Every night my NAS wakes up, fetches the data from my unraid server, backs it up and also sends an encrypted backup to a hetzner storage box on a server in a different country. Haven't had to use it yet, but in theory works fine. Should do some more regular testing though...

I recently switched my phone from Android to GrapheneOS and now rely even more on my selfhosted services. Immich is such a great project. Still gotta figure out my music collection though, since switching from YT Music to Jellyfin. Most of it is sorted by date of purchase, because that worked best with my DJ workflow. Now I gotta bring it over to a folder structure that works for jellyfin. It seems like the answer is musicbrainz Picard, but I gotta figure out how to configure it.

Also been thinking about some AI ideas I'd like to try, but I have zero intention getting involved with openai, meta, google or whoever the fuck. So self hosting it is. But on what hardware? Option 1 seems to be to get some professional server board, CPU, ram and start with one RTX3090 and go from there with the option to hook up more GPUs. But a setup like that sounds like it would cost some serious money in electricity. Option 2 seems to be a Rzyen AI Max+ 395, configured with a fuckton of ram, available to the whole apu and as suchs usable for memory hungry models. This seems to be much much more power efficient. But its all integrated and I couldn't swap out components or upgrade in the future. Leaning towara option 2 atm, but maybe I'll just wait a bit longer and see what else comes up in the coming months.

Well, not too long ago there was a part of Germany where people learned Russian instead of English. The French just hate English I guess.

rechenknecht und datengrab sind bei mir ein erfolgreiches Duo.

I tend to think that's kinda intentional. Drives up engagement by people telling them how to play in the chat. Also makes people think that they can do better and buy the game.

I know. What's unique to Cologne is the fact that the people deciding the budget and the bosses of the construction companies share a table at some carnival events, drink some Kölsch and make some deals. And the people of Cologne enjoy this as part of their tradition. And once all the tax money is gone and the rest of the city collapsed (as long as it's not the Dom) they'll simply say "Et hätt noch immer jot jejange" and carry on as usual.

Come to Cologne, where people are proud of the corruption and nepotism, affectionately called "Klüngel", that directly turns their tax money into profit for some clever Jeck. For example via an opera house that was supposed to cost 250 million and is currently projected to cost about 1,5 billion.

The Digital Silkroad is an interesting read, if you want to learn more about China's surveillance and data ambitions. Also covers Hikvision quite extensively.

I doubt you could find a laptop made in or after 2015 that won't run N64.

Same boat for me, works great! I got the NFC Yubikeys which work fine with Android.

If you want to know more, also take a look at openCode and ZenDis, the (kinda) government institution behind it.

Did you, by any chance, ever wonder, why people deal with hunger instead of just eating cake?
