Try it, and if you don’t like it try another. They’re free.

I remember when MIT had a paper on this around 2000

I first heard about it in about 1994 when a Unix guy I knew told me about a type of Unix that could run on regular computers. He loaned me a POSIX book, but I didn’t really hear anything until 98. I started getting fed up with all the problems with Windows 98, and I started installing it and breaking it on any machine I could get access too. I don’t know how many floppies I formatted with each disk image of RedHat and Debian. I broke the school network a few times with things like accidentally setting up a DHCP server. I sent a patch to the kernel. I Learned a whole lot those first years.

Check RBLs a lot of times services just use one of those, and they can be flaky. Usually, you can fill out a form and get reinstated.

It’s worked really well for me.

Check out MetalLB for a local Loadbalancer

Archive.org has a lot of storage.

It’s to be the replacement for Xorg/X11.

My 90yo neighbor has run Mint since before I met him 15 years ago

I also have a dd reading my NAS once a month. It catches bad sectors and forces issues into the open.

I just use dd. It can take days, but it’s worth it.

I’ve used these kinds of disks in my NAS at least since 2017 with no issues. Just test thoroughly before using. I usually do SMART short and long tests, and then a bit by bit write and read of the entire disk. I’ve caught a couple that failed right away. If it passes that, then it’s usually good for years.

I’ve been using KeePassDroid. Nextcloud has an option to set files to favorites which keeps them local on Android.

I used to use Dropbox, but switched to Nextcloud years ago.

TT-RSS has worked well for me since Google Reader was killed.
