That’s if you don’t work saturday and sunday. I do.

Where I live that’s the most common lifestyle, so my view is molded by that

When you work 10 hours a day of hard labor work ( both mentally and physically ) and you come home to a farm, do some cycling/strenght training with weights on the side you do need 8-9 hours of sleep every day ( I on average do 24k steps a day so somewhat active )

Me who wakes up for work at 4am but doesn’t eat anything till 11am.

I guess I have it also then, since I can’t really create mental images, but do have up go 100 diff voices talking at times when I’m trying to solve anything.

I haven’t “dreamed” in so many years ( close to 7 now ) it must be unhealthy, doesn’t matter if I sleep 3 hoursor 12, no dreams ( atleast one’s I can remember )

I’m using nixos-anywhere to install and then deploy-rs to deploy updates to nixos vps’s.

Also using agenix for managing secrects for the services so that I can easilly have them all in a public repo, so that other’s could take a look and take inspiration.

My nixos flake url if you wan’t to take a look.

This week moved all my vps’s to nixos, so am now able to use one flake for my desktop and all my vps’s which significantly lowers down the time I need to manage my vps’s.

Nowto move my proxmox homelab server ( an old desktop pc I bought recently ) and all my server’s/devices witll be running nixos.

EDIT: An issue I’m thinking about is getting a “proper” server. Not a server like a server rack server, but a mini pc or something along those sides wbich would be a lot stronger and a lot more power efficient than the current 10+ y/o desktop pc I’m using currently.

So would like some reccomendations on that front, like what are some good mini pc brands and mini pc’s that I could have raid seted up on for nas or good budget parts and case to make one myself.

While I’m 5’9 (176cm) with size 12 ( man 45 europe ) shoes since I was 15/16 ( same height and foot size since that age )

Only services I paid for were games.

Come to balkan ma frend, where people will force their 12 y/o to say they are 6 for free bus ticket 🙂

What? I’m in 3 private torrent trackers, and have usenet also and 90% of stuff I grab with *arr software are from usenet, even stuff that’s new/releasing rn have best releases on usenet.

Only way torrent is better is if you get into those super private trackers but otherwise usenet is still better in my case.

I personally selfhost a navidrome server for my music all flac so my library is about 20+gb rn ( and still continues to grow ). Struggling to find decent subsonic compatible player for linux so will check if deadbeef supports it.

For phone I use symfonium ( not open source neither free but the best for subsonic ).

I’m using the default list alongside Firehol BotScout list and Firehol cybercrime tracker list set to ban.

Also using the Firehol cruzit.com list set to do captcha, just in case it’s not actually a bot.

I’m also using the cs-firewall-bouncer and a custom bouncer that’s shown on crowdsecs tutorials to detect privilege escalation for if anybody actually manages to get inside.

Alongside that I’m using a lot of scenario collection’s for specific software I’m using like nextcloud, grafana, ssh, … which helps a lot with attacks directly done on a service and not just general scraping or both path traversing.

All free and have been using it for a year, only complaint I have is that I had to make a cronjob to restart the crowdsec service every day because it would stop working after a couple days because of the amount of requests it has to process.

And the comminity blocklists are updated when more than a couple ( I think the number is something like 10-50 ) instances of crowdsec block an ip in some fast timeframe.

The ai blocklist just adds IP when even one instance finds an AI trying to scrape right from the useragent.

So even if the community blocklist has fewer ai ip’s, it does eventually include them.

Try crowdsec.

You can set it up with list’s that are updated frequetly and have it look at caddy proxy logs and then it can easilly block ai/bot like traffic.

I have it blocking over 100k ip’s at this moment.

I have a 10 min drive to my closest store. But it’s on countryside road with no sidewalk, and deer/wild boars and even bears can be seen there.

So yes, I will be driving my car.

I use nixos on my desktop, the server is a debian one but might be good to install nix on it.

I just have to import only one. Might just use thunderbird for that.

Will test out mailcow and see how it goes.

Only 3 months? Here it’s anywhere from 6 monthd ( mayne if lucky in 15% of cases ) up to 2 years.
