You can store Passkeys in open source password managers.

I don't know most of my passwords, so the step to passkeys doesn't feel like a big one. I also really like the flow of pressing Login; Bitwarden pops up a prompt without me initiating it; I press confirm. Done, logged in, and arguably more secure due to the surrounding phishing and shared secrets benefits.

We host most stuff at home, and then additionally some services at Hetzner on an (auctioned) root server. Bloody nice to get really good hardware for cheap, plus unlimited data with either 1 or 10Gbit synchronous network speed, a dedicated IPv4,...

Stuff like my mail server lives there because it HAS to be available, and doing it at home, and doing it well, is next to impossible.

I'm planning a nix hydra + cache server, which will probably also live on the Hetzner server, simply because it'll have pretty intense jobs to run a lot of the time and I'm not a fan of having the noise of spun-up fans at home.

Both solutions have their place, is what I'm saying / agreeing.

  • every VM with state backs up its state to the NAS once a day
  • client devices rsync most of their home folder to the NAS once an hour
  • at 3:15 in the morning, a Borg backup job starts pushing the days changes to a Hetzner storage box

Through borg, I have the Option to go back to any point in time with the backups. I will probably never need this, hence why it happens in this step, not on the rsync job to the NAS.

Things like movies and tv shows are not backed up, they are replaceable. All in all, about 2tb of documents, pictures, and VM state is backed up to Hetzner, out of the 16tb on the NAS.

Pick and choose your battles.

I will never understand why people wear wear-once, then throw-away clothes.

  • if I like the piece of clothing, I want to keep it for as long as possible
  • if I don't like it, I don't buy it

No - because the do not count trains that either never started their journey, or that stopped midway through and turned around. It's a really sorry trick to make the statistic look "better".

"It's not delayed, it just.... Jever got there!"

Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.

Actually.. Just tried it. I am on 2025.10, so newer than what was mentioned there. It still does not understand any better than from what I remember. Bummer.

But hey, at least the acknowledge that there's the need for something between dumb pattern matching and an LLM.

Holy shit YES!

That article is from yesterday, and the relevant section is: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/10/22/voice-chapter-11/#improved-sentence-matching

Awesome to see improvements there. Thanks a lot for linking!

Alright, thanks for the recommendation (seriously)!

Definitely planned for next time. This time we went south to Fukuoka (already very few tourists) and rented a car back to Tokyo, staying in smaller towns. Highly recommend.
