  • Sweet. I hope forgejo et al become more popular.

    I strongly encourage Microsoft to keep making all their products worse while destroying user trust. It's a brilliant strategy that can make the world a better place.

  • Appears to be legit. That domain (robpike.io) isn't his homepage but it is his, inferring from his github repos and go packages.

    The post is real and the account appears to own that domain (needs TXT record), so it seems genuine.

  • Others have answered most questions but I just wanted to point out a few things:

    NAS is network attached storage: a separate server which makes 'shares'/volumes available over the local network. A DAS is 'direct attached storage' which plugs directly into a machine. Since you have a server, a NAS is probably the right route. https://www.techradar.com/features/das-vs-nas-what-is-the-difference

    Good that you mentioned both backups and redundancy as they're not the same. https://www.tencentcloud.com/techpedia/108368

    Some people want a dedicated machine for being a NAS, while others want to make use of the hardware by making it pull double-duty as a server. I have an old PC I loaded up with drives and installed truenas on: I made zfs pools (opposed to raid) and exposed shares to the network. I can set up virtual machines or use "plugins" / jails for hosting other services like immich etc. E.g. https://www.truenas.com/docs/solutions/integrations/nextcloud/

    Regarding backup versioning, modern filesystems like zfs and brfs have snapshot features. Regarding "one backup", it depends how important it is to you. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/

  • The colloquial meaning is different from a topological definition. Anything with a through-hole has a hole at each end. It's an ambiguous question because the answer depends whether you're referring to a openings in the face of the object (a cylinder in the case of a straw) or the void connecting the surface openings. Perhaps the safest answer is inclusive, so three. I've been told I'm not fun at parties.

  • On the plus side, it's a good sign for Linux that even people like this want to run the fuck away from the monstrosity that Windows has become.

  • Some computer repair places specialize in Mac and windows, but there are many who don't have those restrictions (and they're usually more competent). You'll just need to do some searching.

    You're bound to have problems no matter what OS you run, but some are more complicated and higher maintenance than others. If you want to switch to Linux then I'd recommend Linux Mint or Ubuntu usually, but maybe something like Fedora Silverblue (or any other immutable distro) if you value stability and safety; particularly for workstations. Those sorts of distros do 'atomic updates' and let you roll back easily if anything fucks up, opposed to a traditional Linux experience where you can get screwed by a partial or corrupted update.

    However, while Windows is terrible, it may be better to stick with it if you just need something that works, particularly for work, or if you need to use software which might not work (or work properly) on Linux.

    But if you're feeling bold, take the plunge and try something new. Just remember to keep backups of anything important and maybe keep a few installer USBs handy (maybe one for windows and one for your chosen Linux) just in case something goes wrong and you need a fresh start, or wanna run back to what you're used to.

  • No I haven't. Since AJ, the only podcast I've watched has been LinusTechTips' WANshow (and Level1Techs [prev. Tek Syndicate] very rarely). I've never really been big into the format.

    I watch Belle of the Ranch for political commentary, news, and anything that matters. Vaush, SomeMoreNews, and a bunch of urbanist channels like Not Just Bikes for pol / pol-adjacent entertainment.

  • No useful tips for deprogramming, I'm afraid. The two most critical things was an honest desire to know the truth / challenge my own beliefs, and learning empathy which helped a bunch. The rest was part of a larger shift in my life.

    (Edit: Not being entirely isolated in the crazy is probably the most reproducible aspect. Gaining contact with people outside of that sphere was important, though my motivations can't be replicated...)

    Paragraph 2 from the long version AKA my life story and shift to the left

    As a teen I was big into Alex Jones and conspiracy theories to the point of losing friends before it was cool (pre-maga). Unfortunately for him, I took his advice and “did my own researcher”; becoming more disillusioned with his bullshit the more I learned. For one example, there was a great analysis paper on the sorts of energies and temperatures involved in 9-11, whose models perfectly matched the real world structural damage: no thermite or lasers needed. I bought into the h1n1 vax hoax from Ventura after I had the shot and thought I’d be crippled when then turned on the signal or whatever… But I wasn’t. Same with the Fukushima disaster Alex fearmongered about; turns out we’re not in a radioactive apocalypse. Retrospectively: he had a terrible track record for predictions.

    But I also fell in love with a cute lefty boy around the tail end of my Alex Jones phase of life, which certainly spurred a lot of change and self-reflection... I had already started cutting through a teeny tiny bit of the bullshit myself, but that really pushed things along and on a grander scale.
