You can store Passkeys in open source password managers.

I don't know most of my passwords, so the step to passkeys doesn't feel like a big one. I also really like the flow of pressing Login; Bitwarden pops up a prompt without me initiating it; I press confirm. Done, logged in, and arguably more secure due to the surrounding phishing and shared secrets benefits.

We host most stuff at home, and then additionally some services at Hetzner on an (auctioned) root server. Bloody nice to get really good hardware for cheap, plus unlimited data with either 1 or 10Gbit synchronous network speed, a dedicated IPv4,...

Stuff like my mail server lives there because it HAS to be available, and doing it at home, and doing it well, is next to impossible.

I'm planning a nix hydra + cache server, which will probably also live on the Hetzner server, simply because it'll have pretty intense jobs to run a lot of the time and I'm not a fan of having the noise of spun-up fans at home.

Both solutions have their place, is what I'm saying / agreeing.

• every VM with state backs up its state to the NAS once a day
• client devices rsync most of their home folder to the NAS once an hour
• at 3:15 in the morning, a Borg backup job starts pushing the days changes to a Hetzner storage box

Through borg, I have the Option to go back to any point in time with the backups. I will probably never need this, hence why it happens in this step, not on the rsync job to the NAS.

Things like movies and tv shows are not backed up, they are replaceable. All in all, about 2tb of documents, pictures, and VM state is backed up to Hetzner, out of the 16tb on the NAS.

Pick and choose your battles.

No

I have not opened my SMS app in years.

But that actually is an asshole move then. Because a lot of emotional attachment and memories can be in a chat.

Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.

FWIW, I went to school in mid-2000. My sibling even later. They still taught it back then, and at least here, I am pretty sure they still do. (And why would they not, after all...)

Literally noone I know in real life has any problem whatsoever reading analog clocks, no matter the "brain capacity", neuro-typicality, state of drunkenness,... It is an extremely simple "skill".

Yeah, vibe of the time is a good description

Because it's not! Glad to help you clear that up.

Disagree - it rarely matters to me if it's 13:24:56 or 13:25:05, but I do find the instant and intuitive gauging of time deltas super useful (as in, how long it's going to be to the full hour / to quarter past / ... ). Not saying you can't get that info from a digital clock as well, of course you can; but the physicality of analog clocks lends a good bit of intuition to this, I feel.
