JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨ in c/selfhosted

[–] skittlebrau 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve got two JetKVM units on the way.

TinyPilot and PiKVM are just way too expensive in Australia. Buying two would cost me about $1000 AUD, but two JetKVMs are only $260 AUD.

Nextcloud Local vs NAS Storage in c/selfhosted

[–] skittlebrau 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I have my storage mounted from my NAS using NFS and this is added to Nextcloud using the External Storage plugin. Works great.

A thousand Australian university jobs are at risk. Who’s to blame for the dire financial state? in c/[email protected]

Probably before they got greedy and decided pursuing overseas students for the higher fees while lowering standards was a long term sustainable business choice.

Has anyone tried the new Resilio Sync 3? in c/selfhosted

[–] skittlebrau 1 points 2 months ago

One other nice thing with Resilio Sync is that it supports selective sync on an easy per-folder/file basis. While you can sort of do this with Syncthing by using ignore lists, it’s much easier with Resilio since you can just right-click/open files you want to keep on your device.

Do you selfhost your own blog/website? in c/selfhosted

[–] skittlebrau 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I self host a Wordpress site that mostly acts as my design portfolio.

It’s hosted in a Debian VM on a restricted VLAN with caddy handling SSL certificates. Uptime isn’t a huge concern for me since it’s nothing mission critical. It all sits behind a free Cloudflare proxy which allows for my home IP to be hidden.

I think as far as safety goes, I’m comfortable with this setup.

It only took two days for someone to unlock a developer mode in Baldur's Gate 3's modding tools, opening up the possibility of custom levels and campaigns in c/[email protected]

I’d like to think it was a subtle middle finger to Hasbro.

Who ever thought it sounded good this way? I think it's because headphones weren't widely used back then. in c/[email protected]

I used to use a Meier Audio headphone amp which ‘fixed’ this with a switch toggle. Handy feature.

How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use in c/[email protected]

Nano is more like fast food. It’s easy and convenient, but it makes you feel a little guilty and dirty afterwards.

Black Myth: Wukong is too mediocre for all this drama in c/[email protected]

[–] skittlebrau 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

In any case, I stand by my decision to almost never buy single player games within the first year or even second year of release. I save money and the worst bugs are fixed. If I keep seeing articles about a game popping up everywhere, I become even more sceptical about whether it’s hype that’s warranted.

You have the right to disconnect from work after hours from today. But what does that mean in practice? in c/[email protected]

[–] skittlebrau 2 points 4 months ago

I think the aim for this law is to make it easier to empower employees to say ‘no’ with the risk of high fines as a deterrent. Whether it makes a difference or whether employers will simply force you to agree to contact outside of work hours via updated job contracts, is anyone’s guess.
