- Comment on Can you run multiple servers on one machine (e.g. Raspberry Pi)? 6 days ago:
Define “server”:
If you mean any process that serves on the network well then of course you can.
If you mean multiple containerized stacks acting as a service then yes, you can do that too.
If you mean multiple operating systems, I’m not so sure but I can’t imagine that it’s impossible.
- Comment on Are passport stamps still being used? 2 weeks ago:
I’m an unwealthy American who’s only been to Mexico a handful of times and they have never stamped my passport.
- Comment on Are you still collecting discs? 2 weeks ago:
I usually buy Blu-rays then rip them. My wife has some old DVDs and a lot of them are already unreadable, so I value the redundancy of having digital copies but without the DRM.
- Comment on What is your cloud backup solution? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t use it but I would recommend Kopia due to its content-defined chunking, deduplication, etc. I’m writing a fork of it that allows any RClone adapter to work as the frontend or backend but it won’t be released for quite some time.
Otherwise I sync most my files to Backblaze by hand from time to time.
- Comment on "POSSIBLE DATA LOSS" (Excel reports, when you save a CSV) 1 month ago:
I’ve messed with both. But yeah, keeping an international mind is best. Separators are really unnecessary for data transfer so I usually just exclude them.
But yeah, one quirk is for Excel to recognize a date it has to be
YYYY-MM-DD 12:00 PMbecause it doesn’t understand ISO-8601. 😓 - Comment on "POSSIBLE DATA LOSS" (Excel reports, when you save a CSV) 1 month ago:
I’m a web developer that lets people to export to CSV and quoting things is usually the answer. Though for a number with a comma in it I’d rather not quote it and leave it as a bare integer/decimal so that the data type is correctly inferred.
Speaking of, I have a handful of hacks I do specifically for Excel so that it infers types correctly — it needs more prodding than other applications importing CSV.
- Comment on Why can't I access this service over the LAN? 1 month ago:
Be careful if there’s a public IP address. I think some operating systems even include IPv6 with
0.0.0.0so that if there’s a public one assigned this might open it up to the world. - Comment on Self-hosted analytics and the infrastructure cost of privacy 1 month ago:
For me it’s also the same with “hubby”
- Comment on Auth apps 2 months ago:
I second PocketID if all you’re looking for is Passkeys + forward-auth. The others are overkill.

Dying for SB-868 in California myself.
- Comment on E-mail archive browser for gmail takeout files (.mbox) 2 months ago:
I’d just add both Gmail and another email account to a desktop email client, then simply drag the emails from one provider to the other.
- Comment on What are Facebook’s worst scandals? 2 months ago:
They’re just happening so often that I wouldn’t even know what to filter it down to.
- Comment on RaspBerry with YunoHost randomly crashing 2 months ago:
I really tried to use a “usb” install for a long time but could never get kernel upgrades (and some other packages) to work correctly.
These days I do a “sys” install but mount
/var/logand some other directories to RAM. - Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 1 year ago:
It’s important if you’re using flash drives although even that’s pretty rare these days. My wife has run into this problem by formatting as NTFS (GUID partition table) when print shops’ terrible machines only support FAT32 and/or MBR partition tables.
Thankfully our Macs understand NTFS otherwise those formatted drives from her Windows work computer wouldn’t even work at home.
- Comment on Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? 1 year ago:
One day our Linux servers were hosed at work because the Windows server hosting them got all fucked up during Cloudstrike. I’ll never understand why you’d host Linux on Windows rather than the other way around.
- Comment on Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? 1 year ago:
It’s very rough coming back after 20+ years. Easy things on Linux quickly become a wasted day going down six trillion rabbit holes on Windows before you can even accomplish your seemingly simple task. Most problems in Windows are much more easily resolved by booting into Linux to make the repairs.
- Comment on Backup for important files/pictures? 1 year ago:
Storj Tardigrade with client-side encryption. I use rclone so you could even encrypt it before hitting the Storj library if you’re extra paranoid (among other things like caching, chunking, etc).
