I might have found a bug in Proxmox, but I somehow doubt I'm the first person to stumble upon it.

TLDR: Proxmox generates a self-signed certificate that I want my laptop to trust, but it looks like the CA cert is missing a crucial key usage extension.

Have you already stumbled upon it? Am I holding it wrong?

@koyax The CA cert Proxmox generates is missing a keyUsage property, which means libraries won't trust it even after adding it to my trust store :)

Do I know people who use @ansible ‘s terraform provider?

It seems to be quite limited and convoluted to work with, and I’m tempted to go with dynamic inventory.

Am I holding it wrong?

@killyourfm so when's the next trip?

At the individual scale, self-hosting is not a good way to “be in control of my data.”

It’s like saying I do a vegetable garden to be in control of my food. I need much more than I can grow, it’s an inefficient use of my time, and I’m one bad season away from losing it all.

Resilience and transparency are key to be in control of my data and I can’t achieve this alone. This is a social problem, we need to bring solutions as a society.

@killyourfm amazing how outdoors make us genuinely happier, and yet most of us are forced to avoid it for a living

Fediverse, I plan to migrate to my own GoToSocial instance, but there is a major roadblock left.

What custom emoji should I import? Please serve me your finest imagery 👌

@killyourfm My retirement plan is now to hike the world, well done Jason!

@killyourfm Lordy, that’s one giant glass, I’d be slammed! Take care, don’t forget to drink a lot of water, and Tylenol can be your friend if water wasn’t enough 😄

Woo, the new @matrix Conference website is out, and I'm very happy with the result 🥳

Living your best life out there @killyourfm ! Your posts and pictures bring me joy :)

I got myself a ZV E10 (not the mark ii) after a long hiatus of snapping pictures.

Full manual is unnecessary, since there isn’t a lot of value in setting the ISO yourself except in very specific cases.

I’ve found value in finding the balance between shutter speed and aperture though! With zebras in the UI to spot overexposure it’s less difficult than I thought!

But at the end of the day, better shoot at your own pace than not shoot at all

@killyourfm @danirabbit

To give particular examples, sometimes I want to prioritize shutter speed when I have fast moving targets (e.g. animals, including kids)

Sometimes I prioritize aperture when I want to shoot portraits.

Also, darktable can be intimidating and there’s a steep learning curve, but it’s well worth it!

@killyourfm @danirabbit

50mm is great! My camera is an APSC sensor with a crop factor of 1.5 so my 50mm “feels” like a 75mm full frame, and I love how it makes “focused” shots, because there’s only so much you can put in the frame.

The one thing I wish I learned earlier is not to use f/1.8 all the time. Sometimes more depth looks just better. And it’s also more forgiving, the AF doesn’t need to be exactly focused on the right thing!

You can’t recover from physical, lens induced blur 😄

@danirabbit @killyourfm

@killyourfm also welcome again to Team Existential Crisis, not the best performing team in the world but the crew is welcoming.

@killyourfm I recently read Deep Work by Newport. I expected it to be a stupid productivity book, but it really wasn't that. It has some "become a true winner that wins at winning" vibes, but also great advice.

There's a section talking about craftsmanship, and how there was nothing noble being a blacksmith but people were still proud to do what they did. It was eye opening for me. Doing my job as best as I can is a source of satisfaction, at least as much as the output of my job.

This is absolutely stunning. I need hiking holidays too, the kids will get some cardio training soon 😁

@killyourfm

Properly stunning, I love the composition of the picture. It looks calm and balanced.

I used to subscribe to Apple Music and then stopped. When I subscribed again, I had lost all my hand-curated playlists that I had carefully crafted over the years.

I’m done with this subscription-based life where everything you cherish can and will be taken away from you. So I took the radical decision to own my music, like we used to when iPods were fashionable.

And you can too.

The more I look at the geopolitical situation, the more I think the cheapest, most robust and realistic option for Europe to reclaim its digital independence is to massively support @postmarketOS and its upstreams.

No need to mine or buy rare earths, tons of jobs created along the way, countless devices saved from the landfill where they would have poisoned the soil, and even the possibility to monetize other countries’ waste.

It’s just what makes the most sense.
