- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 8 hours ago:
That NAS software company Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) funded has a feature for this planned I think.
An open source standalone implementation would be dope as hell. Sure, it’d mean you’d need to double your NAS capacity (as you’d have to provide enough storage as you use), but that’s way easier than building a second NAS and storing/maintaining it somewhere else or constantly paying for and managing a cloud backup.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 8 hours ago:
Yeah, people have done workarounds and stuff to get their entire NAS backed up but those seemed sketchy and bad when I looked into it.

The main differences I can think of are:
- Better video quality
- More normalized
- Easier to get your hands on
- They look like raybans and are brand name
- They’re debatibly “cool”
Basically they produce better video and are more normalized in society.

Reverse chronological just means in order of publish date, but most recent first.

Isn’t DOGE or whatever supposed to be conserving money? Doesn’t AI burn money? Is that why DOGE fired all of those people?

If YouTube ever gets rid of the reverse chronological subscriptions feed, I’m so out. I quit Twitter when they got rid of the reverse chronological feed forever ago, as it just felt useless and confusing at that point. As it is, YT is barely usable with premium, and is only enjoyable with revanced, Grayjay, and browser plugins. Sigh.

fdroidSideloading. Almost everything in fdroid can simply be sideloaded. Due to the inability to backup your app list from fdroid, I’ve completely switched to obtainium.

I probably also won’t pay full price, as I’ve already waited this long anyways, but I’ve barely seen anything about this game, let alone spoilers. Maybe you’re just in different circles than me, or browse algorithms more. It was nearly the same with the first game.

Far Cry 3 is what got me into FPS. Cyberpunk is also, of course, great.

I used NGINX with Certbot and haven’t had to manually touch anything HTTPS, it’s great.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 3 weeks ago:
You can still go to your mom’s house and get your data, unlike if you’re renting a VM.
I’m also completely not arguing that renting a VM isn’t self hosting, I’m certain I’ve said nothing of the sort, I’m just arguing that it’s worse than owning your hardware and data.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 3 weeks ago:
That’s not really the point I’m trying to make, I’m not sure where this disconnect is coming from.
The question you should be asking is whether or not I can more easily access my home than a data center, to which the answer would be yes.
If the entire world disappeared aside from the plot of land I live on, well, I’d have larger issues, but I would still be able to access my data, until the generator ran out of gas of course.
To answer the question you did ask that, again, is not relevant to the point I’m trying to make, is yes. I work from home, and live in America where we don’t have third places. Additionally, most of the services I self host are home automation and data backup based. Sure, I wouldn’t be able to access Immich or Home Assistant while away from home, which would be annoying, but the end of the world? Not really. A lot of people intentionally don’t make their HA/Immich instances visible to the internet.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what the disconnect is here. In both scenarios I’m reliant on an ISP. In the scenario where it’s on a data center, if my internet goes down or the data center goes down, I am shit out of luck. I am not capable of accessing my data. If it’s hosted at my house, I still have the ability to go home and access my stuff. One seems much better than the other to me. It’s the difference between being able to access your stuff and not.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but if stuff goes really south, I can still access the stuff on my hardware from my home. If stuff goes down, I cannot access the stuff in data centers, period.
- Comment on Installing **self-hostable** services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ??? 3 weeks ago:
This feels like a bad faith argument. If the internet goes down, I will be able to access my servers and my data. If those services were hosted in the cloud, I wouldn’t not be able to access my data at all. Obviously one is better than the other.

That’s true I suppose. The only thing I can think of is check deposits. I only do that like once per year, so I could just go to the ATM or use an old Android device.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 4 weeks ago:
Exactly, which is why not having to checkout at all would be nice.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 4 weeks ago:
Because I’d rather be doing anything else at home that I can’t do while in line at the grocery store.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 4 weeks ago:
The issue isn’t self check or in person or whatever for me, it’s having to wait in a line at all. Being able to just walk out takes so much less time than checking out.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 4 weeks ago:
For me, it isn’t the interactions, it’s the inconvenience of having to wait in line and either wait for a checker to scan my items or scan them myself at self checkout. I don’t mind small talk with the checker, but faster grocery trips would be awesome.

If they’re up 150% and it was 1000 before, it’d now be 2500. Your point still stands, of course.

If Amazon is doing better than you at serving the customer, you need to look deep inwards.
