NetBSD

I dailied NetBSD for 5 or 6 years until I replaced my ancient laptop. The new laptops wifi chipset wasn’t supported so I moved on to Linux. I still read NetBSD and pkgsrc release notes, but its not like it was.

I bought like $20k of INTC when it was $19 and sold at $25

Lol - I love this perspective. You wouldn’t happen to be employed by UnitedHealthcare, would you?

I made a DaaS product https://kaleh.net/trace. A lot goes into it:

• endpoint location
• transformation of records into canonical model
• storage/indexing
• WWW html & copy
• Billing integration
• the whole thing

It took awhile to plan out and develop, but I am proud that it exists and that I have subscribers. Now that I have a dataset, I am working on other product offerings atop that dataset.

Years ago I was listening to a podcast about the KGB and remember a discussion about how one of their strategies was to overload the media. Instead of pushing one storyline of current events, they pushed many, often conflicting, storylines to confuse and paralyze public discourse.

AI is the new KGB.

I’ve been with Posteo almost a decade, that part was pretty easy. I remember downloading everything from Google Drive was pretty easy back then as well.

Then I used stock android until maybe a year ago when my phone was too old to get updates and too old to be supported by my banks app so I migrated to LineageOS.

The messaging app landscape is kind of a mess, so I use SMS/MMS BC as you’ve noted the landscape is fragmented at best.

I solved file storage with AlainKnaff/Android-SFTP-Documents-Provider which just SFTPs into my desktop at home.

I believe in you

It’s taxed differently as well

I hear you and don’t really think “more expensive” is something car mfgs care about ATM. If anything, that’s a feature for them. i think average price of a new car is about $50k

Goddamn communists

Exactly. Just because a medium can be used to broadcast rascist bullshit doesn’t mean we should eliminate it.

I was outside fishing with my brother and our sister came out and said “the tv is not working.”

I mean, without AM… the options become FM and 5G/WWW. FM is a known quantity and the WWW is waayy worse than AM: the Klan broadcasts over the WWW.

In NYC metro area, I regularly listen to sports radio and NPR on AM. Sure, there’s other stuff too but I don’t tune into it. It’s the best place to get live Yankees broadcasts and coverage of the Giants, Mets, Jets, Nets, Knicks, Islanders, and Rangers.

Once a year I go to the local library and print some blank 1040s and other tax documents, costs me like $2 in print fees. Nobody (except maybe Ratheon) wants weapons in space. Can we make tax season more efficient instead? For example, gov sends a tax bill that one either pays or disputes rather than forcing everyone to calculate a number they already have?

So I recently quitted Google Drive

Congrats, great life choice

downloaded all my data and hoping to keep it on Hard drives myself, They are external plug in types

You have multiple external drives. Are they USB? How many?

So when I plug it in

Are they not usually plugged in? Is there a requirement to keep them air gapped between syncs?

it copies/syncs the things on my computer, anyone knows somethign like that?

Like others have said, a shell script that calls rsync is maybe the way to go and with some more information on number of drives, drive interface type, and air gap requirements it may change

Nope, I’m accessible on the WAN and the webserver is intentionally public facing.

Edit: AllowUsers in sshd.conf is my access control

I operate SSH, nginx, and uvicorn like this:

SSH

• pubkey auth only
• not on default port
• AllowUsers var in sshd.conf is set

nginx

• runs as its own user
• serves static files or forwards to uvicorn
• rate limits are set
• returns 444 on requests that aren’t in sitemap.xml (nonsense and probing)

uvicorn

• runs as its own user

and a firewall runs on top of everything in a hardened kernel. I’m self taught, so I could be missing something obvious and this setup has been reliable for me for a few years.

I had one the other day, first in like 25 years. It was terrible! : )
