Found the other NixOS user. ;)

My advice: don’t change anything else right now.

The temptation is high to pack it all in at once; make all the big changes.

2 hours a day is a lot. Not too much, just a lot. So, since you asked, don’t change your diet yet. Get into the groove of building this new thing into some level of consistency. Once you’re 90 days in, start modifying something else. Diet. Sleep. Intensity.

Work on one routine at a time.

Now if you’re going too far into calorie deficit then you can think about what your energy needs are but keep the other changes to bare necessity.

You come to my door. You get candy.

Young, old, costume or not.

You get candy.

I found my people here.

…drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard their cry.

If you don’t believe this lie is true. Ask the blind man, he saw it too.

Is there a reason you need a dual book instance instead of a VM or even WINE?

Unless you need direct access to hardware and if you have enough RAM, you can probably avoid dual booting altogether.

Good enough? I mean it’s allowed. But it’s only good enough if a licensee decides your their goal is to make using the code they changed or added as hard as possible.

Usually, the code was obtained through a VCS like GitHub or Gitlab and could easily be re-contributed with comments and documentation in an easy-to-process manner (like a merge or pull request). I’d argue not completing the loop the same way the code was obtained is hostile. A code equivalent of taking the time (or not) to put their shopping carts in the designated spots.

Imagine the owner (original source code) making the source code available only via zip file, with no code comments or READMEs or developer documentation. When the tables are turned - very few would actually use the product or software.

It’s a spirit vs. letter of the law thing. Unfortunately we don’t exist in a social construct that rewards good faith actors over bad ones at the moment.

As someone who worked at a business that transitioned to AGPL from a more permissive license, this is exactly right. Our software was almost always used in a SaaS setting, and so GPL provided little to no protection.

To take it further, even under the AGPL, businesses can simply zip up their code and send it to the AGPL’ed software owner, so companies are free to be as hostile as possible (and some are) while staying within the legal framework of the license.

I’ve been using self-hosted Ghost for a bit and it’s a pretty well designed piece of software.

That it requires mailgun to really function well was a bit of a nuisance. But that’s a very minor nitpick that will likely change if adoption increases.

Pros:

• you run a home lab

Cons:

• you run a home lab

I’m on iOS and do the same thing.

The WireGuard app has a setting to “connect on demand”. It’s in the individual connections/configurations.

You can then set either included or excluded SSIDs. There’s also an option to always connect when you’re on mobile/cellular data.

I imagine the Android app is similar.

DM’ed you the link.

Reason: personal GitHub account.

Reddit was aggressively rate limiting tools used to delete and edit content in a funny way when the API pricing was announced. The API wouldn’t return an error, the rate limiting was silent, and the tools would report successful deletion or edits even when the edit or deletion wasn’t made.

I had to modify an existing script to handle the 5-second rate limit and, lieu of deleting, I just rewrote each comment with a farewell.

Even then I did 3 passes (minor additional edits) in cases Reddit was saving previous edits.

My content has stayed edited.

Neat, I’ll have to look it up. Thanks for sharing!

Nextcloud isn’t exposed, only a WireGuard connection allows for remote access to Nextcloud on my network.

The whole family has WireGuard on their laptops and phones.

They love it, because using WireGuard also means they get a by-default ad-free/tracker-free browsing experience.

Yes, this means I can’t share files securely with outsiders. It’s not a huge problem.

We really can vote with our dollars. The issue is that we don’t (I’m point right at myself here).

Don’t buy the things, we probably don’t need em.

SMB : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block

In short it’s a way to share network access to storage across MacOS/Linux/Windows.

MacOS switched from AFS to SMB (as the default file sharing / network storage protocol) a few years ago as it was clear that was how everything was headed - though iOS and MacOS also have native support for NFS.

On linux, you can use samba to create SMB shares that will be available to your iOS device.

It’s a lot of configuration though - so maybe not the best choice.

As for Nextcloud - indeed you can use it in your local network without making it available on your WAN connection. That’s how we use it here.

When we need it remotely - we VPN into our home network. But no exposed ports. :)

Neat solution!

I use Nextcloud. But that also means setting up and managing Nextcloud. By the same token you could use google drive.

For notes and photos you can export them within the app. Notes specifically requires that you print and then hit the share on the print dialogue to save the notes to the file system as a pdf.

Notes also has another option: if you have a non-Apple mail account on your phone - you can enable notes for that email account and simply move (or copy) your notes from one account to the other. The notes will then become available within that email account mailbox structure on any device or machine where that email account is enabled.

For voice recordings you can save any voice recording directly to the iOS filesystem.

The iOS files app also allows you to connect to any other server/desktop via SMB.

There are lots of options here. None are awesome, but they work.

We use simple, cheap motion detector bulb sockets for our closet lights. Open the door light goes on, close the door, light will eventually go off.

Many of our closets have had their doors replaced with curtains, and the solution works just as well.

Even the cheapest motion-detection sockets have a configurable sensitivity and timeout.

While we’re all-in on home automation (conditional everything including heat pumps and lighting) the closets were a case of “simple is better).

Otherwise I second the recommendation for the bathroom fan timer.
