I want both ;D I want profiles to have different partitions of plugins and browser configurations. I want containers to partition my browsing data. I want my Mozilla account to sync my browser history across all my profiles.

would it happen to be "Zones of Thought" by Vernor Vinge?

Ooh no it is not, but I am coincidentally working my way through the third book in that series!

i have a similar setup with a PM box and a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro. i provision VMs with a Terraform provider, have a script that processes Terraform outputs into an Ansible inventory INI file to handle configuration. i find it pretty straightforward and could take it further by scripting my VLAN setup but changes so infrequently i don't mind doing it manually.

You can split the difference with the Proxmox provider for Terraform[1]. The workflow would be:

- provision VMs with Terraform - configure/maintain your VM with something like Ansible

The provider also allows your to schedule LXC if you'd like to target that instead.

How good and complete are any of these providers for Proxmox? If the ratio holds (4/10 I checked), I'd have to look more closely at about a third of the providers, just based on their latest release date.

right off the bat, this callout makes it difficult for me to consider these approaches for any serious project.

I was under the impression this entire thing is tongue-in-cheek. Why would anyone write 800 lines of CSS to avoid a couple lines of JS?

Because of page bloat, some people think JavaScript is bad, and go to this extreme. People need to understand that just because JavaScript is often overused, doesn't mean it should never be used.

I got a big chuckle out of this one. Nice work

I believe the parent says exactly that, no?

I think the question was less "Do you say this pseudonymously to other developers?" than "Do your salespeople say this to your prospective customers?"

I like this approach for running multiple services on customer servers/clouds. for my own cloud though, i'll use some orchestrator that makes sense

Thanks. I'd be interested to learn what direction your orchestrator search goes in.

My thought usually is how to make any environment the equivalent of an appliance and require as little upkeep as possible.

I have been contemplating how Terraform may be able to sit in a private/hybrid cloud design, but haven't looked into it much.

I've used Pelican and switched to Zola a few years ago. I enjoy being able to generate my site with some plain text files and two easily obtained binaries (zola and tailwindcss).

I find the simpler I keep it, the more likely I'll post.

Steve would have always had the vision and the drive to see it through. My guess is that yes, Jobs would have started a company pretty similar in success to Apple but it probably would have taken him longer.

After Jobs left Apple, he had the ideal conditions to move on with another venture. Next did ok but only survived because Apple bought it. Could Jobs have done even as good as he did with Next without the Apple II/Apple IPO reputational boost Woz gave him?
