  • Can you recommend a router made in EU? Need to replace the one I currently have. Nothing fancy is required.

    Jump

  • I'm a massive mikrotik fan. All of my routers and remote routers are mikrotik.

  • Asking For A Friend: "Can't we just use VPNs to stop services from tracking us?"

    Jump

  • Have them visit this site without a VPN.

    https://amiunique.org/fingerprint

    Then use a VPN and visit it again.

    You are trackable regardless of your proxy just by your web browser metadata.

  • Ignoring the internet bill itself, how many paid online services do you have?

    Jump

  • One VPS (need to grow this one) $10/month

    2 tiny websites $2/month

    Bitwarden Family $3.33/month

    A few domains $10/month

    And M$ Family 365 because it's the easiest way for my elderly parents to backup their photos. $8.33/month

    Oh and proton VPN I think it's $5/month

    That's about it.

    $38.66 a month.

  • The Netherlands Has Banned Fireworks To Protect People, Animals, And The Environment

  • Germany is not much better on the fireworks front

  • People crossing the Capilano Suspension Bridge, North Vancouver, Canada, ~1910s?

    Jump

  • Just build a lower bridge first. Duh.

  • If you had too, how would go about running a Instagram account?

    Jump

  • I have gotten more interaction with pixelfed than with Instagram.

    I have more followers in 1 year on pixelfed than 4 years on Instagram.

    About 60% of my followers are only fans bots and the other 30% are people I know. The last 10% are organic followers who like my photos. I don't do short form videos so I don't have any lasting engagement.

    I have advertised my pixelfed I think twice on the fediverse. But not any more than that.

    If you want to have the community, I've heard that flickr is probably the best. Many people use it and it's photography focused.

    Instagram is taken over by short form videos. If you're not doing that or making really really good photos in unique areas, then you'll max out at 2-3 hundred followers.

  • What is your "great I am an old person now" complaint?

    Jump

  • Soda and juice is too sweet for me.

    A lot of music in public spaces is too loud.

    No longer understanding slang is normal.

    There's not enough hours (days) to decompress after a work day.

  • I've had the same issue. It's a little irritating

  • Why GrapheneOS is Almost Impossible to Crack (Forensic Teams Have Tried)

    Jump

  • Thanks. Makes a lot of sense.

  • What's your uptime?

    Jump

  • I reboot quarterly for hypervisors and monthly for LAN. Anything outward facing reboots weekly.

    My layer 3 switch recently hit 400 days though. That's my highest uptime in my network.

  • Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job?

    Jump

  • The boring answer is something like a bond or CD ladder, or treasury bill focused ETF that'll give you 3% a year before taxes.

    2 million dollars can safely net you 50,000 a year without working.

    And since it's mostly federal bonds, you could be tax exempt up to a certain amount.

    Of course this is the US POV.

    And there are riskier investments that can hit 8ish% with only $600,000, but you'll be at the whim of high risk high reward.

    If you're wanting to hit the tax free limit of $15,750 a year (total income) then 3% APY is $525k.

    Or go super risky run options.

  • I just use adguard home. Worker a little better in my docker setup.

  • Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy

    Jump

  • I used to have a 5700G system that I had to switch out to a 14600k system due to quciksync pass through.

    I got my 14600K down to 55w from 75w with everything else being equal. Insane how efficient some setups can be.

    My 16tb Pi sips at 13w max or 8w idle. But no encoding or enough storage for normal work. So it's warm storage

  • Best way to browse and share files between hoarders?

    Jump

  • We use Tailscale to share between accounts.

    But for large transfers I use an encrypted HDD.

    Jump

  • I selfhost immich in a netcup VPS. They have a 2tb VM for about 22 euros a month via a black Friday sale

    I'm on a 1tb arm plan for about 10 euros a month.

  • People who have moved away from your home town/area, what do you miss most?

    Jump

  • All the mom and pop restaurants I grew up with that have since closed.

    Also knowing all the short cuts it took through the neighbor's yards to get home.
