If you’re running it via docker compose it’s trivial to upgrade, and there are no breaking changes. Pull, down, up, you’re done.

Frigate is pretty good, too. I’ve only been running it for a few months but I’m very happy with it.
Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.
I rsync as well, but use snapshotting on the remote drives. So, a bad rsync would suck but shouldn’t really result in data loss. Ransomware on my local+remote server would of course be very bad…
I do something similar — I have a raspberry pi and a HD, with daily rsync and snapshots (monthly retained indefinitely, weekly retained for a month, daily retained for a week). It’s at family’s house, connected to my home via WireGuard via a VPS. Tailscale (or anything really) would also work here.
It’s a great setup! Just have some watchdog reboot if it can’t talk to home (a simple cronjob with ping -c1 home.lan || reboot
or similar).
Even our “slow” 35Mbps upload speed is way more than enough for incremental rsyncs of my Immich library. The initial sync was done in person, though.
I got one from goHardDrive on eBay (link). It was cheap enough, looks flawless, and knock on wood has been working fine.
Googling around, the brand gets…mixed reviews. My use case is such that of this drive fails it’s not a big deal.
I’ve honestly never understood people who feel the need to “replace” Spotify. … Spotify has never made sense for my use-case.
I don’t know how to say this, but…you have extremely uncommon use-cases:
…during those times, my phone is either fully turned off (so I’ll use an MP3 player), or it’s in Airplane Mode.
Many people listen to music on stereos and don’t necessarily want a device plugged in, so
I just download the music I like to my device and listen to it via VLC.
either doesn’t work or is substantially less convenient than e.g. casting from a phone.
Not hating on your setup at all, but it’s very niche, in my experience.
The think the objection is that this is specifically targeted at women, and it’s something that someone might be self conscious about.
“Free coffee to shortest/tallest/skinniest/fattest man” would be also be offensive IMHO, because it’s singling out people for a trait for which they maybe don’t want to be singled out.
Crude humor is great, if all parties are in on the joke; I believe the point that parent was making was that all parties are not necessarily in on the joke.
I once took a Lyft and the push alert was, “Look for Jesus in a white Toyota Camry.”
Some would call the former command cat abuse.
In short, unless you want the contents of a file printed to stdout (or multiple files concatenated), the command can probably be written without cat
, instead using the filename as an argument (grep pattern file
) or IO redirection (cmd < file
).
Stylistics and readability are another thing though.
Yabai+sketchybar make tiling+virtual desktops…at least usable on mac.
Of course, I’d take i3 any day of the week.
Maybe in the before times, but with the LA residents’ response to the fascist in chief, I think most of us in San Francisco are honored to share the state, and be confused, with Angelenos.
Just keep the Dodgers in SoCal. This is the Giants’ city.
It’s interesting that, with Python, the reference implementation is the implementation — yeah there’s Jython but really, Python means both the language and a particular interpreter.
Many compiled languages aren’t this way at all — C compilers come from Intel, Microsoft, GNU, LLVM, among others. And even some scripting languages have this diversity — there are multiple JavaScript implementations, for example, and JS is…weird, yes, but afaik can be faster than Python in many cases.
I don’t know what my point is exactly, but Python a) is sloooow, and b) doesn’t really have competition of interpreters. Which is interesting, at least, to me.
Coming from Debian, it was…not expected. I understand how and why it happened, but the user experience was surprising.
Debian keeps the previous kernel around, which makes perfect sense to me — in the event that a kernel update borks your system you can just load the previous one. This would probably only happen due to out of tree modules (looking at you, Nvidia…).

Linux distros can still do…questionable things. In grad school I tried Arch for a bit, and I once was late to a video call because I had updated my kernel but did not reboot. Arch decided that because there was a new kernel installed, I didn’t need the modules for the old — but currently running! — kernel, so it removed them. So when I plugged in a webcam, the webcam module was nowhere to be found.
But yeah…somehow, still not as bad as Windows updates.
Our Internet went out for a few hours today, so naturally my smart switches, lights, cameras, motion sensors, door sensors, and power monitoring… continued to work as of nothing was wrong.
Home Assistant is great, and using local-only devices is awesome. If my smart home stops working it’s my own fault, not some 3rd party.
You’re not just “sticking it to the man” when you do this though — you’re being a dick to your city, its residents, and employees.
Move ‘em 2 millimeters in the wrong direction and you’ll have a bad time
Are you referring to getting, I dunno, yogurt in places outside the digestive tract?
My understanding was that gut bacteria play a pretty crucial (beneficial) role in overall health, not to mention the whole gut-brain stuff.
Pretty sure those “horrible little scalawags” play some pretty crucial roles in the human microbiome…
On low end CPUs you can max out the CPU before maxing out network—if you want to get fancy, you can use rsync over an unencrypted remote shell like
rsh
, but I would only do this if the computers were directly connected to each other by one Ethernet cable.
