And file away your scanned papers separately

This^. No matter how many layers of backups I have for paperless, I’m still keeping the most important physical documents in a file cabinet.

I’m not sure exactly what you are looking for but here is my workflow:

1. Laptop - This is where I do most of the uploading to paperless. When I get an important document over email, buy something online that’s expensive enough for me to want to save the receipt, or buy something that comes with a digital manual, I download the PDF and upload the document to paperless in the browser.

2. Phone - I have an iPhone and use Swift Paperless to upload physical mail, physical receipts, or physical manuals I can’t find online.

I know I can set up Paperless to pull documents from my email automatically but it’s not very good at guessing the tags and correspondents in my experience, and because it’s not good at guessing the correspondents and tags, I have to manually edit the documents anyway so I might as well upload them myself. I’ve just got into the habit of getting a document, knowing I might want to view it later, and upload it right then or later that day. The built in OCR works great.

Edit: Oh, my behavior has changed a little because of paperless too. I now ask everyone for a receipt, email confirmations when talking with customer service, or if I’m dealing with a business that only hands me paper documents, I ask them to email them to me too. I’m pretty annoying about it. Basically, if the transaction is important enough to me, it doesn’t end until I get proof that I can upload to paperless.

So who redraws them and who gave them the right?

Who ever is in power at the time unfortunately. California and Texas have both been in the news over redrawing their districts recently to give themselves an advantage. Each side gerrymanders so they won’t agree to abolish it.

And why does it always seem Republicans always wanting to do it?

There’s a bunch of factors but if I had to choose one reason, it boils down to low voter turnout. In the example I gave above, imagine that the 100 voters in each district was less than half of the eligible registered voters in each district.

Gerrymandering doesn’t mean you automatically win, it just means you have an advantage. If a district has a lot of swing voters or higher voter turnout than usual, it can work against the party in power that redrew the lines.

Let’s say you have 2 districts (A & B) that border each other. And let’s say each district has 100 voters:

A. 90 R & 10 D
B. 45 R & 55 D

R & D tied. 1 district each.

If R wants to win both, they redraw the line to give district B some of district A’s voters:

A. 70 R & 30 D
B. 65 R & 35 D

R just won both districts due to gerrymandering

Oh got it. Thanks!

How does Hetzner work? I just looked at their storage box prices, and it seems too good to be true? €40/mo for 20TB. And they break it down to €0.0651/hr. Does that mean I could run the backups only when needed and pay less than €40/mo?

I have a NAS with a couple of SSDs configured in a ZFS mirror that backs up to a Raid Z2 storage pool on the same NAS. Again, on that NAS, I run Paperless-ngx in a docker container. Finally, I use the iOS app Swift Paperless to upload documents to Paperless-ngx. All done over Tailscale.

My load bearing NAS has a lot of redundancy but no offsite backups so I still keep some important documents in the cloud. I’m saving up for another NAS that I can keep at a family members house but prices are insane right now :/

If you can follow the 3-2-1 storage rule without using the cloud, that’s awesome. However, the upfront cost can be expensive depending on how much you are storing. Just do the best you can using whatever you have available to you, even if that means using iCloud as part of your setup.

I agree. I’ve got a 9060XT 16GB card running some version of gpt-oss:20b. I understand how to program more or less but I do it so infrequently that I forget the syntax of whatever language I’m working in. It’s ability to spit out boiler plate code that I can edit for my needs has been a huge time saver and I’m extremely happy with my setup.

These posts do more to make me not want to use GrapheneOS than any other person or entity. This has got to be a psyop. I refuse to believe any one can possibly be this much of a bitch.

Make your OS and rest on its merits instead of crying about it 🤷‍♂️

Is it already time for the lead GrapheneOS developer’s annual crash out? Where do the years go?

The house I bought had one of these installed already. Works great with the homeassistant ZWA-2 antenna.

That’s unacceptable and infuriating. I started going to my wife’s appointments because of shit like this. I don’t know if it’s because my wife wasn’t advocating enough for herself or if the doctor was shitty but all I do is sit there and repeat my wife’s concerns in different words when I think I need to. If I’m not satisfied with an answer, I just keep asking questions. She’s getting the care she deserves now.

This is coming from a good place and I don’t mean any disrespect but it sounds like your wife needs a mammogram. Do something about it; you only have each other.

After COVID, I forget common words in the middle of speaking now which has been fucking fantastic in work environments.

“Hey can you hand me that…um…uh….that piece of paper for coffee grounds?”

“A filter?”

“Yeah that”

No, you actually caught be at the perfect time, the transfer to my temporary pool is almost done. I was just curious how inheritance worked on a pool but after giving it some thought, your recommendation makes more sense; turn it on when I know I need it vs turn it off when I know I don’t. Thanks for the advice.

Let’s say I did turn on compression on root. I can’t then turn it off on a per file system basis where it isn’t needed?

Yeah I’m not excited about the write and rebuild times being slower but the read times should still be pretty good. Considering I don’t have any more space for drives in my server and I don’t know how crazy hdd drive prices will get in the next 12 months, the guaranteed 2 drive failure resiliency is more important to me at the moment. My current 1 drive failure resiliency, 2 if I’m lucky, has me worried. My backups are on shucked drives and I don’t want to be put in a situation where I have to rely on them to restore 😅

Thank you for this

I’ll look into it, thanks.

I’m still in the information gathering phase. Do you know if the element client works with the continuwuity server? Is it as easy as entering the domain, user, and password in the client?

Out of curiosity, what makes it better?

A quick search says it’s a package manger for kubernetes. Besides plex, everything I selfhost is just for me. Would you say helm/kubernetes is worth looking into for a hobbyist who doesn’t work in the tech field?
