Matrix server is pretty complicated. You'll need a reverse proxy, SSL certificates, and preferably a database like Postgresql. Minecraft would be a lot easier.

Either way, a lot of it would involve the command-line anyway, so I would second the SSH suggestion. It's fairly easy to set up. When installing Ubuntu Server for example it asks you right away if you want to install one.

Good! I remember threatening to cancel my bank accounts last time they tried to charge me the NSF fee (which worked). I was fresh out of Europe and thought that was the most ludicrous thing. Payment couldn't go through, i.e. you literally did nothing and it cost $50 or whatever? That was over a decade ago and still mad about it. A shame it's still $10 but it's at least a manageable amount for most people.

I recently started playing Tanks of Freedom II because it was featured at yesterday's OnFOSS event. It's a fairly similar idea and fun too. Comes with a campaign as well as multiplayer. Open source too which is awesome!

Banshees of Inisherin was amazing!

Sort of. I wear a camera while cycling because there are a lot of angry people in cars that have some weird hatred towards people using a bicycle.

This is great, thanks! I've been looking for a VPS provider to get rid of Linode and had trouble find alternatives in my $8/month price range that I currently pay.

Well, here you go. Tuxedo has a 14" version (unless you meant a Framework specific one).

I was just looking at one since I'm considering replacing my 2013 laptop which is getting a bit long in the tooth. It still works fine but (admittedly non-essential) bits are starting to fall off. 😆

I only have the one ZBT-1 at the moment, but like you I was also thinking about getting a second for Thread (though in the form of a HA Yellow). There's this bit in the documentation for the Yellow about multiprotocol support and one of the things is that it's better to have a second wireless chip in some cases which I take to mean that you can have multiple ZBT-1, one for Zigbee and one for Thread.

For large networks it is advisable to add a second wireless chip. This allows to run Zigbee and Thread each on a dedicated wireless chip and on separate channels.

Same to you and all reading this! Have a lovely ending of the year!

We use KMyMoney for all our stuff for years now. Very happy with it! It came in very useful when we were considering some big purchases to figure out what we could afford.

It can read Quicken files which most banks support. Those have account numbers inside them, so KMyMoney will automatically recognize which account it should go into if you set enter those numbers when setting up the account in KMyMoney in the first place. Some banks only allow you to export to CSV which is a bit more cumbersome, but KMyMoney supports that too.

It will intelligently categorize statement entries too. If you've set a particular entry as belonging to a certain category once, it will remember that for the next time you import a statement. Then you just confirm.

Those categories are very handy when making the reports to see our spending and income patterns.

Anyway, I highly recommend it.

Yes, that's what I use to using apt-mirror. It also works great for any other apt repo.

Oh, I see. You fixed that one in 1.2. That wasn't there yet when I commented. :)

Yeah, works great now!
