If you use new encryption and not re-use the existing I’d say there is no advantage in wiping

such an easy choice …

(edit: I followed up and got out. This too is now self-hosted and codeberg when needed)

I installed I3 a few times. I did not get it and I was to lazy to look up how to use it. Somehow your post made me install it again. This time I took that moment to look up how to use it. Less than 15 min later I found myself banging my head against the wall. Should have looked it’s usage up the first time I installed it. This is what I need like 70% of the time. THNX!

well… there is self-hosting too

Half-duplex

ranked by Speedtest.net data

I have no other ideas to collect that data better but i’m sure that does not give a good generic view of the reality. Every tech I know in Sweden uses bredbandskollen. Even if an end-users is asked if they did test speed and delay, the site was bredbandskollen in nearly 100% of the cases if they had done so. Therefore I dare say speedtest is missing data and that list has no statistical relevance outside the scope of the speedtest user population.

Also, measuring speedtest result tells us about the subscription users took out. It does not tell anything about availability. I can get Gbit here, but subscribed to 100/100 because my average is low

Find someone bashing Ubuntu - they would HAPPILY choose Ubuntu over win11.

This is both : funny and true (more true than funny though ;) )

I heard it can completely crash your system if your a noob.

You can crash anything if you try. Been there, done that. Just go ahead and start using it. Just keep backups which you always do, regardless the O/S and situation. (pro tip: TEST RESTORING THE BACKUPS)

Maybe make an extra backup before you try something and you’ll live. You could also use a separate partition to store your files so you can re-install without touching your data. Make that partition size ‘recognizable’ (t.ex. the biggest by far and label it) so you won’t mess up the partition selection when you re-install. And NO don’t ask me how I know!

Well, switched from check_mk to librenms this morning. and indeed, it’s a much better fit. Much more network oriented compared to many other tools.

install snap to run MS edit … more likely I’d install ms-dos 3.22 and run the original edit in there.

Are you kidding me? True, there is time involved. My biggest ‘sin’ right now is “home gallery” for it works on MY directory structure which I won’t give up.

The geoguessing game that hides in it is superb ! I’m still amazed with the images I’ve been able to locate. Sometimes 40 years back.

Power consumption is the 2nd thing i look for in my IT devices (first is “do I need internet/cloud services to run it” … Yes is an absolut disqualifier)

Nice post. Recognisable too. I have an old server from work at home, but came to the same conclusion: with that power consumption it’s no fun running it 24/7 at home.

Thnx! This looks like the way to go.

I like the idea ! And looked at the project on github. But … snap disgust me so much more than searching the right source, i’m not adapting to it. But still nice thinking!

open-sourced Edit, a new command-line text editor for Microsoft Windows.

I pissed my pants laughing ! NEW ?? Hell, it looks like a stripped version of the editor in ms-dos 3.11

Bit broad question but Sounds like a nas can be a way to go. Read up on raid and think about your backup strategy first.

(I use a synology nas with 4Tb disk at home that backups to an offsite readynas with 4x 4tb disks in raid config and encryption)

Guilty too. There are names on router- and switch interfaces. Servers get fixed IP from dhcp so is in the note field there too. That’s about it

Same in Linux. No disk encryption and everything is easy accessible if you have physical access.

I love syncthing!! I have one VM with only debian an syncthing and that machine is backed-up frequently. All others PC’s and vm’s syncthing to that one machine.

All of them sync ~/downloads

All machines I use for coding also sync ~/code

My desktop machines sync ~/documents.

And so on. Works great (for me)
