Vanilla nginx is still too far over my head, but Nginx Proxy Manager makes easy work of it.

A lot of people like Caddy but I’ve never tried it. The config files are much simpler and it auto-renews certificates (but so does Nginx Proxy Manager).

I enjoyed my quick visit to that place.

That’s pretty neat. I was expecting something basic like “pay it off every month and there’s no interest”, but this was much more interesting.

It’s a method that web pages use to make sure you didn’t make a typo in the number.

Is it maybe because of physical distance? How far is your VPS from the Backblaze region? Check the bucket “S3 Region”. I’m stuck on west, for example, even though I live on the other side of the country. There’s a way to switch, but I haven’t had the need to bother with it.

Self hosting a calendar isn’t too difficult. I use NextCloud personally, but as the saying goes “it’s overkill for your specific requirements”. Nothing wrong with overkill, though.

Another option might be LubeLogger. It’s designed to track car maintenance, but you can set up time based reminders. For example you can create a “vehicle” called Dishwasher and set a once a month reminder. The problem is notifications… LubeLogger only does email if you set it up. I hacked together Ntfy notifications but that was one of the more difficult things I’ve ever figured out. It’s possible, though.

I love MikroTik, but I don’t think it meets OP’s needs. RouterOS isn’t beginner friendly.

Why so little sleep?

Meh, I have a crap ton of smart home stuff and zero of it relies on the cloud. I think I only have one switch that even has the ability to “phone home” and I’ve blocked its access to the internet. It’s like anything else, you just have to be smart about what you buy, and the good stuff has a higher learning curve.

Man, I used to LOVE defragmenting drives. I felt like I was actually doing something productive, and I just got to sit back and watch the magic happen.

Now I know better.

Yeah, both are fine. I switched away from KeePass because I was using Dropbox to take care of device sync, and it just didn’t feel right. Switching to Bitwarden was awesome for me because I self host it (Vaultwarden). It’s only accessible inside my home network, so mobile devices use a cached copy. If I need to add a new entry while away from home I can connect via VPN.

You can eference the outer edges for a satisfying before/after.

Use a password manager. Bitwarden has a specific “Card” entry type.

I think it’s because people are still uncomfortable answering “atheist” on questionnaires and polls. It’s easier to say “no religious affiliation”, and most people are probably agnostic instead of atheist anyway.

I doubt they’d mark non-dangerous, buried by the lowest bidder, no paperwork fiber cables. But you never know.

I wholeheartedly agree. These are not the class of people to be vilifying.

Ehhhh, zoning is super important. Vilifying someone by calling them “rich homeowners” is pretty weak.

What’s Netflix? That thing I cancelled years ago?

Grocery delivery service sounds expensive… but I don’t know where you live.

I was going to recommend never keeping a balance in Venmo or the like, but understand sometimes waiting a few days for it to transfer to your bank can make things difficult.
