I quite like Fastmail. It’s a bit expensive but the service is very reliable and they have a well established reputation. You can create masked emails using their domain or your own from the web interface.

As of the latest release (21), you can simply install microG on regular LOS and no longer need to install LineageOS for microG since it now includes the necessary signature spoofing support.

Ubuntu -> Arch -> Debian (stable) -> Fedora Silverblue -> NixOS

I use it over Tailscale only and it works perfectly as an alternative.

I think it is a combination of the required precision, liquid ink vs solid filament and the difficulty of handing paper vs simply moving a print bed on a 3d printer.

Great album!

How is your battery life?

Prometheus and Altertmanager

Time to fork it.

Meanwhile I get support for both completely ad free with infinite selection on my Jellyfin server… What on earth are these companies thinking, you literally get a superior product by not paying for it. I would gladly pay a small fee per download of DRM free files if that were an option.

I’m using the recently merged Clevis module for NixOS. There was a recent talk at FOSDEM about it.

You might be interested in setting up network bound encryption via Clevis and Tang. I use a hidden pi zero in my house acting as a Tang server. It’s great being able to reboot any of my encrypted servers without having to manually unlock disks.

Framework. I’ve run Debian, Fedora and for a while now NixOS, all of which have worked flawlessly.

I did have to replace the heatsink/fan part on mine because the fan bearing started clicking, but I’m sure that was just a first generation product issue (I was one of the first batches). I was glad to be able to do the replacement myself at relatively low cost and the process couldn’t have been easier (took about 30 minutes).

My previous machine was a 2013-ish ThinkPad X series and the Framework absolutely blows it out of the water. I’m looking forward to upgrading mine to a Ryzen motherboard sometime in the not so distant future.

Yeah, it took a while getting deep into ansible hell for me to see the light.

Grand Theft Auto.

All of them, but especially V. I have tried a few times to play them but never get more than a few missions in before losing interest in the story. I think I have to like or identify with a protagonist to enjoy a game, and most GTA characters are pretty unlikable.

Self hosted invidious is really underrated, it even works with the Sponsorblock plugin.

Every hour via Restic to a local Mino instance on my NAS. Once a day to backblaze B2. Once a week to an offline HDD in my fire safe.

Keep in mind the more often you backup the less total time each backup should take to run. If your backup software isn’t too heavy to run and stores backups incrementally, there is little penalty to frequent backups.

I keep a copy of Windows installed on a storage card, saves from having to mess about with partitioning for dual booting.

I like memos.
