If the CIA wanted to put a keylogger on your phone, it would be customs, the CIA would intercept it at some point, possibly in customs, then put it in the boot loader or on the SSD firmware or something so you’d never know it was there and wouldn’t reasonably be able to overwrite it no matter what.

That probably doesn’t help you though. If you want to be sure you’d have to reflash every bit of the phone, not just the OS.

I don’t want to ask about the chocolate

I didn’t move shit haha. Dumped OneDrive onto the Nas and mounted it for next cloud, I didn’t even clean out the photos, which I copied into immich. I did move some ebooks, but that was very few things that I have

This guy made a FE for a blog using lemmy as the BE https://martijn.sh/

I just realized that there’s the #blog hashtag on mastodon. There looks to be a lot over there.

Yaaaaay more Car Talk!

You’d probably be better following the hashtag on mastodon

Overall though, blogs have actually been harder to find, so I’m open to anything people have that they’d suggest!

https://mastodon.social/@_elena Elena Rossini is a journalist who’s big on the Fediverse.

Joan westenberg is another journalist i like. She has a blog as well https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan

News: https://www.thebignewsletter.com/feed

https://www.welcometohellworld.com/rss/ a bit pessimistic

https://www.theindex.media/rss/ more fediverse and anti capitalist types

There are others i follow but they’re a bit niche. I did find some public domain stuff as well, like books and such

I used to. I once turned a laptop into a Windows media server just to host movies and music for the house. That was fun

This isn’t dull at all, congrats!

Just to keep the instance up and running he needs to spend up to $5000 a month, pretty much out of his pocket.

Wtf!?

ThinkGeek used to have the annoyatron that would do that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z1I1grocF0

I freaking knew Louisiana would be in it

Anything that fits the socket and has the IO and form factor that you need is fine

You may be overestimating your requirements a bit. For video, all you need is something with a transcoder and it could handle at least one stream. If this is just for you, it’ll be idle most of the time. As long as the hard drives have good reviews, it’ll be fine.

What you listed sounds good. I have my entire family’s files and photos (with some duplicates that i never removed) and it comes out to less than 1TB.

I think your idea sounds fine. An old PC will do fine.

In Louisiana we have the holy Trinity: onion, celery, and green bell pepper add the basis for most of our foods.

If you want something easy, maybe mix that with some scrambled eggs and rice. Otherwise, peanut butter? Haha

i hope you all enjoyed my story of me shitting my pants 😂

Business logic should go into its own services/functions. Combining all of these will make maintenance, changes, and testing a nightmare.

Keep your responsibilities segregated. Follow command/query responsibility separation.
