Sooo… I’m to treat him with no respect at all? Gotcha!

Booing? Jeering when he talks? Insulting him? Lying about basic and easily fact checked things? Posting stickers all over the place, blaming President “Taco” for things that are not remotely under his control? Can do.

Sorry, my memory is a bit better than the average Republican voter, but I’m sure there are even more “respectful” things I’ve forgotten.

Fuck off.

They still hold use up RAM even when the service is idle. I started with PIs for my home server. RAM usage was the reason I wound up switching to x86

He can fuck on off. That’s up to the States.

Fetlife is the only one I can think of.

An irrelevant practice perhaps. Once you have the media and have stripped any DRM trackers aren’t generally a worry anymore, at least not from the media files. Other software on your system may be another question entirely.

Might ask around in !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as to best practices, as they are generally pretty privacy oriented by necessity.

One piece of advice, backup that flash drive. Flash drives are not reliable storage.

Beyond that, I’m doing much the same thing for much the same reason. I’m a couple of terabytes ahead of you, though.

I wound up putting everything on a NAS and setting up remote access through Tailscale.

There are things I can deal with and there are things I can not. I’m not about to waste precious resources worrying about things I can’t affect. I do my part when opportunity presents, but winter is coming, and Me and Mine are not yet prepared.

If you think you can change what is coming, then by all means, but I’ve got more pressing concerns at present.

That’s fine. My filters will just continue sending them to /dev/null.

So I’m seeing a bunch of complaining about this. Anybody have any actionable suggestions on how to frustrate this intrusion?

I self host a lot of different things, some public (like my Nextcloud instance) and others are only on my home network (like paperless). Basically, if I know I’m going to allow non-techy folks to access the service I’ll consider making it public, otherwise it stays on my VPN.

Setting them up was mostly just downloading their docker-compose.yaml adjusting a few variables to suit my needs and then running docker compose up -d to bring them online.

For the most part, maintaining the service consists of making backups and just pulling the new containers when it’s time to update (docker compose pull && docker compose up -d).

As for hardware, mostly it’s just old desktops I’ve repurposed into servers. I don’t generally use VPSs unless it’s something I really don’t want to go down if my home internet goes out. Right now, nothing I have is running on a VPS, but the last service would have been my Matrix server. When I couldn’t get any of my friends and family onboard with it I shut it down and started using a public Matrix server instead.

I use Forgejo for my private git repos but in all honesty, it’s massive overkill for my needs.

Not in the US.

Nice truck, but damn that’s an expensive pickup.

How bad must the full Epstein files be for Trump to be thrashing about this much? Former President Obama hasn’t been a frequent name in the news for what, 10 8 years?

Edit: Has it seriously only been 8 years since we had some semblance normalcy in this country. It feels like a lifetime ago.

If I remember correctly correctly, it was something like reckless discharge or a firearm. It’s bullshit, but it’s all the “justice” her family will see.

Good.

From personal experience, depending on how old they are, use them as coasters.

With very few exceptions, consumer grade optical media is really only good for sharing files.

Back in the 2000’s I had been using them to store backups of files. Found out the hard way that that was not a suitable use for them when I had a hard drive fail. Disk rot is a bitch if you’re not expecting it.

That said, if you and your family still have CD players, you might think about making them mix CDs. It’s also possible to burn your archived movies or tv shows onto them in DVD or Video-CD formats. I expect most DVD players can still read the Video CD format.

So… It’s a password book? Like, pen and paper?Not the best choice for storing passwords, but I’d be more willing to do that than trusting Amazon not to hold my passwords hostage with a digital service by them.

Amazon is easier to get the music from as long as you don’t have a subscription to their streaming service. Apple has a lot of hoops you need to jump through. See my comment in the root thread.
