If you have the background and get the right head hunter, you can get sponsored for your TS/SCI. I used to work for a place…

I will tell you, however, that working in a SCIF is not as awesome as it looks on TV.

Borg for local data backups to backup share on nas. Proxmox takes guest snapshots. Rclone all of that to rsync.net. bonus, Borg can use the rcloned remote, if necessary, directly.

Ansible?

I used to buy used CDs and rip them myself. So I have my own collection. But to discover new music and listen to things I may not wish to own, streaming is the best option.

The solution? A plex server with a music library that points to your own collection. Then get a Tidal subscription through Plex. You then add Tidal music to your own library as if you were downloading or ripping it yourself. Listen with plexamp on a phone connected via bluetooth, or just use plex client on your shield, roku, firestick, etc.

Now you can listen to things both locally and streamed seamlessly. You can do artist radio to discover new music and manage smart playlists on the plex server itself.

If you are hosting your own mail server, a procmail recipe shouldn’t be too difficult. I run mimedefang, so could do it there too, but that’s a whole lot of overkill if you don’t already have that.

Programming languages that use white space to delimit structure are annoying at best. I get annoyed at yaml too, but I’m ok once I have a few templates set up.

Plex with a Tidal subscription. Treats tidal as if it is local in your library and seamlessly integrates with your own collection.

Listen with plexamp.

I don’t like lxc containers, and my build automation works well at the full system level vs containers.

Running your services bare metal these days is insane. If I have a problem, I just restore or rebuild that purpose-built vm from configuration management. This is also a lot more flexible and cost effective vs having separate hardware for each thing.

Redundancy is also easier, should I decide it is worth the hardware investment.

I run proxmox on a System76 Thelio. ZFS mirror, 16 cores, 64GB. Synology NAS for data storage and backup. Dual NICs bonded with ovs for the VMs. The onboard NIC for connecting to proxmox itself. One of the VMs then rclones the backup share to rsync.net

One of the VMs is Plex/Sonarr/Radarr/Transmission. Media is stored via NFS to the NAS.

The new NIST guidance is to have something long. Special characters don’t matter. So a good passphrase that you can remember > short line noise. NIST also recommends against constant password rotation, but to instead audit for dictionary attacks. See also: https://www.netsec.news/summary-of-the-nist-password-recommendations-for-2021/

Yes, it is bad programming. Of course, on the backend you must never store passwords in the clear. You should never grow your own hashing algorithm.

A 1:1 NAT to the other network usually solves it for me.

routing. On wireless, however, some devices are really stupid and can only talk to things on their own subnet. To address that, I use NAT on the IoT vlan to the real device on the private side.

Venmo me a dollar.

That would be caldav, not imap I think.

I divorced from Google and host my own with radicale. On Android I sync with Davx. On desktop thunderbird.

The problem is that HTML was not designed to be a layout description. Your browser was to decide.

So, to force HTML to be a layout description rather than simple markup, we have this mess.

HTML != TeX

Use a lemmynsfw login for porn and block nsfw on your main account.

And a lot of the best options per category are at the bottom of the list.

All smart tvs suck. Buy based on picture quality and use a separate box for your streaming.
