  • What is your favorite kitchen gadget?

    Jump

  • Kenwood Kitchenaid-type thing. Pretty heavy duty, because it's mostly used for bread dough.

    I learned to make breads without it and still occasionally do (well... Mostly when I'm somewhere else, I guess), and there is nothing wrong with kneading by hand.

    It's just so much more convenient and so much less cleanup to let the machine do it. Especially the cleanup part is huge.

  • You do not need your fingerprint or any other biometric to use a passkey.

    You do not lose access to passkeys when you lose your device.

  • Yes, and I do werether the recipient also knows how to use it.

    So, for like, 1% of my mails.

  • More like: paying someone to maintain the hardware.

    Anyways.

    Just FYI, your mails with a provider like Proton are not E2E encrypted unless you exclusively wrote with other Proton customers (in which case I assume they are. No idea). Otherwise it's just encrypted at rest.

    I dint really see the benefit over doing it completely yourself, not even offering metadata to a provider, and also having encryption at rest, while maintaining full compatibility with mail clients 🤔

  • You can store Passkeys in open source password managers.

    I don't know most of my passwords, so the step to passkeys doesn't feel like a big one. I also really like the flow of pressing Login; Bitwarden pops up a prompt without me initiating it; I press confirm. Done, logged in, and arguably more secure due to the surrounding phishing and shared secrets benefits.

  • We host most stuff at home, and then additionally some services at Hetzner on an (auctioned) root server. Bloody nice to get really good hardware for cheap, plus unlimited data with either 1 or 10Gbit synchronous network speed, a dedicated IPv4,...

    Stuff like my mail server lives there because it HAS to be available, and doing it at home, and doing it well, is next to impossible.

    I'm planning a nix hydra + cache server, which will probably also live on the Hetzner server, simply because it'll have pretty intense jobs to run a lot of the time and I'm not a fan of having the noise of spun-up fans at home.

    Both solutions have their place, is what I'm saying / agreeing.

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump
    • every VM with state backs up its state to the NAS once a day
    • client devices rsync most of their home folder to the NAS once an hour
    • at 3:15 in the morning, a Borg backup job starts pushing the days changes to a Hetzner storage box

    Through borg, I have the Option to go back to any point in time with the backups. I will probably never need this, hence why it happens in this step, not on the rsync job to the NAS.

    Things like movies and tv shows are not backed up, they are replaceable. All in all, about 2tb of documents, pictures, and VM state is backed up to Hetzner, out of the 16tb on the NAS.

    Pick and choose your battles.

  • What open source project is the most exciting for you right now?

    Jump

  • Nah. In Europe, Venmo is just not a thing, because bank transfers are free and fast. IDs are a plastic card, just like almost everywhere else.

    Banking apps are a bit more problematic, because most people (and probably banks, idk) prefer if you use those not just if you have a smartphone and want to do banking on it, but also as a second factor for when you want to log in on your desktop.

    There's plenty of alternatives (TAN readers, for example), but none as simple or seamless, unfortunately. But bank websites are fully featured (and usually more so than the app, actually).

  • What's your silly little website.

    Jump

  • Fantastic. Best use of language models I've seen.

  • Using Vim is Amazing

    Jump

  • Cope

  • The Framework/Omarchy thing.

    Jump

  • Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I

    Jump

  • Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.

  • If you don't mind saying, where in the show are you currently? Because depending on that, "MC last Minute heel turn" can mean drastically different things

  • Say your partner is gone for around a week, and you're home alone. What are you going to do that you wouldn't normally with someone around?

    Jump

  • Nah. She is a night-owl and always stays up for hours later than myself. Which makes it really hard to get up from the couch and go to bed for me in turn.
