They ALL are on green screen. There isn't anyone int his video present "in person"!

Do NOT self-host email! In the long run, you'll forget a security patch, someone breaches your server, blasts out spam and you'll end up on every blacklist imaginable with your domain and server.

Buy a domain, DON'T use GoDaddy, they are bastards. I'd suggest OVH for European domains or Cloudflare for international ones.

After you have your domain, register with "Microsoft 365" or "Google Workspace" (I'd avoid Google, they don't have a stable offering) or any other E-Mail-Provider that allows custom domains.

Follow their instructions on how to connect your domain to their service (a few MX and TXT records usually suffice) and you're done.

After that, you can spin up a VPS and try out new stuff and connect it also to your domain (A and CNAMR records).

They LET us KEEP our data... so they're NOT (yet) using their market power to do what they want?

I think this headline got it wrong: If MS wants to do business with Europe, they have to follow our privacy laws or face hufe fines and ultimately the boot (which would benefit nobody).

And furthermore: Most of these shitty apps are nothing more than overblown API clients. Which means they didn't want to build a website and operate a webserver, so instead you provide the processing power for the UI yourself. These apps usually can't do anything on their own, if you are offline, becaue all the value is generated remotely by the actual server.

The modern software experience sucks much!

This asshat is also just beating around the performance bush that doesn't exist, only to avoid calling the firing a layoff. Disgusting.

Translation: "But... muh slaves!"

They do, in the EU. If you fuck up your customer's data, you'll face fines consisting of hefty percentages of your yearly revenue!

Wow so dumb! Yes, fuck progress and fuck nuclear energy! Let's burn coal again like in the dark ages!

How is a AirBnB "guest" a tenant at all? WTF? Think about hotels: What would a hotel do, if you overstayed? They'd lock you out and flip you the bird.

How is it not possible to just call the police because of trespassing?

So as a driver I have now a filter for better rape and murder victims? Nice!

I recently started using https://github.com/immich-app/immich

It's basically a self hosted Google Photos and it's working really well. You can just mount your heap of photos into the container, declare it as external library and you're good to go.

After a few hours/days of training the face recognition, extracting meta data, generating thumbnails ans possibly transcoding videos you'll have a very responsive and easily searchable timeline of ALL your pictures and videos.

The old fish costs $3.92 per 100g, the new fish $5. That's a price increase of (255/200 - 1) = 27.5%. The difference per gram (which isn't of interest to anybody) is 5-3.92, i.e. ¢1.08. Which also equates to a (5/3.92 - 1) = 27.5% increase.

Not sure what you were calculating, but every result was wrong.

Yes! Social media gossip is NOT "technology".

A self-hostes RSS reader? Probably the ability to read your stuff from anywhere without installing something. Like on your work PC... ;)

Only because they write something in their shitty corporate document doesn't mean that it holds up later. Sure they can write, that you sold your soul to them, but that doesn't mean that it is binding at all.

After all you never signed any contract with them. Not even via Docusign (which wouldn't even be binding in my country, lol... worthless).

Yes they can send you a bill, but there's always room for more toilet paper. Or just send them a fantasy bill back yourself 🤷

Do you run your PiHole on top of Docker? There's an issue with docker and Raspberry Pis which makes the network crap out periodically. So if your PuHole becomes unavailable until you restart your Pi it might be this:

Solution is to add "denyinterfaces veth*" to the dhcpd.conf

Media Server? No content backup at all.

If you lose everything, just download new stuff you want to watch, or redownload a few TV series/movies.

Music? There are streaming services.

Only backup configurations and maybe application data, so that the reinstall will be easy. Those few kB/MB could sit anywhere. I'm using GitLab for this purpose.

Edit: Images! If you have your photos on there, back them up! They can't be replaced!

For anyone wondering: 7th graders are usually 12-13 years old children!

More efficient or even lossless, sustainable energy storage.
