Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?
  • DDoSing cost the attacker some time and resources so there has to something in it for them.

    Random servers on the internet are subject to lots of drive-by vuln scans and brute force login attempts, but not DDoS, which are most costly to execute.

  • Anyone self hosting on Mac mini M1/M2?
  • I didn’t pay a premium, I got a great deal.

    The reverse engineering work was already complete, and all the containers I needed for ARM were available.

    These have great performance per watt.

  • Anyone self hosting on Mac mini M1/M2?
  • There are plenty of Linux containers available for ARM in part because a lot of developers want to run Linux containers within macOS on Apple Silicon.

    That has had the effect improving the experience of running Linux directly on ARM servers.

  • Long term ergo-mech keyboards reviews
  • There are a lot ZOMG posts about just-built keebs. That’s a moment worth celebrating, but I was curious which designs people actually stick with.

    I’m enjoying seeing the differences and similarities in what people are posting.

  • Long term ergo-mech keyboards reviews

    If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.

    Recommendation for a high-quality webcam for Linux

    I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

    Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

    I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

    How to open the parent directory relative to the current buffer

    To open a file relative to the current one in Helix, you can to the do the following with 24.3:

    :o <C-r>%<C-w>

    Here, the Control-R allows you to select a register and the special register "%" contains the current file path and inserts into the command line, while the final Control-w chops off the last part of the file name leaving with you current directory.

    This is like :o %:h from Vim/Neovim

    GigabitNow Bloomington, Indiana outage going on 20 hours

    Started yesterday at 3:40 Eastern. 20 hours later, there’s still no ETA for a fix.

    No note about it on their status page. Not impressed.

    Not clear how many people are affected. A co-worker two miles away is not.

    The GigabitNow status page does mention some maintenance work in area the day before this event. My guess is it’s related.

    Recommendation for outgoing-only SMTP server

    I'm looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.

    I have used msmtpd successfully but thought I'd ask if folks have other solutions they like.

    I use quotes much more than colon and semicolon, so I swapped the keys

    And then I moved colon and semicolon to layers and re-assigned that outer pinky key to my rarely used AltGr key.

    Why I Found Myself Running 50 Miles Alone in the Wintertime

    limestonepostmagazine.com Why I Found Myself Running 50 Miles Alone in the Wintertime - Limestone Post Magazine

    One recent winter, Mark Stosberg set out on a 50-mile run. He wasn’t racing in or training for an event, so at some point, he had to answer the question, Why keep going? To test his physical and mental limits? To satisfy a primal instinct? Or was it therapeutic in some way?

    Recommendation for backing up a couple Mac and a couple Linux laptops

    I would like the end result to include remote and encrypted backups.

    I’m considering maybe a Synology NAS with an APFS partition for Time Machine and a BTRFS partition for Linux backups.

    The Linux laptops might backup to the NAS with Restic.

    The Synology NAS might then backup to BackBlaze or another cloud using Synology’s Hyper Backup or also Restic.

    Have I missed a better plan?
