  Yeah, the RAM shortage is definitely to blame on Electron. Won’t someone please think of the poor AI companies who have to give an arm and a leg to get a single stick of RAM!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker security⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  +1 for Podman. I’ve found rootful Podman Quadlets to be a very nice alternative to Docker Compose, especially if you’re using systemd anyway for timers, services, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping .yaml files up to date...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you also use FreshRSS, you can configure filters to automatically mark new articles as read (e.g. !intitle:‘beta’). Since I only view unread articles, that effectively deletes them and I never have to see them!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosted calendar⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely, that’s what I’m doing as well. I’ve found some to be lacking (e.g. music) for my needs, but most of them are good enough for most use cases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosted calendar⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using Nextcloud as well, but I’ll admit that it’s probably a bit heavy if all one needs is a calendar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are stopping shipments to the US - Kiwix⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bulk shipping requires storage and logistics infrastructure. Either way Temu and the likes will also be hit by increased costs, though I can’t say if the impact is comparable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I agree, I think we’re past the point of preventing normalization.

  What’s the problem with the Digital Services Act?

  Thanks for the hint! I didn’t know this setting existed and of course it was enabled by default… What happened to informed consent?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calendar Options *other* than Tuta / Proton⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no experience with inviting others to calendar events since I only use this setup for my personal calendar - sorry

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calendar Options *other* than Tuta / Proton⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk about E2EE, but I’m using self-hosted Nextcloud. Using CalDAV, you can integrate virtually any app. On Android I’m using DAVx5 and Fossify Calendar.

  The advantage of Nextcloud is that it provides a lot of things in one package such as contacts, tasks, notes, files, etc. If you don’t need those, it might be better to look at some of the other suggestions that only provide calendars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does the 3-2-1 rule look like for you?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Backblaze B2 for one offsite backup in “the cloud” and have two local HDDs. Using restic with rclone as storage interface, the whole thing is pretty easy.

  A cronjob makes daily backups to B2, and once per month I copy the most current snapshot from B2 to my two local HDDs.

  I have one planned improvement: Since my server needs programmatic access to B2, malware on it could wipe both the server and B2, leaving me with the potentially one-month old local backups. Therefore I want to run a Raspberry Pi at my parents’ place that mirrors the B2 repository daily but is basically air-gapped from the server. Should the B2 repository be wiped, the Raspberry Pi would still retain its snapshots.
