What is a service you host you never knew you needed?

Sure,
I used TTecks helper script to install paperless as an LXC. I then use proxmox's inbuilt back up schedule to grab snapshots of that LXC, and others, I usually keep 1 "nightly"and 1 "monthly" right now.
Syncthing, another LXC thank you tteck, has access to the back up folder. It is synced with a RPi 4 pulling double duty as my redundant DNS all installed using Docker. The pi 4 install is synced with my proxmox host and an off-site box, through tailscale at my parent's house.
There are better systems, like Borg and what not, but this one is mine.
I have an "important" share on a my NAS that is also synced 3-2-1. It would be better if Paperless saved to my NAS directly, then I'd only have 3 copies. Right now I have 6: 1 nightly and 1 monthly spread across 3 machines, not counting RAID because the "b" in "RAID" stands for back up.
My oh shit plan: grab a back up file. Rebuild the lxc from that snapshot. Access my pdfs.
I keep once in a lifetime stuff: birth certificate, paper counter part to my driver's license, etc. They're still backed up. But, for day-day communications that I'm supposed to keep: 5 years financials, tennant agreements etc. My old filing system was "throw them in a box, if I remembered and find them never. Or, try not delete the email they're attached to". Now I have a glimmer of a hope
Couldn't tell you, sorry. I have Paperless in it's own LXC (helper-script) which I 3-2-1 as a machine. Many duplicates, but they're only PDFs.
I can tell you I spent a small amount of time trying (and failing) to get paperless to save the files onto my NAS. I can also tell you, if I stretched up really tall I can just about scrape rock bottom when it comes to skills in this stuff.
Paperless - Pay slips, Bank statements, MOT records, Insurance policies, User manuals, restaurant menus. All filed and searchable. Letters I get are photographed, uploaded and immediately disposed of, zero stress.
Treat sex like a meal, dessert for me is the best bit. I don't jump right to dessert, and it's not where I spend the majority of my time.
Teasing - starter. Start at the beginning of the day, "I'm gonna do X", "You're gonna feel Y", "You're so z". Sets expectations, gets people in the mindset, communication about sex outside in a neutral space is important. It's an appetiser.
Foreplay - main course. Do the things, what ever "the things" means for you. Aim to spend the majority of your "fun" here. Edge, tease touch, lick, suck, toys, all the verbs.
Final cummings - dessert. Just a nice finisher to an incredible meal.
Or not, maybe you like cum play and penetration is the foreplay. I don't know I'm not you.
Watches video... Oh, oh no. To no-one's surprise, he's a nazi.
"My heart goes out... " Non-nazis hate this one weird trick. How gullible does he think people are.
My main was on fmhy. That got nuked so I browsed using this acct. Then made another alt. The mods here are in a constant state of clarity, it's pretty good.
If nothing else, thank you for informing me about hide.me.
My, personal, inability to intelligently compare VPNs is what's holding me back from port forwarding.
I've been trying to parse what I mean and failing:
A VPN should be at least affordable for me, no point looking if I can't afford it.
It should be suitably secure, again no point looking if I don't trust them to give/sell/surrender my data.
It should be suitably fast, no point looking if it's slower than dialup.
And, it should have a minimum of features: port forwarding, easy to set up, etc.
Where the minimums are is subjective but I think these are the things that each of us consider. Price, privacy, performance and feature set.
Comparisons are either really good for "here's the cheapest, here's the most private and here's the fastest" but neglect whether they're P2P friendly or allow port forwarding. Or, the comparisons are really detailed on the feature set "max handshake encryption, max data encryption" but neglect how much I might pay.
It's a whole lot of research for something I know I don't/won't understand and with potentially huge consequences should I get wrong. So: "Here's the most private" I'll take that one please
I'm currently on Mullvad, it topped a bunch of vpn comparison for 'normals' on security, and I have been content with them. But I'm ready to move up when my sub ends. Testimonials are just about all I've got.
Edit: I suppose it's 'mid-level' guides I think are missing. Beginners have their cheap/secure/fast articles. Advanced users can compare on "max handshake encryption" whatever that means. I need a "so you want to effectively and securely support the swarm, here are your options."
Jokes on them lemmynsfw doesn't federate downvotes... So probably this one.
This is the generous interpretation and the one I'm picking. Seems like a stressful situation for all, so a lot can be forgiven.
I can even understand "k" as response. What can mum do except give the kid, and mum, space to solve the problem? "I understand, I'm calling the police now" or just call the police. One saves time, one wastes it.
I could even understand it being a "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" response. Executive function is gone, here's a "k" while I melt.
Lots of room here before jumping to mum being the worst person in the world.
I'm the "it works for me" normie. At least right now, accepting a 10% failure rate comes at the benefit of a decrease in complexity, and thus an increase in security (on account of me being less likely to fuck it up). This is an attractive proposition.
When I was beginning TRaSH-Guides was the scripture and on their port forwarding page (for qbit) they only mention Torguard. On the torguard page they quote:
As of 13 March 2022 Torguard Settles Piracy Lawsuit and has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to block BitTorrent traffic on its servers in the US using firewall technology. ‼
I Talked to several people and they are still able to use Torguard for Torrents, Perhaps because the connection is encrypted. And others just selected a server in another country.
"Torguard settles piracy lawsuit" is scary for normies, at least it was for me when I was setting this all up. So I went with Mullvad who actively do not want to know who I am. I'm a UK resident so my entire Linux ISO stack, is under Gluetun.
Generally the documentation around port forwarding, "who to use, how and how much they cost" was hard to find, difficult to follow, or out of date. Perhaps I should look again though.
Ideally, I'd want a "you want budget use X £#pcm, you want privacy use Y £#pcm and if you want speed use Z £#pcm" article with the guides for getting X,Y and Zworking in the style of TRaSH. I get that takes time and effort, but I think that's what it would take for mass adoption. Advanced users can debate the minutiae elsewhere on best vpn client combo, advanced users are building seed boxes. Normies need 3 meaningful choices (price, privacy, speed) and hand holding to the finish line.
Alright, a bread sandwich is interesting. Now I love me some bread, but doesn't the distinction between loaf 1 and loaf 2 get lost in all the breadyness? If they want a hybrid loaf they probably make those. I suppose at 4 they're not making themselves, but the bread maker... you... might.
I thought I loved bread, perhaps I merely enjoy it.
Bread is my favourite carb, and it isn't close. I had a period in my teens of sandwiching everything. Chili? Sandwich. Curry? Sammich. Stews? You guessed it: big mess.
Some people say you can't reason with Republicans but can pressure Democrats. Making Pelosi the figurehead of this puts pressure on Democrats to change.
Republican voters just elected a felon. They do not and will not care about some insider trading so long as it's the correct team doing it. Some Democrat voters might care about insider trading.
The sandman audiobooks were so good. I don't expect they'll be finished now, if they were, I don't expect I'd be buying them.
Facebook does the same tracking and data harvesting. Is Facebook up to be banned? It isn't the tracking and data harvesting.
Person 1: I think it's because the tracking and data harvesting
Person 2: that's an obvious lie (see above)
You: I think aliens did it
Where have I accused you of being a transphobe? Please quote me.
Let's recap. You mused on what not being born a protected class means for a protected class, in your previous comment you said religion shouldn't be a protected class. Putting it all together: a protected class one is not born into shouldn't be protected. Which rhymes incredibly with the rhetoric transphobes and homophobes use. Note: I am not calling you a transphobe, I am saying you quack like one. Re-read the above until you see the destinction.
You also said that you feel like people are using their protected class as a weapon. Which rhymes incredibly with the rhetoric racists and misogynists use. Note: I am not calling you a sexist or misogynist, I am saying you quack like one. Re-read the above until you see the distinction.
Once again: whether someone is born a protected class means nothing. For starters there are no "defaults" to which differing means you become a protected class. Secondly, whether someone is disabled from birth or comes to it later in life, they deserve the same protections. This is a strategy used by homophobes to attack the lgbt and it's used by transphobes to attack trans people. If you don't want to be associated with them, don't quack like them.
I know I know, I am an idiot. I am a big meanie saying you drink babies blood, whatever you need to dismiss me and call this a win. I've been there. But later, when you have some time for introspection, ask yourself why anti-thiests quack like all the other bigots? Pull out and examine your own ideas, do you see the rhymes?
When I was quacking away with the anti-thiests, sounding eerily similar to all the other bigots was I a bigot? There's certainly an argument for it, and one I wouldn't push too hard against. I prefer to think of myself then as an idiot. I was raised believing in god and there's no-one more pationate than a convert. I remember seeing a video called "the alt right pipeline", or something like, it that traced the path from skeptictube to anti-thiesm to right wing, to alt right "all the isms", and being glad I got off that train. Also, Richard Dawkins was the face of anti-thiesm when I was in it. So him coming out has being more than one kind of bigot was self affirming.
Yup, I covered your response in my comment above "you're right", "I'm wrong", "yada yada yada". For my own part I realised anti-thiests were, by and large, just another load of bigots that justify their bigotry as being "justified" or "not the same" like all bigot do. Some idiots, like me get taken in. Anyway 15 years later my then idol, Richard Dawkins, famous anti-thiest comes out as a transphobe too. Who knew bigots are bigots right? I'm just saying if you don't like being compared to ducks stop quacking.
Also, you replied to yourself. Maybe you forgot to sign in to an alt, maybe it's a failed edit, maybe it's a bug. As to your response "blacks have weaponsied racism against the whites and use it as a cudgel" is not an uncommon sentiment, "feminism is being used to oppress men" is another, you're still quacking.
If you don't believe religion should be a protected class you agree people should be able to oppress you for your athiesm. Athiesm shouldn't be seen as a default any more than white, straight, cis, able-bodied, etc. "I don't think religion should be protected class because I am persecuted for my religious stance" is an interesting position to take. Have you considered anti-thiesm isn't about defence at all? Quack
Absolute legend. Know that you have introduced great joy into the world this day!
No-one is asking you to. Are you sure you're replying to the right person? Can you show me where I suggested you should. I gave you an example in my previous comment about a thing I used to love, and still do really, being drenched in slavery. Perhaps use that? Tilt at some other windmill.
My only statement is that a nation currently practicing slavery isn't worthy of your love. I suppose you'd put it like:
"I hope one day you find a less abusive country that might be worthy of your love"
