I use Jottacloud for off site restic backups. You have to use rclone, but it’s not too tricky. I don’t know how well it works outside of Europe. It’s cheap and can store terabytes of data!

We have two water faucets that have handles that are 90° off. I really want to fix them, but I’m terrified of plumbing. 😞

Using some very basic security, like minimal services and keeping stuff patched and having backups, and you’re probably fine. I’ve run stuff locally at home for decades and never had a security issue as far as I know. (I did have a problem with a hosted server that I shared with some friends 20 years ago, because at that time updating Fedora was a hassle and we let it get behind on updates.)

Your eu.cc domains are fine. You don’t need to spend money on a 2nd-level domain if you’re happy with the longer name.

For comparison, I’ve had a nl.eu.org domain for decades, and never had any issues. I also had a number of .tk domains for a while and those all went away when the business managing the domain got sued out of existence. I currently use nom.es domains for various tests.

Awesome for other cars but shit for cyclists or pedestrians.

You never know. I thought Devuan was a fantasy but the team’s burning hatred was enough to make it work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah great. It looks like you have a mostly empty encrypted partition with LVM on top of it. If memory serves you might be able to resize the logical volume and the ext4 filesystem in a single command.

I prefer file systems that checksum data. Without this it is difficult to know when there has been corruption. I generally use brtfs for this reason.

Tim Apple does make a good villain…

I’ll be by later today to pick up your cat, so I can watch The Wrath of Khan with it, as you have encouraged. 😉

To each their own. I hate living outside a city.

I’m happy that you enjoy it, but “no good to anyone” is just wrong. 😅

Bless you, comrade.

Super interesting! I have a jar with a lid that I tried to scale up and the threads just fail. I wonder if I can try some overgang magic on it. 🤔

Is a half yard like 1/14⅖th of a centner? 😉

(Sorry, I find ye olde English measurements endlessly amusing!)

An almost inevitable result of venture capital, IMHO.

A lot of dictators die peacefully in their sleep a night. 😞

I mean, you can get rid of NAT and subnet your systems in a logical fashion. That’s pretty awesome.

I use ULA for my WireGuard tunnels, otherwise it’s all public IPv6 (mostly lightly firewalled).

I’m fine with SLAAC, even for servers. I just manually update my DNS with the server addresses when I set them up.

I give money to LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Armbian, the Wikipedia, and so on. I don’t have to, but it shows my appreciation, and maybe helps them do more in some small way.

Very minor note. The blog mentions that the attacker was unlikely to have gained anything by Monero mining. However the Monero page itself says:

Monero can be mined by both CPUs and GPUs, but the former is much more efficient.
