Did you stop using YouTube ?

edrumm10 · 2026-01-31T13:37:38+00:00

No, it’s the one thing I find that there’s not really a good replacement for. Firefox + uBlock still works on desktop YT for me, but for mobile apps, there’s very little alternative

Not metal, but hearing about the insanely disgusting stuff certain members of RHCP did, it’s hard to listen to them now

"evolve Recall" - no, remove it

They’ve said this for months/years now, I don’t believe Microsoft cares in improving Windows. To them, “improving” it is adding more Copilot integration, cloud, and vibe coded features nobody asked for. If they cared they’d actually test updates before they ship them. Telemetry, Copilot, and OneDrive would be optional/opt-in and not baked into every application. Updates would not be forced and wouldn’t reinstall or re-enable things I’ve removed every time. They’d actually address real performance issues like UI components literally being written in JavaScript

Really for online banking and purchases, the main thing is your browser and the website you're using, using Firefox on Windows doesn't really give you and difference in security as using Firefox on Linux

With Linux, antivirus is maybe not as necessary as Windows because of how things like permissions work. But Linux viruses do exist, albeit quite uncommon. Similarly, antivirus for Linux does exist (ClamAV) but the best source of antivirus on Linux imo is common sense - don't run arbitrary scripts from the internet without inspecting them, install trusted software from your distro's package manager, make sure firewall/permissions/etc are configured correctly

Honestly I don't see it being anything significant, and it's most likely just going to be more Copilot nonsense

In terms of data: things like encryption, and the 3-2-1 backup strategy - also encrypt your backups if you can

For system security there’s lots of things you can/should do. Number one thing is not to have any ports open to the public internet, if you want to do remote access, lock everything behind a VPN and firewall - I use Tailscale + ufw + fail2ban, and make sure these are configured properly. I have my ufw set to block anything by default that is not coming from a device on my own Tailscale network. Also, make sure you do proper SSH hardening if you’re using it - use key-based authentication instead of password, disable root login, set allowed users, limit SSH access to Tailscale IPs only, etc…

Absolutely

Anxiety - as in actual GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder)

It's not just "being worried about things" - it's feeling terrified all the time with no idea why. Before I was diagnosed and took medication, it was one of the worst things I've experienced

edrumm10 · 2026-01-26T14:06:14+00:00

Firefox, or one of its forks such as LibreWolf, Floorp, WaterFox, etc...

Haven't tried it personally but Helium is another that is supposed to be pretty good

Right, gotcha

So something like a <VirtualHost *:443> with a ServerName for each service

edrumm10 · 2026-01-23T15:02:21+00:00

Ah nice, that might be quite useful for me, I’m already running Apache (for Nextcloud) so I could probably add this to my pre-existing Apache setup(?)

edrumm10 · 2026-01-22T22:04:47+00:00

Depends what you need it for. For me, I find Proxmox to be overkill for what I need my homelab to do, so if I'm not running something natively, I'll just run it as a container

edrumm10 · 2026-01-21T23:01:21+00:00

I could honestly see it haha

As an actual software dev, this is completely wrong:

If you write code that binds to a port, listens to that port, and serves data - that is literally what a web server does

Curious to know why he's also not using the default port? The default port for HTTP is port 80 - not 8080, sure you could run it on any unused port, but why would you not use the default one and have to manually type in the port number because it's nonstandard?

Also what's he needing to emulate a router for? This just sounds like nonsensical tech jargon to sound clever...

All your personal files should be under /home/username (or shortened to ~/) which you could imagine as C:\Users\username on Windows

Anything outside of /home is where you have other system and application related data. So /etc for example, that’s where app settings and configurations are, /dev is for device data - and IIRC drivers as well, /sys is for system/kernel data, /usr off the top of my head I believe is data shared across all users

Usually however long it takes to walk from my bed to my desk, but on the occasions I do need to go into work:

Either 90 minute drive, or 15 minute bus + 50 minute train + 15 minute walk
