  I run PiHole on mine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people afford the upfront cost of solar?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Make sure to do the math if solar is even worth it for you. Electricity is relatively cheap in my area. When I did the math, it would take me at least 20 years to break even (that’s if I paid cash, even longer if I finance). Considering 25 years is an average panels lifespan, it would not save me any money.

  Not on TV. Who the duck wants to watch vertical 60second videos on a 16:9 TV?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The best decision YouTube ever did.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No, the best decision would be if they allowed us to disable shorts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendations for fetching paperless bills?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but you have to log in to the company’s portal and click through their menus to get the PDFs. I wish eBill/eStatements would mean sending them over email, that would be easy to set up an automated way to grab them and file them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to send bulk/mass email. 10,000-100,000 one-time emails, or thousands per day. Set up your own web server for newsletters. Mailchimp alternative⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  legitimate (non spam) bulk email

  I don’t think there’s such a thing, all bulk emails is spam to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you facilitate remote access?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I stay away from anything not selfhosted. Any third party, no matter how good and friendly it seems now, will eventually screw you once they get big.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia starts blocking VPN at the protocol (WireGuard, OpenVPN) level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love all my fellow Russians and Ukrainians who rise above the brainwashing that this commenter is demonstrating.

  Fuck patriotism and slogans, that’s what politicians want you to do to die for them. All wars would be over in a day if people just realized this as politicians can’t fight their wars without people like this commenter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Cloud Is a Prison. Can the Local-First Software Movement Set Us Free?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Us, selfhosters - sure.

  Average person who value convenience over privacy/cost - no. They’ll continue to pay and be in prisoned by the cloud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker & Databases. Stack or Individual?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only do I prefer separate db for each stack, ideally the db and app are in the same container. Fewer containers to manage and makes the app nice and self-contained.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Home Assistant - am I missing something?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  HA is geared towards selfhosted, locally controlled stuff (zwave, ZigBee, mqqt, local WiFi, etc). Because the cloud and privacy invasion is the mainstream, HA may require a bit more tweaking and technical knowledge to get up and running.

  With that said, once you get it to how you want it, it’s been working rock solid for me for a few years now. I’ve built my house around HA automations and can’t imagine living without it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there something similar to google search site:reddit.com blahblah ? for lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
