  • Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?

    Jump

  • I created a text file with all the IPs, server name, and function and some general notes. I don’t use good passwords in my home network, sue me. But my master password should go into the will stored with lawyer.

    It’s enough to get started but my family will have to find someone to help them at some point as they don’t have the technical skills I do.

  • What's the worst travel delay you've experienced?

    Jump

  • 3 hour delay on a 1 hour bus trip probably takes the win for me. It was the day before a major holiday and I didn’t think about the impact on the transit system. Got home in time for bed. It’s a different kind of feeling than travel delays on planes or trains I think.

    I don’t go to the office on that day anymore, and won’t unless it’s to get a cheque that will fund my retirement. Not worth it.

  • How do I avoid becoming one with the botnet?

    Jump

  • I have snort running on my firewall monitoring my LAN port. Does it help? No idea. Does it make me feel good because it blocks stuff? Yup. It does enforce IP blacklists from a feed, so it’s a start.

    Keeping an loose eye on things and watching for extra network traffic, cpu, ram usage is what I do.

  • I made my home lab immutable with Terraform | XDA

    Jump

  • I get that. It’s never been easier to self host with minimal knowledge and people still say it’s too hard. I said terminal but I don’t mean that to limit to bash. It could be any server interface.

    I deal with the tech all day. I get paid to. I’d rather spend my leisure time touching grass, but I’m at that point in my career where it’s difficult to get excited like I do in my 20s.

  • I made my home lab immutable with Terraform | XDA

    Jump

  • Well, like i said, I don’t wanna stare at a terminal at home. I’m running too many services as it is.

    Automate the updates with a cron job and use family for outage notifications.

  • I made my home lab immutable with Terraform | XDA

    Jump

  • I get that but the setup investment up front. Wow. I’ve built out my services exactly once (over 10 years now), so I don’t really see the value for myself.

  • I made my home lab immutable with Terraform | XDA

    Jump

  • That’s not what I meant. I can self host without building layers upon layers of infrastructure and infrastructure management tools.

    In fact your post could be misconstrued to suggest that if you can’t build out a home server cluster with enterprise tooling and automated deployment as in TFA, you shouldn’t self-host. Realistically, it’s not necessary.

  • I made my home lab immutable with Terraform | XDA

    Jump

  • The advantage to using something like terraform is repeatability, reliability across environments and roll-backs.

    How much fucking work do you do at home anyways? The last thing I want to see when I clock out is another terminal screen. I’ve been doing this too long.

  • ICE agents pull guns on police officers 'of color' and demand papers: MN chief

    Jump

  • At a press conference on Tuesday, Bruley said he opposed abolishing ICE but disagreed with how federal officers were carrying out immigration enforcement.

  • NHS defends cousin marriages because ‘only 15 percent lead to birth defects’

  • “It’s cultural”

  • PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch

    Jump

  • It’s amazing what blind adherence to AI can do.

  • Canada slashes 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to 6%

    Jump

  • Limiting to 49000 units is interesting, I’m not sure what the electric market is like in Canada.

    the deal explicitly targets the low end of the market, with the government anticipating that within five years, “more than 50% of these vehicles will be affordable EVs with an import price of less than $35,000.”

    The incumbent automakers have been put on notice. Unless the Chinese manufacturers total screw up and bring in unsafe trash. Not a lot of cars in that space anymore and virtually none in the EV space.

  • What have scientists discovered very recently that most people should absolutely know ?

    Jump

  • Replicating results is a problem across the board; I’m sure money is a factor but it’s not just the chocolate-sponsored-by-Hershey studies that have replication challenges.

    I’ve hit a wall with tech.

  • I Work with tech at work.

    I Work with computer-free problems in spare time (ie get a hobby like gardening).

  • Fool me once… twice…

  • UK police blame Microsoft Copilot for intelligence mistake

    Jump

  • The people who want to run everything like a business either have never worked for a business or is a Business Idiot who doesn’t know how much waste happens in the average business.

  • If you could go back in time, what is the one thing you would change about computers or the internet?

    Jump

  • One? Tie between redoing CFAA, DMCA, and privacy regulations before they became problems.

  • Apple picks Google’s Gemini AI for its big Siri upgrade

    Jump

  • Hopefully all the time it’s taking will result in a half decent result. Siri is frequently less useful than just talking to a rock.

    It could just as well be delays related to capacity.

  • Travel Is Not Education

    Jump

  • This article overlooks the value of meeting people and experiencing different cultures and ways of life.

    A Texan can read for days about public transit and bicycles, but cannot fathom how it works until they spend some time in Amsterdam (of course - with an open mind, because tourists of all cultures are notorious for wanting to be in a different place as long as it’s exactly like home “why are there no English signs”).

    But tourism absolutely creates challenges. Climate change and overtourism primarily, but social media seems to have changed the way tourists behave, with an even greater emphasis than ever on getting the right snapshots instead of experiencing the place.
