If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.

My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.

If they can find a way to monetize it, yes.

Example: Fuck brand X, use brand Y instead? Turns out both brands are Nestle.

Nothing too special, just had to do some fiddling to get the Apache reverse proxy working correctly. Now I believe they have a pre-made example for it, but back then they only had nginx. I stick with Apache because that’s still what I know. Might start learning nginx, but my main work isn’t in web stuff.

Mine is nice and quick in regards to the web interface and general functions. However I run it on a server at home and my upload speed isn’t the best, so if I need to pull a larger file (Files On Demand enabled) then obviously the transfer speed of the file is a bit sluggish.

Hosted on a VM with 16GB RAM, 4 cores. Using the NextcloudAIO docker deployment option, all behind an Apache reverse proxy (I have a bunch of other services on another VM that all have reverse proxy access in place as well).

Of course. The point of this program is not to allow repairs or upgrades. It’s so Apple can say “you don’t need a right to repair act that effects our products, look, we already have a repair program!”

In very basic terms, and why you want to do them:

Attack surface is the ports and services you are exposing to the internet. Keep this as small as possible to reduce the ways your setup can be attacked.

Network topology is the layout of your home network. Do you have multiple vlans/subnets, firewalls that restrict traffic between internal networks, a DMZ is probably a simple enough approach that is available on some home grade routers. This is so if your server gets breached it minimises the amount of damage that can be done to other devices in the network.

They don’t care. It’s the film industry equivalent to the Microsoft support scammers. Get a bunch of targets, spam out hundreds of thousands of threatening emails, profit off the small percent of people who fall for it.

The first year price is a “loss leader” discount. Get you in the door, then make a profit from you in future.

Namecheap have a bit of a reputation (as can be seen here with a few people warning of poor support), Spaceship seems to be a bit of a offshoot/addition they have created, partly as it doesn’t seem to be a 1-1 comparison, and partly maybe to avoid their existing reputation?

However, it’s not entirely a bad idea to separate your registrar from your DNS provider. If one goes down, you still have access to the other to make changes. I used namecheap in the past because it was cheap, and cloudflare for DNS. If you are using both for only your registrar, it probably won’t matter much at all as you are probably not changing nameservers often, if at all, once set.

If you are going to use your desktop, I would suggest putting all of the self-hosted services into a VM.

This means if you decide you do want to move it over to dedicated hardware later on, you just migrate the VM to the new host.

This is how I started out before I had a dedicated server box (refurb office PC repurposed to a hypervisor).

Then host whatever/however you want to on the VM.

The sharepoint itself - browser only

The document libraries (the sections of a sharepoint site that store files)* - there is a “sync” button you can press to get them into the OneDrive client on your PC, and therefore into file explorer. (It’s also possible for admins to automate this)

Your boss did this not the best way*. They should have created a SharePoint site, maybe a few extra document libraries within that site, and have the files in there. Then added people as members to the site, maybe lock down a few of the document libraries/folders as required to specific people.

Then for ease of use people can open the libraries and click the sync button. Although if you have too many it’ll slow down/break.

OneDrive/SharePoint is not a drop in replacement for a file server, and those honestly still find their use, but a lot of places with a bit of re-structuring can work just as well if not better through SharePoint . Especially if they put in the effort to start using other SharePoint features.

Next day: Find out the fix causes a new edge-case error, start all over again.

I’ve been using Trilium (https://github.com/zadam/trilium). There are desktop clients, no mobile clients. However the web interface works well enough for me that I don’t mind. The notes update in near-realtime when you make edits through the web app on multiple machines (assuming internet connectivity of course).

If you’re already self-hosting NextCloud you might want to look NextCloud Notes as well.

If you move to office 365, it is possible to create an email transport rule to handle this. Effectively any non existent address gets sent to the mailbox your specify.

Yes, they aren’t the cheapest option, and it gets meme’d that it should be called office 364,363, etc, but it is a solid service.

[x] Doubt

I mean there may be improvements, but I really doubt it’s their main goal at this point.

Very loosely it would act as a caching or proxy service from what I understand.

My understanding is that when you subscribe to community “x” on server “y”, that your server “z” starts to download all of the content from that community so it can serve it to you locally. I don’t know how fast the activitypub protocol would fetch new posts/comments, if it’s real-time, or some kind of intermittent pull or push.

Will, except in China. They opened the backdoor nice and wide for Winnie the Pooh so he could gobble up all the Chinese iCloud data

The AI can’t afford the API costs.

Another vote for selfhosting a VaultWarden (Bitwarden) setup.

I have had it through a docker container for a while, it’s solid, and the browser integration/desktop apps/web access mean my passwords are always close at hand.
