Nerd, truck driver, and kinda creeped that you’re reading this.

bdonvr,

I started self hosting a SearxNG instance. It’s pretty cool, it combines several engines while not spying on you.

I sense you are walking down a path into a very deep rabbit hole.

Seriously, it’s a whole thing.

bdonvr,

Pffft who’s not using passwordless sudo anyway

bdonvr,

I do have a password. Sudo is just setup not to ask for it.

On servers of course I use a password for sudo - but on a home machine there’s not much of a point I don’t think. It’s off when I’m not actively using it, and if some attacker or malware has access to my user they already have access to all my important files, or have physical access.

bdonvr,

It’s a joke comic about the copyright system.

bdonvr,

Not necessarily gay

She’s 31. Which isn’t that old but older than the “young and crazy” phase I suppose

bdonvr,

Yeah that’s probably true. Perhaps something like this?

Hardware RAID. Not too expensive.

Yeah it’s USB and not likely to be super performant, but I don’t think I need super fast read/write for media playback.

bdonvr,

Oh yeah, I backup all configs 4*day. The good thing about torrenting is even if I had catastrophic loss, as long as I have the list of torrents it should repopulate (assuming someone’s seeding).

Of course I also want to self host my personal photos/videos, and I can’t afford to lose those. I’ll have to look into seeing if any solutions support local storage plus maybe object storage as a backup.

bdonvr,

On my PC direct play is possible 99% of the time.

I also watch a lot on my Apple TV which requires transcoding for some codecs.

But the big thing is my SO who does watch on the go often.

bdonvr,

bdonvr,

Yeah like it would’ve been better to leave the doo there, now you’ve littered shit AND a bag.

bdonvr,

Fun fact you also don’t need to go to prison for your crypto to depreciate!

bdonvr,

bdonvr,

A piece of paper that sticks to something is a sticker.

bdonvr,

I think what they mean is that you can just make a swap FILE instead, which you can grow and shrink as needed. No need to mess with partitioning.

bdonvr,

la chancla

bdonvr,

I have three mothers, though I don’t call them by their first names.

bdonvr,

Parents got divorced, father remarried (stepmother). Then transitioned to female 🏳️‍⚧️ (still married)

bdonvr,

Can we not photoshop sexual paraphernalia onto children thx

bdonvr, (edited )

lmao I’m dumb thanks

bdonvr,

What app?

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

bdonvr,

I always found having each OS have a separate physical drive is much better, but partitioning is fine if you must.
