I switched to vaultwarden this morning. Took a few hours to get nginx to cooperate, but its been smooth sailing so far! I even got ssh-keys working, which I wasn't able to to do with proton.

As for email... I plan to expeeiment with bulwark once I'm done work, since its the only email server in the truenas app repo. If that doesn't work, then I guess I'll keep looking.

(Edit) Turns out that without both a public IP and port 25 there's no way to selfhost email. Sure, I could rent a VPS but like hell am I doing that. The whole point of self hosting is to minimize subscriptions.

    Rust is the easiest programming language to learn.

    Granted, I'm autistic, but still. I found it far more intuitive than JavaScript or Python.

    Bonus: HTML and JavaScript are evil and I hate webpages that use it. Thats pretty much all of them, to be fair, but markdown websites do exist and I love them

    I use synctging for other stuff, so for me it was a bit of a nobrainer to use it for obsidian too. I have run into some issues. Notably with trash. It will very often try, and fail, to sync trashed files. I have to put a lot of stuff in the ignore field for all my files to make it stop spitting out errors all the time. I think the best part of it though is that it works so smoothly the rest of the time. I almost never even need to think about it nowadays, now that I've got it all setup.

    Just be aware that there are some characters that obsidian allows in file and folder names that cause syncthing to throw a fit. Like question marks. Oh god why do question marks cause so many issues in syncthing its awful.

    I can't stand how movies and TV shows depict people. Nobody talks like that in real life, or walks like that. They don't make those facial expresions, or say those words. It just makes them deeply unnerving for me. Its weird, because other people either don't notice it at all or even prefer it for some reason.

    I'm considering buying one of those commercial style tv's that can be kept on for long periods of time, so I can put my entire plex library on shuffle in the background while I do other things throughout the day. But I'd prefer if the "shuffle" was a little more customizable than what plex offers at the moment. Are there any projects that attempt to mimic the old-school channel-style setup from before the internet? i feel like such a setup would be ideal, since I could create several channels for different styles of media, but still have the randomness.

     

    I'm a cashier, and it's really strange just how easy it is to spot a criminal. It's like they go out of their way to fit as many stereotypes as possible into their identity.

    Someone tried to pay with fake bills earlier today at work, wearing a baseball cap, reflective glitter sunglasses, a leather jacket, and jeans, smelling of cigarettes talking in a heavy accent with a silent large guy following behind him, and pretending to not understand English even as he pulls fake bills out from a bulging pocket.

    Like, wtf

     

    It just seems so backwards that making a concrete mailbox can get you sued by a jerk that intentionally drove into it. I can understand banning pitfalls and other actual traps, but why passive defensive deterrents? After all, it's not like a bystander accidentally wandering onto your property is going to be injured by a random bolder you placed between your garden and the street.

    (Edit): It seems I had a fundamental misunderstanding of US law. Thanks for indulging my curiosity!

     

    I recently purchased a new NAS / Server and while I'm waiting for it to arrive I'm planning out my storage and RAID configurations.

    I'ce mostly decided on using 5 20TB or 24TB drives in RAID z2 as my primary storage pool. I'll just use a 500GB nvme as a read cache. But I still have a gen 4 by 4 nvme slot available, and I'm considering buying a stupidly large nvme drive to put in it.

    Problem is, I want some fault tolerance, so I'm wondering if I can just make a virtual drive in my primary pool and use a RAID mirror between the nvme and the virtual drive to make my secondary pool.

    Would this work? Or would the performance overhead and instibility make this a fool's errand?
