Vanilla nginx is still too far over my head, but Nginx Proxy Manager makes easy work of it.

A lot of people like Caddy but I’ve never tried it. The config files are much simpler and it auto-renews certificates (but so does Nginx Proxy Manager).

I enjoyed my quick visit to that place.

Is it maybe because of physical distance? How far is your VPS from the Backblaze region? Check the bucket “S3 Region”. I’m stuck on west, for example, even though I live on the other side of the country. There’s a way to switch, but I haven’t had the need to bother with it.

Self hosting a calendar isn’t too difficult. I use NextCloud personally, but as the saying goes “it’s overkill for your specific requirements”. Nothing wrong with overkill, though.

Another option might be LubeLogger. It’s designed to track car maintenance, but you can set up time based reminders. For example you can create a “vehicle” called Dishwasher and set a once a month reminder. The problem is notifications… LubeLogger only does email if you set it up. I hacked together Ntfy notifications but that was one of the more difficult things I’ve ever figured out. It’s possible, though.

I love MikroTik, but I don’t think it meets OP’s needs. RouterOS isn’t beginner friendly.

Why so little sleep?

Private trackers are appealing to a lot of people because of the quality. Quality uploads, quality seeders. People who buy access haven’t shown that they possess knowledge regarding how to participate in a private tracker.

They are more likely to hit-and-run, have a bad ratio, or break other rules. They don’t have a track record to show that they probably don’t work for a record company/studio, etc. They are a burden to the volunteer staff for these reasons.

If you’re a good seeder as you’ve claimed, then working your way up shouldn’t be difficult. It just takes time and some dedication.

220 feet, for those wondering. So closer to an A380 instead of a Cessna 172.

I agree to an extent, but names are hard. I was able to sort of guess what fwupd does without having to read more into it. If it was named “Firmware Updater” I would immediately start asking questions. “Which company made this to update their firmware? Is it safe? Is it a virus?”. The name “fwupd” indicates to me that it’s more of a universal tool (I could be wrong, as I haven’t looked into it) made by the open source community.

I think a solid solution would be for mainstream distrobutions (Linux Mint, Ubuntu, etc.) to maybe have a default wrapper for stuff like this. They could call it whatever they like (“Hardware Updater” or whatever), but it’ll use fwupd for the heavy lifting. Win win.

Man, I used to LOVE defragmenting drives. I felt like I was actually doing something productive, and I just got to sit back and watch the magic happen.

Now I know better.

Yeah, both are fine. I switched away from KeePass because I was using Dropbox to take care of device sync, and it just didn’t feel right. Switching to Bitwarden was awesome for me because I self host it (Vaultwarden). It’s only accessible inside my home network, so mobile devices use a cached copy. If I need to add a new entry while away from home I can connect via VPN.

You can eference the outer edges for a satisfying before/after.

Use a password manager. Bitwarden has a specific “Card” entry type.

I think it’s because people are still uncomfortable answering “atheist” on questionnaires and polls. It’s easier to say “no religious affiliation”, and most people are probably agnostic instead of atheist anyway.

I doubt they’d mark non-dangerous, buried by the lowest bidder, no paperwork fiber cables. But you never know.

I wholeheartedly agree. These are not the class of people to be vilifying.

Ehhhh, zoning is super important. Vilifying someone by calling them “rich homeowners” is pretty weak.

What’s Netflix? That thing I cancelled years ago?

Grocery delivery service sounds expensive… but I don’t know where you live.
