  • My first computer job was at a college that used names from ancient history and mythology. So I mostly still do that. Medea is my plex server. Zeus and Hera are the hosts for docker and VMs. Heimdall is the router.

    The only break in the pattern is my storage, which is currently NASC and NASD…

    Oh and my personal machine used to be HAL_9000 (complete with wallpaper and theme sounds) but now I just name it “box.”







  • My background is in enterprise software, so that is obviously different than a desktop tool for individual use, but it informs my opinions.

    In general it depends on the use (is it “production” critical, etc) as well as the update and distribution mechanisms.

    I have several (mostly for windows) FOSS projects i have stopped using or just rarely update because they require too many steps to update, and/or do so too often.Or they require a reboot. Some of them prompt for an update every time I start them. Feh.

    That said, if there isn’t much friction like testing cycles or manual steps to update, I want faster updates.

    Most of my self-hosted stuff falls into the category of getting updates via package managers or docker. Those are often seemless and do not require manual steps.
