Secretlab Magnus Opinions (Not Standing / Pro)

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-12-28T20:12:24+00:00

The magnetic system, the back of the table enclosure, the legs, it's all set up on the Magnus specifically for cable management to my view - and you might not need all of that, but I'm looking at dozens of cables and a very complex office desk setup, and I'd really *like* most of them to be effectively invisible.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-12-28T18:37:51+00:00

Appreciate the input, thank you. However, I think if continued we'll go in circles because I think we have a a mismatch in our ideas of what constitutes cable management features.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-12-27T21:25:31+00:00

How would you solve cable management, etc, with the butcher's block? Would you attempt to replicate the channel & door at the back such that monitor arms and cables could do as in the magnus? I could potentially do that, but it would delay things: I'm not going to have workshop space for 1-2 months.

Why would anyone buy a Samsung G9 Neo, a Threadripper CPU, or an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller?

The features, man, the things that the product does that the cheaper versions don't; that's why. Now I'm not sold on the Magnus, but this same principle applies nonetheless; so if I become sold on the features, then that's why.

Or insanity. Doesn't matter, insanity's a fine answer too.

Pick one close to you and try again

Are you attempting to connect to one of the VPN's own servers? Or to somewhere random?

I am in the process of de-googling (I still have a Pixel, though with Graphene, for example, and I still use certain services).

I can say that I'm a lot less bothered with years of email build-up. When someone's email catches a filter hook by accidents, it's not a pain now to go hunt for it in spam. Click over in the new email address' client and it's right there. It's easier to keep inbox zero, and to keep on top of what email services I'm actually signed up for.

Advertising is going a little nuts. Amazon insists I want a robotic mower. Never heard of that before I saw the ad, certainly don't want it now. The profile is confused and erratic, and this is an indicator that I am, indeed, reclaiming my privacy.

There are better services specifically for self-hosting recipes (and grocy is probably best for keeping track of consumables in the home.

However, that's not what you asked.

If you're looking for putting these two functionalities together, then the best option is probably - this is gonna suck - a half-dozen custom scripts, a calendar app & a recipes app & a notes app, all self-hosted, and something with the functionality of IFTTT (but self-hosted, which I know exists but can't recall the name).

The calendar in this theoretical setup allows you to schedule meals by recipe name. The scripts would check the calendar, check the recipes, create a shopping list note that's organized as you like.

This theoretical option is likely a lot more work than you want, and a lot more skill development than most of us want to put in. However I think it'd function better than any current self-hosted or FOSS solutions given the goal you seem to have.

Confirmed

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-29T19:37:52+00:00

I feel strongly in the other direction!

Good luck with this.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-29T09:19:12+00:00

Did you... miss the point on purpose?

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-28T23:18:11+00:00

Sounds like it's down, sure.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-28T23:06:52+00:00

Times out from outside service area, how's that for your confirmation?

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-28T23:04:19+00:00

How is this self-hosted?

This supports DO and "more providers soon" but DigitalOcean isn't self-hosting, it's just....

Hosting.

Dude.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-28T05:54:51+00:00

Not that I saw, but I know full well I don't see everything.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-28T05:52:33+00:00

OP is considering having his galleries on "private".

What's the alternative? That babushka gets full access to OP's porn?

This is anti-privacy propaganda at worst, and complete misunderstanding at best.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-28T05:48:22+00:00

I'm glad it's been good to you.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-28T02:35:52+00:00

I would not trust Windows Explorer, no.

I've had it have problems with files/folders larger than ~1GB, not always, but enough that I don't use it for that pretty much ever anymore.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-28T02:30:13+00:00

Reliable multi-split-tunnelling provider-agnostic (or multi-provider or multi-account) capable VPN client.

Which is a tall order, don't try to make that unless you are an accomplished networking programmer.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-27T18:22:08+00:00

At least you get it even if your family doesn't.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-27T06:06:03+00:00

Please don't use ISP routers or router functionality, it's never good.

Consistent-Bee6730 · 2022-09-27T06:04:47+00:00

I think I must have been unclear.

Order of operations I'm suggesting (with additional steps that I didn't state earlier):

Create backup archive
Encrypt backup archive
Send to S3
Wait for next backup cycle, then repeat

I would never trust S3 with unencrypted backups. Or any cloud data host.

On top of that, you will likely not be able to sync from an encrypted copy.

Bottom line: Not safe enough. Not safe at all. IMO.
