- Comment on How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P? 3 days ago:
i feel like you may not really understand how basic the average user is.
for example, most have never even been near people who know what tor is. and as the technical-info proxy for an absurd number of humans the number of people asking me how to be 'uncensored' on the internet is zero. its fucking zero.

- Comment on Recommendations for data backup solutions ? 4 days ago:
i spose...
my anecdote;
ive been runnin drives like this for 30 years. ive literally never had a cold storage drive go bad out of the case.. mostly because their hourly use rate is kept so incredibly low. even back in the day of very unreliable drives..
they even retain their data better than modern ssds
- Comment on Recommendations for data backup solutions ? 4 days ago:
3 methods for me...
- (daily) live nas backup (I have 2 of these mirrored for giggles)
- (90 days) cold, manual copy of nas data to drive stored in pelican case
- (live) cheap cloud storage of essential data in backblaze encrypted vault (duplicati)

- Comment on Knowing how to do many things while not specialising at anything is the perfect way to be replaceable at work. 1 month ago:
it scales with the size of the company.
you need jack-of-all-trades when youre starting out, proof of concept type stuff or your business is just niche and tiny. you sometimes cant just immediately pay for every role.
as the company grows you replace each hat worn by that one individual with a laser focused employee who can do it better.
eventually, the jack is out of hats.

absolutely correct. humans have been scamming humans since inception, and the best methods last the longest.

- Comment on Simplify home hardware for selfhosting 2 months ago:
im a firm believer in task appropriate stuff.. 24/7 server apps should be on a dedicated server box.. network storage should only perform storage tasks. i wouldnt use a primary workstation also as server cuz i want to do crazy shit on my workstation. i wouldnt ever want to interfere with my 'production' stuff on the server.
ive been quite happy running a headless server and various nas boxes for storage redundancy.. my home related i.t. tasks are very minimal now that everything is solidly automated.
