Back in the day I used Nagios to get an overview of large systems, and it made it very obvious if something wasn’t working and where. But that was 20 years ago, I’m sure there are more modern approaches.

Come to think of it, at work we have grafana running, but I’m not sure exactly what scope it’s operating under.

I forgot the name, but someone in this thread mentioned an online service where you generate payment cards that allows you to pay for stuff with more privacy.

It certainly does. Which do you use?

Kagi.com - excellent search engine. Yes, it shouldn’t be needed, but in this day and age it clearly is. Excellent slop filter, and it let’s you downrank and uprank certain sites in your search results. And I just found out you can see the most popular sites for each category, so it’s fast and easy to see which sites probably are and aren’t worth having in your results at all. It makes internet search feel like it did 20 years ago.

Namecheap.com - It’s where I have my domain names. Mostly because they aren’t godaddy.

EDIT: Forgot to mention hetzner.

40s. Saw Lemmy mentioned on Reddit around the time of the API debacle. It became clear to me that reddit would not be usable in the long run, as it is unusable without 3rd party clients.

Upon checking Lemmy out, it reminded me of the kind of internet I hadn’t seen in ages, so I stayed.

Not that strange. Different users may belong to different groups which may have different authentication backends. The associated authentication method is brought up once a username has been provided.

Barring any hardware issues or external factors, will it run for 10000 years? Any logs not properly rotated? And other outputs accumulating and eventually filling up a filesystem?

Sounds more like what you need is a combination of a VPN and RDP. Have your machines connect to somewhere via whichever VPN protocol you prefer, and then you can access them via whichever protocol you prefer.

I’m old and crusty, so I mostly use openvpn, but wireguard will probably do as well.

Ben, is that you?

EDIT: Nope, you said “accidentally”

I’d trade 90’s computer skills for 90’s social skills. Because 90’s social skills are relevant today, while it’s been a while since I’ve had to resolve IRQ conflicts via jumpers. And switches no longer have a Chasey Lain daisy chain port thanks to multiplexing.

Only slightly

The humor here is lost on me

Looks like an URL matcher of some sorts, not limited to HTTP. Kudos for handling parentheses as valid URL characters.

Correct. My autocorrect has a tendency of negating any statement I make, for some reason. Don’t -> do, etc

I’m all for it, provided Elon, Jeff, or any other tech bros aren’t involved.

My previous car was also a Volvo. A 940 tank from 1995.

Volvo XC90 T8. I don’t want any other car; It’s great under scandinavian winter conditions, my entire family fits, and it’s genuinely a nice car without being too flashy.

It’s fine, but it’s mandatory that you start playing the bass

Before going by Grace, how often did she hear jokes about Lewd Dong?
