If you have humidity problems in your bathroom, get a small electric dehumidifier. They’re less than 30 bucks and they’ll fix it right up.

Yeah, and I assume future me will be even dumber than present day me, so I try to make it really easy for him to find out what he needs to know.

Another good tip is to put timestamps and increase the length of your bash history. That way when I log in half a year from now I’ll know what I was up to.

All of your issues can be solved by a backup. My host went out of business. I set up a new server, pulled my backups, and was up and running in less than an hour.

I’d recommend docker compose. Each service gets its own folder inside your docker folder. All volumes are a folder in the services folder. Each night, run a script that stops all of them, starts duplicati, backs up to a remote server or webdav share or whatever, and then starts them back up again. If you want to be extra safe, back up to two locations. It’s not that complicated if it’s just your own services.

There’s no forgetting where I have something hosted. If I ssh to service.domain.tld I’m on the right server. My services are all in docker compose. All in a ~/docker/service folder, that contains all the volumes for the service. If there’s anything that needed doing, like setting up a docker network or adding a user in the cli, I have a readme file in the service’s root directory. If I need to remember literally anything about the server or service, there’s an appropriately named text file in the directory I would be in when I need to remember it.

If you just want a diagram or something, there are plenty of services online that will generate one in ASCII for you so you can make yourself a nice “network topology” readme to drop in your servers’ home directory.

Landlords are familiar with utility install people and how unpredictable they can be. Even if they get mad, this will put the blame squarely on someone else so it’s probably a good option for you. “I dunno why he put it there. You know how utility guys are. It’s the only place he’d put my hookup.”

Second this. Landlords don’t want their stuff screwed up by inexperienced tenants’ diy projects, and they don’t want to pay for something they think it’s unnecessary. I’d get an estimate for a pro to do it (could be a guy off Craigslist or whatever, just someone who does this for a living) and then just ask the landlord if they’d be alright with you paying to get it done. They’ll probably want to know exactly what they’re going to do, and they’ll likely say yes, especially since you say they already have coax running through the house.

Hold for me and call screening on the pixel is amazing. It’s so much better than any other feature available on any other phone.

I’ve been on Lemmy too much today. I read Constipation as Capitalism.

I’ll have to look into that. Im not familiar enough to with Norton desktop to know about those features. I have many fond memories of windows 3.1 and NT 3.51 though. First desktop and personal server oses I ever ran. Interestingly enough, I ran windows 3.1 on an IBM PS1, and on boot it had a desktop replacement type graphical menu to access some organizational tools. I wonder how many more things like that were common and I just didn’t have any experience with them.

Yeah, but I love that it exists. I also have a copy.

You mentioned wincard, but you didn’t mention Bob. If you don’t know about it, you should really look.

Unfortunately, I’ve run into plenty of sites that won’t accept subdomain email addresses.

This used to happen to me literally everywhere I went. Sometimes you just give off a drug dealer vibe I guess?

For what it’s worth, I’m a bit odd because I’m autistic, and I’ve never touched a drug my doctor didn’t prescribe in my life.

Looks like someone tried to use panorama mode with a camera from the mid 00s.

I know better, but I feel like if I grabbed that fork to use it, my arm might stretch out like that too, and i’d basically become a collection of wet floppy noodles instead of arms and legs.

Just FYI, koofr has a lifetime deal with 1tb costing $120. At about $4 a month for storj, you’re looking at a cost savings in just under 3 years. So if you intend to keep the storage, and assume koofr will still be there in 3 years, that’s another good way to go.

If it’s not true there’s no way the story’s better. It’s also pretty low stakes to be wrong about. I’m going to join you.

I should probably figure out discord one of these days. Thanks for letting me know that’s where to go for this project.

Wow, I asked the right person. Thanks for the info!

I’m getting a bit concerned with logseq. It’s just kind of backwards to have a web app packaged as a desktop/android app that can be hosted on a server, but you can’t store your files there. I get that they want to monetize sync, but they’re kind of bending over backwards here to not have what’s inherently a pretty reasonable feature in a web based app, and it makes me concerned about what they’re going to do with the project in the future.

Is there a way to embed portions of one page into another page, such that if you edit it on either the change shows up on both, like in logseq?

The documentation is actually pretty good, but i’ve not been able to find that feature, if it exists. That’s probably the last thing keeping me on logseq.
