Mastodawn

#homelab gurus! I am considering replacing our old #Synology DS1525 with a #TrueNAS, mostly because I want to run #Immich, #Paperlessngx, and #jellyfin on it without having to deal with Syno's out-of-date #Docker implementation.

If you're running TrueNAS, two questions:

1) how hard was it to get automated backups of #Windows and #Linux systems set up? I do appreciate Syno's built-in backup tools.

2) how bad an idea would it be to run these compute loads on the NAS vs a separate compute node? We are *not* heavy users - just the two of us and we're pretty casual about home use, so it feels like loads would be pretty minimal...

Any thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

As Metro hits the half-century mark, we should take a moment to appreciate the freeway-revolt activists of the 1960s and 1970s who said the nation's capital needed subway trains instead of highway lanes.

Yo @ProPublica, I’ve been watching what you do here while your “please donate again” emails continue to pile up. Resist the #enshittification path and “betrayals of the public trust by …. other institutions” that is part of your mission statement

I know it is a little thing but I wish more people would correctly set the language for their Mastodon posts. It'd help other users automatically filter out posts they can't read and aren't interested in.

Eisenhower warned about the Military Industrial Complex 65 years ago but did we listen? Follow the money: who gets this $200B and who pays it? The grift continues while enhancing the distraction - a double dividend

lol, in a cruel twist of fate, AI turned coders into the very thing they abhorred most: managers.

Anxiously awaiting the appearance of this BitWarden archiving capability that others requested so long ago https://community.bitwarden.com/t/archive-old-accounts/7191/158.

Inspired by ProPublica’s new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trump’s business empire.
That and more in this week’s newsletter. Read! Free!

Where Trump's money comes from (and other mysteries)

This week's newsletter covers a range of topics: The president's complex network of companies, how weather has gotten worse, a new tool to visualize the whole world at once. But I did reserve some time to call out a terrible chart from Fox News, so stick around for that! Chapter
