After buying a $70 pair of Vans at famous footwear and having them literally fall apart after using them as daily walking shoes, I’ve realized the quality of shoes overall has gone down over the last decade or so....
I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?
Arguably, I find automations make a smart home truly smart rather than perks like voice control do. What are your favourite automations running at home?
I have A LOT of automations. Some of my favorites are:
Automatically set "house state" (morning, day, evening, night, not home, etc.") based on alarm state, time of day, last movement, etc - this state controls a lot of other automations
Push message to my phone if outside camera detect a person when house state is "night" or "not home" (using Frigate for object detection)
Automatically turn off lights at night or when not home. Automatically set lights to right level when home
Push message when window has been open for more than 20 minutes.
Push message if windows or doors are open when leaving the house or at night
Push message with "morning update" and "evening update". Including today's weather, if I should sell some stocks as price has reached threshold, etc.
Basically, I no longer has to remember to turn on of off lights and if I forget something important in the house (such as an open window or turning on the alarm), it reminds me to do so (if it can't do it itself)
It was great and went way beyond expectations. I started aiming for a pace of 5:15 minutes/km, but about half way, I decided to increase pace to about 5:05 so I could hit the 5:10 average (which I did).
I've signed up for Copenhagen Half Marathon in September and this was my first full distance trial to test out my fitness, form on the distance and preparation strategy (carb loading, hydration, etc.) and get an idea of the right pacing.
Based on this trial, my goal will be <5:00 per km (i.e. 1h 45 m). This should be achievable with 10 weeks of training and as the race route has much less hills (i.e. is flatter and thus faster).

What would you do if you were a disembodied consciousness (like a ghost)?
For a start, floating might be really fun, but what else might you get up to?

What to Look for in a NAS?
This week I finished setting up Arch Linux (It felt so good to nuke Windows 11 off my laptop!) and GrapheneOS for my new Pixel phone....
Would something like /r/2westerneurope4u be allowed here?
For those who don’t know: It’s a subreddit where Europeans shit-talk other European countries and could be considered racist.

How do you guys back up your server?
I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?
Which kind of command/apps you always wanted to self-host but you never bothered doing so because it's "overkill"?
Title. Proxy managers and dashboards for me. The first one because “I’m not working on NASA lmao” and the second one, “It’s not minimal enough”.
