I used to think that too, but it’s day 144 and still no tomatoes!

(Referencing a meme for those who are confused)

Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.

Just pointing out that housing is so absurd in that area, parking spaces are housing in many of those areas. I drive through and the roads are lined with campers and RV’s from all the tech workers grabbing their bag of gold after a couple years and bugging off somewhere cheap.

Personally, I think IPv6 is not a good choice for any service you don’t want associated with a specific device. As I understand it, the prefix delegation comes from the ISP, but often the interface ID is derived from the machine’s MAC address which is a link to specific machine hardware, can reveal information about the host, and possibly deanonymoized across networks.

I’d stick with IPv4 because NAT gives a tad more anonymity. Just my $0.02 though.

That’s good news! It would be great if relays made it difficult to be targeted. I last tinkered with TOR almost… Jeez!.. 20 years ago haha!

I ran a relay too way, way back in the day and I remember almost a third of the sites I used blacklisted my IP address within days. It wasn’t cool.

I ended up shutting it down, resetting my cable modem, and spoofing a new MAC address on my router to get a new IP address to get everything working again.

Using a VPN is smarter. I wouldn’t run that on IPv6 whatsoever.

About 10 years ago, I just moved and my new neighbor had an open network. Problem was they were 2 houses away and across the street. I set up a tiny repeater in my car with a battery pack and parked half way between us.

It worked surprising well for about 6 months.

I just did something sort of like what you are doing and after a few hiccups, it’s working great. My Synology just couldn’t handle transcoding with docker containers running in the background.

Couple differences from your plan: I chose a N100 over the N150 because it used less power and I wasn’t loading up CPU dependent tasks on the thing. The N150 is about 30% faster if memory serves, but draws more power. Second, do you really need a second m.2 SSD BTRFS volume? Your Synology is perfectly capable of being the file storage. I’d personally spend the money you’d save buying a smaller N150 device on a tasty drive to expand the existing capacity then start a second pool from scratch.

Finally, I wouldn’t worry about converting media unless you are seriously pinched for space. Every time you do, you lose quality.

Ditto to your comment except power usage. I moved my Plex/Jellyfin (and hopefully Immich soon) docker containers to an N100 for the hardware acceleration. TDP is 6 watts on some of these devices and CPU use sits around 2% unless Plex is doing DB optimizations (about 60% for a bit). I haven’t measured consumption or my older server, but I feel moving some CPU intensive services to hardware GPU is saving a few watts.

Me either. Well, except for the very occasional post-pizza party apocalypse.

Have a low flow shower head too, and the only reason it sucks is because our hard water from the city leaves mineral deposits on the tiny nozzles that clog easier. But a soak in descaler and it’s back to new.

I’d argue the imported ones do meet all applicable standards, since they’re exempt.

Well, yeah. That is the loophole being used.

As for 25 year old vehicle, my daily driver is 21, has satellite navigation, California LEV (low emissions vehicle), 5-star safety rating.

There hasn’t really been some revolutionary advancement in safety in the past 25 years other than slapping some more computers, cameras and design tweaks. Actually, the beeping sensors in the bumpers are pretty nice. I like those.

We had good tech back then that stands up well to modern-day cars. It may not have the nagging of modern safety systems, but I don’t get false warnings either.

Oh gosh, this article again. Why does the date say 2025? This was discussed ad nauseam last year.

Cliffsnotes: Why was it blocked? The foreign car built to tight regulations in one market doesn’t meet safety standards in another country. This happens all over the world and is nothing new. Yes, people are exploiting a loophole to import them. The DMV got wise.

I tried to update my lemmy instance and it all went so horribly wrong. DB never came up, errors everywhere, searching implied I updated to a dev branch sometime in the past (not a dev, don’t think I did) and it’ll be console and DB queries for a fix.

Ran out of time and overwhelmed, I restored backups and buried my head in the sand. Nope, not now. Future, yes, but oh not now.

People don’t use VPN to bypass CGNAT, they use it to protect their IP address. The 'ol saying “Don’t shit where you eat” applies. Probably worth looking into depending on location.

Same boat here. I chose Plex because the apps were everywhere. Smart TV’s, phones, web…

I can switch, no problem. I don’t want to have to teach my parents a new app. OMFG!

Sorry bud, I understand your position. I miss the old reddit too but less so what it has morphed into the past couple years. Lemmy is young, and yeah, some folks here walk/cross some lines I wouldn’t. There is a bit of a bot problem creeping in but lemmy is t big enough for that to be a serious problem yet.

But then again you’re exactly the user we need. My presence here is what I want lemmy to be and yeah, I’ve locked horns with some folks on some discussions. In the end it’s us users who make lemmy what it is.

Hey, you asked… I just answered.

Generally, artificial sweeteners are chemically synthesized while natural sweeteners are grown and refined.

I used to grow the stevia plant in my garden.

It’s interesting to read people’s reactions to stevia. I don’t seem to have the same reactions/aftertaste others point out.

I much prefer stevia over other sweeteners. I wonder if there is some sort of cilantro type thing going on.

Edit: Turns out stevia can taste different to other people!

On the plus side, stevia isn’t artificial.
