You can’t change your IP with your own VPN server, you have to go through a third party VPN or proxy

It doesn’t matter as you’re encrypting your cloud backups anyway. You’re encrypting backups, right?

Not cool, bro, it’s against the pirate code to cheat at multiplayer video games.

I just organize it properly in a folder structure that makes sense to me. No need to do anything more complicated if you’re organized.

Yeah, I’d rather not go down that rabbit hole, it’s too much for what I need. I just want to be able to search for torrents easier and add them with one click, I don’t need the whole automation stack.

How do you install search plugins in qBittorrent? When I follow their instructions, paste the plugin URL to add it, nothing happens. I’m using a headless qBittorrent web gui

Us, selfhosters - sure.

Average person who value convenience over privacy/cost - no. They’ll continue to pay and be in prisoned by the cloud.

So, I used Homebox for a few days now. I like the simplicity of it and I like the direction they’re going. However, there are quite a few bugs and data loss issues, it’s not ready for production yet. The thing is, these issues should be so easy to fix (it’s a simple CRUD app) that it makes me doubt the dev skills and possibility of other issues I haven’t discovered yet.

• The purchase date just increments or decrements by one day after editing an item
• When editing an item the notes/description fields show the data from the previously edited item, causing you to overwrite data

These two issues alone made me go back to my spreadsheet for now (good thing I kept a backup). I simply don’t trust the app to keep my data intact.

Rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?

Yeah, it’s great to know we’ll die off!

This only works if you do not spend any of your HSA funds and instead invest them, paying for healthcare with post tax money.

In the ideal world, if I knew exactly when I’m going to die and how much I’m going to need to spend for healthcare every year - yes, I would totally do this to maximize the effectiveness of HSA.

However I don’t live in that world. It’s no use to me to spend my hard-earned post tax money and die having 100k in my HSA account. Maybe if I was making 200k+ a year to have enough to max out all tax-advantaged accounts AND cover medical expenses with post-tax dollars, sure, I would do it.

That’s why I spend my HSA money for medical expenses now. I’ve done the math and doing this it’s still costing me less than a PPO plan.

I think a better approach is to assume your costs can be anywhere from 0 to the max OOP and see how the numbers work out for different scenarios. Then you can make a decision based on financial (not health) risk tolerance

That’s exactly what I’m doing with the help of my spreadsheet.

Umm, you’re aware that anyone can stand up a Lemmy instance? Communists and fascists alike, you can just defederate from any instance you don’t like.
