  • When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website. So, if the link dies, one can still see it in the Wayback Machine. This also has the added benefit of locking in time what the source looked like when it was accessed (assuming one timestamps when they access the source when they cite it).

    What exactly am I looking at? Is this just for visual aesthetic on the outside of a building, or is there some specific purpose served by this architecture?

    They don’t quite look like balconies, and there’s a hole. Perhaps in the rightmost column I can see a part of a railing or a window through some of the holes?

    EDIT: Just saw this post in my feed, which I think is showing the same architecture as this one. It appears to be for aesthetic purposes, but I could certainly be wrong.




  • You may be making a joke, I’m not sure, but, in case you’re not, this line of thinking is often used by governments to push through legislation whose content would otherwise be objectionable. It’s akin to just reading the headline of a news article without reading its content. An example could be something like “The Patriot Act”: “Who could possibly vote against patriotism at a time like this?” — look at its content. One could also look at the COVID relief bills and notice just how much content has absolutely nothing to do with COVID relief. The names of legislative bills are manufactured for the very purpose of appealing to one’s emotions and to distract from objectionable content.



  • All of the services that I host are for private use:

    • Nextcloud
    • FreshRSS
    • Immich
    • Jellyfin
    • RSSBridge

    And they are all behind Caddy, which reverse proxies and handles HTTPS. I’m not sure if it really counts as self-hosting, but I also use my server as a host for my backups with Borg. I also use it as a sort of central syncing point for Syncthing.

    I did have a Pi-Hole at one point, but I kept running into issues with it — I may look into it again in the future.

    At some point I’d like to try implementing some ideas that I’ve had for Homeassistant (a camera server with Frigate and some other automation things). Once federation has been implemented, I would like to host a Forgejo instance. I may also host a Simplex relay server, depending on how the app progresses. I’ve been considering hosting a Matrix instance, but I’m not sure yet.



  • It entirely depends on how you want your homelab to work. I use a reverse proxy to set up subdomains for my publicly facing services because I find it easier and cleaner to assign a subdomain to each service, and I also like having HTTPS managed by a single point — a sort of single point of entry to the rest of the services. You’d have to decide what you want out of your homelab, and find and set up the services that yield the outcome that you want.


  • I don’t understand the downvotes that this post has received (Currently 8 upvotes and 27 downvotes). The post is just reporting on a finding. It’s not stating an opinion. Are people just unhappy that Trump’s polls have increased so they’re taking it out on this post? Is there something wrong with the article link? Is there some inaccuracy in the reporting? This feels like an example of shooting the messenger. Am I missing something?

    I suppose there is the fundamental issue of people not collectively agreeing on what upvotes and downvotes should be used for.
