    I hate how docker made it so that a lot of projects only have docker as the official way to install the software.

    This is my tinfoil opinion, but to me, docker seems to enable the “phone-ification” ( for a lack of better term) of softwares. The upside is that it is more accessible to spin services on a home server. The downside is that we are losing the knowledge of how the different parts of the software work together.

    I really like the Turnkey Linux projects. It’s like the best of both worlds. You deploy a container and a script setups the container for you, but after that, you have the full control over the software like when you install the binaries


  • I edited the post. Since it’s all local it’s fine to show the IP. It’s just a reflex to hide my ips.

    I use IP directly as I don’t have a local domain configured properly.

    The outpost ip in my configuration file is the same provided in the outpost on Authentik.

    I am trying to get it to work still, but I am pretty sure that the issue is between Authentik and Firefly.

    I don’t see any of the headers (x-authentik-email more specifically) specified in the caddy file when Authentik is sending the request to Firefly. The only header I see is x-authentik-auth-callback.

    I am not sure how I can specify which headers are sent in Authentik.








  • Thanks for your input.

    I think I would like to follow all these people and their work on C, and their in depth knowledge. But free time is sparse, and I don’t have the mental energy when I do have some time.

    As for my work, I work in a startup where I am the only one doing what I do. However, I have a lot of leeway in how I code, so I am always somewhat read on best practices. So I can’t really refer to a senior dev, but I can self-teach.

    I think I coded enough that a lot of what I do is a reflex, and I often can approximate a first solution,but I have doubts all the time on how I implement new features. That makes it so that I am a slower coder and I really struggle to do fast prototyping.

    I am aware enough of what I do well, and what I struggle, so there’s that.


  • At least, we know emotionally that it will get better with the second one haha, even if the day to day is rought.

    With the first one, it felt like we would never get to the other side of it. But we did and we will for the second one.

    I am eager to learn new things, so having so little free time is definitely tough. And the lack of sleep/energy makes it even harder.

    Thanks for the encouragement, it’s nice to be acknowledged by someone else that went through the same thing. We often forget that we are not alone and a lot of people got through it before us.


  • I work in a startup, so I’d say that almost every day, I learn something new. So I don’t really need to look in-between tasks because a lot of tasks bring new challenges.

    When I worked in corpos, my job was restricted to the same tasks and specific knowledge. Now it’s the opposite where I need to learn what I need to create a feature or fix an issue.

    I guess that lately, a lot of new things have popped up and I need to absorb a lot of information to implement the features I need. And that is probably what is triggering the imposter syndrome.

    Thanks for the insight, it is appreciated.


  • What I like about embedded is that it’s between software and hardware, where you have to know both to a certain extent. It kinda feels like being a mad scientist bringing a monster to life. Seeing that my code makes physical actions (lighting a LED or controlling a motor) never seems to get old, even when trivial.

    I am confronted everyday about the things I don’t know because I work in a startup and I am the only one that does what I do. Any issue that I have tells me what I need to learn to fix the issue.

    You are right that for a lot of people, what I do seems like magic and we often forget the extent of our knowledge because it has become innate.

    Thanks for the insight, I appreciate it.
