Convenience beats owning things. 99.999% of non-techies I’ve talked to do not want to manage their computer or media. They don’t want to learn how things work or how to fix them. The video says it, “… it took away the burden of ownership.”

I can’t even convince them to use my seedbox to torrent media—heck I’ve even offered that I’ll do all the work, they just have to access Jellyfin! But, no. They prefer to pay to get access to the media now instead of messaging me, waiting for me to get the media, and then watching it.

At the same time, they’ll complain that “everything is a subscription now!” I’m like bro…

Holy moly, I did not know this existed! Thanks! Just turned this on!

Any resources you’d recommend?

I suspect that it goes down and stays down whenever there is an app update, but I haven’t confirmed it yet.

Does the plain wireguard app stay up during updates?

if the cameras don’t load, open Tailscale and make sure it’s connected

I’ve been using Tailscale for a few months now and this is my only complaint. On Android and macOS, the Tailscale client gets randomly killed. So it’s an extra thing you have to manage.

It’s almost annoying enough to make me want to host my services on the actual internet… almost… but not yet.

One time, I was at a concert at a small-ish venue. I went to see a popular-ish band that I like, place was packed. The band started like 30-45 minutes late. When they finally got on stage, I happened to yell out during a brief pause, “Finally! We’ve been waiting forever!”

No one said anything and the show kept moving—but immediately after I yelled that the girl in front of me turned around and gave me a huge scowling look, like she was super embarrassed for me, like I had just done something really awful.

That look has stuck with me ever since.

Seems like these guys: https://nubo.coop/en/

They provide email, calendar, contacts, and cloud storage.

On their mission statement page they explicitly have:

not seeking to enrich shareholders

I’ve had two car break-ins.

The first time, I couldn’t even reach a human. The machine on the phone line told me to file a police report online. It was like, name, date, what happened, upload picture, send. Never heard anything back.

The second time, I went to the police station and—was told to file a police report online… same as last time. Nothing happened.

Interesting. I’m saving this for later.

unless you regularly haul things, you don’t need a truck of any size. Unless you regularly go off-road or are transporting 5+ people and a dog or more, you don’t need an SUV. You can rent one of those for the rare times you need it!

Maybe… but why not go further?

Unless you regularly transport more than 1 person, you don’t need a car. You can rent one of those for the rare times you need it!

Buy a motorcycle or bike instead?

I definitely hear “hotcakes” in Mexico City. Ironically, we say “panqueques” in US Spanish.

panqueques

Interesting. In US Spanish, we also call them “panqueques”. However, when I go to Mexico, I hear people call them “hotcakes” (in English).

Yay! Good job. Keep going!

Neat. I’ve been getting more curious about WebDAV recently. Also, great website! Thanks for posting!

Voyager has been pretty decent for me.

Honestly, each parent should have 6 mo of paid leave.

Heck yes. 12 weeks is nothing. The baby still needs a ton of help at this stage.

Most men are hard working and want to support their families

… which is exactly why you should take paternity leave and support your family, instead of abandoning them for 8 hours a day at work. I’d feel like a total asshole if I just took off and said, “Good luck with the baby, honey. I’m gonna go hang out with my friends at work.”

Huh, cool.
