Playing games was fine - it was loading things up that has sucked. I haven't gotten dota up on the SSD yet, but on the HDD it was real clunky and would half-load the landing page and sit there for ~10 seconds.
The biggest difference, though, is that firefox now opens immediately instead of taking ~10 seconds after clicking the icon
I installed pop!_os as my daily driver some months ago (completely got rid of windows) and have thought it pretty good. But something about it seemed off - it would take programs just too long to open, it wasn't snappy... Once I got into something it seemed to run fine (playing dota or something else was fine after initial quirks). Well, today, figured it out... When I did the first install, I was very nervous about deleting all of my existing data on my disks and so tried to manually partition everything so that I could get it right (I think I was also planning to dual-boot). Fast forward to today, and I'm testing speeds on all the drives to see which one to pitch for a new one I acquired. I see the 3 HDDs, but where is the SSD... Oh god, I installed the boot partition and root and home all onto one of the ~12 year old HDDs and the SSD has been sitting idle. Anyway, just about done with the new fresh install onto the SSD, hopefully it isn't too hard to start port over the home directory from that HDD...

It sounds like you have a heavy duty door lock to be very secure, but you are essentially trying to backdoor all that security with a new internet-connected thing. An adversary only has to break the weakest link here, rendering the physical door lock obsolete.
If you are just going to have some digitally-connected device ultimately controlling access to the house, I'd go with just some standard door lock that does that (i haven't used em but they exist). The physical lock on those is surely less what you have know, but with your proposed solution the physical lock probably isnt what people who crack anyway.

Can "ai" make a good game, or just a thing that generates video and mostly accepts inputs (and it isnt even hardly doing that)?

Datasette is a neat tool intended to publish static data in a sqlite database on the web with a helpful gui and a bunch of extensions available. I havent come across a good enough reason to do it myself, but may do what you want.
You can spin it up locally and it wont be on the web at all, just accessed via your browser if thats what you want.

The folks who found it are presenting at Defcon this weekend, according to the article.
I imagine some of the industry press (i.e. Wired) are just looking through the Defcon agenda to figure out what to write. I saw two or three other articles about hacks or exploits and things like that that also mentioned it was bring presented at Defcon.
Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not. But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

Unrelated to your actual post (plan to read later), but is your RSS busted? The rss link on the webpage gives a 404 and my RSS reader is erroring on it as well...

I doubt PBS has 15% slack in their budget, so a 15% cut would cause a lot of havoc.

I learned a lot about pandas (a library built mostly on top of numpy) by going to stackoverflow and trying to answer questions with the tag. Hopefully the questions have a minimal reproducible example and are isolated to one specific question

Ive got this working with Caddy and Adguard
I use Caddy as my reverse proxy. It is running on the machine in the basement with all the different docker-container-services on different ports. My registrar is set up so that *.my-domain.com goes to my IP.
Caddy is then configured for 'service-a.my-domain.com' to port 1234, and the others going to their ports. This is just completely standard reverse proxy.
For some subdomains (i.e. different services) ive whitelisted only the local network. There is some config for that.
Im pretty sure that I also have to have adguard do a dns rewrite on the local network as well. That is, adguard has a rewrite for '*.my-domain.com' to go to 192.168.0.22 (the local machine with caddy). I think i had to do this to ensure that when the request gets to caddy it is coming from the local whitelisted network rather than my public IP (which changes every couple months, but could be more).

Your comment is really useless. I support the cause of free speech, but there is absolutely no need for what you said. I think this community is meant for discussions that are meaningful

Everyone who downvoted me didnt read the article, or didnt read what i said, or didnt read op, or something, i dont remember what they didnt read but they cannot be real because the only way to disagree with me is to not have read something or other (or did read it, cant remember which)

When i was doing a headless install, i spend a hour or two trying to figure out how to pre setup configs for the debian installer or how to do it over network or what before i finally lugged the new machine to the other room and plugged it into the monitor and keyboard of the main rig, installed it all (and set up ssh so i can later get into from the main rig), and unplugged it.
My point is, even if it isnt trivial to have the keyboard and monitor, it may be much easier to get them than to really do an install without them.

This whole thing is a depressing hoot
But Mr. President, won’t your newly announced tariffs raise the prices on American consumers?
Biden: No, because here's the deal. There's a difference. I made it clear to Putin from the very beginning that—I'm not, we're not engaging in…For example, Trump wants a 10% tariff on everything. That will raise the price of everything in America. [Editor’s note: Biden appeared to mean Xi here, not Putin.]

So, I know very little and have a poor understanding of the software licenses, hence why I'm asking. I have a 'smart' thermostat that came with the new HVAC system. It is the [AprilAire 8920W](https://www.aprilaire.com/whole-house-products/thermostats/old-wifi-thermostat/model-8920w). It has a touchscreen, connects to wifi, does lots of 'computer' things. I cannot imagine that this furnace company built their own OS and kernel and everything else from scratch; it seems most likely it is running linux, yea? And with that, includes libraries and other tools that are under some version of the GPL, yea? I went down the router rabbit-hole some weeks ago and found the firmware for routers available on the Linksys website, the Linksys site has this ['GPL Code Center'](https://www.linksys.com/ca/support-article/?articleNum=50485). I'm finding nothing of the sort from AprilAire, though... So, if we assume that my 'smart' thermostat is running Linux (and, say, busybox, a common GPL-ed tool on small systems, like routers), they are obligated to provide the code for at least those pieces of software, right? They need to give me a CD or have a page on their website (and include the link in the manual) and all that? Do they need to give me access to the entire firmware as well? The router folks do, but you also sometimes need to re-install the firmware manually, so that may not be a license issue. However, how would we know if they are violating a license if we don't know what is running on it? I'm curious about how the GPL / copy-left licenses work, and wondering if I found someone who is violating it. I also want to hack the thermostat to control it without the motherfuckin' cloud, but that is a bit separate.
I've got my main house server that has a number of dockerized applications, including [nextcloud-aio](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one). Nextcloud-AIO comes with a built-in backup system using BorgBackups. I've had this running and doing my backups, it is probably fine. Notable, it does encrypt the backup. Now, I recently setup a separate machine to use rsnapshot to backup the things from the main machine that need backing up. It is SSHing on a schedule to do that, and backing up the folders I've listed. When I set that up, I skipped the nextcloud borg backup, because that is already backing up; however, it is not a remote backup, so is of limited use (granted, my 'official' backup computer is using about 18 inches away from the main server, so also of limited use). I can easily just include the nextcloud-borg-directory on the rsnapshot list, but does anyone know if it will properly handle just the updates? That is, both Borg and Rsnapshot are set up so that each backup isn't a complete backup but just incremental changes, so that you don't fill your whole disk in two weeks. But if Borg does that first on the nextcloud data, will rsnapshot just not work and then try to backup the full 50GBs every day? Or just do the incremental changes? Will the borg encryption jack up the ability of rsnapshot to see the changes? If no one knows, I will just do it anyway and report back in a few days if my disk is completely full or not. Edit: it has been ~4 days, and I think it is not all busted (not going to say it is a good idea). The total space it is taking up on the second (backup) machine is what I expect - it hasn't ballooned because it can't properly grok the borg backup format or anything like that. Importantly, this is after ~4 days and very few changes (updates/deletions/edits) to anything on the nextcloud.
Hey, all. Is it possible to skip this 'register your server' step when creating a self-hosted Rocketchat instance? I just don't want to, ya know? Regular websearching is just giving a lot about how to disable user registration rather than skipping the server registration with Rocketchat HQ.
