Yeah fair.

It's also kinda a fuzzy area, because some of their code is open source, but not all.
\ And iirc they're partly funded by the folks who make trueNAS, but supporting a project supported by open-source folks isn't the same as supporting open-source folks themselves.

I figured it toss it out there anyways though.

Cage of Souls - Adrian Tchaikovsky
\ Goodreads

Set in the (presumably) distant future earth where the sun is dying and humanity has pretty much given up about it, it is a story about one man's time in an isolated prison / penal colony, and how he got there. At least so far that's what it has been about.

I really like this author's sci-fi books, but disliked his fantasy books, and this one kinda blurs the edges between the two. So far I've liked it.

Not practical advice, but since you're throwing out alternatives, one that I've had my eye on is hexOS.
\ It's a trueNAS scale (fork?) by a bunch of ex-unraid devs with the goal of making trueNAS as easy as unraid.

It still has a few more months of beta, though, so I haven't tried it. Also, like unraid, it has a paywall.

For some reason I didn't read the title from left to right, I read random words first. The first word i read was D&D, but I misread it.

I was trying to figure out what exactly a witchy gothic DNS was, and how I could get one too.

Well basically, people pay you to do math.
\ Hope that helped

Yes.

People who who either like it, or who want to earn more than the UBI.

That's good, if at least one surviving synced device survives then you still have access. Still a big "if" in a catastrophe, but a much better proposition.

What is the data retention policy for the local vaults?

Thanks for your useful and actionable feedback that clearly explains the problem. So trustworthy /s

No, my problem is that I need my password manager to access my backup, and I need my backup to get my password manager.

Do we work at the same place? Lol

I totally get you, despite some pedantic disagreement about what "spam" means. I'm in the same boat a bit.
\ I'm embarrassed to admit that I've kinda leaned into it in the sense that "if they're gonna make us use it, then I want to be in a position to steer the direction". While I discourage its use and preach to people about it's evils, I also try to improve the AI tools and processes that we're using. That probably makes me part of the problem, but it relieves a bit of the pressure of how shit it is day to day.

I'm actually kinda bearish on AI.
\ Or rather I think that either it's a bubble that will pop, or before too long it's gonna cause a global depression. Maybe a bit of paranoia and doomerism.

Do you count "gave an old person COVID and they died"? Then absolutely for sure.

I don't trust my setup for something like this.

My server and NAS go down in a fire, and I'm not gonna have the key I need to get the backup so I can restore my password manager lol

Yes regarding welfare and snap, but not regrading things like healthcare assistance programs.

I think that's ok

I also think that it'll probably be a lower amount of moochers than you expect; they'll want to work, but it'll be doing things that our current society doesn't recognize as work, or work of value.
\ It'll be things like philosophy, art, poetry, tinkering, etc, which actually make life better for people but are difficult to turn into a profitable business.

I'm gonna pick up a few of these I think.

That NoteDicovery looks pretty slick. Its exactly what I was looking for a few months ago, and I'd absolutely pick it up if I didn't just fall in love with the silverbullet's ability to execute code embedded directly in the markdown; a feature that I expect to use almost never, but atotally smitten with.

As a side note, all these email archiving projects almost do something I want, maybe folks here can help me:
\ I've heard that self-hosting email is not worth the pain, but I also don't want to leave my email history in the hands of these megacorps I don't trust. These archive projects solve that problem, but they're not email clients. I don't want to archive and delete an email just to find out actually I need to reply to it like a month later.
\ What do you recommend for this usecase?

• Ain't nothing but a mistake
• ain't nothing but a heartache
• I never wanna hear you [say]

Which intersection gets which of those?
