Please drink a verification laxative?

That’s on the nsfw version of xkcd

I have nextcloudAIO running on a VM with 6 vcpu, 16gb ram. No issues with performance.

The root partition is on an nvme drive, the data partition is on a HDD raid 1 array.

That VM is hosting another few services like nginx proxy manager, Heimdall, and a few other things I forget at the moment.

Never have any issues with performance

Agreed. Get them a ChromeOS device, or get a good refurb business class laptop and put ChromeOS flex on it.

Yes it’s not what OP is probably wanting, but this gives them a device that is hard to mess up with a minimum of training.

Capacitors replacing batteries like this, similar to nuclear fusion power, is always only X years away.

Because many people are not smart. If they buy a 65w charger and see only 60w being pulled they’ll complain that either the charger or phone is defective and want a refund.

I would like to see it as an option to enable, at the moment though I just have a few cables that measure/display this for me. It’s a useful basic troubleshooting tool with laptops and phones. If you plug them in and dont see any current or only 0.1w, you know there’s a problem with the device getting power.

Honestly might be part of it, by going out of spec on the timestamps it probably let’s them more easily insert different length ads

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.

It does not whip the llamas ass.

Games need to live closer to the bleeding edge than a lot of other software.

Also, for wine/proton, and the other customisations built into the deck, it makes sense to pick a starting point that is more built for customisation. By that I mean there was probably less things they needed to add or remove at the start.

As mentioned, it’s also likely there was personal bias internally. But even that can be a valid reason as they need to be familiar/comfortable with the starting distro.

Not saying that Debian cannot do it, but doing it this way probably made valve’s employees lives easier.

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.

A sane firewall configuration should have no/minimal impact on a desktop focused OS.

On the other hand, sometimes programs are really badly made and expect stupid things like there being no firewall.

You should have one yes, but to each their own.

I manage a bunch of windows computers and regularly make adding firewall rules part of install scripts, good example: Dreamweaver.

Is it possible that people browsing anonymously and/or logging in with the same account on multiple apps influenced the numbers?

I admit that I’ve been bouncing between Sync and Boost since the release. I like both for slightly different reasons.

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.

What do you mean by “just as good”.

It really depends on if you mean amount of content, or are ok with there only being maybe one post a day but that being a quality post worthy of discussion.

Í want to hear about both to be honest.
