Using DRM to pry privacy out of this clusterfuck is chef's kiss

That last panel of unadulterared joy... The most precious thing you can get from a child ๐Ÿฅน

Secrets go in Keepass.

For server configs, a LibreOffice Writer file per machine (except for RPs, I only have one for those), written as a didactic manual explaining how to install and configure everything (I work on bare metal still). I started that way since diving into self-hosting was also a way to learn Linux, Sys-Admin and web-hosting. I don't do anything without updating the relevant chapters, or creating new ones. Not gonna lie: it's tedious. But also a life-saver, and the rationals for my choices remain available years later, which is priceless in many ways.

Once upon a time I had neat network gear running, and I mostly YOLO-ed the doc for those, relying instead on the firmware/config backups. I had to put those devices away, but when I finally get to play with them again, I'm going to suffer re-learning and re-discovering everything.

Recently, I got to hack and old console, and just did a chronological log-file with actions taken and URLs to guides, instead of writing down everything myself. It got me thinking I might add a simple log-file to track my actions, on top of my usual guides.

Or not. Having a life is nice too ๐Ÿ˜…

Wayland is the future, but not quite the present yet ๐Ÿ˜…

Keepass (Windows) + Keepass2Android + Nextcloud has ben my winning combo for years. Recently switched to a Linux desktop and went with KeepassXC: still happy, except for Wayland not letting you AutoType (should be solvable though, but I lost interest at "reinstall X.org"...)

Off Gandi since they got bought and jacked up all prices a couple years ago. Galae.net (France) is working well.

My drying rack takes a bit of room for 24h every 2 weeks and folds to non-existence between loads, so I don't really share that logic.

Plus, it does not try to compete with my water tank on electricity consumption.

She's plays neither Molly Millions nor Lady 3Jane, per the article, so there's hope ๐Ÿคž
