It’s the root OS; that Pi is a media centre in the living room (plus it’s taken on a few extra duties since it’s always online). It’s been going for a good few years now, 8+?

I’ve been running OSMC (Kodi on Debian) plus a few useful things like maintaining a reverse SSH connection to a VPS.

Yup: Backblaze Product and Pricing Updates

I plan to switch over later when it makes sense to - the nice thing about Backblaze is that it scales with your storage, whereas with Hetzner you have to jump from 1 TB to 5 TB.

It’s for storing a few terabytes of fairly static media (for the most part, write-once). The codebases using it don’t natively support object storage (and will be in Docker containers).

It’s on a Hetzner server, and Backblaze (even after the price increase) will be a lot cheaper than normal drives, although their storage box option is probably better value over about two GB.

When I last used Debian, I found myself very annoyed with the lag in the package manager. This is a very long time ago (15 years?), so probably isn’t the case any longer. However, due to laziness (or proactively avoiding a bikeshed rabbit hole) I didn’t check and just chose Ubuntu over Debian the other day because of that.

Yeah, the original thin clients were basically useless without the server they connected to, but nowadays even computers the size of a stick of gum are plenty powerful enough for consuming webpages and videos.

You still need peripherals like mouse, keyboard and screen but you might get them as part of the package (sounds like you already have them though).

What did you move on to, and what features made you move?

my account is still 100% storj token funded

That seems to be the key bit, since everyone can use up to 25TB (if they can pay for it). Are you also hosting a node to earn credits tokens?

I love Mermaid, although I don’t think you can currently do network diagrams. I’ve seen Kroki recommended here for doing that, which supports Mermaid plus many similar markup-based diagrammers.

I was going to say my notes are in Joplin, but my more honest answer is basically yours.

My SSH auth uses SSH keys stored in authorized_keys, but I see your point. For me, OpenLDAP will be letting users in to the various services and SSH is outside that. I suppose SFTP could be something I want, but I’d be tempted to put a new sshd inside a container and have it more restricted than the system one.

I think the backup key idea is definitely the most broadly applicable, but there’s physical/KVM for a more old school access route.

It’s an interesting problem; I guess federation needs to be part of the solution just to allow access to enough data when your need it.

In my head the solution was a plugin that could call external APIs, like (plug incoming) the image duplicate detection tool that I’m working on.

Ah, what I meant by federated site vs app is would SocialCare act as if you were browsing the community in question from a federated instance (i.e. the posts have been federated over and you work off of that data) or something like wefwef/Voyager where you’re still connecting to the original instance’s API (plus maybe also some SocialCare APIs for any extras)?

Hmm, my first thought is that a plugin is better, since it works without worrying about federation, etc, but as front-ends become more diverse it might be difficult to keep it working on everything.

Are you thinking the site option is like browsing using normal federation, or would it be more like using an app?

You can star comments or posts to save them, it might be under the ⋮ menu. You can view your saved posts in your profile.

What’s your DR plan? My “plan” is to SSH in and figure out what’s wrong.

They do seem almost too good to be true. I might use those for when I want lots of little, disposable servers (like regional game servers) but I’d be scared trusting critical stuff to them.

On the other hand, https://lowendtalk.com/ users seem to have rated them highly (not that I’d heard of that site before today either!).

Overall, definitely worth the risk at that price, thanks for the heads up.

As others have answered your main question, I’ll just point out that on Firefox you can search through your open tabs by adding % before your search. I imagine the other browsers have a similar feature.

well I’m going to reply to you to request that @remindme@mstdn.social dm 1 day
