I was probably exaggerating when I said 50.

I just counted the icons on my dash. 42.

“Backups?”

I tried Proxmox but found it way overkill for home use. I run ~50 Docker containers and I love Docker for its ease of use. Proxmox is an order of magnitude more complicated.

This, in combination with ‘copyparty’ as a Docker container with a volume mapping to my files. Edit locally, and edit from anywhere.

I use a variety of laptops with their built-in keyboards, and sometimes with a variety of plain usb keyboards.

It’s easy to run an AHK script on each machine, just for me. It’s not feasible to carry a special keyboard around.

Among my primary uses is completely remapping the keyboard layout, from scan codes to international Colemak (like Dvorak but different).

That means my script captures every alpha keystroke and sends something else instead.

AHK is marvelous to run on otherwise locked-down corporate computers.

While I’m at it, my AHK also tracks typing stats, just for fun.

I wonder how hard it might be to build something like AHK for Linux.

I’m a big fan of AHK myself, and my small scripts would be a real gap when I finally manage to kick Windows out.

I hate products with generic names. It makes it utterly impossible to search for.

Even if this OP post might explain it, it is still useless when taken out of context like in the esteemed comment above this one.

/rant, sorry, thank you.

Hah, yes that’s also how I remember my childhood. But I never was good at it, though I became a good software project manager instead which works well for me using Claude now. I count that as a win.

Hey friend, don’t undersell yourself. You do possess the intelligence, but maybe just not the skills.

Will ja kein Spielverderber sein, aber ich glaube eher es ist nicht Absicht. Asbest ist ein Steinprodukt und es wäre durchaus möglich, dass die Sandproduktion einfach nicht mit reinem Quarz arbeitet.

Ist natürlich trotzdem schädlich und muss vermieden werden, klar! Muss aber nicht zwingend mutwillig verursacht sein.

Yes that was poorly worded. Replace “except for” with “besides” and it’s fine.

alias l=“ls -al”
alias cd… =“cd …”
alias cd. =“cd …”

I’m a monster.

What a clever name!

You se knowledgeable on this, so I hope you’ll allow me to ask this.

I don’t know anything about Discord, but I selfhost the Mattermost chat system for my family. They, too, are narrowing the free tier.

Can Matrix replace Mattermost for a family? Several separate “rooms” for various topics, plus 1-to-1 chats.

I agree, but let’s take ‘mv’ as an example. Works fine for single files, but if you want to move an entire directory, then ‘rsync’ is better - if you know how to use it, which, again, I don’t.

Command line is always faster than GUI - but only if you know all the commands and parameters.

Which is why I either spend ages hunting in the GUI, or ask some AI for a quick command without even understanding it.

It is selfhosting when YOU set it up and CONTROL it.

Doesn’t matter what machine it runs on. Not everyone has the option of running a machine at home.
