Backups need to be reliable and I just can’t rely on a community of volunteers or the availability of family to help.
So yeah I pay for S3 and/or a VPS. I consider it one of the few things worth it to pay a larger hosting company for.

I’m from the Midwest US and I know there are words and sounds I pronounce with a Midwestern accent but I can still type and spell them correctly.
If’n I typ lik dis den o’course people gonna think I hev the big dumb or that I’m a mole from a Redwall book.
Look upon what thou has twat and ponder it.
Unironically Powershell is great and learning it has propelled me through the last 12 years of my career as a Sysadmin. My biggest complaints with it are generally Windows complaints or due to legacy powershell modules.
If magic was real, expert magic users would not trust it at all.
“Haha yeah I mostly do transfiguration magic but I do some evocation too occasionally. No I don’t eat any transfigured food or do any of that at home or anything honestly I’m surprised it works at all.”
My default is to generate a 32 character password and store it in a password manager. Doesn’t matter to me how many characters it has since I’m just going to copy and paste it anyway.
Pretty surprising how many places enforce shorter passwords though… I had a bank that had a maximum character limit of 12. I don’t bank with them anymore. Short password limits is definitely is an indicator of bad underlying security practices.
I intentionally do not host my own git repos mostly because I need them to be available when my environment is having problems.
I make use of local runners for CI/CD though which is nice but git is one of the few things I need to not have to worry about.
I can tell the time perfectly well unless someone asks me what time it is. Then my brain is completely useless and I just have to twist my wrist around awkwardly to show them.
No need to optimize when you can just push people to upgrade their hardware more frequently so you make fat stacks of cash from OEM’s.
I’ve been testing Bazzite out on a variety of hardware. It’s very easy to setup and required no additional fiddling at all to get working, even with an Nvidia card which is the usual source of Linux gaming frustrations.
If you’re used to the limitations of the Steam Deck OS and haven’t had any issues there then you should have a good experience with Bazzite which is presented in a very similar way even if it’s a little different under the hood.
Bazzite is basically exactly this already. If you have an AMD gpu you can boot straight into steam. The desktop mode uses KDE like the Steam Deck and the package manager makes it much easier to layer in additional system packages which is kind of a pain on the Deck. Plus there are some additional gaming specific tweaks popularized by tools like cryoutility included by default.
Do you have any links or guides that you found helpful? A friend wanted to try this out but basically gave up when he realized he’d need an Nvidia GPU.
I’ve been testing Ollama in Docker/WSL with the idea that if I like it I’ll eventually move my GPU into my home server and get an upgrade for my gaming pc. When you run a model it has to load the whole thing into VRAM. I use the 8gb models so it takes 20-40 seconds to load the model and then each response is really fast after that and the GPU hit is pretty small. After I think five minutes by default it will unload the model to free up VRAM.
Basically this means that you either need to wait a bit for the model to warm up or you need to extend that timeout so that it stays warm longer. That means that I cannot really use my GPU for anything else while the LLM is loaded.
I haven’t tracked power usage, but besides the VRAM requirements it doesn’t seem too intensive on resources, but maybe I just haven’t done anything complex enough yet.
I’ve been using ZFS now for a few years for all my data drives/pools but I haven’t gotten brave enough to boot from it yet. Snapshotting a system drive would be really handy.
Burger place with yellowed ceiling tiles and a laminated menu? That shit is gonna be good.
I thought it was just a meme.
I see way more complaints about ‘elitist Arch users’ than I ever do comments from actual elitist Arch users.
DuckDNS is great… but they have had some pretty major outages recently. No complaints, I know it’s an extremely valuable free service but it’s worth mentioning.
Cloudflare has an api for easy dynamic dns. I use oznu/docker-cloudflare-ddns to manage this, it’s super easy:
docker run \
-e API_KEY=xxxxxxx \
-e ZONE=example.com \
-e SUBDOMAIN=subdomain \
oznu/cloudflare-ddns
Then I just make a CNAME for each of my public facing services to point to ‘subdomain.example.com’ and use a reverse proxy to get incoming traffic to the right service.
Google is stuck because they can’t actually improve user experience without threatening their revenue model.
I’ve had exactly this happen to me. It was my own fault but it took a bit of work figure out.
