I’m sorry if I’ve insulted someone. I’ll up the bitrate next time I’m doing an export 🙂

I was under the impression opus was much better at the lower bitrates than the more common codecs.

Can you actually hear the difference between 128 and 256kbps on the devices you are listening on?

I have a tendency to want “the best”, but have rarely actually needed “the best”. I export my lossless FLAC music collection to much lower bitrate opus files, which I can then access from my VPS. The switch to opus makes the space requirements for the VPS drastically cheaper. Going with the lower bitrate might make things easier for you.

One of my favorite sayings, which I rarely follow myself, is: Perfect is the enemy of good.

This.

I am quite tech savvy, and I have been using 1password for years.

Damn you! Just shook my 8 Pro. Something rattling in there too. I never noticed it before!

Ok, then. What about an ant shaped crabeater?

You and me both.

My SO did not, though. So we compromised and bought one with flowers.

Duck.

At least that’s what my autocorrect believes is my favorite four letter word 😂

They were also common here in Denmark. I remember using them in school.

I think the box does an excellent job of proving that OP can do woodworking :D

Good example.

In a similar vein: setup alarms. Smoke detectors is an easy one, but also water leakage detectors. If feeling adventurous, maybe logging of water/power usage as well to catch slow leaks.

I was going to say heavy water, but TIL that it’s not just chonky water. It can be toxic.

I do selfhost everything I can, but have chosen not to do that with my passwords. It feels to much all-eggs-in-one-basket-y.

1Password also holds my SSH keys and acts as an ssh-agent on most systems, and I also just found out that you can get secrets from your 1Password vault in Python, which means my PyInfra scripts can use it as well.

I pay for a 1Password family account. I like it.

Getting the family to use it is hard, but that would be the case with any password manager.

It was you! :D

I once saw a guy slip and fall on a banana-peel. He just stared at it for a good 30 seconds in disbelief before getting up.

As soon as someone else has access to the hardware, assume someone else has access to the data. Depending on your threat model this might be acceptable. If you just don’t want <INSERT GENERIC EVIL BILLIONAIRE> snooping, I’d say a VPS is a perfectly valid solution.

I use a dedicated server, but in this regard it is similar to a VPS, and I carefully consider what kind of data I put on it. I wouldn’t put very private data on there. Simply because I see no need for it to be there.

Don’t worry. You’re not seeing yourself above others, you’re just only seeing yourself.

Depression is one answer. Anhedonia is another. Not having agency in ones life. War, starvation, malice, indifference.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy you are happy, but you sound like someone who have lived a sheltered, privileged life.
