It allows me to connect into the house via the VPS without opening ports or knowing my home address.

Nowadays there are various companies offering tunnelling services, but my setup has been working for a long time and I see no reason to change.

It’s the root OS; that Pi is a media centre in the living room (plus it’s taken on a few extra duties since it’s always online). It’s been going for a good few years now, 8+?

I’ve been running OSMC (Kodi on Debian) plus a few useful things like maintaining a reverse SSH connection to a VPS.

Yup: Backblaze Product and Pricing Updates

I plan to switch over later when it makes sense to - the nice thing about Backblaze is that it scales with your storage, whereas with Hetzner you have to jump from 1 TB to 5 TB.

It’s for storing a few terabytes of fairly static media (for the most part, write-once). The codebases using it don’t natively support object storage (and will be in Docker containers).

It’s on a Hetzner server, and Backblaze (even after the price increase) will be a lot cheaper than normal drives, although their storage box option is probably better value over about two GB.

When I last used Debian, I found myself very annoyed with the lag in the package manager. This is a very long time ago (15 years?), so probably isn’t the case any longer. However, due to laziness (or proactively avoiding a bikeshed rabbit hole) I didn’t check and just chose Ubuntu over Debian the other day because of that.

You may be right; it was about 20 years ago I watched it. Perhaps their conclusion was it happens just as much when the lid is down.

Yeah, the original thin clients were basically useless without the server they connected to, but nowadays even computers the size of a stick of gum are plenty powerful enough for consuming webpages and videos.

You still need peripherals like mouse, keyboard and screen but you might get them as part of the package (sounds like you already have them though).

That’s a great demonstration, and also makes me want to go clubbing.

Toothbrushes were mentioned, and I’d assume that the toothpaste does a good enough job at killing bacteria that it doesn’t make a difference, aside from that the bacterial load is probably low enough to be negligible.

But yeah, you don’t want to be thinking about putting a pooey stick in your mouth either.

toilet aura

I guess your downvoter is pro toilet aura.

Good point bot, fixed.

I cross-posted to !nostupidquestions@mander.xyz and got a good scientific reply.

I guess lemmy.world is more interested in beans or three-day challenges 😁

Yes, toothbrushes live uncomfortably close to the loo in my house too.

A friend gave me some light banter about closing the lid = under my wife’s thumb but it’s absolutely about me attempting to keep the toilet business contained to the toilet!

What did you move on to, and what features made you move?

Alan Schaaf created Imgur while he was at uni and he never worked for Reddit, but I believe it was made for Reddit primarily (Reddit didn’t support uploading images until 2016).

my account is still 100% storj token funded

That seems to be the key bit, since everyone can use up to 25TB (if they can pay for it). Are you also hosting a node to earn credits tokens?

Reddit hardly came up with that thermometer-style fundraising display; it’s older then the internet.

I love Mermaid, although I don’t think you can currently do network diagrams. I’ve seen Kroki recommended here for doing that, which supports Mermaid plus many similar markup-based diagrammers.
