I'm not complaining, but backup/restore is important part, with 100% test coverage and daily backup/restore runs.
Sublime for Markdown/notes, etc.
Trying to use Visual Studio Code instead of PyCharm, but it's not yet ready to fully replace PyCharm.
brew install mpv 1. Mini PC[1] running as a router (pfSense);
2. eero to handle the wifi.
Why? I've tried many times to use dd-wrt, openwrt and tomato firmwares on my routers, but every time I failed miserably: it's either something stops working, or I need to schedule routers reboots and so. So I gave up. Since that time, mini pc [1] is the third system which routes my traffic, acts as VPN gateway, proxy server and so on on my home network and I've never been happier. With eero I've got even better coverage comparing to the previous Airport Express.[1]: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Latest-windows-8-mini-pc-min...
Will say that "correct horse battery staple" isn't secure password and will give it a score of 0/100. While "123!" will get 66/100 and will get accepted.
And this is control panel used by many hosting companies. :)
I always come to conclusion that either I have to host mail for myself, or use Google Apps.
I can't trust Microsoft to host my email, nor I want to trust Rackspace (for some odd reason, two feedbacks I received were from people who had negative experiences with them). Zoho is nice choise, but they had multi-week outage year or two ago, with somewhat unclear notification to users.
Fastmail was always second choice, because it was more expensive for amount of mail I have now, which will need to be stored on their servers.
Also, as I'll be hosting email for family, I calculate for 5 accounts.
Google Apps came out to 25/month.
Self-hosting option came out to one Linode machine, plus one other VPS provider machine located in different location for backup MX. That came out to 15/month.
Fastmail was more expensive at the time (was I looking at business account for some reason?), but their pricing page -- https://www.fastmail.com/pricing/ -- shows that they are same price as Google. Can't seem to find their multi-year discount information.

for me github, twitter, seamless and many other down. looks like it's dyndns related, as it doesn't respond.
Google's public DNS isn't responding to them, but opendns (208.67.222.222) helps here.
- on time performance (I'm yet to leave bus stop in the morning on-time after about 10 years -- bus is always late); - less traffic in the bus terminal, where drives always make wrong assumption and create traffic where it could have been avoided; - safer commute (not that it isn't safe enough now, but there are drivers who prefer driving way too fast).
Oh well, this is only dreams.
So now my answer is self-hosted Gitlab.
After long time researching, I've decided to use $2/month plan on cloudns.net for primary DNS, and secondary at dns.he.net.
As to Siri - I use it slightly more:
- tell my wife I'm on my way.
- ask my wife what to buy in the grocery store.
- wake me up tomorrow at 5am
- delete all alarms
and many many more.To sum up: since I don't use Google much, Echo is mostly useless to me. I can't do much with it, and getting mostly "Sorry I could not understand your question."
But for me it's too late.
Only wish list I have -- allow ZFS on root with zraid. Hope, it's possible in the future.
But if I'd be tied in into Amazon's cloud infrastructure, I would have to use many of their features going against my rules above.
