ITT a horde of people who don’t know that http is stateless. Cookies are the easiest and least intrusive way to maintain your session.

Me today getting pnp running under naemon after migrating to Alma 9.

Hitch and a trailer is how I deal with that with my Crosstrek.

I’m getting old and am a whitewater kayaker. You have to go where the water is which means a lot of long road trips and long weekends. Setting up and tearing down camp constantly wears you down. Now I pull in. Sleep. Can drive part way and sleep at a truck stop. Much nicer. Mine has the bed over the garage so bikes and snowboards can just live there all the time too. Most creek and freestyle boats fit inside too until I get around to putting the racks on. Then I’ll also have an awning and solar.

I keep my paid off subie around, but I do like driving the camp converted van around because I can just sit and relax without having to go all the way home.

Usenet and IRC were the good ole times.

Yes please. None of those have anything to do with technology. I want to see some PM-esque posts in here.

Weak. You can easily jam IR by holding a button on another remote. No need to stand there with your hand over it.

Borg for local data backups to backup share on nas. Proxmox takes guest snapshots. Rclone all of that to rsync.net. bonus, Borg can use the rcloned remote, if necessary, directly.

No. Just leave it at the current summer setting.

Rutter’s peanut butter chocolate milk ftw!

I used to buy used CDs and rip them myself. So I have my own collection. But to discover new music and listen to things I may not wish to own, streaming is the best option.

The solution? A plex server with a music library that points to your own collection. Then get a Tidal subscription through Plex. You then add Tidal music to your own library as if you were downloading or ripping it yourself. Listen with plexamp on a phone connected via bluetooth, or just use plex client on your shield, roku, firestick, etc.

Now you can listen to things both locally and streamed seamlessly. You can do artist radio to discover new music and manage smart playlists on the plex server itself.

If you are hosting your own mail server, a procmail recipe shouldn’t be too difficult. I run mimedefang, so could do it there too, but that’s a whole lot of overkill if you don’t already have that.

Plex with a Tidal subscription. Treats tidal as if it is local in your library and seamlessly integrates with your own collection.

Listen with plexamp.

“keeping up with new tech” is often just re-inventing the wheel. If it isn’t broke, and can still be maintained, then why break it because you like the flavor of the week?

Linux/Cups. Postscript. Laser. Have never had a problem. Printers not working is a “put the logic in the Windoze driver” problem vs telling a good printer “Print this”.

I don’t like lxc containers, and my build automation works well at the full system level vs containers.

Running your services bare metal these days is insane. If I have a problem, I just restore or rebuild that purpose-built vm from configuration management. This is also a lot more flexible and cost effective vs having separate hardware for each thing.

Redundancy is also easier, should I decide it is worth the hardware investment.

I run proxmox on a System76 Thelio. ZFS mirror, 16 cores, 64GB. Synology NAS for data storage and backup. Dual NICs bonded with ovs for the VMs. The onboard NIC for connecting to proxmox itself. One of the VMs then rclones the backup share to rsync.net

One of the VMs is Plex/Sonarr/Radarr/Transmission. Media is stored via NFS to the NAS.

without -l, default behavior is integer results. Probably not what you want in most calculations.

I assume op runs an instance, then?
