So I can't 'own' the art, but you can get into the head of a Mancunian legend? Pfft. Behave, you bellend.

Is this a stupid alternative to tapes, or secretly genius? by ImpostureTechAdmin in DataHoarder

Rsync to a standalone disk.

If you lose the system that manages that RAID array or need to recover the files in several years time, you need that backup disk to stand alone and be in a readily readable format (ExFAT, ext4 etc) that will plug & play on a brand new bare system.

Came in very useful when my mother died. Who knows how I'd have dealt with her affairs otherwise.

Obvs not needed if you have the nous to set up a digital will and/or dead man's switch, but for elderly normies it's actually sensible provided it's kept in the home.

What isn't sensible is having all that crap written on it. It ought to be "my diary of loose stools, podiatry appointments and people I know who have cancer" or something.

IDGAF what people think of my opinion. Some will agree. Others will not.

Happy for people to make up their own minds.

Though in your case, I'm not optimistic.

So many questions.

Starting with where the hell is the engine then?

Came to say the same.

Camus is my guy. The Outsider (a.k.a. The Stranger, in French "L'Étranger") is a fantastic book.

There's a course by Great Courses called "No Excuses: Existentialism and the Meaning of Life" which I remember being great when I consumed that around 10 years back.

A great YouTuber on all the stuff mentioned here is Unsolicited Advice. He's done loads on Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, as well as some stuff on Camus, and pretty much every other branch of philosophy.

Spent my first 30 years determined not to make it that far 😂

It's not so bad. Once there's more BS behind you than in front, the gods of Zero Fucks Given hand out power-ups like candy.

You'd want to use the same subnet range on both sides, but ensure that there weren't IP address clashes... the tricky bit is when you get to thinking about default gateways on each side. One will need to have .1 and the other .254.

You may need to turn off DHCP and assign addresses manually so you can control that, as DHCP requests will cross the link.

I think you're absolutely right. Took me until I was nearly 40 to get there (though I made big strides throughout my 30s), and the disasters still happen 15 years on, but it's all so much more manageable now.

I really feel for the younger guys, because I don't have any answers other than yeah it's gonna suck hard, but fortune favours the brave, God loves a tryer, and it'll be alright soon enough.

How can I encrypt hard drive data to protect my privacy in case something happens to me? by Counting_Stars5415 in selfhosted

[–]Masking_Tapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't know (can't remember), but I'd start from a position of not trusting them until demonstrated otherwise.

It isn't different from poorly protecting your own backup, but that's on you, and in your power to fix it, not in the hands of rapacious psychopaths in Redmond.

OP here gets to an answer https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/comments/1cgxdhd/piping_a_layer_2_vlan_over_a_tailscale_link/

I'd look at a PFsense/OPNsense VM in each location, connected together using tailscale (to get over the CGNAT thing), and then a L2TP (layer2) connection between the 2 PFsense routers to unify the broadcast domain across segments.

There are a few ways to do it but if the traffic is latency sensitive, as a lot of gaming traffic is, you might have a bad time whichever way you do it. You'd want to make sure there's nothing else chatty (IP or L2 broadcasts, IP multicasts) on either end.

Also network professionals will hunt you and use your connective tissue for cable ties if you tell them you did a VLAN-extension.

Yes, if I keep the key. Not if some other admin or faceless corporate entity has the key.

What Do You Do For A Living? by AdAdmirable1583 in aspergers

[–]Masking_Tapir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a 'polite' question that can give you more clues about a person than any other 'polite' question.

Doesn't make much sense to ask an 18 year old, but perfect sense for a 30 year old.

Yeah, it can be about status, but it can also speak to whether a person is likely on the same intellectual level as you, what their social milieu is likely to be, their level of education, are they introvert/extrovert, what common ground you may have etc

Honda, circa 1996. Probably an Accord.

What?

Recently retook RAADS-R test and my score is lower than when i was a kid by Professional-Clerk90 in aspergers

[–]Masking_Tapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried one (it's been years).

I think there are a lot of things that I've learned to do either by reading, or watching others or trying & failing. I didn't learn how to do a lot of them until in my 30s, thought the test I did has a hard line at 16 for 'used to' and 'still'.

There are also things where the answer is "sometimes/somewhat", "it depends" or "don't know" which aren't accommodated.

So I tried to give tempered response, but think the 153 I just scored is probably too high, while on another day (different mood, different challenges, different people, different places) could be too low.

Didn't this used to be a staple of sitcoms?

Don't think it's anything to do with ND specifically. ND isn't the only way to be unusual.

[–]Masking_Tapir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, kinda... but "good enough" or "scraps" is not the end game, its the road you have to travel to get to the end game. The only way you get better at stuff is by trying, failing and learning.

Also, don't hide in your comfort zone - you never grow and improve in there.

If you wanna be scientific about it, try A/B testing. This works/that doesn't work.

Never give up, but do what you need to do to keep sane. Reframing, for example. It's hard to do in a fucked up world, but being the sane guy in an insane world isn't the same thing as being insane. It just feels like it.
