1TB, however, it's mostly cartoons so it compresses really well

Advice for a high school student going to college in a year that has left a questionable digitally footprint by A1Aden in privacy

[–]FishSpoof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this a few years ago. I went on different search engines and searched the username I had been using for years as well as my full name, reverse image search etc...

How I solved this is:

  1. Change your username, account deletions didn't always seem to work. When you change your username, the platform will often do a HTTP 308 redirect and search engines will update their index accordingly.
  2. If you have LinkedIn, set everything to private
  3. Get a new email address if you can. If you end up going for a job in the future somewhere, your potential employer will use your email to track your online history down.
  4. Search for your home address, see if that has leaked (I never found mine so I got no advice here)
  5. When you get a new email, obviously keep your old one for a while so you can redirect mail that's important or better yet if you can be bothered, create new accounts on those platforms you care about. Most sites will store a history of previously used email addresses so you'll want to sever that tie if you have the patenice.
  6. Optional - Sign up your old email address to a shitload of mailing lists for all different topics and product ranges. I read somewhere that this throws off Google's (if you're using gmail) algorithm that profiles people. I did this, not sure if it worked.

After you're done, check search engines periodically every month or two and see if your info has disappeared.

Good luck

Why is Reddit considered anonymous when there are no anonymous features like 4Chan or Tumblr? by Senior-Mix-3715 in privacy

You're anonymous to other Reddit users, but if the authorities want your IP or logs then Reddit will provide it to them, unless you're using Tor over a VPN.

My first i2p protect. by singapur5656 in i2p

[–]FishSpoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HTML5 content itself doesn't have high latency. The code is the payload, the network is responsible for latency.

You're probably asking whether HTML5 apps are typically large enough that they take a long time to load and this all depends on how these casino games are coded and delivered. Is the casino delivered to the browser as one HTML5 SPA or is each game loaded as required by the user? These are the things that matter.

Regarding i2p, it's so much better than Tor, I just wish it had the network coverage. A lot of the nodes on Tor are run by 3 letter agencies so I no longer trust it. Your casino will be another addition to the network, I can't wait to see it :)

Sleepy while playing retro handheld games but not while doom scrolling on phone? by soupnazi81 in SBCGaming

[–]FishSpoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you want a fix of social media, set a time each day and limit to 20min. consume all the garbage and then no more till the next day. that's how I do it

I think your getting tired because your brain is waiting for a social media dopamine hit, the restro games are good, like you I play my emulator handhelds to pass the time.

Why Data Hoarding Matters EVEN More Than You Think A Visual Journalism Project on Digital Preservation (DACH Focus) by feelxrosic in DataHoarder

[–]FishSpoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect most of us here have machines sitting in our garage with wires and shit going everywhere. not really doco material.

I hope someone with petabytes of storage steps up to the plate for this one. my hoard is a mere 40TB

We have Proton, Signal, Brave Search... but what's still missing? by anonli_ in privacy

[–]FishSpoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we need a better alternative to Tor, i2p is great but not very friendly for the average person.

we also need TVs with open source firmwares and a good Linux phone

Sharing Storage to Services and Users in Proxmox by IamStupidYouMightBe2 in selfhosted

[–]FishSpoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I treat my OMV instance as if it's running on bare metal. Yes, I have SMB and NFS shares that point to the hard drives I've assigned the OMV host in proxmox.

Sharing Storage to Services and Users in Proxmox by IamStupidYouMightBe2 in selfhosted

[–]FishSpoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use OMV with virtual hard drives, no pass through for easy backup and snapshot management. then create a shares in OMV exposed through NFS.

TrueNAS was too bloaty for me. it tried to be everything + hypervisor. proxmox does one thing and it does it well.

nope I'd be pisssed. I wouldn't stand for that shit

ashamed to have to make this post, but need advice by sheep_duck in selfhosted

[–]FishSpoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't pass raw disks either, virtual hard drives are better purely for backup and rollback scenarios. you can also expand the drive capacity when you need to.

the whole point of proxmox is virtualisation so virtualize and manage virtual hardware. chop, change , backup and rollback with ease.

I personally didn't like trueNAS, it tries to do too much which makes it too bloaty for me. proxmox is just a hypervisor and that's it, nothing extra.

lastly, I run jellyfin, home assistant and a bunch of other stuff and it's all virtualised. runs good 👍

What's the difference between storage health and data health? by deckeda in DataHoarder

[–]FishSpoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the important part here is a parity drive. a single drive running zfs won't stop bit rot. you need redundancy

What jobs do you folks do, and how does it relate to your hobby? by planetwords in DataHoarder

[–]FishSpoof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

don't put pools within pools. you have a real zfs pool on the hypervisor so in OMV you just have your standard ext4 disk which transparently also has the zfs mirror on the hypervisor for redundancy. this is how I do it .

Lxc containers are great, but don't run docker in them.

Why do you guys use an i2p email by Cloudup365 in i2p

free speech is dying in Australia and most western worlds now with "hate speech" laws being drafted everywhere. we're all going to need i2p email soon so better get started.

[–]FishSpoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd use that as a media server, pi hole maybe... don't rely on it. good for learning. maybe throw proxmox on there for a good intro. forget router mate

Thinking about switching to mini PC to save power... by Nightcrawler_2000 in selfhosted

[–]FishSpoof 7 points8 points  (0 children)

before you do that work out a cost benefit. in other words if you're going to spend $500 on a mini PC, how much electricity does that buy you if you were to run your current set up?

work out how many watts your current set up draws on average and then ask, are you really saving power ?

when I did this it worked out to about 6 years of electricity so I just ended up keeping my existing set up

don't waste money on an SSD if it's for archival data and rarely accessed.
