I have tried none of those that you mentioned, but over heard good things about SearX. Sorry that I can’t be more helpful.

I’m… not sure, I’d have to look that up. I only know that it was the only browser I found in my Linux distro repos that I was able to run on my Atom 2GB RAM netbook from 15 years ago.

How about Midori?

Also, the correct pronunciation for that Atlassian tool is “Gira”.

PSA: it’s acshully pronounced “Postgre-squirrel”.

Both not blank.

after hours

I’ve configured PAM to not let me login remotely after hours, because I just know that someday I’ll want to fix “just this tiny thing” and I’ll break production because I’m too tired. I clearly need protection from myself, and this is one slice in Dr.Reasons’s Swiss cheese model.

Don’t let the people drag you down, this happens to all of us.

Come on, he’s clearly a bug.

You can give an LLM (or any other ML tech for that matter) any task you’d like, as long as you don’t care that the results are wrong.

RIGHT in the feels -.-

A large banana the size of a small banana. Or roughly 1/27th of an eagle.

Of yes, I have! alias nfsmounts='mount | grep "nfs" | column'

At my job, we run goharbor.io and use its Replications feature to do just that.

Try goharbor.io, that’s what I use. I think (but I’m not sure) that Forgejo/Gitea and Gitlab can also cache images.

I have limited Python experience, but I always thought that’s what virtualenvs and requirements.txt files are for? When I used those, I found it easy enough to use.

Cloud-init. The config yaml is rather straight forward, but I can’t convince my VM to execute it, and it’s driving me nuts.

Good to hear! When you go with the National Archives UK, you can’t fail. They have some very, VERY competent people in staff over there, who are also quite active in the DigiPres community. They are also the inventors of DROID and the maintainers of the widely used PRONOM database of file formats. https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/PRONOM/Default.aspx Absolute heroes of Digital Preservation.

Yeah, you can always go crazy with (off site) copies. There’s a DigiPres software system literally called LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe).

The German Federal Office for Information Security recommends a distance of at least 200km between (professional) sites that keep georedundant copies of the same data/service, so depending on your upload capacity and your familiarity with encryption (ALWAYS backup your keys!), some cloud storage provider might even be a viable option to create a second site.

Spare drives do absolutely work as well, but remember that, depending on the distance, data there will get more or less outdated and you might not remember to refresh the hardware in a timely manner.

A safe deposit box is something that I hadn’t considered for my personal preservation needs yet, but sounds like a good idea as well.

Whatever you use, also remember to read back data from all copies regularly and recalculate checksums for fixity checks to make sure your data doesn’t get corrupted over time. Physical objects (like books) decay slowly over time, digital objects break more spontaneously and often catastrophically.
