I haven’t really thought about this before. I have a catchall email that I make up new emails for on the spot, and if it’s something I never expect to need to email them (e.g. newsletters), I’m still using Firefox Relay addresses (@mozmail.com), it’s only $10 a year so I never stopped using it.

NASA and SCUBA are two acronyms that show acronyms clearly don’t have to be pronounced like their source words as a rule.

I’m starting to wonder if a mailpit instance is a bad idea. Just a page you go to where any email goes, make sure it’s not externally accessible.

Don’t forget unique email addresses. I’ve had two spam emails in the last 6 months, I could trace them to exactly which company I gave that email address to (one data breach, one I’m pretty sure was the company selling my data). I can block those addresses and move on with my life.

My old email address from before I started doing this still receives 10+ spam emails a day.

I may have misread but it seems the article says the records are qualify as public records and so can be requested by anyone.

That’s not the same thing as public domain, unless I’m mistaken.

Also tab to autocomplete.

The command line looks like a lot of typing, but with ctrl+r and tab I barely type anything.

I do nightly borg backups of much more than 200gb. The idea of incremental backups is you’re only doing the changes, and photos don’t tend to change.

What challenge did you come across with a 200GB backup?

Looks like it’s one of those sites that let you easily host an instance of various sites, one of which includes Lemmy.

I’m not sure who will be affected but if it’s anyone, probably mostly single user instances.

Woah woah woah, 5 years? I can’t pretend to be a good worker for that long

You could use lemmy.world. They allow creating communities and if you follow the instructions your account will be auto-approved instantly.

Another is https://sh.itjust.works/ which is another general audience instance that allows creating communities.

For reference you can get the default lemmy experience at https://l.lemdro.id/

However, Lemmy allows admins to disable the ability to create communities. It looks like they have used this option.

You could always create a community somewhere that does allow it by signing up for a new account there, then appoint your original account as moderator. You should be able to continue from there as if it was on your own instance.

Brand recognition is important. I have heard for many ads they don’t care if you pay attention so long as you hear/see it briefly, because you will be more likely to pick their product later when it’s the name you recognise even (especially) if you don’t remember why you know it.

Well according to the OP, it’s a list they offer for free and it’s integrated with many browsers including Firefox…

Where I work they use the microsoft phishing simulation, for which they publish a list of domains they send from.

If I’m on my local network hosting my locally hosted services, I do.

I really wanted to like Bazzite but after a couple of months I couldn’t handle it. I really need the tinkering 😆.

I’m considering it for the kids though once we get a family PC, but I also really want things like being able to switch between Gnome and KDE and other stuff like that which makes the experience nicer.

Can confirm, I’ve recently got some cameras and set up Frigate and it’s been great. Not using Reolink but the ones I have work well enough. I have a TPLink that I like, and a Hilook starlight camera that I am not convinced on as it doesn’t seem to have auto-exposure adjustment. Both work well for object detection, though there’s a bit of a learning curve with frigate needing to be configured via YAML for a lot of things.

I’ve also started playing with Frigate’s face detection but I don’t think the cameras are really positioned for it. It probably makes more sense for a front door camera getting a good view of the person.

I’ve also got Home Assistant picking up the frigate camera streams which works well too.

I have a domain I keep because it’s short, but my main one is more memorable. I just don’t want to lose the short one, I’m sure I’ll find a use for it one day.

Yup, seems the issue for this is still open.

I have local storage for my photos, then backup to object storage using Borgmatic and Rclone to B2. But you’re right, you can’t directly use object storage with Immich.

Local storage on a VPS is expensive, and I’ve never been happy with a lower powered server serving media. Personally I self-host and send a backup to Backblaze B2 for offsite (using Rclone).

I use Borgmatic for incremental, deduplicated backups but make sure you save your encryption key somewhere you can access it if your house burns down.
