I use NGINX because it’s what I’m familiar with. If I was starting again, I would probably use Caddy.

Using ‘hours of use’ as the metric, it would be Plex. The ones I use every day are Libreddit, TT-RSS, Huginn and Reddit-RSS - and my own journalling app and pocket clone.

Try a delivery test to an Outlook / Exchange server. I’ll be amazed if it goes through.

And episode 1 is currently free on Steam!

Such a fantastic book. It’s one of the few that I will read again and again.

I 100% agree here. Each instance should focus on a single topic. It makes no practical sense that there are multiple identical communities across different servers.

The screen on the scribe is beautiful. The lighting is uniform and the text is crisp. PDFs look amazing. It’s streets ahead of the Boox Note Air line in that respect.

Note-taking has got better since release, but it’s still rudimentary compared to dedicated note-taking devices. I’m sure that will continue to improve over time, but I’m just not sure that I want Amazon to have my notes.

Also, I discovered that I really don’t like writing on an artificially lit screen. It doesn’t feel as natural as writing on my RM2, which is closer to paper in feel and appearance.

The Detectorists is incredible. It’s my go to comfort watch.

Fair!

East Yorkshire.

PiVPN is great. Works on just as well on a standard server with Ubuntu.

All true. And RPIs aren’t even cheap anymore. It’s much more cost effective to buy a refurbished lease PC and get the extra processing power, expandability & reliable storage. I run everything on a HP elitedesk and it didn’t cost much over £150.

I’ve never understood why we don’t build more houses from timber.

Out of interest, did you get a reasonable scrap price?

I was talking to someone the other day that said they got nearly £1k for theirs. Last time I scrapped anything (years and years ago) I had to pay them to take it away because scrap prices were so low.

I am one of the few that didn’t get this book at all. I thought The Martian was fantastic, but was annoyed at myself for persevering to finish this one.

I read an amusing anecdote about him this morning:

When he was awarded the $236,000 MacArthur “genius” grant in 1981, he carried on cutting his own hair and preparing meals on a hot-plate. And he only ever signed 250 copies of his Pulitzer Prize-winning 2006 novel The Road, all of which he gave to his youngest son John. When the boy turns 18, McCarthy said, “he can sell them and go to Las Vegas or whatever”.

I enjoyed The Road. Couldn’t get on with any of his others though.

I’m relatively competent installing server software, but the Lemmy instructions completely flummoxed me. Their docker instructions just don’t work.

I ended up using the ansible docker scripts and filling out the blanks because I’m unfamiliar with ansible.

If this is as good as it sounds, you’re doing everyone a massive favour.

First I’ve heard of Boolwyrm. Looks neat!

I very slightly preferred the RM2 to the Supernote, mainly for the design of the device - but Supernote has the edge on available tools, and in engagement with the community. Both are great though.

I considered buying another Supernote, but I can’t justify the cost.

Wallabag is what most people recommend, but I couldn’t get on with it.
