Another recmendation for Actual. I spend very little time having to interact with it, because after the initial setup, all transactions are now synched from my bank accounts, and 90% are automatically classified into my categories (not by “AI” or something, you just set rules like “payments to Rewe are always groceries”).

Yeah, fair. You seem to possess a lot more patience than myself though… I usually don’t bother responding to the comments in question, simply because there is no chance of this happening anyways.

Surfshark does too

So do many others, I’d assume

Unfortunately, I’ve seen it quite a bit here on Lemmy. People suggest that all of the Linux ecosystem should come together and focus on creating one perfect distro, with one DE, one audio system,… and so on.

I have no proof of this, but I always picture them silently adding “…and it should be the one I currently enjoy, obviously” in their head.

Planning to host a Nix caching server, and have CI build all package and NixOS outputs on every push to git, then in turn pushing the output artifacts to the cache. Would save me a good chunk of time when tinkering with VMs that haven’t seen manual updates in a while.

Only thing is, I’m not sure how to approach building and caching NixOS configs that receive agenix secrets in their input. Obviously those should not be cached…

No, not really. The imperativity of ansible vs the declarativity of nix actually does make a big difference in practice.

About the same here, though I have to say… Reading the “3 hours per day” part out loud still seems… Insane somehow.

In a similar vein, I’m currently staying at my mom’s house, and the internet is too shit to use my Jellyfin. As a result, I haven’t been watching any shows, and my day seems to be infinitely longer, like a million more activities fit in the sake 24 hours.

Yes, and I do werether the recipient also knows how to use it.

So, for like, 1% of my mails.

More like: paying someone to maintain the hardware.

Anyways.

Just FYI, your mails with a provider like Proton are not E2E encrypted unless you exclusively wrote with other Proton customers (in which case I assume they are. No idea). Otherwise it’s just encrypted at rest.

I dint really see the benefit over doing it completely yourself, not even offering metadata to a provider, and also having encryption at rest, while maintaining full compatibility with mail clients 🤔

Not a VPS.

We host most stuff at home, and then additionally some services at Hetzner on an (auctioned) root server. Bloody nice to get really good hardware for cheap, plus unlimited data with either 1 or 10Gbit synchronous network speed, a dedicated IPv4,…

Stuff like my mail server lives there because it HAS to be available, and doing it at home, and doing it well, is next to impossible.

I’m planning a nix hydra + cache server, which will probably also live on the Hetzner server, simply because it’ll have pretty intense jobs to run a lot of the time and I’m not a fan of having the noise of spun-up fans at home.

Both solutions have their place, is what I’m saying / agreeing.

• every VM with state backs up its state to the NAS once a day
• client devices rsync most of their home folder to the NAS once an hour
• at 3:15 in the morning, a Borg backup job starts pushing the days changes to a Hetzner storage box

Through borg, I have the Option to go back to any point in time with the backups. I will probably never need this, hence why it happens in this step, not on the rsync job to the NAS.

Things like movies and tv shows are not backed up, they are replaceable. All in all, about 2tb of documents, pictures, and VM state is backed up to Hetzner, out of the 16tb on the NAS.

Pick and choose your battles.

Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.

Over the years, we’ve made a lot of Dashboards. In the most recent iteration, I’ve been using the popular Rounded theme, plus some customizations.

I’ve also tried to get rid of as many elements as possible. 90% of entities I just do not need to see on a daily basis, or only in certain specific situations, so I’m trying to automate that (i.e. only show what I’m actually interested in).

Wow, that looks super nice! Great job!

FWIW, I went to school in mid-2000. My sibling even later. They still taught it back then, and at least here, I am pretty sure they still do. (And why would they not, after all…)

Literally noone I know in real life has any problem whatsoever reading analog clocks, no matter the “brain capacity”, neuro-typicality, state of drunkenness,… It is an extremely simple “skill”.

Yeah, vibe of the time is a good description

Because it’s not! Glad to help you clear that up.

Disagree - it rarely matters to me if it’s 13:24:56 or 13:25:05, but I do find the instant and intuitive gauging of time deltas super useful (as in, how long it’s going to be to the full hour / to quarter past / … ). Not saying you can’t get that info from a digital clock as well, of course you can; but the physicality of analog clocks lends a good bit of intuition to this, I feel.
