I actually started doing that. It’s a living document, shared with others. It’s the best solution I’ve come up with. Knowing whether or not I can convey enough info to make it usable and able to be followed for a less technical person like other family members drives my adoption of software/hardware solutions.

It’s the theoretically part that i haven’t figured out. I know none of my family members would have any idea what to do with anything. I feel like All the Data will just be lost when i go… which is a huge issue as everything moves to digital.

He just wants it ti deflect from the Epstein Files.

Too soon, man!

More than a PDP-11, but I would recommend against both.

I wonder how a “first computer” stats break down when some people (me) were born before laptops and tablets. (Also now I feel old…)

This is what I was thinking… they didn’t get rid of gravity. Also, who pees on the wall, even without a coating it’s going to splash at least a little.

Fast, Cheap, Good Quality… Pick two.

Wow. You know, I learned at a very young age that people who blame others are generally the ones deserving of the blame. Especially when that finger pointing is unsolicited.

I believe they say it’s only for the pregnant mothers taking it causing autism to their unborn babies.

This perfectly fits into all MAGA’s Project 2025 tenants:

• Women don’t matter and Women’s healthcare should be reduced and their bodies controlled
• Don’t care about babies that have been born, just the unborn ones
• Blame things without any evidence to enforce solutions that profit the companies who pay into the administration and people who have been appointed there.

I use an rsync job to do it. Rsync by default uses the files metadata to determine if the file has changed or not and updates based on that. You can opt to use checksums instead if you’d rather. IIRC, you can do it with a Synology task, or just do it yourself on the command line. Ive got a Jenkins setup to run it so i can gather the logs and not have to remember the command all the time (and i use it for other periodic jobs as well), but its pretty straightforward on its own.

Honestly, If you are delving into Kubernetes, just add some more of those 1L PCs in there. I tend to find them on ebay cheaper than Pi’s. Last year I snagged 4x 1L Dells with 16GB RAM for $250 shipped. I swapped some RAM around, added some new SSD’s and now have 3x Kube masters, 3x Kube worker nodes and a few VMs running a Proxmox cluster across 3 of the 1L’s with 32GB and a 512GbB SSD each and its been great. The other one became my wife’s new desktop.

Big plus, there are so many more x86_64 containers out there compared to Pi compatible ARM ones.

man, I can only do deep breathing for a few minutes before I start getting light headed. I cant imagine doing it for 6 straight months!

Here we are, just waiting for the next overhyped wedge to shove in from the left.

I use IPv6 every day and everywhere I can. It solves so many issues in large corporate and ISP network setups. And yes 10. Wasn’t big enough, and NATing is a PitA.

Honestly we just keep pushing it off when it’s not that bad. Workaround after workaround just because people are lazy.

Instead of building our own clouds, I want us to own the cloud. Keep all of the great parts about this feat of technical infrastructure, but put it in the hands of the people rather than corporations. I’m talking publicly funded, accessible, at cost cloud-services.

I worry that quickly this will follow this path:

• Someone has to pay for it, so it becomes like an HOA of compute. (A Compute Owners Association, perhaps) Everyone contributes, everyone pays their shares
• Now there’s a group making decisions… and they can impose rules voted upon by the group. Not everyone will like that, causing schisms.
• Economies of scale: COA’s get large enough to be more mini-corps and less communal. Now you’re starting to see “subscription fees” no differently than many cloud providers, just with more “ownership and self regulation”
• The people running these find that it takes a lot of work and need a salary. They also want to get hosted somewhere better than someone’s house, so they look for colocation facilities and worry about HA and DR.
• They keep growing and draw the ire of companies for hosting copies of licensed resources. Ownership (which this article says we don’t have anyway) is hard to prove, and lawsuits start flying. The COA has to protect itself, so it starts having to police what’s stored on it. And now it’s no better than what it replaced.

I’ve heard lots of good things about Ghost. I’ve also hosted Grav for a while and it’s pretty solid. You can do Wordpress, but I’d stay away as it gets bad fast and there are better alternatives. If you needed even more scale, Mediawiki is selfhostable too.
