I still have my previous phone… S5 that I used for seven years until it couldn’t get updates and I “needed” some apps that wouldn’t run on the old android version (I don’t remember what they were at this point or if there was a way around it).

It’s been sitting on my desk for the past 5 years waiting for a purpose. The battery is shot but it still “works”. Maybe this is that purpose because I was specifically looking for something like this a few months back …because I thought it would be funny to have that phone as a server.

No, silly, 25 years ago was nineteen seventy… Wait.

26 years later and my brain still default counts back from 2000. Stupid brain.

Same here. The magnet is at the top of the … pole? The steel shaft that the table rides up and down on. It’s just below the upper motor housing so it’s well away from the drilling area and doesn’t collect ferrous chips. There’s also an allen key stuck to the magnet that I assume is important… probably for some type of maintenance on the drill press that I’ve never done.

Great info, thank you!

I’m sure it varies by locale but are there specific certifications / licenses for this?

We’ve been talking with an entity that owns a tower about getting permission to place a meshtastic node on one of their towers and, for some reason, it’s generally frowned upon for some rando to just spider monkey up there : D

I’d considered going through a cert class for fun, if nothing else, but my Internet searches didn’t turn up much reputable looking information. I’ve got a pretty strong background in rock climbing, SAR, and the associated rope work, but obviously those aren’t the same.

Thanks for the heads up!

For some reason I can’t get into audio books so text it is :)

I recently finished Dungeon Crawler Carl and someone suggested this as related. I’m going to have to check it out after I finish the Hyperion cantos (I just recently discovered Endymion)

Same. I quit whatsapp the day after facebook bought it. Switched to signal and never looked back. The few people I talked with on whatsapp moved too.

It’s always fun trying to find the next one when the previous goes out of range on road trips. Yes, we could look it up on a phone, but it’s more fun to guess each station genre as quickly as possible.

“Country, Christian, Christian country, classic rock, country, WAIT this might be NPR…”

Same. I love that it has no online features.

Intuitive or not, I’ve noticed that more frequently lately in SaaS websites I use at work. Left side default collapsed with an icon you wouldn’t expect for “all the important stuff is hidden here”

Silverbullet.md for actual notes with formatting and such.

Quillpad for checklists.

But silverbullet.md IS foss. Very similar to Obsidian, but F/OSS. It also stores your files in .md files in a directory hierarchy on the file system - very easy to backup.

Silverbullet.md is an actual open source note taking application, Obsidian is not (and they’re kind of slimy/evasive about it). I haven’t used Obsidian myself but a coworker was showing it to me when I was talking about Silverbullet - they’re similar.

O! Thank you for this picture.

I was in somebody’s Y (I think? I don’t know teslas) a few weeks ago in the front seat and I pulled the mechanical door release across multiple different stops around town before he told me I was supposed to push the electronic “open door” button.

That spurred me to think “wait, if I pulled the mech release by default and it’s pretty obvious/intuitive, what’s all the hubbub about getting trapped in a car because the manual door releases are so difficult?”

I didn’t realize it was about the rear door handles rather than the front until right now. Granted, the front manual door handle is fairly different than “most” cars but I still found it pretty obvious… more obvious than the need to push a stupid little button to open a door.

You’re correct.

The only time I can think of that this approach wouldn’t work is if the quadlet config file specified a tag/version on the image setting besides latest. That is, if the quadlet file specified something like Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:a_old_version. I usually stick with latest on mine.

EG: Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

Mine are frequently quickly saved from a meetup or acquaintance and so I save them how I can remember them…

Contact name : “Rosa (married to Shawn from the garden)”

Contact name : “Bar: Has a roofing company don’t remember name - does free estimate. roof roofing roofs shingles”

Thank you for posting this. I tend to get a lot of my opensource project info from Lemmy so people who take the time to post it are awesome.

Just updated my home instance. Can confirm that 10.11.7 is available in the Debian repos and the update went perfect. I got a new kernel in the same update : D

I’ve been dreading the new computer as well. I built the original incarnation of my current one in … holy shit, late 2013. I was thinking 2016 but I just looked up the order and it was 2013. I did it pretty damn “top of the line” because I wanted it to last ages. I have occasionally upgraded or replaced drives, GPU, RAM, power supply, but I’m still on the original board+CPU.

It’s still great… running Linux and occasionally gaming.

That’s mostly correct. If we want to be super technical, I’m not “logging in” to my router, just using it as a Tailscale network bridge to gain LAN access so I can SSH from my phone to my server. But, in general, yeah.

I currently don’t allow any direct access to my server from the internet. The only way to access it is Tailscale. I have Tailscale installed on both my desktop (always on) and my router (also, always on). The reason I installed it on the router is because my desktop is also full disk encrypted. So, if there’s a power outage then both the server and desktop will reboot and both will be waiting for LUKS unlock, rendering my desktop useless as a Tailscale jump point.

Since the router boots automatically then it will always start back up and allow Tailscale access after an outage and therefore I can use it to access my LAN and SSH to the server to enter the password.

Basically the same setup you’ve got with the RPi - having a node that comes online automatically after a power outage, automatically starts Tailscale, and allows LAN access. You use an RPi, I use my router. (I briefly did the exact same thing as you, with an RPi, until I found I could install it on the router : )
