I grow a few tomatoes myself. Not quite the operation you have going tho. After doing a significant amount of research, I have found that is does great for my seizure condition. One of the terpines of cannabis is Linalool, and it is an effective anti-seizure med. So, I grow strains that are high in Linalool. After a seizure, it makes for a better rescue med than Ativan. In all honesty, tho I think cannabis gets over hyped a lot, it has made a demonstrable positive difference in my life. It isn’t a panacea drug, but is definitely has many medical use cases. It’s a shame here in the US that rich, white, racist, capitalist’s legislation from 100 years ago, still bogs down it’s legalization.

I currently grow weed

Cannabis will grow just about anywhere. However, to make it do magic, it takes skill.

The diversity represented here is interesting to me. Surgeon, teachers, musicians, mechanics, etc. Fascinating.

It also helps that my local bdsm community had had self hosters who talked about it for years.

I’ll have to admit, that is one of the most unique statements I’ve heard at Lemmy.

I’m an entrepreneur, jack of all trades good at none. My relationship with technology started at a very young age thumbing through the pages of Pop Sci & Pop Mechanics magazines. As a kid, I would drag my wagon to electronic repair shops (back when people actually had their electronics fixed) and ask if there was any ‘junk’ they wanted to get rid of. I’d load up my wagon and back to the house I’d go to explore all my treasures. Some of it I actually could fix and I was the only kid I knew with stereos, turntables, small b&w TVs, radios, 8-track & cassette players. The excess, I would sell to friends.

I built my first 5 watt HAM radio set from a kit from the N.R.I which promised me that if I completed the course, I would be guaranteed of a successful career in electronics. LOL Later on, a friend of mine at the time and I built our own low power FM transmitter and would put on shows after school for the kids in the neighborhood. We would take call ins for requests…until that drove my parents(?) mad because of the constant phone ringing.

My first computer was an Altair, then a Timex/Sinclair, and I’ve had just about one of each since then.

Fast forward to the age of the internet, and my first real ‘self hosting’ gig was running a fully licensed, internet radio station in the pre-napster era. Well, Napster came out I think in 1999-ish and that’s about the time I fired up the internet radio station. It was selfhosted and streamed to Shoutcast CDN servers paid for by an outfit I worked with called the IM Radio Networks. Everything was automated. We could take requests from a webpage of popular choices, that got funneled to the server, and in a couple songs, you got to hear your request. We featured Indie bands we solicited from MP3.com, but also carried commercial bands too. And then the RIAA took a giant shit on internet radio. A large group of us went to Washington to plead our case before a committee headed up by Senator Leahy.

From there, I’ve been selfhosting something or another but it didn’t start to really gel into something really serious until Docker came around. That changed the game. That takes up to present day 2026. Still selfhosting, still intrigued by technology, still that wide eyed kid trying to learn all he can stuff into his limited brain.

Libre-cock and balls

<actual LOL>

libre
adjective

    With very few limitations

I think it has to do with whether or not the image contains enough metadata for a scan to take place and thus it doesn’t know the status of said image. I’m going out on a limb, but this would be something the dev team should have included in his manifest or what ever(?). I’m not a Docker programmer. I think I read that somewhere else. Give corrections if any.

None that I can’t text, call, or email for sure.

Since we legislate to the lowest common denominator, I see the internet becoming rather restrictive for people who solicit popular sites.

Exactly what changes are being made? I see age verification, but other than that, anything outrageous?

no one likes installing dependencies and crud onto their pristine environments any longer

It just depends, however, containers sure do make things a lot cleaner.

(You are really underestimating the second S of KISS in my case, sorry!)

LOL That got a physical chuckle as I can most definitely relate.

IIRC that was 5 mb. It weighed about 2000 lbs

Invoice Ninja and OpenOffice is about it for any of my several businesses. I don’t need anything complex for what I do. I do construction estimation, and I used to be a farmer among other things, but I’m getting along in years to be doing all of that. So I divided up 22 acres into plots and lease to local farmers to grow silage, soy bean, and other such crops. I also have several one acre plots I lease to community groups who want to grow their own vegetables and small crops. I still keep a few livestock around for my own personal use.

We’ve come a long way:

Not saying I disagree with the underlying sentiment, but there are too many multi-story buildings in Russia, and for some odd reason, people tend to fall out of windows a lot in Russia. I assume their construction practices might be a bit shoddy. Is there an OSHA equivalent in Russia? Somebody needs to drop a dime.

I know you specifically asked for non-US back up solutions, but I honestly don’t think you can beat Backblaze’s personal tier, as far as pricing. $99 per year for unlimited storage. Solid company, I’ve been using them for years. If you are encrypting your backups, and following the 3,2,1 back up schema, should Uncle Sam grab your backup, it’s pretty much useless and you still have a couple backups in hand. You can encrypt with VeraCrypt or similar, and push that up the pipe to BackBlaze.

The caveats to using BackBlaze are, whatever you are backing up, has to be connected to the PC/Server. So, no NAS although someone here mentioned a work around for that, so if you go the BackBlaze, make sure you ask here what that option is because my frail brain cannot remember what the name of it was, but apparently it works well. Other such options would be rclone, Mountain Duck, ExpanDrive, or odrive. These are unofficial softwares, and can/could lead to termination of your account. Secondly, if you’re pushing aver 10 TB to BackBlaze and you need to restore, 10 TB is going to be a bitch to do online. However, you can ‘rent’ a HDD from BackBlaze. They’ll mail it to you, you restore your data, and send the drive back for a full refund, or keep it should you wish.

I receive no compensation from BackBlaze for this recommendation.

This. Assuming you are following the 3,2,1 schema, if the big, bad American boogie man gets it, it will be encrypted (useless), and backed up elsewhere.

Music has always been entertaining, informative, controversial, and political. One only has to look at 60s and 70s music. Very politically charged. Hendrix, Dylan, RATM, et al. So, I don’t require artists and musicians to quell their political core beliefs in their songs. However, when their political core beliefs, coupled with just being an outright asshole, overshadows the enjoyment of their music, I tend to turn a deaf ear. Kid Rock plays well with the redneck crowd, so there’s that.

See, I understand that when using 1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1, Cloudflare will assign different IP’s to use as it deems necessary. That was not the issue. The issue was the VPN was reporting several different IP’s, same IP block owned by the VPN (first three octets were the same), but different ending octets. That has never occurred in the years I’ve been using a VPN and checking every morning. So that is what caused the heartburn. I am running the VPN on my pFsense box.
