• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like this is a no brainer to me. I’m a step parent to a brilliant kid who’s father is a complete narcissist, and I’ll tell you this, if a parent tells you to dislike the other parent, don’t trust them without evidence. Make your own decision, and listen to the parent that let’s you make it. A caveat is that a better parent probably won’t tell you all of the bad things they’ve had to deal with, and it’s important to remember that everyone is human and makes mistakes.

  It’s ok to have a relationship with both parents, and it sounds like you know which parent to trust. That doesn’t mean you need to cut your mom out of your life, you just get to have a different kind of relationship with her. I’m a fan of honesty, if either parent does something you don’t like, tell them so and ask them to stop. If they won’t, you’ve got a real good answer as to who you want to spend your time with.

  🤔 I wonder if they’ll hire an American who barely dabbles in self hosting and doesn’t speak a gram of German.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨public services of an entire german state switches from Microsoft to open source (Libreoffice, Linux, Nextcloud, Thunderbird)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not seeing nextcloud mentioned in the article. If they are moving to nextcloud, I wish them the best. It’s great for my personal use, but from my experience it’s lacking in what I would expect in a work environment. With a government entity coming to use them, it would be fantastic to see some improvements on them because they’re almost there.

  I upgraded my 7 year old 4tb drives with 14tb drives (both setups raid1). A week later, one of the 14tb drives failed. It was a tense time waiting for a new drive and the 24 hours or so for resilvering. No issues since, but boy was that an experience. I’ve since added some automated backup processes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fake keepass repo on github⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve used Linux for 15+ years.

  Install from the repositories, if it isn’t in your “app store” or installed using apt or yum or whatever your distro package manager is, don’t bother with it until you’re more familiar with Linux.

  Your system is 99%+ of the time going to be secure as long as you don’t install something sketch. You need to install it, it won’t just happen on it’s own, things can be hidden behind copy paste instructions so be sure you have a good idea of what each step does if you’re doing that (I’ve never come across this in the wild, FYI). The other small percentage is a bug or something in packages (see the xz debacle) which you have little control over. The best thing you can do is just keep packages up to date.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Check if there’s alternatives to what you use in Windows, or if there’s a Linux version. Decide if you need to use the windows program, or if the Linux equivalent will work. There may be a learning curve to using a different program, but I haven’t yet really found anything that doesn’t have an equivalent that isn’t a program paired with hardware that will only work with each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Raspberry Pies (is that how you pluralize it?), and especially their SD cards are not the most reliable pieces of hardware. I’ve already had a few die on me.

  I grabbed a le potato with an emmc module a little while back and recently got a rock 3c with an emmc slot. I doubt think I can ever go back to microSD based SBCs. I have a good handful of pis from the first one to the 4. Each one of those has chewed up at least one card until I made a point to buy high quality microsds. They do work quite well if you don’t have them reading and writing from the card much, so if it’s just running as an appliance it should be able to last a while.

  But yeah, I regularly dd my sd cards so I have a backup of a clean setup and a more recent one that I can revert to if I lose a card. Which reminds me, I should probably do that with my pihole, since it’s somehow become that one brick keeping my entire network functioning.

  Mine is raspberry pi zero 2w with an external enclosure attached to solar+battery. Wi-Fi is barely consistent enough for speeds around 1/4 what they should be. I’m still working out the kinks, but thanks be to FSM for rsync and snapshots, otherwise my backup scheme would probably never be able to finish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, I just spent a week (very intermittently) trying to figure out where all my free space had gone, turns out it was a bunch of abandoned docker volumes taking up. I have 32gb on my laptop, so space is at an absolute premium.

  I guess I learned my lesson about trying out docker containers on my laptop just to check them out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backblaze responds to claims of “sham accounting,” customer backups at risk - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m doing a 5-4-3-2-1 method. 5 backups. 4 on-site. 3 attached to one machine, 2 of those are on separate external usb drives synced at different intervals. 1 in the shed.

  2009 was the year of the Linux…laptop

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, that makes sense. I thought they were talking about laptop, desktop, kids computer, tablet, etc. and was like ¿…? Linux works next to everything better than anything else.

  Anyway, I see what you mean. I got a temperature monitor that needed to be set up using their proprietary software that they only made for Windows, wine didn’t work so I actually ended up setting up a tiny win 10 VM so I could set it up. Easier and safer than dual booting with Windows around. Besides that though, I’ve always been able to find a workaround.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fully self-hosted password manager options⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do similar, except nextcloud and backups beyond just syncing. I fear something corrupting my database and that syncing immediately through all my devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are your parents "supposed" to be your role models?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Your role models are your own. If you aren’t modeling your behavior after your parents, then they aren’t your role models, straight up. You may model certain behaviors from them, but not others.

  Break it down a smidge. What role are you modeling? If you had a really good teacher in the past, and you use how they taught you to teach someone else, they are the role model for you when teaching someone, but they aren’t your role model for something like how to treat your partners.

  That’s the neat thing about being your own person. You get to be who you want, treat people how you want. Your role models are who you want them to be. I would caution against being an asshole, though. Don’t model asshole behavior.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean? I’ve never had any issues with multiple devices. They’re… Just different devices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  EDIT: Wow! thanks for all the detailed and super quick replies! I’ve been reading all the comments here and am concluding that (even though I am currently running only one service) it might be interesting to start using Docker to run all (future) services seperately on the server!

  This is pretty much what I’ve started doing. Containers have the wonderful benefit that if you don’t like it, you just delete it. If you install on bare metal (at least in Linux) you can end up with a lot of extra packages getting installed and configured that could affect your system in the future. With containers, all those specific extras are bundled together and removed at the same time without having any effect on your base system, so you’re always at your clean OS install.

  I will also add an irritation with docker containers as well, if you create something in a container that isn’t kept in a shared volume, it gets destroyed when starting the container again. The container you use keeps the maintainers setup, for instance I do occasional encoding of videos in a handbrake container, I can’t save any profiles I make within that container because it will get wiped next time I restart the container since it’s part of the container, not on any shared volume.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Applying 'extreme heat' to lithium-ion batteries reportedly restores their capacity, and I think it's the sustainable tech breakthrough of 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Its actually the “went to church, talented white folk there”, posted by “fren”, somehow they learned random old dude was “88” which has no bearing on the story and isn’t usually something that comes up in short conversations, and the “I was like <common behavior from easily influenced person> before I did these things”

  It gives recruitment/fishing vibes to me. If 100 people read it and 99 see ADHD and move on, but 1 person asks them how they could also feel good about themselves, boom, one more Nazi recruit. That’s how dog whistles work. You toss an innocuous thing like “88” in your story, it let’s those in the know that you’re part of the team and you’re on the job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can forgive the ram decision, they’re producing laptops that can be upgraded in the future to keep them from becoming waste, not upgraded using old equipment now.

  I actually do have 2230 ssds laying around. I bought a few used computers on eBay to use as servers that had 128gb versions of these little shits in them that I had assumed were 2.5" not m.2. Wouldn’t use them in a new laptop for me, but it’s plenty enough for a school laptop or device that isn’t storing data on that particular drive.

  I’m not going to rag on them for going with this form factor, because they are very conscious about their designs, but it isn’t like it’s hard to accommodate a range of m.2 sizes. You just need a little hole you can screw the mounting…screw into. Like, maybe you can’t fit a 2280 in there, but from what I’ve seen 2242 is more common than 2230.

  My Xperia z3c from 2014 would be perfectly fine to use right now if Google didn’t absolutely bloat the crap out of their products and it had an easily replaceable battery. If companies would just support their products for longer or release the sources when it’s out of support i probably would have skipped several phone upgrades. But that’s probably exactly why they don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure you could. But I’ll offer a different perspective

  All honey tastes different from different producers and areas, you’ll be missing out on some wonderful honey flavors if you buy that much in bulk. If it’s purely for sweetening, sure fine, do it. But if you want the flavor of honey, check out a farmers market and see what you’d be missing out on with bulk.

  To neurotypicals this sounds like you don’t want to put in the work. A better way to phrase it would be “I’m just trying to see how busy today will be” you can follow it with bullshit like “trying to decide if I’ll be cooking dinner or picking something up on my way home”
