It’s so rare that we get a new video, but it’s always a special day when it happens.

It allows me to connect into the house via the VPS without opening ports or knowing my home address.

Nowadays there are various companies offering tunnelling services, but my setup has been working for a long time and I see no reason to change.

It’s the root OS; that Pi is a media centre in the living room (plus it’s taken on a few extra duties since it’s always online). It’s been going for a good few years now, 8+?

I’ve been running OSMC (Kodi on Debian) plus a few useful things like maintaining a reverse SSH connection to a VPS.

Yup: Backblaze Product and Pricing Updates

I plan to switch over later when it makes sense to - the nice thing about Backblaze is that it scales with your storage, whereas with Hetzner you have to jump from 1 TB to 5 TB.

It’s for storing a few terabytes of fairly static media (for the most part, write-once). The codebases using it don’t natively support object storage (and will be in Docker containers).

It’s on a Hetzner server, and Backblaze (even after the price increase) will be a lot cheaper than normal drives, although their storage box option is probably better value over about two GB.

You mean community, btw (sh.itjust.works is the instance).

When I last used Debian, I found myself very annoyed with the lag in the package manager. This is a very long time ago (15 years?), so probably isn’t the case any longer. However, due to laziness (or proactively avoiding a bikeshed rabbit hole) I didn’t check and just chose Ubuntu over Debian the other day because of that.

FYI, the www-less version doesn’t work for me, try https://www.sci-hub.st/

(Somehow I ended up on an old version before reporting this here)

Yeah, the original thin clients were basically useless without the server they connected to, but nowadays even computers the size of a stick of gum are plenty powerful enough for consuming webpages and videos.

You still need peripherals like mouse, keyboard and screen but you might get them as part of the package (sounds like you already have them though).

What did you move on to, and what features made you move?

my account is still 100% storj token funded

That seems to be the key bit, since everyone can use up to 25TB (if they can pay for it). Are you also hosting a node to earn credits tokens?

I love Mermaid, although I don’t think you can currently do network diagrams. I’ve seen Kroki recommended here for doing that, which supports Mermaid plus many similar markup-based diagrammers.

I was going to say my notes are in Joplin, but my more honest answer is basically yours.

I just tried to decode that acronym for a bit too: “mystery kanban bunny haired boss”? He’s a tech YouTuber.

My SSH auth uses SSH keys stored in authorized_keys, but I see your point. For me, OpenLDAP will be letting users in to the various services and SSH is outside that. I suppose SFTP could be something I want, but I’d be tempted to put a new sshd inside a container and have it more restricted than the system one.

I think the backup key idea is definitely the most broadly applicable, but there’s physical/KVM for a more old school access route.

What’s your DR plan? My “plan” is to SSH in and figure out what’s wrong.
