The problem with those external HTTP filtering proxies is that the usage of SSL/TLS is pervasive nowadays.

At least some of those support MITM using a local CA.

Could you elaborate when you choose Python and when you choose Go? Does these two languages complement themselves or they are substitutes?

I’m conflicted between Go and Rust. As my codebases get bigger, maintaining them in Python is not fun.

I have a script called update-my-things.sh, which updates my Python’s pipsi scripts, my Python’s pew virtualenvs, my Rust toolchains, my VMs, my local software Git mirrors, etc.

All stitched together in (bad) Bash.

This seems interesting. How often do you use this script? and is there any other part that you failed or found very boring?

On a side-note; I loved sandspiel.

> How often do you use this script?

I run once in a couple of days. Didn't automate the execution of this "meta-script" because I don't want it to run whenever I am using the resources its updating.

> is there any other part that you failed or found very boring

Yes, the VM updating part. Starting each VM, waiting for them to start, updating packages via apt-get, stopping, waiting for them to stop. This was boring and done on trial and error until it just works now.

Why only ext3/4 filesystems? Why not XFS?

They likely need to be able to mount your filesystem for some of their features to work. That's how they can reset your root password, write out network configs, etc etc.

Network configs are written out via cloud-init last I checked, hence the requirements on one of the variants.

Also: You must add an SSH key when creating a Droplets from a custom image. These Droplets have password authentication disabled by default and it’s not possible to use the control panel to generate or reset the root password.

Oh that's so lame. I wanted to run something exotic like BeOS or Plan 9. PoorMan in BeOS was the first public webserver I ever ran! Followed shortly by IIS on Windows 2k... Which should also be an option.

Just of curiosity, what OS do you run? Why do you build everything from source?

Not OP, but I compile everything other than my Steam games from source - I run Gentoo.

I use Gentoo.

Anyone knows how to convert all mbox mailboxes to maildir? Just enabled "mail.store_conversion_enabled" but can't see any UI do make the conversion.

You can have two encrypted external HDDs and mantain one with you, and the other in a friend/family house. Rotate frequently.

Which editor is this?

I use spacemacs, a distribution of Emacs with some extra goodies.

Nice setup, looks productive! What distro are you using?

Kubuntu because I turned into a lazy ass. I used to have a heavily riced Arch Linux setup with xmonad etc. but I gave it up, lol! (I may try again one of these days)

I liked stumpwm but had some graphical issues.

That sounds like my Linux experience over the last 20 years (repeatedly) :)
