An asshole

Well, VPS then.

What would be a “not personally setup”?

Both, somewhat. It is a virtual root server. I’m still considering to consolidate - at least - my OpenBSD servers into one, but I’m lazy.

My backup server is the only one of my servers that is located outside Germany. You know, in case the British come again. Or the data centre of my other servers burns down. Or something like that.

Every night, this server receives a (compressed, incremental) backup of the most important data (content and configuration files) from each of my other servers, which I created with Borg.

I haven’t been able to try Linkding on any of my servers yet, as neither OpenBSD nor OmniOS are supported. I would probably like it if it did.

I’ve had quite a few spicy Scotches in the past. I’ll try to compare the New Riff during our next monthly whisky tasting round, assuming we’ll have a few ryed ones. We usually do. :-)

They make so much beer of their own anyway, and a lot of it is pretty damn good, so why bother importing?

My favourite bar imported about a dozen US beers last year, simply for the sake of variety. However, the price-performance ratio is a bit exaggerated - US imports are expensive.

Ah, that’s right - bourbon! I (arrogant Scotch snob) always forget that. Ironic coincidence: WhiskyJason tried to get me interested in New Riff at a whisky fair. It worked: I’ll get a bottle in the post tomorrow. It’s pretty nice stuff.

As a German, I am very surprised by this. The Americans are not known in this country for their high-proof alcohol.

I wish I knew.

Germany has the EU’s highest energy prices. Just saying.

Iyengar said he struck up a conversation with Lockheed Martin recruiters, mentioning that he would not be comfortable working on projects complicit in Israel’s military offense. Iyengar said he was trying to think deeply about the impact of science and engineering, and to learn about Lockheed Martin’s mission.

That guy needs to be awarded, not disciplined.

1. There is no obvious way to install Hoarder on an unsupported platform. My servers run OpenBSD and OmniOS. Both of them don’t even have any Docker support. (Which is not something I’d absolutely need, to be honest.)
2. Hoarder runs on Node.js. I will use Lisp (edit: or Rust, but I’m positive I’ll beat Lisp’s session management some time soon). Node.js is a dependency hell.
3. Hoarder does not really encourage manual and/or regex-based tagging, it strongly suggests relying on “artificial intelligence”. As I am rather disappointed by what “artificial intelligence” is currently able to do, I’d prefer to default to the old approach.

Of course, all of this is just a personal preference.

Working on my better Hoarder alternative. Goal: maybe 2025.

Even if there was any truth to this, a good search engine remains unimpressed by world politics.

First sentence, last sentence, skip the rest.

The WordPress “spokesperson” is exactly as butthurt as you’d expect:

we continue to protect the open source ecosystem

lol.

Federation (which Bluesky also strives to achieve) is not something that you’ll even notice once registered, and the lack of users (and thus content) is a self-fulfilling prophecy, don’t you think?

They are not.
