I assume when you mention `on-site` you mean my house - yep, NAS is at home.

I self-host. And then I backup everything to my RAID6 NAS. And then, though irregularly, backup to offline media. I sometimes read comments on this very forum, that hosting your ow…

This, I can't agree more! When I was attending school, I remember it to be more of a survival camp and adjustment to structures than anything else. I hated it with passion and yet …

Very tiny utility for migrating postgres databases within podman/docker. https://github.com/grzegorzk/pg_upgrade_docker

Hi all, I was recently going through pg_upgrade of my project and came up with this tiny utility. Sharing here in case anybody would find it useful too.

Hmm... I listed available presets with `-F` option, and then downloaded various different presets (actually, examples have this nice option to download and merge all available audi…

Hi HN! I maintain a playlist of youtube clips for offline use in case I run out of internet, and recently I noticed something strange. I was listening to this clip on youtube: http…

I can't tell if my hardware was not compromised (most likely it was not), but for the data I store on my SSD - I keep it fully encrypted with boot stored on hardware aes-256-encryp…

I fall asleep a few minutes after I lay down on bed, does not matter if it's day or night. If I can't fall asleep at night and I know I have to be fresh next day, I focus on each m…

How comes this made it to the front [Ask HN] page... None of my submissions made it that high :)

I was considering to incorporate in UK (not for tax reasons but for transparency of their laws compared with the place where I live). My accountant told me that recently there had …

This website is hilarious! Thanks for sharing! I thought the place where I live is expensive, used the website to compare with Tallinn and found place where I live is actually chea…

I meant traditional public school, it's what I referred to as "classical" ("classical" in a sense what I believe most of us went through), though I understand there are private sch…

> On the other hand, I also have a notable lack of respect for authority figures. I went through "classical" education system (with lots of aggression, as somebody else already men…

Asking as somebody who does not really get this law jargon - if you distribute your software, which might be a little bit of glue code putting together some freely available open-s…

This feels like trying to match physical-world regulations to software products... I'm skeptical about this legislation, it feels like another step for policy makers to conquer sof…
