Folks that rent an Airbnb are often wanting more than a boring room (full kitchen, yard, washer/dryer), which is still without a doubt vastly cheaper than any hotel.

Sure there are shitty hosts with ridiculous rules, but those are things you should be researching in advance to paying.

I have stayed at Airbnbs across 4 states and four countries; other than one of them being cancelled due to plumbing issues, we have not had a single problem and each time it was far cheaper (~40%) and had more options than hotels.

Rabbits would be proud!

What kind of patch cables are you using here?

Really hope we see more privacy features like this; I never liked that profiles display so much information publicly without option to disable it.

One of the first should be saved posts- not sure why that was public in the first place.

Requiring accounts with X days or X karma lead to subs where people would literally post just to get upvotes and the creation of bot accounts.

This is awesome! Did you install the censors in the breaker box?

It averages $25 per month - which is hosting 16tb of storage (running 1tb nVME parity and 3x 8tb HDD) to host 5x Virtual Machines and 33x Docker Containers (which includes MariaDB, Postgres, InfluxDB, and Redis containers that receive a good amount of traffic), and a lot of the storage used for media/photo storage/consumption.

With cloud storage, I was hitting $70/month and that was without having all the backups of photos/media that I now have running on the home server.

I run a UPS for my home server and have Telegraf collect metrics, which I then feed into Grafana (via influxdb) to create a dashboard that uses my local kWph pricing to plot daily/monthly/quarterly/annual costs to run the server.

It might not be super helpful for some, but it’s helped me justify hosting applications at home with NAS instead of paying for cloud hosting

Example of the Dashboard:

One of the things I’ve enjoyed about lemmy; posts/comments feel far more engaging and don’t get drowned in thousands of comments that often don’t contribute much if anything.

Freedom units!

When a vulnerability at this level happens and a patch is created, visibility is exactly what you need.

It is the reason CVE sites exist and why so many organizations have their own (e.g. Atlassian, SalesForce/Tableau )

It is also why those CVE will be on the front page of sites like https://news.ycombinator.com to ensure folks are aware and taking precautions.

Organizations that do not report or highlight such critical vulnerabilities are only hurting their users.

If you go to your profile, there is a setting to turn it private; after that you should have an option on your posts to keep them private or public

I wish there was a simpler way to keep PixelFed private; I get that there is a lot of focus on the fediverse, but this can also serve as a private image/video sharing platform for close friends and family.

Being public by default creates a blocker for the average person joining it.

Insurance companies are a new level of evil; they fight both the person and the hospitals to pay as little as they can; their practices are in large part what drove hospital billing to be what it is.

Sure, but then I doubt anyone will be coming after you for patents

100% agree here. As someone who has worked in medical billing, unless it’s a small private practice (in which case it would not apply here), the doctors don’t give a shit about you paying the bill.

There is a whole department of people who specialize in nickel and diming every possible thing that was with range of you, at a markup that would make any decent person blush.

Then that money goes to the hospital to turn an insane profit.

Patent laws aside, having a printer big enough to print a vehicle or even parts of a vehicle to assemble would not be cheap.

Then you would have to go through the hoops of getting the vehicle certified as road safe to even drive it on public roads.

So having the machinery to print it, the resources to print it, the know how to assemble it, and the procedures to have it certified as road safe, would be enough of a barrier before folks would be concerned with patents.
