18 days agoI’ll have to look again, I should have specified I’m in the US but it used some kinda integration that was common for EU banks but not US ones, so I had to import reports manually.

Oh sorry, what I meant was there’s a standard to do that with European banks, yeah, but US banks don’t have it, so you gotta manually download and import stuff. At least that’s how it was last I checked.
Glad to hear people like it because I thought it was really cool…
…But not having that European easy bank import option and having to manually download your sheets and import them is probably why I didn’t stick to it very well…
…but then again it imported those sheets like magic so there’s that!
This is a big reason I only remotely access my services via TailScale / Wireguard.
Even if my highly restricted ISP let me open anything, I wouldn’t dare. I know for certain I don’t know as much as who/whatever is hunting for open ports out there. I have zero interest in instantly being assimilated into some botnet lol.
That actually seems like a really cool application for it.
My first thought, rather cynical, was “I kinda hope this doesn’t just become a way to serve a mirror of stolen games at scale.” That would be sad.
But also I’m sure the bandwidth that’d take would be quite prohibitive anyway.
Serving LAN / multiplayer games to friends and family, with the right patches and stuff applied, sounds excellent.
UT2k4, War/StarCraft, Mobile Forces, Metal Fatigue, Warsow, Battlefield, Nerf Arena Blast…
Could even do some real vintage stuff like Rainbow Six or Deus Ex’s multiplayer mode LOL.
I tried to think of niche things you probably wouldn’t find on GameRanger haha. (Geeze I haven’t used that in ages…wonder if it’s Linux friendly?)
“Fool me twice well… Shame on… Shame on…Point being we been fooled once we won’t get fooled again!”
Haha nice! There’s also this gizmo that looks really promising. I think this is the one where they were talking about an LTE module. Or yeah, could always just tether!

Also this DIY project that seems a bit more… Involved.
Man, TIL. That’s pretty disgusting. :(
I need to try Homarr again, but carefully.
I think my first experience ended with it causing a massive memory leak because I didn’t configure it properly and its error logs got crazy out of control and crashed my server lol. 😂
Well, okay, you’re talking “end of the free and open Internet” which, yeah, would be a pretty big and terrible deal, and I really hope people and institutions that are able, are archiving such important things! (I should see how big that Wikipedia archive is for kicks lol). But yeah, we’d have much bigger problems.
We gotta support archive.org and our libraries for this reason! I would hate to be without them.
I personally wasn’t talking about digital “prepping” so much as I was talking about motivations for hoarding data of things we’re interested in. Our media becoming lost media because wealthy interests don’t give a crap or, worse, decided to censor it.
Not everyone is just hoarding Sailor Moon episodes; people have tons of books and manuals too just because it interests them. Lots of people preserve video game ROMs as well, which has thankfully kept those works from disappearing entirely.
Moving that information would become significantly more difficult without a free and open Internet, but that’s a different “threat model” worth its own conversation, I think.
For what you’re talking about. I bet you’d be interested in someone like Marion Stokes , for instance, who “data hoarded” tons of recordings of television news, and that archive actually proved useful to historians way later.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment and perspective. :)
“I mean, not allowing vpns for personal use would stop us all.”
Yes and no. We’d go back to sneakernets. :)
… But that would be significantly more unpleasantly limited than the current ways of doing things…
I think a big fuel for these storage anxieties is the very real situation we’re in right now, where we’re watching the “forever Internet” erode and crumble before our eyes, and getting rug-pulled from every direction service-wise, and losing access to media we don’t have a hard copy of.
I do wish there were a better way to pool all this storage for a common library of preservation…I mean I guess Internet Archive is like that but they’re constantly under attack. All this is under heaps of legal “gray area” and obviously the media titans want to force a rental-only-own-nothing world.
Right now we kinda have to become a scattered group of amateur historians and librarians, to preserve our culture.
Oh crap, how’s KeePass got an LLM involved‽ Time to look into this now…
I did find https://codeberg.org/ChiPass/ChiPass , but it looks like a very new project.
Yep. Seconding this!
KeePass + Syncthing is the best.
Back up the database(s) regularly. (Syncthing can also retain
xnumber of versions and things like that, but also do your own 3-2-1 backups.)You can use something as simple as a Pi, or an old laptop, or even an old phone if you get creative, as an always-on syncthing server to keep them synchronized. KeePassXC even has a fancy integration with Firefox, so all you gotta do is unlock your database and click autofill on websites.
I’m just using Docker on Proxmox, buuuut… I’m gonna look into this project. It looks like a LIFESAVER. Thank you for sharing this. You’re awesome! :D
Don’t worry, you’re one Docker pull away from having to look up how to manually migrate Postgres databases within running containers!
(Looks at my PaperlessNGX container still down. Still irritated.)
Exactly. I’ve got a 4TB mirror setup for my pictures I reclaimed from Google Photos, and music, and other important stuff. It also backs up to iDrive which is really affordable. (Hopefully stays that way…)
What sucks is I scored a deal on a pair of WD Red 4TBs to add, but one was defective (secondhand, and WDs RMA procedure is STRICT.) , so now I’m stuck with a half expansion I don’t know what to do with and it’s kinda not responsible for me to spend >100 bucks completing the mirror right now.
My media collection isn’t on a mirror or backed up or anything because it’s naturally way larger than everything else, but I think for the stuff that truly matters, this will see us through.
Lol! Source is like the second to last paragraph of “Prologue.”
A ton of Linux usage involves the direct or indirect management and commanding of daemons, too. <_<
I think we cracked it: Linux is free and open sourcery. XD
Lol I’m really curious about the etymology behind all these computing terms now!
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out something like “kernels and shells” was a historically common analogy though.
Yeah like the other guy I couldn’t find anything on this Mosquitto either. I’m curious! Haha. (I found some GitHub project with like zero information hah)
