I merged a bunch of note data in #Obsidian and sent Claude to inventory the tags so I could clean them up.

Claude called me right the fuck out.

@phillip if you’re a #Proxmox user a PBS server is required. It revolutionized backup for me.

One pretty cool thing about this is that because I have my whole network on Tailscale (including my phone) and am running a Pihole DNS server for that Tailnet I can internally use my local IP address for my Mastodon server, so when I use Mastodon myself everything stays inside the home.

Using Pi-hole as a DNS Server for my Tailnet - blog.thms.uk

Use Pi-hole as a DNS server across your entire Tailnet with Tailscale, without forcing all traffic through an exit node. Ad blocking and internal DNS everywhere.

"The US is no longer a democracy. One of the most credible global sources on the health of democratic nations now says this outright. The Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute at Gothenburg University reaches the alarming conclusion in its annual report, that the US is hurtling towards autocracy at a faster rate than Hungary and Turkey."

We live in a time now where literally 4 out of 7 members of my family would say he's wrong based on "their own research".

We're so colossally doomed.

@sterndata Side note, I used the bash script that they provided, for my Debian server and it worked flawlessly.

I'd appreciate if people automating posting random state info about their house to Mastodon [tangentially: why? who benefits?] either wouldn't do it with the #homeassistant hashtag, or at least would include another common, easily mutable hashtag so I don't have to keep muting accounts while following the HA hashtag because I'm interested in, well, people talking about Home Assistant. 🙃

Ok, it seems like it’s not that easy to find some shortening for Aujourd’hui. I have decided to stick to Auj. though not that sure about it. #language #french #ui
