Actually there are a lot of people out there building plex servers on VPS services and charging friends/family/others to access (to offset the price of storage and network charges). That's one of the reasons plex is now blocking certain VPS hosts.

I do most of my own maintenance on my cars for two reasons. I kind of like doing them myself, and I can make sure it's getting done (and done correctly). Not saying all shops are like this, but I have seen some shady and damn right ignorant practices going on. From not actually doing the service you paid for, to totally using the wrong oil, or over tightening lug nuts, or worse not tightening them enough. My aunt had a tire go rolling down the road after she pulled out of the tire shop she just bought the tires from.... I get it not everyone wants to do it themselves, or they don't have the tools or the space to do it. Just verify the work is being done right is all...

OK, the guy is crazy and I don't like him or his politics, but really do you think Biden isn't going senile? The guy can't even finish a sentence half the time. Can we not get someone that isn't over the age of 70 in the whitehouse!? Seriously even 60 is getting to a "retirement" age and should be slowing down, not taking on the most important role there is in the country's government...

I host vaultwarden at home. No real need for a vps since your passwords are synced to your phone or laptop(whatever client you're using) and you can just sync it when you're home if you make changes, or setup a VPN (I use wireguard) and sync on demand when needed.

That said, I do sync my database to a vps for dr purposes incase my home server suddenly vanishes... for critical services I follow a 3-2-1 backup rule but it's not absolutely essential.

I run pihole on a proxmox cluster (lxc containers), 2 separate IPs and I setup keepalived and made the virtual IP the primary dns ip that my dhcp server hands out, pihole1 is the master and pihole2 secondary. I use gravity sync to keep both piholes in sync. Works very well and I can reboot one at a time without losing dns at all. Techno tim on YouTube has a guide on how to setup keepalived on 2 pihole servers that helped me set it up.

This seems more likely thinking about it, before I was doing coding as a hobby. If I was working on something at work that I wasn't particularly passionate about I may not obsess as much.

I used to dabble in coding. Never done it professionally. To be a full time developer would probably kill me, I remember constantly thinking of how to build this or that function, or how to do a certain thing, or why something keeps failing. I'd constantly be thinking these things, in the shower, while brushing my teeth, while driving, it was making me insane. Don't think I could do it professionally.

OK I've tried in the past to make a decent streaming box from both windows media center edition and various Linux distros. But I need something that is simple, can be controlled entirely from a remote, and has the major streaming apps (Netflix, disney, etc). I haven't really found any solution that's easy enough for non techie people to use. I have a standalone roku box that works ok we also have a roku TV which is a giant piece of garbage, and I'm considering buying an external roku or nvidia shield as a streaming box instead, I do have a couple of raspberry pi 4s I could use one but again I'm faced with the same issues.

If you have a bicycle already you can buy conversion kits for around $150 on the low end for the kit and a few hundred for a battery pack (depending on your needs). Search Amazon and ebay for ebike conversion kits.

I see so many people driving brand new vehicles, new jeep trucks and grand wagoneers. These vehicles start at like 60k and go up to like 100k. Yeah people can't afford them, but they're still buying them. They're thinking it's a tomorrow problem.

I suppose we should stop hurricanes by drying up the ocean.. just install a drain, really horrible ocean management.

Or stop earthquakes by putting rubber feet under cities, very poor city design....

Honestly after he suggested injecting lysol or bleach directly in to your veins to cure covid I will never be shocked at the slander that comes out of this idiot.

Must not be very good if this newbie can hit you up that easily...

I love this story, wish I still had the link.

Like pink mist?

OK so lots of comments about healthy alternatives and such.. but you asked what taste best, well to me that's the Gatorade glacier cherry. I buy the individual powder packs and mix my own, and I get the zero sugar one, but imo that's the best flavor.

One of my favorite things eas when I was a teenager living at my parents was roll start my ford ranger because I always parked in a spot that was on a fairly steep incline.

I'm not very familiar with kubernetes or k3s but I thought it was a way to manage docker containers. Is that not the case? I'm considering deploying a k3s cluster in my proxmox environment to test it out.

Not sure what you're looking for, like a cloud mounted file system that's encrypted? I've used fuse s3fs before which is like mounting a s3 bucket to a mount point on the local server, it supports encryption as well.

If you're looking for a Dropbox like experience you may want something like nextcloud, not sure if it supports client side encryption though.
