Honest question, but do you not consider environment variables to be a form of simple config? https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/040_backup.html#envi...

oh wow, rtorrent is something I hadn't thought about in years. I actually ended up using it to image PCs back in the 2010s since the network administrator didn't want to configure multicast on the network/vlan. It actually wo

You have to be careful here that a one-to-many relationship doesn't exist and returns more than 1 row -- it'll cause an error and halt your query

I could see myself using it from time to time ... I'm _just_ nerdy enough to even do it in public!

Do you think this is mostly due to nostalgia or is there the possibility that others would find the same act joyful if they didn't have the same shared sense of nostalgia?

Ostensibly, everyone posting information on the open web want to share information -- either directly with people or indirectly via search engines _and_ the current crop of llms (which in my mind, serve the same purpose as search engines) I

I guess that's also kinda my poorly made point -- I imagine that these earbuds are like any other electronic device in the fact that they'll break in a handful of years and end up being irreparable in some way that results in just

I want to love these but at the price point you can basically buy 3-4 sets of (likely) technically comparable wireless earbuds that will (likely) last a year or two. How long can I expect fairbuds to last? I can't imagine it would be c

Same. It's amazing not having my server hammered by malicious actors and hardening it by not even offering the ssh service on the primary network interface

Without looking I'm going to assume that the Surface Go is not an open source hardware platform -- not to mention the fact that it's produced by a company that's been famously anti-open source for most of its existence.

Are there times when limiting oneself to "simple" SQL-only solutions is bad? Is this one of those times? Feels like "yes" to both questions here. Edit: (here's the previous post from hacker news with the most commen

Doesn't the fact that you don't need to deal with as much air at higher altitude make it much easier to increase the extra amount of delta v needed?

Neat! Nearest traffic fatality to my house happened 22 years ago. Oddly it involved three women -- two in their late 70s and one in her late 90s.

That's a fair point -- a reverse proxy setup may be outside the scope of the jellyfin project, but as others have pointed out they also provide an official docker image with a docker compose and other container management solutions. It

Plex really does have a lot going for it with the really nice Apps -- Plexamp works especially well with large music libraries. I hadn't used Jellyfin in some time, but I went to set it up last week, and it's still not as simple a

The only think I don't like about the Eero is all the "subscribe to a monthly service to unlock features that should just come out of the box" -- I use Eeros for the smart TVs / smart phones etc. and then have another wi

I had picked up their GL-MT3000 "Baryl" travel router -- which is a really great little device. I was pretty impressed, so when my home router (Ubiquity EdgeRouter X ) died a few weeks back, I replaced it with the GL.iNet GL-MT600

I like GL.inet -- although, the fact that they're a Chinese company could be a bit of a concern. They lean heavily on Open WRT for software, but apparently some of the drivers used are "mostly opensource" ... whatever that me

Feels like this could have used a few more solid examples up-front. I think another good example would be PlayStation Network using the natural key of "gamer tags" as the primary key to identify players would be a good example. Si

Thanks! that's good to keep in mind for sure. I use this mainly for running something out of cron where i want to make sure it gets placed into that directory since many of the scripts i have are written to expect that.

I like using this little trick to change the directory to the one in which the script resides... #!/bin/bash cd "$(dirname "$0")"
