Rabble. It’s themed with my other devices, Pibble, Pabble, and Ribble.

Look at them, embracing open source like this, how wonderful.

“It’s a Rust based…” You son of a bitch, I’m in.

I used logseq for my first semester of university and I can’t see any reason to switch right now.

It handles markdown and KaTeX, so it handles everything I need really, in a fast simple program.

My first thought was " Who has a PLC in their home?".

You only need to eat two meals a day, really.

If people want to use Brave, or Windows, or install screen doors on their submarines who am I to complain?

The fact is for a lot of people, Brave offers a superior out of box experience compared to firefox or almost any other browser. In terms of ad blocking, speed and ease of use, it’s pretty much second to none. The fact that you install it and go is really appealing and how easy they make the slider to adjust the aggressiveness of the script blocking is great ui that my dad mother could use.

Yes, the company isn’t very good, it’s headed by a guy with a questionable history and has a poor track record when it comes to monetization strategy. I stopped using Brave this year, but for ages it was my goto because I could just install it and have an improved web experience.

It actually happened to me many moons ago. The Canadian ISP in question sent me an email saying that torrenting was “of disputed legality”(or something) and that someone in my house had torrented Ubuntu! I wish I still had the email but this was mid/late 2000’s.

I use KeePass and keep it synced with self hosting Nextcloud. I get the appeal of bitwarden, but I’m really trying to get off other people’s computers.

There’s an old adage for cars that I think applies to home servers.

Fast, Cheap, Reliable. Pick two

In my experience, SBCs take a whole lot more tinkering than I like to do. I bought a cheap matx motherboard and a second hand ryzen 2400g which has served me well. Inside a second hand htpc chassis with an ssd for the os and a couple hdds for storage. It even has a 5.25" bay I can install a drive for ripping. I’d rubbing OpenMediaVault with Docker for Sonarr/Radarr/Overseerr/Nextcloud etc.

It’s probably not the cheapest to run, but it was cheap to buy and it’s very reliable because it’s based on x86 so the support will probably outlast me.
