  • Eine Eismaschine zu mieten, ergebe vor allem bei einmaligen Events oder in der saisonalen Gastronomie Sinn. Es schone nicht nur die Geldbeutel der Gastronomen, sondern auch die Umwelt.

    Den Schmarrn versuchen sie uns immer wieder zu verkaufen… “Mieten ist umweltfreundlicher…” Blödsinn, sage ich!

    Der Umwelt ist es egal, wie du deine Eismaschine bezahlst, genauso wie es ihr egal ist, ob du mit einem Car-Sharing-Auto von A nach B gurkst.

    Am Ende werden mit Strom und Wasser Eiswürfel von einer Maschine erzeugt, die irgendwer hergestellt hat, genauso wie du mit der stinkenden Sharing-Karre von A nach B gefahren bist.

    Mieten wischt die Umweltbelastung nicht einfach zur Seite. Weniger Kosten? Ja, aber wenn du gerade nicht Eis machst/Auto fährst dann machts jemand anderes.

    Aus dem heraus kann man argumentieren, dass ein Mietauto oder eine Mieteismaschine weniger ökologisch sind, da diese intensiver genutzt werden als ein eigenes Gerät, das mal Standzeiten hat…



  • Purchasing power refers to how much goods you can buy with your currency. As you can imagine you can buy less with 100$ in the US than in India, where everything is cheaper. If you take purchasing power into account you convert everything into a “standard amount of stuff”. And using a conversion based on “the same stuff” you’ll get a different currency conversion factor.

    India achieves their goal still very economically, but it’s not 75mil, it’s 255mil. The equivalent amount of stuff that costs INR 6.15billion if you buy it in India costs USD 255million if you buy it in the US.















  • The thing is it’s not really a “documentation” but just a collection of configs.

    I have organized my containers in groups like you did (“arrs”, web server, bitwarden, …) and then made a repository for each group.

    Each repository contains at least a compose file and a Gitlab CI file where a aimple pipeline is defined with basically “compose pull” and “compose up”. There are alao more complicated repository where I build my own image.

    The whole “Git” management is really transparent, because with Gitlab you can edit directly on the platform in a hosted VSCode environment where you can directlY edit your files and when your satisfied you just press commit. I don’t do weird stuff with branches, pushing and pulling at all. No need for local copies of the repository.

    If you want to fulltext search all your repos, I can recommend a “Sourcegraph” container, but use version 4.4.2 because starting with 4.5.0 they have limited the number of private reositories to 1. But this is something for later, when your infrastructure has grown.


  • I’m defining my service containers via GitLab and I deploy them via tagged and dockerized GitLab Runners.

    If something fails, I change the runner tags for a service and it will be deployed on a different machine.

    Incl case of a critical failiure, I just need to setup a Debian, install docker, load and run the GL runner image, maybe change some pipelines and rerun the deployment jobs.

    Some things aren’t documented well, yet. Like VPN config…

    Ah yes, my router is able to access GitLab as well and pull the list of static routes etc. from it.
