  • 45k€ to pay off my car and 250k€ for a downpayment for a house which is not near to any neighbors.

    • Do you ever come up with genius ("genius") ideas for joke domains to unsettle/embarrass people when you tell them your email?

    Jump

  • For a while, I had butt.online as domain. You can also use subdomains like sexy.butt.online or licks.butt.online or fucks.butt.online... endless buttibilities. I set up my.wife@has.a.big.butt.online if someone wanted her email, butt that backfired...

    • I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

    Jump

  • You are very special as well!

    • Arch or NixOS?

    Jump

  • If you want to make your OS to a hobby, choose NixOS.

    If you want a system that just works, use Kinoite or Debian.

    If you want cutting edge software but fear Arch/Endeavour is prone to breakage, consider doing file system snapshots e.g. with snapper which you can boot into.

    • What time is it?

    Jump

  • Ten minutes late but you can still 4:20 blaze it.

    • Steam Linux Marketshare Surges To Nearly 2% In November

    Jump

  • Small number random samples in big data sets have huge error margins. You need to smooth this over time to see the real trend.

    • What's some easy recipes that only use non-perishables?

    Jump

  • Chili sin carne with dried vegan 'minced meat'.

    • What are your emergency plans for your password manager?

  • HDD at work.

    • More than 75% of web3 games failed

    Jump

  • Pay to pay games. Of course they fail, apart from when poor people play them in the hopes of making some pocket change. Most of them don't even have gameplay outside of the monetization.

    • Mechanical or SSD for offsite storage that’s updated at least yearly?

    Jump

  • That is true. I was shocked to see that mostly Optane SSDs with SLC are available nowadays (which are 'too fast' for archiving) and nobody else makes SLC anymore. A few years ago you could still find some.

    • Well gawsh, you shouldn't kink shame someone.

    Jump

  • I know a furry who has a sub. What's the difference?

    My take: these are not anthropomorphic animals, but cartoon furries.

    • Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

    Jump

  • I wrote down all the CLI commands I need and just need to type them down nowadays, it's not considerably slower than Archinstall.

    • Mechanical or SSD for offsite storage that’s updated at least yearly?

    Jump

  • If you avoid QLC drives, keep it at a reasonable temperature, and don’t use a drive that’s had a large number of write cycles, it will be fine for a year.

    Sounds reasonable. Maybe even use SLC, some enterprise grade SSDs still offer that.

    When hard drives get older, sometimes they will just refuse to spin up after sitting for a long time.

    True. I would recommend to replace them after 5 years or if they're frequently in use, after 35000 hours, whichever comes first.

  • Nice try, FBI.

    I usually use LUKS2 and a password manager with a keyfile (on the LUKS encrypted partition). The passwords for them are in my head.

    Remote LUKS systems are set up with dropbear in the initramfs so I can enter passwords without being present or having access to IPMI. After a few tries the system nukes the LUKS header and I have to manually recover it from backup.

    I also have an emergency password DB without a keyfile, where the password is the beginning of a chapter of a readily available book. I won't tell you which book or which chapter though 😃
