  • Make Use Of: 5 pool mistakes I made my first season, and what they cost me
    1. “I balanced the water once and assumed it would hold: I got everything dialed in at startup and walked away satisfied. That was the mistake. A salt cell makes chlorine by splitting salt in the water, and one byproduct of that process is rising pH. Mine climbed on its own while I wasn’t looking. The waterline tile started wearing a chalky scale ring, the water got a little cloudy, and the chlorine the cell produced couldn’t keep up, even though the unit was running plenty.”
    2. “I treated the salt cell as set-and-forget: A salt cell has no moving parts and nothing obvious to wear out, so I assumed it was the one piece of equipment I’d never have to touch. It scales up the same way the tile does. Calcium builds on the metal plates inside, and as that coating thickens, the cell makes less chlorine for the same amount of run time. By midsummer the pool was losing the chlorine fight during the hottest stretch of July, and I couldn’t figure out why the numbers kept sliding.”
    3. “I never paid attention to the filter pressure: My test kit said the water was balanced, yet it had some haze to it for weeks. The filter simply wasn’t moving enough water to clear it. Once someone pointed at the gauge and explained that a rise of about 8 to 10 psi over the clean baseline means it’s time to backwash, the haze solved itself. I’d been chasing a clarity problem with chemicals when the fix was a two-minute backwash and the habit of glancing at a dial.”
    4. “I left the cover to fend for itself over winter”
    5. “Cutting corners closing the pool: I thought I’d closed it correctly. I lowered the water, added the winter chemicals, and pulled the cover over the top. What I almost skipped was clearing the plumbing lines, and I nearly left the salt cell installed instead of pulling it for storage. Northern Indiana winters don’t forgive trapped water. It freezes, expands, and goes looking for the weakest point in the system. Thankfully, I caught my mistake before freezing temps arrived.”

There is no cloud

    • And since i came across this article while looking for the image…: ZD Net: Stop saying the cloud is just someone else’s computer - because it’s not: “‘The cloud is just someone else’s computer’, runs the joke. But if you’re saying that, the joke is on you, because it means you don’t understand what the cloud actually is.”
      • Are you sure you know what the cloud is…? Go ahead & use terms like platform-as-a-service & “The unit of compute and storage in cloud isn’t a server or even a cluster; it’s a stamp, because you ‘stamp’ them out as identical units.” But… what is all that running on…? Servers…
      • As i said above, i host my own services because i want to control all of it. I don’t want some unethical person (or malicious actor) accessing my data (based on E2E encryption, but with quantum computing coming…). That includes the US Government:
        • Wikipedia: PRISM: “PRISM is a code name for a program under which the United States National Security Agency (NSA) collects internet communications from various U.S. internet companies”
        • State of Surveillance: đŸ‡ș🇾 PRISM & Mass Collection: “PRISM (originally codenamed US-984XN) is a data collection program that allows the NSA to access internet communications and stored data directly from major technology companies. Operating under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), PRISM represents the most significant known government surveillance program targeting internet communications.”
      • Maybe that article is more targeted to Enterprise, where they likely do what to take advantage of resources that companies like Aamazon, Google, Microsoft have… but for personal, the argument is not the same. I’m accepting the risk of possible data loss by self-hosting, but at least for me, that risk is worth the trade off of having my data stored outside my complete control.

🐧 Linux

  • How-To Geek: I tested 9 Arch-based Linux distros, here’s how I rank them
    1. SteamOS: “SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system. It features a seamless user experience that’s optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC. SteamOS plays tens of thousands of games on Steam, and we are constantly testing the Steam catalog for SteamOS compatibility. It’s an open Linux platform that leaves you in full control, and you can install new software or content as you wish. By default, the Steam Client serves as a user interface and provides connectivity to our Steam online services, but you can still access the standard Linux desktop. Users should not consider SteamOS as a replacement for their desktop operating system.”
    2. Artix Linux: “Artix Linux is a rolling-release distribution, based on Arch Linux. It uses real init systems, because PID1 must be simple, secure and stable.”
    3. BlackArch: “BlackArch Linux is an Arch Linux-based penetration testing distribution for penetration testers and security researchers. The repository contains 2866 tools. You can install tools individually or in groups. BlackArch Linux is compatible with existing Arch installs. For more information, see the installation instructions.”
    4. Archcraft: “Archcraft is a minimal Linux distribution built on Arch Linux. It uses lightweight window managers and applications, making it super fast. With preconfigured settings, Archcraft delivers one of the best out-of-the-box window manager experiences.”

    6. RebornOS: “We are a team of developers, artists and other talented individuals aiming to make Arch Linux as user friendly as possible by providing interface solutions to things you normally have to do in a terminal”
    7. EndeavourOS: “When the popular Arch-based distro Antergos ended its run in May 2019, it left a friendly and extremely helpful community behind. Within a matter of days after the announcement, Bryan Poerwoatmodjo opted for the idea to continue the community feeling on a new forum that would invite any Arch or Arch-based Linux user into the group. The idea received a lot of enthusiastic response, more than enough for him to get the project going.”
    8. CachyOS: “CachyOS ships every package optimized for your CPU - compiled with x86-64-v3/v4 and Zen4 instructions, LTO, and PGO - on top of a custom kernel with the tuned EEVDF scheduler.
