Higgs boson

I run Pihole+Unbound, Debian baremetal on a tinypc. RPi was too unreliable. I was too often dealing with issues.

My router is the failback, as it has blocking too.

My PC was HAL_9000 for over a decade. It got tedious to type, so it’s now just “box.”

I skimmed that article but didnt get the joke until I came back. BRB, making a new gmail account.

Very German of you.

My first computer job was at a college that used names from ancient history and mythology. So I mostly still do that. Medea is my plex server. Zeus and Hera are the hosts for docker and VMs. Heimdall is the router.

The only break in the pattern is my storage, which is currently NASC and NASD…

Oh and my personal machine used to be HAL_9000 (complete with wallpaper and theme sounds) but now I just name it “box.”

I do not expose Nextcloud to the internet. I use dnsmasq to give LAN clients the private IP. If I need to access NC from elsewhere, there’s VPN for that.

I believe the word you’re looking for is “kludgey.”

Killing off PHP is big

This is what I do with my Asus AX mesh setup, running a Merlin fork (gnuton).

My background is in enterprise software, so that is obviously different than a desktop tool for individual use, but it informs my opinions.

In general it depends on the use (is it “production” critical, etc) as well as the update and distribution mechanisms.

I have several (mostly for windows) FOSS projects i have stopped using or just rarely update because they require too many steps to update, and/or do so too often.Or they require a reboot. Some of them prompt for an update every time I start them. Feh.

That said, if there isn’t much friction like testing cycles or manual steps to update, I want faster updates.

Most of my self-hosted stuff falls into the category of getting updates via package managers or docker. Those are often seemless and do not require manual steps.

Shades of bootstrapping Gentoo and spending two weeks of compute compiling Firefox because reasons.

I use Joplin on top of Nextcloud.

Hello everybody,

Alex from Immich here. What a controversy that we caused with the choice of wording, right? My personal apology to you all.

On behalf of the team, we would like everyone to know that we hear your concerns and we appreciate the love and care that you all have expressed for the project. At the end of the day, what we want most is to make sure you are all happy using the app.

With that said, we are working on a change to the word license: we will not call it licensed or unlicensed anymore. What will it be called?

We are still thinking of different options to make the wording less confusing. The new wording will hopefully showcase our intentions properly going forward.

We’re also working on updating the FAQ with more information to clarify those intentions. We just want to provide good software that people will want to pay for whilst not limiting your usage in any way if you can’t.

So expect these changes over the next week. We’re pushing this out now to let you know our appreciation for the feedback you’ve given us.

The amount of purchases in the first 24 hours has been overwhelming. Thanks everyone for the great support!

Have a great weekend!

Immich team.

In an attempt to get a more consistent experience across my machines, I recently started using Tabby (and oh-my-zsh.) Not sure if it checks all the boxes yet, but I like it.

setting up memcache was the biggest improvement for me.
