Yea that is what I have been doing. Although it seems the smaller sizes are not a great deal anymore and I am hesitant to buy anything larger due to the long rebuild times

My regular electric toothbrush instead of a travel one. I have found its just easier to just throw my toothbrush in a bag morning of then to deal with having a 2nd one for travel which is often disgusting

This article is ridiculous. It just says the theatrical cut is available on a pirate app on roku. The theatrical cut has been available in various forms to pirates for years now. It does not even mention which version of the theatrical cut was put in the app so it could just be a crappy laser disc copy that released 30 years ago.

Had a hard drive fail my main zfs array. First time I have experienced a disk failure so it was a bit worrying. Thankfully I had added an additional drive to expand the array so I was able to quickly rebuild to that drive. Currently shopping for a replacement. From now on I think I will keep a cold spare just in case this happens again. I just wish hard drives would stop increasing in price.

I have honestly been considering this but less for protection but more for preservation. I feel like the best way to capture what its like to live in the world of today is to just walk around and start recording mundane things. Sure this is much more prevalent than it used to be but oftentimes I find myself wishing I just had more photos of the places I used to frequent that are simply no longer in existance.

Also if you do go this route and are concerned about privacy and security you can get a cheap vps then setup a VPN (wireguard probably) on the vps and have your home server connect to that. Then you can forward the vps ports to the VPN IP of your home server. This means that you don’t need to have port forwarding or even a dedicated IP at home and users don’t get your home IP. Keep in mind you need a vps that is relatively close to your house to keep the latency down as this setup will add twice the latency between home and the vps to the connection.

Just an FYI getting a vps or dedicated server that is fast enough for Minecraft modpacks is going to be fairly expensive. It might be cheaper to get shared hosting for the MC server and a separate vps for the docker stuff.

I usually try to tip relative to the cost of the food. If I bought something really cheap (few dollars) for a few dollars I might tip up to 40% but if I got something more expensive I will usually tip like 15%. I try to consider how much effort the server has put in since I think it makes sense that way. If I only see the server 3 times but they deliver a really expensive plate of food I don’t think they deserve as much as someone who might have delivered multiple plates or had to do extra work like splitting the check.

I usually also backup the etc directory so if I had an issue I would at least have the config files from the old setup. This has already saved me a few times when I have really messed up configuration files.

Honestly I would be fine if they just setup some kind of mirror so their posts would show up across different platforms. The biggest issue with then not using mastodon is just not being informed of what is going on. They don’t need to engage with people on mastodon just setup some kind of bridge.
