Also hoping that this work continues and tooling is made available. I suppose eventually someone could even make a wrapper around it that implements Docker's remote API


Not to mention, Proxmox does not support running Docker in an LXC officially (of course many users still do it). It is not a supported configuration as of now


Rightfully so, running docker in an lxc container is quite a dumb idea. Have you tried podman instead?

> Detaching and reattaching EBS volumes can take 10s for healthy volumes to 20m for failed ones

Is there a source for the 20m time limit for failed EBS volumes? I experienced this at work for the first time recently but couldn't find anything documenting the 20m SLA (and it did take just about 20 full minutes).


I'm not aware of any published source for this time limit, nor ways to reduce it.

The docs do say, however, "If the volume has been impaired for more than 20 minutes, you can contact the AWS Support Center." [0] which suggests its some expected cleanup/remount interval.

That is, it is something that we regularly encounter when EC2 instances fail, so we were sharing from personal experience.

I haven't seen any in depth performance comparisons, but I had also started to dig into this and I was leaning towards using Scrypted instead of the HomeBridge plugin. Just wanted to name-drop them for others also interested in all this


Scrypted is faster when I tested it a year or so ago.

I almost jumped into their Scypted NVR system (with all the bells and whistles all fully integrated in one app and would cost me $70/yr for 7 cameras) but it seemed like I'm trading one remote access system for another hence why I decided to keep using Homebridge (HB) until the HB project starts becoming stagnant or unless something breaks on my end. You can have Scrypted+HomeKit just like I have Homebridge+HomeKit setup, but Homebridge is pretty fast for me on Apple Silicon hardware so as they say "if it ain't broke, dont fix it."

This is the beauty of open source projects like these. Pick which works for you and just keep it updated and donate a few $ when you can to support the project.


Right? It would be great if I could plug a USB-C cable into 2 ports on my Mac and it could figure out what the cable is capable of


From what I have seen that is not the case. The AirPods nor connected iPhones are interacting with the other person’s at all.


If you think those 2 things are even close to comparable I've got a bridge to sell you


Would you be open to dropping an email address? I'd love to chat about your experience with Elixir for financial applications if you have any time


I don’t have to auth on my phone every time. I suspect maybe I do for the first time I use this feature for that boot of my phone, but I haven’t confirmed that yet. This would be useless if you had to auth on the phone every single usage


That was the first thing I checked, and it looks like they’re using some existing python package to parse docx files. I wonder if they contributed to it or vetted it strongly


Wow, I dunno if that's good or bad, certainly it's not what I expected.


Looking at the code, it looks like they used existing Python packages to read and parse MS Office formats, not what I expected, seeing that the repo is in Microsoft's org on GitHub I expected them to have used Microsoft's "official" libraries for parsing these formats, through Component Object Model (COM).

They used Mammoth for docx (Word) [1][2] Python-pptx for ppt (PowerPoint) [3][4] and Pandas for XSLX (Excel) [5]

COM requires you to interact with the files through the associated MS Office applications, whereas these libs parse the ooxml file format directly.
