  As long as it’s not critical to you if you lose the domain I would say go for it because you have to remember that with country domains the country has control over it and can always take it away from you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty simple if you don’t own the router you don’t own the Wi-Fi. You can treat your home Wi-Fi a little bit like a public Wi-Fi and just make sure all of your devices are secure using encrypted DNS and encrypted traffic and overall not open on any unsecured ports and you should be fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do your teeth taste like?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You know the taste when the dentist drills or polishes your teeth? That is you powdered teeth and because they are powdered they have a strong enough flavor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I doing this (networking) safely?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Always risky to be exposed to the internet. unless you can’t, you should look into using tailscale/netbird to keep everything within a VPN.

  YSK that they are disgusting 🤮

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I be using Debian?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My personal journey:

  • arch is annoying to maintain and whil it is mostly stable, you do get some breaking updates here and there. It’s not a bad choice, it just doesn’t makeuch sense for a headless server.
  • Ubuntu server, just why? Works fine but why?
  • a not headless fedora, worked fine but still annoyed me sometimes
  • proxmox (debian based) works great, annoyed me to manage vm resources.
  • headless debian. Just works, I rarely if ever encounter OS issues. The only downside is that not everything can be found in the debian repos, but there is almost always an option to add a repo for whatever you want.

  My setup is mostly dockers so keep that in mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it like living in 2?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to guess, probably all come from some sort of template coin made by a single supplier or made by the same machine that has template designs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask him why it is orange?

  We know why most flames are orange, we know why steel glows red, and for the same reason (and many others) we know that the sun is white, so what his is reasoning for it’s orange color claims?

  Also ask him why sunsets and sun rises are more orange, and if he doesn’t know asj him what the color of the sky is and what color would you get if you combined all colors (white) and then removed the blue (you get yellow)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start with backups?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My setup is easy and reliable:

  Bash script that runs restic to backup to backblaze with a 90 day retention snapshot policy and a systemd service + timer.

  It runs everyday, everything is backedup to b2, and I don’t need to bother with it.

  Pros:

  • easy
  • quick
  • reliable
  • private (restic encrypts before sending)
  • don’t need to worry about multiple backups as backblaze does it for me (3-2-1 system)

  Cons:

  • costs (very little) money (backblaze is basically the cheapest provider)
  • long restore time as it would be slow to download
  • restore costs (pay per gb downloaded)
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash soaps?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It woild never happen as shampoo is meant for not just hair, but oily hair.

  Even if you had the hariest of backs, it would probably be overall better for you to use soap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Totally normal book on audible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Suspiciously close to a 32bit integer Overflow value in milliseconds (2^32^/1000/60/60=1193 hours)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cold storage solutions would be cheapest if you don’t need to access it often, if you do then Backblaze b2.

  Lastly you could do your own backup (drives sitting at a friends of family’s place?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Under normal circumstances you are right, but there is a reason why the biggest impact in human health was proper sewage systems.

  If your partner gets sick, these bacteria can be the difference between you getting infected or not.
