I’ve had good luck with goharddrive.com. They sell through amazon as well, but I believe they ship direct. I usually get the hgst, or now wd, ultrastar hard drives. I’ve had zero issues.

My parents’ isp setup a static dhcp entry per customer. If you change the mac address of your router you don’t get an address. The address you get with the proper mac address is constant and can’t be changed.

Also trains the next generation to think these kinds of privacy violations are ok, when they are not.

The jalapeno ones have way better flavor.

Might do kind of what you want.

could use nextcloud with s3, might work for what you need.

nickel zinc are 1.6V, which could be fine for many things, but could still blow up a few things.

Could try nickel zinc batteries in those maybe.

I do and it’s fine.

I used to have a separate machine for server stuff but it just cost more in electricity since I would leave them both on 24x7 anyway.

I’ve got 64G of ram and I often use up to 48 of it with various VMs. I wouldn’t get any power savings with a separate server since I have a cron job to transcode everything that plex recorded off of TV during the day to av1 for disk space savings (usually turns 3GB of mpeg2 into 700MB of av1), so I would need a server with a moderately powerful cpu anyway for that.

I have a ryzen 3700X. got it since it was the highest performance that was still 65w tdp at the time, didn’t want to spend a ton on electricity and extra air conditioning since I would be leaving it running 24x7.

The only time I notice a performance impact during gaming is if my windows 11 vm is running, I don’t really need that one running 24x7 so I shut that one down if it happens to be running at the time.

It can update apps automatically in the background, similar to the google play store app, f-droid wouldn’t do that for me.

I’m pretty sure you can set alacritty and kitty to a ridiculously high number of scrollback lines, like at least several trillion. I think I just add 4 zeros on to the default and I’ve never had enough output for it to run out of scrollback. At some point you’re going to run out of ram or storage for storing scrollback so you can’t realistically have unlimited scrollback without doing something ridiculous.

I have a 2018 car and the android auto on it doesn’t seem to be compatible with the android auto on phones anymore. It worked fine for a few years, but not anymore. I highly doubt they release a software update for it to make it compatible again.

Not having to deal with split horizon dns or nat hairpinning is pretty nice, especially with so many things using DoH with public resolvers nowadays, like android or firefox.

I just put A and AAAA in public dns so things work either ipv4 or ipv6 on the outside. On the inside everything works on and prefers ipv6 so it just works on the inside too. Nothing ever even attempts to use the wrong (public) A record on the inside.

One thing really annoying for me, there’s only the 1 official “store” you can use and it doesn’t support ipv6.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 says it’s been available for apt since march 12th 2013.

I emailed their support to complain that their transfer out ui was broken so I couldn’t get the transfer code, they sent me the code without me proving who I was. I was communicating with them using a different email and even different email domain than anything they had on file.

It’s the worst trying to use git on a capitalization insensitive filesystem, like on mac’s default.

mv DockerFile Dockerfile

git says there are no changes.

Had to

git mv DockerFile Dockerfile1

git commit -am “rename file”

git mv Dockerfile1 Dockerfile

git commit -am f

git rebase -i origin/master

and squash the last 2 commits together

I ended up making a new volume on my mac specifically to hold git repos that was capitalization sensitive so I don’t have to deal with that shit.

rock64 works pretty good for my use case as a 700 mbit router.

I’ve heard good things about the rockpi.
