Maybe checkout other used cars. $4k is a lot to pay out for an '02…unless you really love it.
We had a '15 that needed a bunch of work about $4k actually, we found an '04 that was in amazing mechanical condition and mint interior. So we now have an older car that is in better shape with no outlay of cash

What’s the underlying filesystem on a nextcloud server? ZFS? Or something else.
- Comment on DC UPS for router? 1 week ago:
This. My ups died after 10 years powering router and network. A replacement was $300 (for similar model) but the batteries were only $80. Just had to untape the pack and plastic adapter and transfer it over to the new battery set

GRsync is helpful so you can toggle the delete files on destination or not, based on source deletion. Other toggles also, and it shows you what the command line string would be if you did it manually

I hate the BMI and how people interpret it. When I was working out and peak condition with lots of muscle mass I was 29 to 30+ “overweight / obese”

I have no training. Moved to Linux when W10 came out, and just organically got to self hosting

I understand your rant, but also wanted to say depending on the motorcycle, that lifting it back up is a huge achievement that should be applauded.
I think my sport bike weighed 460lbs, but those Goldwings are double that.

There is so much more to fix than the right-click context menu.
Too much AI slop too.

Proton or Tuta mail. Supports aliasing so you can make unique email addresses per website, and trash them if you get spammed.
Singing up for a paid account you also get VPN, drive storage, password manager, docs, sheets, AI chat (I know), calendar, meetings and authenticator.

Thanks, wireguard was pretty easy to setup, just time consuming mapping the devices and keys between devices. But now that stage is over its all good

Well it is a post about online privacy and keeping the prying eyes out.

Based on current USA actions, I have more faith in my own country and allies. The account info and control plane is what I mean, it could get compromised being under US control where they don’t seem to Ned warrants anymore

Are these relays? I think their announcement was data server, which means USA govt would have all your tailscale keys if they decide to keep going on the fascism.

Don’t use tailscale, a few years back they moved their server storage from Canada to the USA. Use headscle or wireguard if you are tech savvy
