QOTD: What’s your favorite technological advancement in the last ~10 years? 🤔
QOTD: What do you host on your home server? How do you host it? Are you using containers? VMs? Did you install any management interface or do you just SSH in? What OS does it run?
Mine runs Arch (btw) and hosts a handful of things using Docker. Adguard Home, http://mckinley2nxomherwpsff5w37zrl6fqetvlfayk2qjnenifxmw5i4wyd.onion/, and some other things. NFS, Flexo, and Wireguard (peer and bounce server in my personal network) are outside Docker. I have a hotkey in my window manager that spawns a terminal on my server using SSH. It makes things very easy and I highly recommend it.
I am thinking about replacing Docker with Podman because the Common Wisdom seems to say it’s better. I don’t really know if it is or isn’t.
Also, how much of your personal infrastructure is on IPv6? I think all the software I use supports both, but I’ve mostly been using IPv4 because it’s easier to remember the addresses. I’ve been working for the last couple days on making it IPv6-only.

QOTD: “Being a god is no guarantee of adult behaviour.”
QOTD: “Criticism and negativity alone still secrete a phantom of the reality of power. If they become weak[…] power has no recourse but to artificially revive and hallucinate them.”
QOTD: “Like any extension of the human psyche, machines are scary things[…] When you take the scary human psyche and magnify it hundreds or thousands of times with technology, it’s really nightmarish”
QOTD: “Let’s get back to hating the conspiracy instead of ourselves.”
