Yet streaming music has basically the same artists no matter which service you use. And Tidal integrates with Plex seamlessly with my own local collection. Worth the subscription for that.

Do that. (But they won’t)

Marketing ruined the Internet. This wasn’t a problem before the eternal September.

Moving our naemon/thruk/pnp instance to omd. I need to figure out how to manage it with ansible and add our own authentication. Otherwise I hope it is easier to maintain.

If I need something when I’m roaming about, my ssh bastion has the nas mounted.

Linode has been ok for me. I wouldn’t use their managed services. If you need that type of scale go to AWS.

One cool thing I experienced with linode yesterday is I could boot from one of their kernels instead of my own grub kernel. I had a bad update on alma9 and this made recovery much easier without having to rebuild the node.

If you interacted with an ATM in the 90’s - 2000’s it was likely running OS/2. It was superior to windows, but lost in the end. Many of the concepts of the workplace shell were ahead of other DEs even today. KDE initiallly borrowed a lot from the wps.

It works the same either way. Borg does a lot of different backups on my home network. I also have more than just Borg backups that I want off-site, so an rclone of everything from that nas share once after everything else is done makes more sense than duplicating Borg everywhere. The rclone’d stuff can be used directly just like if it was put there by Borg itself.

That is rsync.net’s entire business model.

I still rclone my Borg repos there instead of relying on snapshots though.
