My wife watches a lot of those serial killer shows and while I totally think the prison industrial complex in the US is a complete shit show I’m still oftentimes in shock when it’s a case in another country and they get like one year in jail for murdering a family.

You’re right, it’s probably a lost cause.

I still do some sneakernet file sharing with a Windows user where BitLocker support would be nice (we currently use VeraCrypt).

I use it on a mini PC running Alpine Linux used as a router. It significantly increases the performance of Blocky when it’s importing tens of thousands of hostnames to block.

Define “server”:

If you mean any process that serves on the network well then of course you can.

If you mean multiple containerized stacks acting as a service then yes, you can do that too.

If you mean multiple operating systems, I’m not so sure but I can’t imagine that it’s impossible.

I did for awhile on PC, but more recently I couldn’t get it to run happily on an ARM macOS VM. I try off and on but it never works right, so I have boring old Debian when I need Linux (usually to disk repair for disks actually used by Linux machines).

I don’t use it but I would recommend Kopia due to its content-defined chunking, deduplication, etc. I’m writing a fork of it that allows any Rclone adapter to work as the frontend or backend but it won’t be released for quite some time.

Otherwise I sync most my files to Backblaze by hand from time to time using Rclone and client-side encryption.

That’ll show ‘em!!

I really want the family to win in this case but my fear is that if they were to that it would only push age verification laws further.

And who wants to watch the shit hole quality of something recorded on fucking glasses? No thank you.

Be careful if there’s a public IP address. I think some operating systems even include IPv6 with 0.0.0.0 so that if there’s a public one assigned this might open it up to the world.

For me it’s also the same with “hubby”

I second PocketID if all you’re looking for is Passkeys + forward-auth. The others are overkill.

Dying for SB-868 in California myself.

The sad part is I think he does.

I’d just add both Gmail and another email account to a desktop email client, then simply drag the emails from one provider to the other.

I know it’s Trump but I really thought this was The Onion. I’m at a loss for words.

I really tried to use a “usb” install for a long time but could never get kernel upgrades (and some other packages) to work correctly.

These days I do a “sys” install but mount /var/log and some other directories to RAM.

I do this more or less, while the VPS itself doesn’t route over a VPN I have traffic forwarded between Tailscale and a commercial VPN.

It’s actually much more complicated and involved than that involving four double hop VPN tunnels, two that stay 100% in my country then two that bounce around other countries routed over the first two. This way my traffic exits the country without it appearing that way.

Bonus points if the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels use the same SSID and security. I can’t stand when people separate them — who wants to sit there and switch networks all day trying to find the best one? Just let the clients do it on their own.
