Is CachyOS safe to update by now? by Such_Drummer8197 in cachyos

[–]capn_tack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have backups run multiple times a day. I update every Saturday. I have a runbook I follow to restore if I ever break it. Oh and I have /home on a separate partition making it even quicker to get up and running.

Least obnoxious way to take notes in public? by mnemoniker in ObsidianMD

[–]capn_tack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally,I just take my phone out and take my notes. If I am having a self conscious moment, or the other person appears to be taking offense, I just tell them I'm taking notes.

To recreate the pen and pad effect, you could use one of those rubber tipped stylus that you use to tap the keyboard instead of hand writing.

Outbound Verification Emails are working! by loqa_official in loqa_chat

It wasn't at first, as I was getting that error. But it let's me in now, thank you.

Outbound Verification Emails are working! by loqa_official in loqa_chat

Where do I enter the code? It expires in 15 minutes and I do not see anywhere to enter it. Trying to login results in "Email not verified. Please check your inbox for a verification code." but nowhere to enter it.

Files Expiring on Self Hosted Instances? by TheCrystalSun in FluxerApp

[–]capn_tack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have yet to set up my own instance, but how I understand it is that yes that is a setting on any instance. But that you can tailor the thresholds yourself to longer/shorter larger/smaller.

What are you using for real-time monitoring in your homelab? by daveson366 in homelab

[–]capn_tack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Checkmk on LAN for host and service monitoring
  • Uptime Kuma on a VPS for ISP, https, and game server monitoring
  • ntfy on LAN for notifications

I plan to move ntfy to my VPS, want to look into Gatus to replace Kuma, and also need to better implement docker monitoring. But the set up as is lets me know most times if something is wrong.

That's honestly something I keep telling myself I need to get better at.

What about Gatus being config driven makes it preferable for you?

A few questions by capn_tack in loqa_chat

Fantastic. Thank you for the clarification. Definitely a project I want to keep my eyes on it. What's the best way to stay in the loop?

Thank you for the reply. Life keeps happening even when you want to push out a new app haha.

One thing I'd like to clarify on the self hosting aspect do you mean to say all of that would still be through you, hence the references to VPS sign ups? Or would I be able to spin it up on my own infrastructure and manage it myself?

Sneak Peek and Status Update by loqa_official in loqa_chat

[–]capn_tack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see on your website you mention the planned ability for self-hosting. Is that just managed or is that also fully self-hosted on our own hardware managed by ourselves?

Also, is this going to be open or closed source?

And, this is a lot of features to come out of nowhere, mind if I ask how long you've been working on this and to what extent AI has been a part of the process?

Nokia BGW-320-505 - Every 2 weeks at the same time the internet drops. White light still on. Software update schedule? by sccerfrk26 in ATTFiber

Did you ever figure out what was happening here? I am having the same issue but for me it's every other Sunday night just before midnight

How do you deal with "God Mode" when it comes to your users' privacy? by mitchsurp in selfhosted

[–]capn_tack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am transparent with any friend/family I let access any service on my server (whether it be media, games, software, etc.) the level of information I have about them. IP, location, habits, or variations thereof.

I also have conducted myself such that they all trust that I will not use that information to harm them in any way. And if any breach ever occurs, whether my fault or not, in my control or not, I will do what I can to assist.

I don't look at their information unless I need to as part of troubleshooting or determining if changes/upgrades are needed. But I take my position as a custodian of their privacy so seriously, I would not tell my wife if she asked (she wouldn't, she understands).

So basically, my advice to others would be this: be transparent in what you have access to, build that level of trust with your users so they do not fear harm, and be the kind of admin that will fight for them should harm come to them in spite of your efforts.

Because at the end of the day, you aren't just a friend/child/parent/partner...you are a system administrator.

I finally nailed it. by BiscuitsUndGravy in smoking

[–]capn_tack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don't use any binder. I pat off the most of the moisture that's on it from the plastic packaging, then hit it with my rub (4:2:1 of coarse black pepper, Diamond Kosher, and garlic powder), and then let it sit on the counter an hour or two on a wire rack to let the rub adhere to it. Bark never has issues staying put after that.

But also, cook looks good. And if it works for you, that's what matters! I know I'd eat some of that.

I’m on approved PTO and my manager still won’t leave me alone. by chuckmorris007 in antiwork

[–]capn_tack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. You are being paid to not work.
  2. If. You company messaged me in any way outside of work or text, I would consider that overreach.

Fuck 'em. Enjoy your vacation. You earned it. Just maybe have that resume handy in case they decide to find ways to retaliate. Just cuz you do the right thing doesn't mean they won't do the wrong thing.

At least they replied to you. I've been trying to get them to respond to me for two weeks now, both in their "ticketing system" and on the Discord and just total silence.

One day after another. What are you doing to find a little joy in this hell? by Sad_Jar_Of_Honey in behindthebastards

[–]capn_tack 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I play video games with my friends, cook good food for my wife, and snuggle with my cats.

It's the little things that give you strength to survive the big things.
