I don’t get NixOS

It’s not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you’d then ideally store in a VCS like git.

I haven’t messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.

Yes indeed

The marketing spin calling LLMs “Artificial Intelligence” doesn’t help.

Wait… so it’s just a hardware middle man for Do Not Disturb?

You can leave the key behind

Fun idea until I’m out and about & realize the one app I locked would be useful.

“Fraud” is the correct term here.

Could anyone broad-stroke the security requirements for something like this? Looks like they’ll pay for hosting up to a certain amount, and between that and a pipeline to keep the mirror updated I’d think it wouldn’t be tough to get one up and running.

Just looking for theory - what are the logistics behind keeping a mirror like this secure?

This exact post has been floating around Reddit for at least a few months. Looks like ragebait.

… you mean the creators that are currently striking because massive companies Disney, Netflix, and Co don’t want to pay them a living wage?

Ive got a pair of 12TB Seagate drives in a NAS that have been running great for a few years, now.

I’ve heard varying opinions on Seagate’s longevity, so your mileage may vary. So far, they haven’t given me any issues.

I don’t buy into the myth that running your own mail server is “hard”.

For a server with only a few users, the hard part is outgoing mail, ensuring your mails get delivered. I did what I can here, and simply use a paid service on another domain for important things where delivery must be “guaranteed”.

It’s an interesting post, but saying it’s “not hard” and then “welllllll it’s not hard if you don’t bother with a spam filter & pay a professional company for ‘important’ email” is pretty misleading.

It’s the “hello world” for hardware.
