Replying to myself to add…
This was all while installing this and that dependency and troubleshooting it. Docker was a complication I didn’t want to learn yet.
And then tinytinyrss moved to docker only which forced my hand. I can say installing Docker and Portainer (as someone who prefers a GUI more than command line) has made self hosting so much easier for me, and hugely reduces the need to think about dependencies.
Absolutely. I had a similar journey. I started with Yunohost and DietPi. Then plain Raspbian, then plain Debian. Each time nuking and starting from scratch. You learn quickly when you’ve got to retrace the same steps again on a fresh install after messing something up.
Eventually, I tried and stuck with Proxmox (running a Debian VM) and Proxmox Backup Server. With that, you have your regular backups, and if you mess up, you simply revert to a previous backup version.
Others will recommend Ansible - I haven’t got that far yet.
I use Google Assistant a lot. I tried the Gemini Assistant on my phone and it was an exercise in frustration.
Me: (after pausing the tv) “Resume TV”
Google: (resumes playback on TV)
Gemini: “TV not recognised. Please say the device name” or even worse… “A resume is essential when you’re looking for a job in television. Your resume should blah blah…”
Me: (with phone locked) “set a timer for xxx”
Google: “setting a timer for xxx, starting now”
Gemini: “I’m unable to set timers, please unlock your phone, open xxx and (lengthy step by step instructions)”, or “setting a timer for yyy” (completely wrong time).
The caps lock thing hurts my feelings (ಥ_ʖಥ)
When you use a “good vpn”, it would just show that a user with your same fingerprint visited also from yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
So bad it’s soooo good.
It’ll be absolutely fine to use your work device for personal stuff. Until they want to fire you and need a reason for it. A quick audit of your usage, then bye bye!
These have words but might still fit the other factors:

I’ve got more than 30 open tabs, though in practice I don’t actually need ALL those tabs loaded. The extension unloads inactive tabs after a configurable time. You can also configure the extension so that pinned tabs are not unloaded, certain domains/URL patterns are not unloaded, etc.

Dragon/Nuance abandoned Swype keyboard. All I want for Christmas is that they open source Swype.
What a handsome dog! I hope your memories together stay strong :)
A QR code just links to a URL. If you link to a URL that you own or control, it’ll be fine. The problem comes when people use a link shortener that allows the destination to be changed later, or if they lose control of the domain or its backend.
I miss redditbay for cheap keys and licenses and accounts.
This is a good example of hallucination, both by the AI and by OP. The first and third word of each line is a synonym for average.
Oh man, dustbusters! From 10 minutes run time out of the box to 30 seconds of asthmatic wheeze after a few months’ use.
Substitute your beliefs in FOSS etc for god, veganism, Apple, Trump, Biden, your favourite band - and realise that everyone’s on their own journey. Don’t be that guy forcing your beliefs on your friends and family. Or, like you do, find a social group that does share your beliefs. Enjoy them. Enjoy your family and friends.

I ordered one of these off Ali Express. An oscilloscope app showed it was about 40Hz vibration from the weight on the motor, far far from being ultrasonic. Got a refund, it ended up in the recycling.
