- Comment on What steps do you take to secure your server and your selfhosted services? 3 days ago:
Tailscale and being at my house is the only two ways in so I feel those are pretty good for me.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 6 days ago:
GN has some “regular car” EV options available. The Bolt EUV and the Equniox EV start at $27k and $35k USD. Both come with a panel of physical buttons and come with a traditional physical metal key.
Bolt:
Equinox:
The Bolt EUV is as close as you’ll get with new vehicles as far as I know in North America.
You can find a Nissan Leaf, they started production in 2010. But from what I heard the batteries degrade quickly due to how they were designed.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 1 week ago:
I’ve been using Debian on my desktop for five years now so this information might be a bit outdated, but I have recently installed Mint on my server.
In my experience Mint (and Ubuntu) have been more beginner friendly with installation and initial setup. I remember trying to install Debian on my MacBook which just crashed on bootup whereas Ubuntu worked out of the box. Mint draws from Ubuntu’s repositories which are more up to date and has more packages in it. Being able to rely on apt for installing packages has meant an easier user experience. And the last thing is that there’s just more information out there for troubleshooting Mint problems than there is for Debian in my experience.
That’s what I find. I could be wrong about some of the details

And Ubuntu Pro popup ads. Linux Mint is, from a compatibility standpoint, Ubuntu without the crap.

John Fediverse is in the middle, holding all the fediverse conmections together.
- Comment on How does Google make money from Gmail, the google calendar, drive or other services when used with third party front ends? 1 week ago:
I wonder what percentage of people access Gmail and Calendar through third party frontends in 2025. I would bet the number is very low.

- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 1 week ago:
I am a casual haha. The once or twice I write by hand with a pencil in a year I’d like to not have to track down an eraser as well.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 1 week ago:
Except they have no eraser. What good is the black tip??
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 1 week ago:
Reminds me of when I had to write a physics exam in university and it required a pencil for the Scantron cards. I basically never carried pencils so when my pencil tip broke I had to grab my utility knife out of my backpack and sharpen it to continue writing my exam.
- Comment on How did you guys get your fediverse real-time notifications to work? 2 weeks ago:
Currently, I rely on my email services to receive notifications from my fediverse social accounts.
That works well for me. I’m not a power user or anything crazy but I comment often and emails serve as notifications for me.

- Comment on Day 229 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 4 weeks ago:
Time really does fly. Enjoy the old Minecraft. There’s a certain charm of the older versions. It’s simplistic, not overwhelming with the amount of new blocks and monsters and knowledge needed.

A bit of a throwback. Reminds me of playing split screen Minecraft on the 360 with friends all night long.

Feels good on the back.
- Comment on You can now brew your very own (free) Valve-approved Steam games from the guts of Team Fortress 2 1 month ago:
My understanding is that you always could do this and people have been doing this for a long time. That’s why games like NEOTOKYO, Double Action: Boogaloo, and No More Room In Hell are free on Steam. More modding tools are great however
