I've been super happy with it. Knock on wood it's been super reliable. I have a single ZFS drive, take snapshots with various retention policies, nothing fancy.

Another fun thing is to set up a reverse proxy on it as an endpoint for services on your local (home) network which can only be accessed by VPN. For example, my Jellyfin service isn't public facing, but I didn't want e.g. my parents to need to set up WireGuard. So instead they can point their TV to a raspberry pi on their network to access the service


even a first gen RPI can handle Jellyfin reverse proxy over WireGuard for moderate bitrates!

In my experience, the blue (405nm) lasers pointers can far, far exceed the nominal (5mW?) power.

"Necessary, but not sufficient" sums up the role of a degree for a lot of jobs.

Remind me again, what color was Obama's scandalous suit?

Ah, right, that's why it looked familiar


pretty sure I've seen articles from there posted in one of The Onion communities in lemmy.

I'm not mad at the huge amount I pay in taxes. I'm mad about what I get in return.

Only disagreement from me (in California, USA) is that I wouldn't diminish the actions of our neighbors to the north by calling them "petty" in this instance. Nothing petty about standing up to a bully in whatever capacity you can. 🫡

As far as I can tell the "mostly true" (rather than true full stop) is this:

"The federal government does not have a separate, dedicated revenue stream exclusively for disaster aid," said Joel Tirado, an institute spokesperson. "FEMA funding comes from general revenue aggregated nationally. So, it isn’t possible to know how much of California’s taxes go to disaster relief specifically."

So basically, money is fungible, and we (CA) send the most money (absolutely, though not per capita).

WireGuard, and an external HDD. Run at a remote location for off-site backup.

I do this with a raspberry pi 3 at the in-laws. I copied the data over locally before setting it up, and after that it's just nightly incremental rsync, which is fine even over my slow (35Mbps) upload.

You can turn it off, at least for ext4: https://lwn.net/Articles/784041/

Although you can use case insensitive filesystems with Linux, and case sensitive filesystems with macOS. I believe the case sensitivity is a function of the specific filesystem


but yeah, practically, the root for Linux is always case sensitive, and APFS ~~ain't~~ is only if you ask it to be ( https://support.apple.com/lv-lv/guide/disk-utility/dsku19ed921c/mac ).
