Backblaze is way cheaper than most ‘standard’ cloud storage though?

When you said ‘paid’ I was thinking £5, not £50 (for the basic version!)

Offer them drop shipping services to wherever you are 😆

You could always email them asking for a subdomain!

Or join them!

Pretty happy with that, it wasn’t available 10 years ago, someone obviously gave up squatting it.

Because it’s my domain I can give anyone possibly spammy any first part and still get it.

Is the US tax year just… The year?

The UK tax year is the 6th-5th of April. I wonder how that happened…

(… Quarter days? And switching between the Julian and gregorian calendars apparently)

7:45 last night. Average sleep duration over the last year is apparently 8:24!

I can get away with 6 hours for a couple of nights, any more than that and I’m miserable and useless.

The article mentions wireguard having similar issues, so there are probably lots of articles for each case

Got one provided by my ISP, great free router! On a new ISP now, but still using the old ISPs router!

Comes with automatic dynamic DNS built in if needed too!

That’s why this post has been made to effectively poll the community

Fine to continue using it if you have it, but you would have to be crazy to start using any of their stuff if starting from scratch!

Mod probably has automod set up to notify them of comment edits in old threads.

Immich doesn’t explicitly support hotlinking, I remember it being a bit annoying to get an embeddable link? (Might have just been for video?)

Yes, it has the bot icon

The problem with this kind of stuff is that it HAS to be internet facing, and you want it to be stable so you don’t cause dead links.

You don’t want to be hosting software that’s not getting security updates, especially while linking to it randomly over the internet.

I use this for misc file sharing: https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser It installs as an app on unraid, nice and easy.

It supports direct links: https://files.nighed.xyz/api/public/dl/cmR8NjHz?inline=true (I don’t think these expire, I guess I will find out if someone complains…)

Or a download UI: https://files.nighed.xyz/share/cmR8NjHz

Every financial institution will ask if you are a US citizen. Most will refuse to accept you as a customer because they CBA with the tax bullshit.

See if you can find a bank that will accept you now, so you are no scrambling when you get here.

My work uses Azure Dev Ops because it’s “free”, I assume it’s effectively just GitHub actions, but without the AI (because no one has updated it in the last 5 years)?

If so, I can agree the agents are awful.

For the size of data that oil exploration requires, tapes make lots of sense still.

They have higher density, and they are more shock proof. When you need to move masses of data round the world, writing it to tape, then sticking it on a plane is still the fastest way to move it (probably, may have changed I guess)

Depends entirely on the ISP
