9? That’s quite a bit of compute lol.

My journey started with 1 server, then 4, then 5 (one functioning as a NAS), then 1 (just the NAS box), then I moved and decided to slim it down to a proper NAS and 1 mini PC/NUC clone. Now I’m up to two because the first was an Intel N105 which just isn’t up for the challenges lol

Fahrenheit. So roughly 4.5C.

The bone chilling part wasn’t due to necessarily being cold, moreso due to the wind, location, and attire that generally isn’t meant for the cold lol.

I use myanonamouse. Had to back then, none of the public trackers were good. Sounds like they might be better now though. MaM is the only private tracker I’m on.

I mean there was no party for his. Also only like 40 people. His soon to be wife convinced him to use the money he’d saved for the wedding on a down payment for a house.

My sister had a wedding at the start of June and it went surprisingly well. The only aspect they skimped on was not hiring a videographer, so I took that role. Despite having a job to do and being nearly rained out of a outdoor wedding, the stars aligned. It went well. I think it was definitely cathartic to me after the first immediate family wedding. My other sister had one in March but that was an elopement and it was miserable. Outdoor ceremony in 40 degree bone chilling weather.

Anything immediate family is pretty much competing for worst ranking, simply because of how much extra effort it is.

Out of 6 siblings, 3 have gotten married. Worst was the first, my brother. I was a groomsman - 1 out of 7, there a were 7 bridesmaids as well. A huge wedding party. Photos took -forever- and happened before the ceremony. It wasn’t too hot, but another groomsman (my other brother) ended up fainting (locked knees). We recovered from that. Later on, about an hour into a hour and a half ceremony (ridiculously long speeches) another faints. We’re all suffering because we’re standing for the entire ceremony.

Then it’s finally over, but like any good wedding they had to sacrifice on one aspect. - they hired catering from a friend of a friend, and the caterer’s crew were a no show (apparently they didn’t check the address when they agreed and when they checked and saw it was a 2 hour drive they just didn’t show up). So we all stepped up to help.

There was other shit too but despite outwardly going well that wedding gave me trauma.

Best would be my close friend’s wedding. Just a ceremony and photos. Indoors as well. Easy.

I switched a while back, but grew frustrated with most of the solutions. Apparently while my music is on Spotify, some of it isn’t in the MusicBrainz database, so automation and tagging/sorting tools just crapped out. The solution of submitting the data just wasn’t work I was willing to put in (the guide on making a submission alone was too much).

Ultimately I did most everything manually and got a workable solution, but without added variety I lost touch with music and stopped listening all together over time.

I’ve migrated my Firefox profile to multiple different computers and even from Firefox to Floorp. No issues. It’s also something I have backed up to my NAS daily since it contains everything - just plop it in and I’ve got everything the way it was before.

Last time I tried to migrate to Podman the first container I tried was incompatible, so was the second, and the third. Turns out at the time Linuxservers.io stuff wasn’t rootless podman compatible. There have since been some improvement according to my most recent Google search just now, so maybe a retry is coming up.

While I’ve never directly used them I’ve definitely seen content hosted by them. I’ve also seen CSAM promptly removed by them (I work for a hosting provider and occasionally will forward a report their way). I’ll drop them some mons.

I’m not sure how I’ll handle when it’s his time to go. Just the mere thought makes me tear up.

I maintain he’ll outlive me. Which can have more than one interpretation lol.

He’s was in perfect health according to the vet, up until the latest visit when we discovered a heart murmur. Monitoring it to see if it starts having symptoms. Hopefully none.

OP is talking about horses, not donkeys. Also, I hope your donkey wasn’t harmed in the process of getting this information.

Is the maximum 24 characters because their database column is a VARCHAR(24)? That’s one of the first questions that I thought of. Sure, it doesn’t guarantee plaintext, but it’s a indicator that it may be stored plaintext, considering hashing doesn’t care about length. Or at the very least whoever has had eyes on this code doesn’t know shit about security, which makes me less confident in the product as a whole.

The only reason I can think of to have a maximum would be to save on bandwidth and CPU cycles, and even then 24 characters is ridiculously stingy when the difference would be negligible.

I’ll limit this to devices in use.

• phone
• laptop for work and occasionally personal
• steam deck
• gaming desktop
• 4 bay Asus NAS
• 2 mini PCs (headless)
• 9 VPSes of varying size (I get them free via work)

That kind of looks like the at a glance feature. Perhaps you have a timer setup on a Google Home device? Or had.

Hmm, maybe some other interaction / conflict? Never experienced this on both my desktop (Arch, Wayland, Gnome) or my work PC (Fedora Silverblue, so Wayland and Gnome but slightly behind).

This is exactly why I do the dishes after a good meal. I can’t relax with the thought of a sink full of dishes, they need to be handled!

Not me, but my parents, though I discovered it during a visit.

Bats. They had a bat infestation. This was up at the highest point of the house in the loft, they were remodeling and left the walls open - a hole to the outside let one in, and I guess a bunch decided it was a nice place to hang out. There were dozens.

As for dealing with it - bats are endangered, so you can’t exterminate them. If I remember correctly the total spend was just over 10 grand. This also included installing multiple permanent one way doors so if any bats manage to get in again, they have multiple ways to get out.

Somehow not surprised I’m at just over 21K spent. That being said, that was from half a decade ago when I uh… Wasn’t as mature. Probably only 1K since then and strictly on games, not micro transactions.

Every time I recall those episodes, and the pain, it gets easier to do, emotionally.

And theoretically I could just get it operated on - there have been improvements in the field. But the prospect of going under the knife is scary, especially in an area where one fuckup or miscalculation could lead to partial paralysis for life. Throw in a mix of abusive American healthcare and… Weekly therapy is more preferable.
