Crontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you’d do some log diving and figure out the cause.

I got a NUC on ebay for about the same price, maybe a little less. Has more I/O and an SSD.

Nice of them to attempt to point blame at AWS, I’m sure AWS appreciates that.

That’s why I reject all in Firefox settings along with wiping everything at close

I have a different electric truck with 21" tires, and it does fine in the snow. It even has a snow mode. The weight might make it even better than some pickups.

This is the tires or something else with the design, for sure.

On Graphene with Sandboxed Google Play (even on Android 14), this was where the setting was.

Friends don’t let friends use Snap.

I wasn’t talking about whether or not to trust FOSS, I was talking about Zello (since it’s closed source, which I originally mentioned). There might not be a FOSS alternative, I don’t know since I have never needed a walkie talkie app. That’s why I didn’t mention one and only answered the first part of your question. You’re right that it probably can’t be fully trusted (because it’s closed source).

The reason FOSS will always be better is because claims like that can actually be validated and audited. Any company can claim their stuff is E2E encrypted, but you’ll never know if that’s true for closed source software. Even if they do actually do E2E encryption, you’ll likely not know if they’re doing it properly and with strong encryption algorithms.

Was about to mention Mikrotik. They even have a 100GBit switch for under $800 (CRS504-4XQ-IN).

Frigate + reolink is a great combo.

Kagi is great but it’s a subscription based platform ($10/month). Well worth it, at least for me.

Home Assistant, in this case; YAML.

LUKS with LVM is probably what you want to encrypt your “hot” drives with. As for the actual backups, Borg and Duplicacy are great. I personally prefer Duplicacy as I find it much more polished, but Borg is great too. Both include encryption options.

If you’re concerned about recovering data, you should try recovering now. Make sure your backups are actually working and you can properly recover. You don’t have backups unless you test them.

Just used it to generate some HA automations that GPT-4 struggled with, and it was definitely faster.

I agree, but Signal on mobile doesn’t require destruct timers either.

With Kagi, you can kind of do this, either through lenses or by completely blocking website from your search results. Obviously not as good as a block list but still, something.

Then why did you say “you don’t know what you’re talking about” and are just now bringing up systemctl? Moving goalposts maybe?

This was never about runlevel 0 or 1 programs. This was always about whether or not a user can use systemd without root. Why would Brave need to start a VPN service at an init runlevel (before most networking services)? It would make more sense to start at login.

Again, it’s not true, so you don’t need to keep acting like it’s the case. You do not need root to create systemd entries for a single user. Systemd is pretty much just symlinks all the way down. You can test this yourself, so I don’t know why you’re saying it’s not possible when me and many others in this thread have told you that you were incorrect in the first place.
