I wasn’t exactly homeless thankfully but lost my account through addresslessness and it took almost 18 months of relying on other people’s bank accounts before I was able to become independent. It becomes a ridiculous catch-22 very quickly, where you can’t get an account because you don’t have documents and you can’t get documents because you don’t have an account.
What a great build up and a cathartic well deserved pay off
Lest this [the clapback] seem like mere high spirits and hijinks, Lee’s partner and his mother both “received harassing messages through Facebook Messenger,” while other messages targeted Lee’s son, saying things like “I would kill your f—ing n—– child” and calling him a “racemixing pussy.”
Ahhh the internet I know and love, never change
On the off chance anyone uses BorgBase for off-site backups, I would like to shamelessly plug a Prometheus exporter I wrote for monitoring your account. It exports name, available/total space and last modified time for all repos in your account.
around £17 per person according to the article
I have a Contabo VPS that costs less than $5 a month and allows for 30TB of bandwidth. The only love letters I received for seeding were basically emails telling me for informational purposes and no further action will be taken (they don’t give a shit basically). Way more functional and cheaper than a vanilla seedbox but obviously requires more work on your part to set up.
It is complete overkill for most home server tasks but I would look to run something like this for next 10 years at least so I can see it making sense if you cost it out like that.
Depends on your personal use case of course but for comparison I have a (relatively) piddly Intel N305 processor mini PC with 16GB of memory and currently run a 25-30 container load, including Plex and a torrent server. My setup currently idles at around 20% CPU and 25% memory utilisation, so I can quite confidently say the linked N5 ought to give more than enough headroom to handle a typical homelab/self hosted load.
Death death to the IDF
Don’t mean to outright negate the article but I have experienced literally none of the problems mentioned with Wayland through three separate installs over more than 2 years. I happen to be running a nightmare of a setup too (nvidia/AMD GPUs in a laptop)
Put first episode on max priority + download sequentially. Go make a cup of tea. First episode is ready to stream. Do same to second episode before you start watching the first and Robert is your father’s brother (Bob’s your uncle).
Today I learnt, thank you.
Question please, how would podman alleviate container update woes?
I tried many different keyboards but honestly nothing matched up to SwiftKey, now sadly owned by Microsoft, so I locked its internet access using RethinkDNS (or NetGuard)
I’d have to second Feral Hosting, although I haven’t used them for years. Starting from £10/month for 1TB and unlimited bandwidth.
Setting a random SSH port and limiting it to 3/min saw failed login attempts fall by 99% and jailed IPs fall to 0.
A reverse proxy saves you from having to expose your services directly and acts as a go-between.
Internet <--> Reverse Proxy <--> Service
Nice tips! Personally will use SSH aliases and canonicalised hostnames.

~/.ssh/known_hostsJust under two right now but it is throwing out 55-60GB a day at the moment. Gotta keep those Linux ISOs seeded!
This week I finally managed to route torrent traffic through a VPS that was sitting around gathering dust. I am behind CGNAT so was taking me 6 weeks to do the kind of traffic I do in a day now. I couldn’t be more chuffed.
I assume no encryption is safe from three letter gangs, at this point I’m only concerned with keeping grubby corporate fingers at bay.
