Would love to have seen OpenPilot form Comma on this list to how it compared.

Can anyone share settings for Kia EV9 integration? (programming.dev)
 

I just installed the Kia Uvo integration via HACS but am concerned with settings causing 12v battery drain on the car. Anyone else have this set up and willing to share their experience with it?

It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. in c/technology@lemmy.world

I could never get hardware accelerated video working with Firefox on my Linux laptop, and Google Meet (used for work) doesn't work well ( but I guess I blame Google for that).

Do you use a coffee subscription? Which one? in c/coffee@lemmy.world

It looks like they've changed the way they do it a bit they now have these (this is light to med, there's another one for med-dark roast): https://happymugcoffee.com/products/roasters-choice-a

[–] epchris@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I have been buying from HappyMug for years, I do a subscription thing with them that gets me one bag of one of their blends that I picked and then one bag of single origin coffee every month. I'm very happy with it.

Good MMORPG on Linux in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I don't know about natively, but I've played both FFXIV and EVE Online in Linux in the past, and they ran well, but it's been a little bit.

Overwatch 2 is now the #1 of the worst Steam games in c/pcgaming@lemmy.world
[–] epchris@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I like overwatch, have gotten my money's worth from it and the steam integration makes it so much easier to run on Linux, so I'm happy with it.

Resources on learning how to build a retirement portfolio? in c/personalfinance@lemmy.ml
[–] epchris@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just out of curiosity, since I'm also considering bonds, what is "close to retirement" enough to consider non insignificant bod allocation?

hm, I'm not sure I know :) not really into jump scares, but do often love kitchy B horror. I also love scifi so blends of the two are good. Overall, I'll take any suggestions for what you've liked on the platform!

Resources on learning how to build a retirement portfolio? in c/personalfinance@lemmy.ml
[–] epchris@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks for the input! I've been thinking that'd I'd probably just stick to index funds and avoid (for now) individual companies. My financial advisor does do individual companies (to fit the allocation targets), and does do tax loss harvesting, but I think that might be a bit complicated for my initial attempts.

I had thought about doing something like S&P 500 fund + some set of small and medium cap index funds, rather than trying to identify individual companies that fit into "large/mid/small cap & industry spread", but even in those broad realms there's lots of "index 500" funds and lots of "medium/small cap" index funds, how do I figure out which ones to buy and how to compare them?

ProjectionLab - Build Financial Plans You Love (projectionlab.com)
 

Came across this tool on HackerNews last week and gave it a try and thought it was a really comprehensive (in my experience) tool for doing long term financial planning yourself.

It costs money, but you can even self host it for a certain price tier.

Resources on learning how to build a retirement portfolio? (programming.dev)
 

About a year ago I hired a financial planner to manage assets in my retirement accounts but am starting to think about doing it myself.

I don't disagree with the general approach they're taking, but it seems like it should be simple enough for me to do myself every 6 months or whatever.

The gist of the strategy is a balance across large/mid/small cap and sectors at certain percents along with some % of bond funds and some real estate funds.

I think my main questions are how do I identify and compare various funds that fall into these broad categories to try and pick the ones I want to actually invest in.

The Case for Developer Experience (future.com)
 

Developers are operating and building in more and more heterogeneous and complex systems. This article offers some thoughts on how to think about "developer experience" in this world that's increasingly more like a "rainforest" than a "well tended garden".

Using Kubernetes for development? (programming.dev)
 

I'd love to hear some stories about how you or your organization is using Kubernetes for development! My team is experimenting with using it because our "platform" is getting into the territory of too large to run or manage on a single developer machine. We've previously used Docker Compose to enable starting things up locally, but that started getting complicated.

The approach we're trying now is to have a Helm chart to deploy the entire platform to a k8s namespace unique to each developer and then using Telepresence to connect a developer's laptop to the cluster and allow them to run specific services they're working on locally.

This seems to be working well, but now I'm finding myself concerned with resource utilization in the cluster as devs don't remember to uninstall or scale down their workloads when they're not active any more, leading to inflation of the cluster size.

Would love to hear some stories from others!
