Is a cloud backup an acceptable backup for a home server?
If I have a home server connected to Proton Drive for example, would that be sufficient to back up my data?
Discussion of CVE-2017-5226
CVE-2017-5226 is a issue with bubblewrap that allows a program running in a sandbox to excape and get the same privileges as a the parent process. I recently discovered this by mistake and it is fairly concerning to me. I believe it applies to Flatpak as Flatpak uses bubblewrap under the hood....
Personal music servarr with a mobile app?
I’ve been on Tidal for years, but it’s frustrating to use for lots of reasons (they only pay their artists slightly better than Spotify, streaming services are flaky, works poorly with my DLNA home speakers). I’m looking for something I can selfhost with the following features, and I would appreciate any suggestions in...
if you like doing your job and going home, how do you bear with coworkers who are lazier but more popular than you and get away with doing less?
you might be an introvert, passionate about your job, or simply old enough to disregard friendships at work because you already have enough friends and a family....

whats something that brings you back to your childhood happy place?
I’ve got two, one, is we love katamari, which I’m currently playing the rerelease of on steam. The Japanese culture, the wonderfully wacky story and gameplay, the weird but enrapturing soundtrack all coalesced into something new and amazing for me that to this day 20 years later I’m still glued to the screen for....
I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI
I’ve been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn’t take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced...
Outer wilds: at what point should I give up?
Ever since it came out I have heard only good things about this game. And it sounds like a perfect fit for me. I enjoy figuring out puzzles, I enjoy figuring out lore and I love to explore....

What would you do if you were on an underground train, when suddenly the train shook, you passed through a portal, and the next thing you knew your carriage was lying in an unknown new world?
Edit: apparently this is a very common form of Japanese storytelling called an isekai. There are 8 billion people in this world, no idea can be original. And sometimes you miss out on things many other people know. I’m clearly one of today’s lucky 10000.
What would you like for everyone to know about the type of job you have?
Well since I’ve been mostly in customer service jobs I’d like for people to know that the reps don’t make the rules or decisions. When there is something about a store or service that’s undesirable such as prices then it’s something to bring up to upper management or just let them lose you as a customer. But you can be...
Advice on whether to get a contracted job or not
Basically, I currently work in a digital cinema company as a helpdesk for them and the job pays ok but is pretty stable as my colleagues have all been there for years. I have an interview soon for a FAANG company to be on their IT Helpdesk. It’s a job that will give me a lot of good experience, but it is a 6 month contract...

Need advice on new wireless controllers for couch coop
Hello all, I’m looking to buy 4-8 controllers for some couch coop games and haven’t found any clear winners so far. I’m leaning 2.4Ghz as I’ve heard problems about bluetooth controllers disconnecting on the steam deck and always appreciate less latency. I also don’t need any fancy features like gyro or touchpads, just...
What's something that seems obvious within your profession, but the general public seems to misunderstand?
Subset Games created two amazing games: FTL & Into The Breach
I’m not sure if this counts as a “patient gamer” because I played them to death years ago…but I’ve been playing both again recently and they’re just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They’re not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they’re old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!...
Distro for n100
I’m trying to decide on a distro for my n100 mini pc. It’ll be for watching content, browsing the web, using discord And playing music. I have Garuda running in it right now just as a tester to see how it did at emulation and honestly it ran 3DS games pretty swell lol. But it feels very bogged down overall. Anything really...

What are your favorite browser extensions?
Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything....
