Did you know that HOLOGRAM is an anagram for GLAM HOOR?

Ok that’s just not true at all.

Core temps ramp up astonishingly fast on RPi!

Actually really enjoying OpenSUSE Tumbleweed… first time on a rolling release distro and so far no major complaints.

Probably would have started with Arch (btw) but I felt a little daunted by the install process. In contrast with my ~2010 attempt, all my data is on a separate drive with automatic backups to NAS — so when I upgrade to an NVMe drive I’m going to give it a whirl.

Just before overriding the safety brakes on your elevator and popping the cable release: Sorry to give you the shaft...

You should know that not all clients display your display name, some only show your username@instance.

It’s not apparent to everyone that your name is Onno.

There is no original thought.

A friend of mine had some explaining to do when he screwed up a dhcp config change and started routing his guest wifi through his “personal” pihole instead of the restricted guest one (he had family/children over often and did not want to be the reason nephew Timmy got an eyeful of wet bush or a beheading).

His family-friendly pihole was at holypi.lastname.local and his private one was creampi.lastname.local

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?

If you’re practicing 3-2-1 backups then you probably don’t need to bother with RAID.

I can hear the mechanical keyboards clacking; Hear me out: If you’re not committed to a regular backup strategy, RAID can be a good way to protect yourself against a sudden hard drive failure, at which point you can do an “oh shit” backup and reconsider your life choices. RAID does nothing else beyond that. If your data gets corrupted, the wrong bits will happily be synced to the mirror drives. If you get ransomwared, congratulations you now have two copies of your inaccessible encrypted data.

Skip the RAID and set up backups. It can be as simple as an external drive that you plug in once a week and run rsync, or you can pay for a service like backblaze that has a client to handle things, or you can set up a NAS that receives a nightly backup from your PC and then pushes a copy up to something like B2 or S3 glacier.

Wait until you hear about the oil refining process!
