I use borg backup to a Hetzner storage box, which costs $5 a month.

For a gui interface, I’ve been using Pika backup.

To call out the elephant in the room: What happens when Microsoft shuts down the servers or is bankrupt?

Doesn’t Github give you Github Pages access for free?

Nah, autistics feel emotions more strongly than neurotypicals. It’s just nobody else seems to listen. :P

Oh, the maga manga.

Dealing with Windows’ bootloader is a pain in my experience. At least with Linux there’s good documentation and tooling.

Even if he allows AI contributions, Linus feels like the type to call out slop loudly when he sees it.

My understanding is that they usually go for the sites that distribute the content now, rather than individuals. Having an open Jellyfin instance looks like the latter rather than the former.

There was an old Flash game called Pandemic 2. Iirc, there wasn’t a Pandemic 1, which struck me as odd.

People exfiltrating movies from your Jellyfin account sounds harmless until you get a knock on the door from the police asking why you’re running a piracy sharing site. Depending on the attacker’s level of access, they may also wonder why your server is now serving kiddie fiddling videos. Or maybe the attacker just replaces all your movie metadata images with ones from the Bee Movie.

To me at least, DOS and region locking should come after properly locking down public facing services. They aren’t 100% reliable at preventing intrusions.

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a large difference between the power usage of a cpu at rest (like most servers will be) and one at full power. Especially if it had a gpu in it. They certainly sound a lot louder in my experience.

You can never be truly sure how bad a compromised system has been compromised, or even easily detect when it has happened. It could be running as part of a botnet, stealing your credentials or probing your local/mesh network.

In my eyes, competent cybersecurity abilities are an important part of selhosting which seems to fall by the wayside. It’s important to know exactly what your server is doing, what is running and who has access. If your system is on the public internet, you have a moral obligation to behave and not have it turn into a botnet or spam machine.

This “someone else” being… A C API header which can’t be copyrighted/copylefted anyway?

I think we should have an AI tag, and “not AI” should be the default (otherwise we add “non-” versions of every tag and post titles are a list of what something isn’t instead of what it is).

Imo, a lot of the tools here have a high security requirement. Either because they handle personal/private information and/or are exposed to the public internet. AI use is a red flag to me that the developer hasn’t properly considered all the security implications of their product.

I hate that I can’t tell if this is a reference to something that actually happened or not.

Bro opening his ad with a story like a cooking recipie.

But yeah, iirc KeepassX is the gold standard for this type of thing, right?

They need to actually be really careful with that - Gamepass is I think one of the main things keeping gamers on Windows. Fuck up gamepass during the Gabecube’s release and people may start seriously wondering why they put up with Windows.

I think that’s the main idea behind a slow cooker? Chuck some veggies into a pot, then later you have something nice.

Thing is, a lot of good apps use gtk and so you have to put up with adwaita even if you don’t normally run a Gnome desktop.

Likewise, if you’re writing an application you have to handle gnome’s nonstandard way of doing window decorations for it to run on gnome shell.

I love how you need to stretch out positives for gnome to have that many. “Uh… It’s popular? And some of the applications have good names, I guess?”

This is your regular reminder that docker isn’t a sandboxing solution and shouldn’t be treated as one.

Nextcloud. It does the job well enough.
