Regarding DNS servers, what router do you have? Some routers have simple enough DNS capabilities


I have a MikroTik, and have it set up with DNS entries for internal services (including wildcard). Publicly accessible services just use my registrar's DNS (namecheap


no complaints).

Good point, edited to add comment.

Edit: as pointed out below, these numbers are for type 1 and 2, so the population is requiring insulin is much lower than this.

Among the U.S. population overall, crude estimates for 2021 were:

• 38.4 million people of all ages—or 11.6% of the U.S. population—had diabetes.

• 38.1 million adults aged 18 years or older—or 14.7% of all U.S. adults—had diabetes (Table 1a; Table 1b).

Sure, the majority of folks don't have diabetes, but come on, this affects a huge number of people, and I would bet that a vast, vast majority of people at least know someone with diabetes.

And yes, those are national whereas this is California---but it's also about changing hearts and minds. When someone from Texas, struggling to pay for their kid's insulin, learns about this, they might just question some things.

I've been really impressed with Immich, can't recommend it enough.

I'd put substitute first, but yours sounds better :)

(I'm a big Immich fan, and I'm taking and sharing photos more than ever before, in part because Immich is awesome, self hosted, and open source [the other part is that I have kids now so I'm taking way more photos that grandparents want to see].)

On low end CPUs you can max out the CPU before maxing out network---if you want to get fancy, you can use rsync over an unencrypted remote shell like rsh, but I would only do this if the computers were directly connected to each other by one Ethernet cable.

Not sure I agree.

First, stocks tend to be highly correlated with "the market" (see financial "β"/"beta coefficient"). For example, look at, say, The Home Depot or Ford Motors. From January 2000 to January 2003 (spanning the dot com bubble) they each lost about a third of their value, yet these are not "dot com"-centric companies.

Second, the promise of AI is that it will help every company that has desk jobs. So every company has this expectation now priced into their stock, and if the bottom falls out, well...

Not an analyst/I don't pick stocks, but just my 2¢.

If you're running it via docker compose it's trivial to upgrade, and there are no breaking changes. Pull, down, up, you're done.

Frigate is pretty good, too. I've only been running it for a few months but I'm very happy with it.

Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.

I rsync as well, but use snapshotting on the remote drives. So, a bad rsync would suck but shouldn't really result in data loss. Ransomware on my local+remote server would of course be very bad...

I do something similar


I have a raspberry pi and a HD, with daily rsync and snapshots (monthly retained indefinitely, weekly retained for a month, daily retained for a week). It's at family's house, connected to my home via WireGuard via a VPS. Tailscale (or anything really) would also work here.

It's a great setup! Just have some watchdog reboot if it can't talk to home (a simple cronjob with ping -c1 home.lan || reboot or similar).

Even our "slow" 35Mbps upload speed is way more than enough for incremental rsyncs of my Immich library. The initial sync was done in person, though.

I got one from goHardDrive on eBay (link). It was cheap enough, looks flawless, and knock on wood has been working fine.

Googling around, the brand gets...mixed reviews. My use case is such that of this drive fails it's not a big deal.
