If they digitally nuke them. I don’t want to be apathetic to death and injury

Iocaine? I followed the instructions on the website which were fairly easy to follow. Depending on your skill level it might suffice.

• Seeing the rising request count as ai bots circle around in iocaine
• Knowing where my photos and files are
• Having useful services that don’t require a subscription to random company
• Learning and experimenting with things

It was some dodgy accounting accusations/reveals https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/04/backblaze-responds-to-claims-of-sham-accounting-customer-backups-at-risk/

For me it was an excuse to try something new and cover my ass just in case this didn’t pan out. But overall it looks to have blown over

I used to use B2 before the whole CEO financial issues came out (not another one accused of something unsavoury) and wasn’t sure how it’s going to pan out. I switched to a cheaper (per GB) Hetzner storage box and am super happy with it

I use restic, specifically https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest for making backups and uploading them via rclone.

A lot of good stuff here. Especially realising how useful an LLM actually is for coding. It’s a tool and like most tools has a purpose and a limit. I don’t use a screwdriver to put in nails (well sometimes I do at a pinch, but the results suck) or cut wood in half. Spicy autocomplete is probably a good use case, but even then “use with care” should be employed.

The whole “prompt it correctly” stuff is pn point. People have written books on how to correctly and effectively prompt the LLM. If I need to read a book to learn something, why not just read the book on how to do the thing? Or use the LLM to summarise the book, then at least you’re going to get somewhat accurate information. We had someone create an AGENTS.md at work and I read it and it just sounds like a joke “You are expert in this and the human known everything. If unsure ask the human” etc. If the main gain is that I don’t need to type so much I might as well use voice dictation.

That is aside the financial, environmental, health, and safety issues and damages that are all bundled in for free. If people just saw it for what it is, instead of glamourising them as the panacea for all their problems.

I was also wondering this. There’s some info here specifically https://forum.torproject.org/t/are-there-any-risks-to-running-standalone-snowflake-on-home-network-if-so-how-significant-are-they/16710/5

From the article

Charm.sh is awesome stuff. Many different tools all CLI based. https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve for soft serve which is a git host you browse over ssh

Soft serve by charm.sh is also fun to use. If you’re a CLI junkie.

Thank you for everyone’s help and input. I have it working now, albeit not in the way I had hoped (not using docker containers for it) but it works. I followed https://thedevquill.substack.com/p/setting-up-a-tailscale-exit-node but instead of using the NordVPN image I used the plain Wireguard client image. In the wireguard compose I set network_mode: container:wireguard. Now when I connect tailscale over the exit node, traffic is going out over the wireguard IP

The issue is that the remote server (the one I want to use as the exit node) doesn’t have tailscale on it. Otherwise I’d be doing just that :D

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I will give this a shot.

Sorry to be unclear Yes I want to be able to access my home services from outside over wireguard, but connect directly into the home network. However once connected to the home network I want all traffic to be routed outside via the remote wireguard server.

Thanks, knowing the term will help search for information

I was wondering the same

It stands for Trump Always Chickens Out

Personally I have the restraint they are talking about. It’s just laziness in disguise though

Elixir is a nice functional language. Not as purely functional as Haskel mind.

It is based off of Erlang and runs on the Erlang VM. Syntax is Ruby inspired. It is not a high performant language (like C, Rust, etc), but it excels at distributed computing and fault tolerance. There is excellent documentation and tooling for it as well.
