It's not about user-led synergy. The personal data market is slurped up by those that already have and are building correlations. Just because a user didn't report anything to their insurer doesn't mean an insurer sure as shit isn't going to want the data if they can link it to the user whatsoever, so long as it will make them more money.

This is hypothetical, of course, but it's the way the market of data brokers works.

You joke, but I guarantee there's a market. Consider health insurance companies that see an opportunity to charge everyone more unless they can prove their good brushing habits via app data.

Options are great, this is what drives the Linux community to come up with great solutions!

That said... Kate is an easy winner for me.

A fatalist take like this doesn't help anyone. Do you lock your doors at night even though you're not be continuously robbed? It's always worth it to try and protect yourself.

What's yours then?! Sounds like something a fed would say...

Also your mother's maiden name and the name of your elementary school.

Yes! Qsl cards are very much still alive and well. Some traditions will never die. The special event stations are fun to get cards from.

Super cool anecdote on the telescope thing, I've never heard of that.

I hope you get back on the radio, it's a great hobby. It's a nice stress relief outlet for me these days too.

Love to hear things like that! When I first got licensed the solar cycle was utter trash. We're past the peak now, but band conditions are still pretty good generally. A few watts and a wire will still get you somewhere with CW and some other forward error corrected modes (like FT8). I have a lot of fun with the digital stuff like AREDN, but it's definitely a different ball game and the old school SSB-based radio still has its place in my heart.

False positive what? I didn't give any specific examples of alerts, just simply monitoring metrics. Are you referring to the note on the Dnsmasq memory leak?

 
 

This one is less focused on self-hosting a homelab service, but I thought might be interesting for the homelabbers here. I got into this hobby through my career in cybersecurity, and decided to write up a little post about a tool I frequently use, mitmproxy!

If you've followed any of my self-hosted headscale with Podman series, I wrote up another "bonus" post talking about OIDC configuration with Authelia. Took some trial and error, so I figured I'd document it in the public notebook.

Another post in the records for the tech blog, this time all about opensource network monitoring with LibreNMS!

For those that were interested in my PART 1 post of the Grafana Loki OPNSense firewall log monitoring, I present you: PART 2! This one is the good one (albeit less technical) where we get the eye candy after getting the log ingestion pipeline already setup in part 1.

My first blog series on headscale with traefik through podman quadlets was pretty well received on here. I'm just getting started with this blog, and thought the second topic I recently worked on might be popular in this crowd too: a lower resource method of centralizing logs for OPNSense with Grafana Loki (and Alloy) including geoIP!

About a month ago I switched from Google Fi to Mint Mobile. I figured since they were both T-Mobile MVNOs the service would the same, and it was a way for me to move away from the Google Fi app requirement, and this the play services requirement on my graphene pixel 8 pro. Everything initially seemed to be working great, then I realized I only ever have LTE. I've tried all the APN settings, auto discovered, manually configured in accordance with the mint documentation, and the T-Mobile APN. They all give me good service, but only ever LTE. Previously on both T-Mobile and Fi, on the same cell towers, I had 5g, so I know it's not a service issue. Mint support is the worst thing I've ever encountered in my life and they're useless as far as troubleshooting. Notably, the other phone on the plan is a stock pixel 7 pro and has the same issue, so I think it's a provisioning issue not a graphene issue, but I figured I'd ask the crowd here because of the general level of aptitude.
