Enshittification is the norm for all for profit endeavours. Exceptions to this are exceedingly rare and usually just a matter of time rather than truly being an exception.
I recently got a hostinger (Titan mail) account as well with a custom domain. So far I just use it to sebd notification email (hard drive failure, ups activation etc).
Works quite well. Not sure if I’ll migrate my phone email there but I’m glad I at least started using a custom domain
Most people that have password managers are already using different passwords for each website. Usually randomly generated. What’s the difference between that and a passkey?
thanks! thats certainly useful. I’m just starting out. I’m sure everyone looks for the same thing (make sure the lights work even when the hub is down) so maybe it was too obvious to include in the description of the product.
Today I decided I would create some way of visualizing my unbound DNS requests/blocks on OPNsense. Adguard does a good job at this but I have issue with added third party repos and plugins, especially at the router level....
I’ve been rocking an ali express mini PC since 2017, started with pfsense for a year and ditched it when the devs had multiple public tantrums. Opnsense ever since then. It’s been rock solid and super stable since. Super happy I went with it!

US gives tax credits for any taxes you paid to your resident country. You therefore only pay the taxes if US taxes are higher than your resident country, which is almost never case. So really you just have to file US taxes not actually pay anything more.

I can’t believe they didn’t create any mods for BF, could easily have been like Skyrim in terms of longevity. People would have added full on trading and fleet mods like the old school Syd Meyers games. What a waste of dev time to create so much potential and justet it die.
Hi, I am looking for a SBC to self host stuff on. I would like it to be somewhat open hardware (manufacturer provides schematics and drivers are open source).

This is the course all programmers have to take before they get to take the real programming course. The purpose is to introduce programming concepts in a way that essentially anyone who is interested will be able to understand. The instructor is fantastic.
Not exactly geared towards 8yo but if you have the time and inclination, you could go through some of these videos to see how the topics are presented and then try to introduce those topics yourself to your child. Or at least look for resources that introduce them like the comment above talking about scratch.
Or better yet, maybe you both do these lectures together and learn the fundamentals of programming without getting bogged down in a specific language or with specific syntax. I’d bet that will become a core memory for any child.
We are not sustainableAnd neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of “feel good” messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year.

Don’t feel bad. Nearly all the critical systems for computers I generally represent at least 1 person’s (sometimes many peoples) life work. You can’t possibly understand every aspect of everything program your computer uses.
I suspect there is not a single person in the world that fully understands every aspect of GRUB, SSH and systemd. There is simply too many fine details in these things to understand everything.
No need to feel bad. Your biggest power is the one you take for granted: your ability to Google and educate yourself when needed. Many people can’t do that effectively.
Also remember that you can’t lose weight in a specific part of your body. As you lose weight, your body chooses where the fat is reduced. No exercise can target fat in a specific area. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something.
Should note that working on the underlying muscle might help certain areas look less fat but that effect is negligible compared to finding a regimen that works for you in the long run to keep your calorie intake less than your calorie burn rate .
So far my experience with Nextcloud has been that it is a pain in the arse to install, and once it’s installed is slow as anything. Literally couldn’t run it on my pi 3b, now got it up and running pretty nicely on a NUC but it’s still not great. Have caching set up....
The part that was a bit complex is the ‘server’ setting. My server is on my router (opnsense) so you need to opnsense specific settings.
I suspect the reason you need the extra stuff is because of how the Debian server is setup so that stuff will vary if you ever try to run another ‘server’ node. (I put server in quotes because wireguard doesn’t actually have server and client as a concept)
Two Cruise driverless taxis blocked an ambulance carrying a critically injured patient who later died at a hospital, a San Francisco Fire Department report said, in another incident involving self-driving cars in the city....
The driverless cars could have drivers assigned to monitor them 24/7 either in person or remotely until they have proven themselves for say a year. Nothing is perfect but there is a lot they can do better than the current situation.
These comments all make this seem super complicated. I have a ZFS array on proxmox that exports itself over NFS and also an unraid server that has a share exported over NFS. I mount both into docker containers as needed. I’m in my phone so I’ll just copy and paste my install notes, hope that helps:
Proxmox Host Setup for NFS: -> proxmox install NFS server: apt install nfs-kernel-server -> create a filesystem for dockerData (makes snapshots easier and limits permissions) -> zfs create zfspool1/dockerData -> zfs set sharenfs=‘rw=@192.168.37.0/24,no_root_squash’ zfspool1/dockerdata -> zfs get sharenfs (to make sure only specific file systems are shared)
unraid: -> export NFS share with ‘private’ and set rule to: 192.168.37.0/24(rw)
Docker host setup (in my case I run an alpine server VM on proxmox:
Followed by something this in the compose: arr-stack-sonarr: image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/sonarr container_name: arr-stack-sonarr volumes: - sonarr-config:/config - media-tv:/tv - media-downloads:/downloads:z
