Still impressive imo, I have friends who work in IT who don’t even self-host lol

I like to call myself a professional idiot. I love tinkering with my homelab setup.

As someone with a strong tech background, that’s just impressive to me. It’s cool to see non-technical people are interested in self-hosting too, and for good reason.

Thankfully that’s one thing that can be restored between BIOS versions for my motherboard lol

Depending on your BIOS and/or motherboard, you can’t restore them between versions. The point of clearing the BIOS settings after flashing a new version is to ensure that you only have values that are expected, which is why restoring backups can often be blocked between versions.

Yay, another BIOS update!

I am getting so sick of all these BIOS updates because of all these security vulnerabilities all the time. It is so tiring having to set up my settings all over again all of the time. Earlier this year, or maybe it was last year, it felt like every month or two there was a new BIOS update for a new security vulnerability.

Woohoo! We internal now! No more FQDN collisions!

Don’t use hardware RAID, use a nice software RAID like zfs. 2 HDDS and an OS SSD would be a great use case for zfs.

Yeah I use .com for my seedbox.

Yep, we are what make these sites important.

That’s why I’m always interested in self-hosting. I have my own Plex and Jellyfin seedbox server for the private trackers I’m in, with a VPS hosting an OpenVPN to make it look like I’m in a different country, just to make it that much safer. It works damn well.

The creator of Yu-Gi-Oh died a hero: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2022/10/15/national/kazuo-takahashi-death-helping-girl/

Not only that but he died giving his life to help save others. He died a hero.

Really sad to see all these creators of legendary series like Yu-Gi-Oh and Dragon Ball dying. Rest in peace.

Holy shit a new season?! Let’s fucking go!!!

Look at me, I’m the admin now.

I still need to look into self-hosting Lemmy some time, but alas, it takes time lol

I’m even more tempted now that lemmy.one, my main instance I was using, appears to be down with a database issue according to its API. Which of course means if they don’t have working backups, it may actually just be gone forever, along with my post history there.
