For my home server, I use Restic and a cronjob to weekly take snapshots of all my services. It then gets synced to a Backblaze B2 bucket (at $6/TB/mo). It’s pretty neat, only saving the difference between the previous and current snapshot, removes older snapshots, and encrypts everything.

Lmao, there’s a GLaDOS voice. I’m taking that

Libretube still works pretty good if you self-host your own private instance. You still need to use HLS though.

That’s pretty funny! ���

Low IQ: it’s not a straight line

Medium IQ: it’s a geodesic on a sphere, so it is a straight line

High IQ: it’s not a straight line

Oh, it’s possible. So much so that they made a TV show out of it.

It’ll be rewritten in mdBook

No idea. I personally didn’t like it. I felt the time based sorting was more accurate for me

I’ve been using McFly to do my history searching. It’s pretty good. I recommend changing the default sort from rank to time though

Back when I was still doing JS stuff, switching to TS was so good for the developer experience. Yeah, there’s still JS jank, and types are not validated at runtime, which was a pain in the backend (pun intended), but still I much prefer it to vanilla JS

I ended up finding the CENTRALITE PEARL THERMOSTAT 3157100 used on eBay for about $30. It can either operate from the panel or through ZigBee, no WiFi. It is supported on Zigbee2MQTT. It works really great and I have had no problems with it. You can easily find a manual for it online too.

I was wondering why it was written in C++, but the FAQ already beat me to it.

Why build a new browser in C++ when safer and more modern languages are available?

Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. The choice of language was not so much a technical decision, but more one of personal convenience. Andreas was most comfortable with C++ when creating SerenityOS, and now we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain.

However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near future. This process is already quite far along, and prototypes exist in multiple languages.

Glad to see they are open to using safer languages. C/C++ was great for its time, but we really need to move on from them.

Proton requires an account, which gives them some of your info, while Mullvad does not, giving you an anonymous account number instead.

If Proton really doesn’t log VPN traffic, then it doesn’t really matter. But since Mullvad does not have that same personal info, they would be unable to provide law enforcement or 3rd party data brokers any hard data aside from your IP if they wanted to.

Lol, it took me a while to realize it’s the compiler essentially saying “how high”.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s not enough to delete the files in the commit, unless you’re ok with Git tracking the large amount of data that was previously committed. Your git clones will be long, my friend

Why does a virtual machine platform need to add support for different kernel versions? What changes are there in the kernel that affects how it interacts with the virtual hardware?

Do HDDs noticably degrade when powered off? I’m thinking about getting one of these for cold storage backups. Also, how much of an impact does repeated power cycling have on lifespan?

Commit 77a294d

Update maintainer and author info. The other maintainer suddenly disappeared.

Lmao, that’s putting it lightly.

I’ve been interested in doing this, but I can’t tell why I need to login to Beeper in order to self host. I noticed their previous self-host solution did not require that.

Because of that login step, I decided to look into this other repo which uses Ansible to deploy a Matrix homeserver and the same bridges that Beeper uses. I haven’t finished it yet since there’s a lot of config and choices to make, but it seems like it’ll serve the same end goal.

Edit: lol, maybe if I read the intro, I’ll get my answer.

You can connect any† standard Matrix application service to your Beeper account without having to self-host a whole Matrix homeserver.

Still might go with the second option so that I don’t rely on their cloud services.

That would be awesome. I wish banks would also have standardized (or at least open) APIs so I could use FOSS financial software to pull my live purchase history and then categorize that and etc. I think some banks do this, but not very common in the US from what I can tell.
