts with their logo :))

My first child was born that year. 🥲

I had to look it up myself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-hole

Ask yourself the same question, but replace trans with cis. Everyone is different,

I read this in Sazed’s accent, from Mistborn. He used to finish sentences with “I think” :)

I feel you.

Haha, thanks :)

Well, I don’t use any social media (besides Lemmy), so that helps :) There are a couple of Whatsapp group chats where I rarely participate, but I muted those, so I don’t get any alerts.

I do, and not only on Lemmy, but also Whatsapp, Teams, email etc. It’s the fear of screwing up and/or missing out, and a wave of anxiety combs over me when I see a number >0. I’ve been talking with my therapist about it, there are reasons and methods to overcome this…

fun fact - i do have a roman name irl :)

I grew up in a rough communist regime. I was really young when I overheard my parents talking about how the “supreme leader” was bad and things were starting to boil the next town over. There was nothing on TV or radio. Innocent me just asked my dad like, if he’s that bad, why don’t they just arrest the guy? They didn’t realize I actually understood what they were talking about. I can still remember, to this day, 36 years later, how the soul left my parents’ body in an instant, and we had a looong conversation about how I should never say anything like that ever again. People disappear when they talked like that, and “you don’t want your mum and dad to go away, do you”?

A few months later there was a nation wide uprising, people died, the regime fell, and they actually arrested the guy.

I don’t use any GUI… I use terraform in the terminal or via CI/CD. There is an API and also a Terraform provider for Proxmox, and I can use that, together with Ansible and shell scripts to manage VMs, but I was looking for k8s support.

Again, it works fine for small environments, with a bit of manual work and human intervention, but for larger ones, I need a bit more. I moved away from a few VMs acting as k8s nodes, to k8s as a service (at work).

I do the same in Proxmox VMs, in my homelab, which is… fine. I was talking more about native support, manageable via an API or something.

Say I need to increase the number of nodes in my cluster. I spin up a new VM using the template I have, adjust the network configuration, update the packages, add it to the cluster. Oh, maybe I should also do an update on all of them while I’m there, because now the new machine runs a different docker version. I have some Ansible and bash scripts that automates most of this. It works for my homelab.

At work however, I have a handful of clusters, with dozens of nodes. The method above can become tedious fast and it’s prone to human errors. We use external Kubernetes as a service platforms (think DOKS, EKS, etc), who have Terraform providers available. So I open my Terraform config and increase the number of nodes in one of my pre-production clusters from 9 to 11. I also change the version from 1.32 to 1.33. I then push my changes to a new merge request, my Gitlab CI spins up, who calls Atlantis to run a terraform plan, I check the results and ask it to apply. It takes 2 minutes. I would love to see this work with Proxmox.

Man, I’ve been living and working in Germany for close to 10 years now. Proxmox is like that 50yo colleague of mine. Hard worker, reliable, really knowledgeable, a treasure trove of info, but he can’t be budged. He insists on installing any new VM using the GUI (both Windows and Linux), he avoids learning “new things” like Docker or Kubernetes, and really distrusts “the cloud”.

I will keep using Proxmox, as I have for many years both at work and at home, but we are migrating from a VM (with Docker) setup to Kubernetes. It would have been great for Proxmox to offer some support there, but…

This is Fairphone’s website. I’m not that anal about it, doesn’t bother me too much, but I did see it on several websites, and I’m just confused…

You are right, it is a region switcher. I didn’t realize that, maybe because the “change region” button was in a language I didn’t know? :)
