The previous system never blocked scams because scammers didn't bother to check if your phone number was in the block-list before calling you. That new law is not going to change the number of spam calls most people will get, as they&#

I run a dozen PHP (Laravel) / MySQL / Redis apps on a single server which cost 45€ per month. Applications each have their own FreeBSD jails, so they're isolated. ZFS incremental replication on top of regular app backups prov

I'm very happy with Memories. I store my pictures on a NAS jail. That directory is mounted read-only on another jail with NC and Memories. I like the guarantee that my gallery app cannot alter my files. Also, many gallery apps don&#x27

I want to backup my entire phone on a local server I own. Apps, app data, settings, WiFi passwords, call logs, etc. Good luck without root.

I use wireguard as my main VPN to connect to my homelab from my phone and my laptops. I also have an OpenVPN as a backup option, running behind sslh. My same port on my router (443) serves both a webserver hosting photos, and that OpenVPN i

My requirements were: - ability to sync the TODO lists between devices (web and android). - ability to have sub-items, so that I can organise my complex lists into magnificent trees of tasks. I sometimes have 5 levels of details on some tra

I manage my ebooks using a self-hosted instance of calibre-web. This allows me to sync my library to my Kobo e-reader using KOreader. Also, turning pages is faster than with the stock reader of the device. https://github.com&#x2F

I document technical things on my blog and hardly anyone reads it. But later on when I need that thing again, I just go there and I have the perfect documentation available for the topic (it's perfect since I wrote it hahaha).

The way I've seen OKRs work so far was always the same: Top management defines a strategy for the company. Each department (commercial, marketing, product, etc.) create department OKRs from the company OKRs. The year/term starts.

Quite a sad story. I host 25-30 people on my couch each year, and I've had wonderful times with so many different people from different backgrounds. Some of my surfers had some weird stories about weird hosts, but I've never had a

In my opinion, latency is a super important concept that got forgotten once we moved every application to web interfaces. I remember the 90s and the 20s, when everything happened locally on the local hardware. It was quite easy to type fast

I've accepted this a decade ago. I put my ego on the side, and now I don't care if my git history doesn't look like "beautiful" when looking at the commit graph. I've been working on dozens of projects since, a

I don't need to backup my boot sectors or root partitions since all my systems are provisioned. I can always re-create them with scripts, should any of them fail. I'm only replicating the data filesystems. From what I see, sanoid

I'm using zrepl to sync ZFS filesystems incrementally between servers. I like the ability to incrementally send only the changes of an encrypted filesystem to a target server that never had the encryption key at anytime. I'm using

I 100% agree that the move to etcupdate should have been documented better. I also ended up in situations when I had to manually fix systems after upgrading.

My dorm in 2006 didn't have any wired network (nor wifi). So what we did is we wired one ourselves through the walls of every room, running ethernet cables from one balcony to the other. Every 6 room, we'd install a cheap fast-eth

As a big fan of keyboards with trackpoints/pointing-sticks, I completely agree. 1px scrollbars are a pain to use.

I'm glad I'm allowed to run LTSC. I've never seen a desktop OS that stable. I run it for months without reboots with a heavy usage and I never got any problems with it since I started using it in 2015.

I remember using a bunch of Seagate 7200.12 HDDs around 10-15 years ago. After a couple years, I had multiple of them failing. Some of them were replaced by the shop I bought them at, some of them were replaced by Seagate directly. Every ti

I have a similar experience with my Pixel 2 XL. The Lineage build with power saving mode stays up 2-3 days with active use. I'm extremely satisfied by it. Kudos to the Lineage team!
