Huh that’s interesting, thanks!

You could inject JS that waits for the JS to generate the form then manipulates its state.

I’ve had an R710 at the foot of my bed for the past 4 years and only decommissioned it a couple of months ago. I haven’t configured anything but I don’t really notice the noise. I can tell that it’s there but only when I listen for it. Different people are bothered by different sounds maybe?

Cloud is best for reliability, but a good option that sacrifices that reliability but keeps some security benefits is to put a reverse proxy on a VPS and connect just your servers by a VPN.

I have more experience with Restic so I’m more comfortable with it on servers, but the lock files don’t work properly on desktops that shutdown uncleanly.

If the host you’re connecting to is already in your known_hosts, a malicious network can’t do anything but break the connection. If it tries to mitm the ssh connection, you’ll get the alert that’s someone could be “doing something nasty”.

Information leakage: Anything between you and the ssh server will be able to see that you’re connecting to a ssh server and how much data you transfer, but not what the data actually is.

I use Restic for servers, Kopia for desktops. Restic tends to end up with problematic locks on systems that shutdown uncleanly sometimes.

I pay for my .dev, I’m concerned that .dev will now be abused for spam and will have its reputation destroyed, especially for sending emails.

Prometheus+Grafana maybe?

I point my DNS at local IPs then use Let’s Encrypt with DNS validation.

The best resource imo for big home servers if you graduate using old PCs is the Homelab Discord server. They’re also at [email protected].

I run used disks with tens of thousands of power on hours. Yes the risk of each disk dying is higher but only marginally and the cost is dramatically lower. To avoid data loss when they die, I have functioning backups. This system is working really well for me.

Huh good to know, thanks!

What’s the best way to make an offsite backup for 42tb at this point with 20mbps of bandwidth? It would take over 6 months to upload while maxing out my connection.

Maybe I could sneakernet an initial backup then incrementally replicate?

If you have a secure password Vaultwarden’s encryption will keep you safe until it’s broken by faster computers in the future or whatever.

SSDs have a write lifespan. Once you write ~400TB or whatever it’s rated for on a consumer SSD it dies. HDDs can take a lot more writes before dying.

Have you looked at Porkbun?

Do you have an old computer that you can use as a server? If not, you could look for one used. Then get an 8TB disk and maybe a second one for backup if you want to store anything you can’t redownload.

Portal. I’ve played through it enough times that I can complete it in a little under 20 minutes. I’m not very good at games but there are a lot of fun and easy tricks to run through it quickly. Playing it a bunch of times is relaxing and fun for me.

some kind of api aggregator could probably work but i don’t think there is one yet
