I don't think we can prove the arches are useless. What if they're involved in power generation or knowledge storage or like...the production of lube or whatever.
A little minor struggle with Immich. It happens sometimes that I cannot upload MOV files. Not all, just some. I've tended to circumvent its making big refusals by switching between my reverse proxied address and my local IP address for it but that didn't work today, and since these are videos of my baby, I'm a little frustrated. I don't really have the time to dig into that though.
I wonder whether it's possible to split tunnel traffic bound for the app from web traffic so I can serve it to my family members without exposing it to the web. Right now I don't trust its security—the authors even state you really shouldn't—so I have it behind a Cloudflare Zero Trust MFA prompt. But I get comments sometimes from family that it feels like a hoop to jump through since the longest CF will let them stay authorized is 30 days. Not a real 'today' thing, but just a general thing. It's the app I use the most besides Jellyfin, both to free myself from Microsoft, Google and Apple's monthly subscriptions, but also, to share privately my baby photos with the family so I can protect the kid's privacy and all that. I wish it was smoother for my end users but I've done what I can for now.
I tried migrating to new hardware recently because I wanted to virtualize most everything. I thought there was sense in being able to get snapshots in proxmox for rollback and ease of backup purposes. It ended up that only about half my servers made it over, and Immich and Jellyfin didn't make the cut because they need a Quadro T400 that lives in the original machine. Chatbot led me to think passing that GPU through virtualization was going to be a major complicating factor.
I've got a backup NAS off-site at my parent's house ~20 miles away but it has been offline since I changed ISPs because my silly ass hard-coded my public IP address into WireGuard's config (it auto-launches WG on boot) rather than a DNS address that gets dynamic DNS updating and resolves to whatever my home IP is. I should get to make it out to fix that on Thursday, finally. I went to all this trouble to buy and set up a backup NAS and it has been totally without backups for probably two months now.
Back to the subject of Cloudflare, I know they have a laundry list of security things I need to look at and I want to take those things seriously. With the new baby, and with how demoralized I have felt from work, and with of course all the normal obligations of life, I haven't ever had the time or felt like dealing with it, but I have a degree in cybersecurity and I want to take my home network / home lab security seriously. For protecting myself of course, but also because I think it'll be a big growing opportunity technically; maybe some stuff I learn can end up on the résumé. I desperately need to get out of my current role and anything that would help the résumé would be good. But there never seems to be time. Or if there is time there is no will.
I had a Cisco 2960x in my basement that I never did much with because I was suspicious it was drawing a lot of power (likely coincidence but it seemed like the electric bill went up every month I tried plugging it in), and it didn't seem to have enough memory to run without constantly causing me issues. I wanted to learn Cisco switches with it since I don't get enough hands-on time at work but it just didn't seem to work out. I was going to sell it on Facebook but never made time to do that either, so today I just put it back in the rack to have one less thing on the floor. Ironically, now we've upgraded to 3Gbps Internet and none of my home network stuff supports it. If I'd thought about that I would have likely let the ISP install their own mesh APs but I had put so much money and time into my own setup, I thought, surely I don't need them putting their hardware in my home. Well, here we are, and neither my little baby switch, nor my Cisco switch, nor even my OPNsense router support 3Gbps and there's no money to upgrade any of it 🥲
That's about all I can think of for today. Check in next Sunday, and I bet the update would be precisely the same :p
This is going to have an asterisk because I'm in a fairly remote area on vacation. Like, in the Upper Peninsula, not a lot of grocery competition.
But we went to get some food for the week at this grocery store today, and I was staggered by the prices, many of which were crazy out of step with what I'd pay in my home state at a random Walmart or similar chain. The smallest Lucky Charms was over $6; the largest was on sale for $4 and change but only if you had the store loyalty card. If you use the store loyalty card it doesn't auto-discount anything, you have to use the credit card reader to scroll the available coupons and try to pick the ones relevant to your cart.
Normal sized Starbucks whole bean bag was $17. Extra big one was like $27. Of course I bought neither.
Twizzlers in the big bag was two for $8. Fuck off lol.
They extrude corn syrup and artificial flavoring for pennies and will do anything to increase or maintain profit margins as people can less and less afford luxuries like sweet treats with 0 nutritional value. They're going to price us all into diets with their inflexibility and greed.
Haha. If you go to Half Priced Books, you may find a spinning tower rack of sci-fi books with amazing covers, all of which are also in plastic sealed baggies.
I adore this kind of art...the sort of old painted and airbrushed sci-fi art that would appear in magazines and on the covers of books. Sometimes I buy old sci-fi books just for the cover art. Invariably there is smut in the opening 5 pages lol. Just a pattern I've noticed :p
Similar situation here. R5 5600X, RTX 3070, 32GB DDR4, and absolutely no incentive to upgrade. I wouldn't give a shit to upgrade even if we lived in a pre-AI, pre-COVID scalping market and everything was priced fairly like it was in the GTX 10-series days. But I certainly will not be paying $700 for a fucking M.2 drive or RAM kit. Fuck alllllll the way off.
I wonder about the timing of this. I just got a backup NAS out at my mom's house some miles away and for one or two beautiful days I was sending Rsync differential backup jobs through the vendor interface for backups over Wireguard. The NAS is still on my network over WG, comes back up in that way after a reboot…but for the last week, those backup jobs just break with a useless error. I haven't had the time to look under the hood at logs but I've been assuming this was slopping config on my part cause I'm new at it. But it would almost be a relief if it was just a bad update (before the graver implications of the situation set in on my mind). I wish I had enough background in this stuff to be useful, but I'm just a bystander and a grateful, useless end user.
Update: he's gonna sell it to me in early June even though his own Miata won't arrive for as much as a month after that. This, to compromise between getting to spend a little longer with it and making sure I get to enjoy it all Summer. What an absolute G.
We have so much debt but also all the police forces have become hyper militarized and laden with the left-over military hardware of the last 30 years of American warfare.

Tired. Tired, tired.

Can somebody remind me what this content creator / series name is? There's one I want to dig up on YouTube but I can't remember what to search.
This makes more sense
I approve but that was some clunky ass writing. This person needs a better social team.
I don't know about all these ticks out in the woods.

But I did :'(
Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing!

I love looking at big cats for this reason. There's something so cute about them having people-ish (or dog-ish, as you please) eyes.
lol holy smokes...3 years later, I graduated last year, and my subscribe is still pending?
