  • I have a relatively small setup, because of space and cooling constraints, but in that setup:

    • Generic server with a Xeon E5-2697 v2, kinda old but it’s still got 12c/24t, and 64 gigs of memory
    • Around 40TB of storage space, of which I’m using roughly 1%. I’m not even a datahoarder, I’m just a storage space hoarder.

    Everything I self host runs through Proxmox, either as a LXC container or as a RHEL 9 virtual machine. I also have a RasPi running Pi-Hole for ad blocking.




  • Or perhaps it was the hundredth time one of our software engineers had innocently pushed out an img tag with an empty src attribute. Nobody joining the team could be expected to know that in early versions of IE, the browser would load the root path “/” for empty src attributes. The img tag would suddenly behave like an iframe, loading our homepage and all of its dependent resources in what could become an exponentially expanding recursive loop.

    Amazing, the Trident engine really was something else. Also interesting, based on the web browser graph at the end, there were still people using IE6 in 2012, wild.






  • Bitwarden or KeePass as open source password managers. KeyPass is entirely local, unless you sync your password database on the cloud, and Bitwarden is cloud based but with the option to self host the server (I recommend Vaultwarden, it’s lighter and written in Rust).

    Joplin for note taking, especially if you use Markdown.

    KDE connect for sharing files quickly between desktop and mobile - it’s better than the proprietary fast share protocols I’ve tried.

    Termux, for shell access and running Linux distros, albeit heavily limited.

    Fritter as a Twitter client alternative, though I’m already avoiding Twitter for the most part.
