  • I’m not sure if you’ve ever had a public project, but for most people, be it YouTube, twitch, github, whatever, its not so easy. Negative comments grate on you, and, over time, can really take a toll.

    William Osman interviewed a bunch or creators about this: https://youtu.be/DVCpKfedfok

    Its not as easy as to call people out. Some people go great lengths out of spite, doxx you, send you death threats… Is it really worth it? Not that a “fuck off” will work anyway.

    You say people will join you but they really don’t. The reality is there are a ton of crucial open source projects being run by one person on the edge of burnout. See curl, xy, etc.

    Money absolutely would help and I wish the EU would put additional funding into this.


  • I would put truenas on the NAS, also put a VM on truenas with 16-24G of RAM.

    Create a kubernetes or docker swarm cluster with server 1 and the nas vm and just have everything as containers. This way you just have one resource pool, and the containers will be started wherever there are enough resources available. The containers will mount NFS shares from truenas which truenas will create automatically as ZFS datasets. ZFS supports snapshots.


















  • It’s a gas where the chemical reaction of the combustion has produced enough energy to heat it up to a temperature where it emits visible light. Kind of like a glowing piece of metal, but in gas form.

    It’s a mixture of black body radiation and individual spectral lines.

    The spectral lines happen when electrons fall from a high to a low energy state and the energy difference is emitted as light.

    Black body radiation describes the fact that everything constantly emits electromagnetic radiation (=light). But what kind of light depends on the temperature with colder bodies like us humans emitting infrared whereas warmer bodies like the sun emit visible light. That is also why light temperature is a thing and the unit is Kelvin.

    Here are some graphs and stuff: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/648273/does-fire-emit-black-body-radiation
