Once again you seem to be calling for not bothering with any security effort of there’s even a remote chance of some other vulnerability happening.

The whole point of security is that it’s always a multi-layered thing. Nobody sane is pretending that encrypting web traffic with HTTPS is a panacea that’s going to solve all your data security needs. But it is sure as hell a million times better than having all of your data transmitted in the clear, with absolutely no assurance that you’re are talking to the system you think you’re talking to, or that the data hasn’t been tampered with in transit.

And don’t pretend https is a huge burden. It’s dead simple to get SSL/TLS certs, and the additional load of encrypting and decrypting the traffic is barely even a rounding error on modern CPUs.

You know how I know you don’t know anything about security or computing?

I’ve been using FolderSync (Pro in my case) for many years to sync files (automatically and/or on-demand) from my phone to my Linux server.

AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike

Unless you have a monitor that requires HDMI 2.1 to get full resolution/refresh. Then it only works partially.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Linux, and I’ve been using it on my desktops/laptops for almost 30 years at this point.

But there are still issues to deal with on a regular basis, same as Windows or OSX.

Well again, I’m only using /24 chunks of it.

The main reason I went with it is that it’s far faster for me to type “10.0.x.x” than to type “192.168.x.x”, especially on the keypad.

I use 10.x.x.x addresses at home, though split into /24 networks in each vlan.

I have the same issue (TRIPLE NAT’d! One of which is the CGNAT). Unfortunately I have external family that accesses from media boxes/TVs so those won’t work for me.

Thankfully I was able to get a small VPS server for $2/mo and set up some reverse tunnels with auto-ssh. Seems to be working fairly well so far.

All that said, I longingly look forward to the future when I don’t have to worry about NAT.

I have the same issue with Keepass2Android. I think the issue is with Android itself rather than the password app.

I use proxmox mail gateway (PMG) for my homelab, configured to relay through my Gmail domain using smtp auth.

I’ve also used PMG at the enterprise level. Never had an issue with it.

It’s postfix underneath.

Growing up in west Texas, I talked to one uber-Baptist who for some unfathomable reason believed that the Catholics “worship Mary”, therefore they don’t follow the “there is only one God” rule and therefore aren’t Christian.

The only reason I ever got rid of my original brother laser printer is because computers stopped coming with parallel ports, and the adapters I tried all sucked.

2nd Brother laser printer is still going strong after 15yrs.

Are you updating Debian on a potato with every single one of the 74000+ packages installed? Because even on my slowest machines (going back decades) it’s never taken anywhere near that kind of time to complete a full version upgrade, let alone just an update.

I just learned that Max streams the MotoGP races live. Thankfully we have Max as part of our can phone plan.

No, odds are your parents didn’t buy a house in their 20s. Certainly it wasn’t common. And once they did, it was likely a small house. And it’s starting to piss me off that young adults think it was common.

• We (GenX) were 30 in a MCOL area, but with very good paying careers.
• My (boomer) parents were 35 when they finally got to buy a house in a LCOL area - and it was a real fixer upper that hadn’t been lived in for 2 years.
• Their (Silent/Greatest) parents didn’t buy a house until they were in their mid-30s in a M/HCOL area. On my mom’s side it was a 800ish sqft duplex with 1 bathroom where they raised 3 kids. Father’s side hadbit more room (maybe 1300ish) but still 1 bathroom and 3 kids.

And up to the point where we did buy a house, I always lived with roommates. There was only a couple month period where I ever lived by myself in an apartment, and it was a stretch, and I was glad (financially anyway) when I got a roommate again.

Neither of my parents ever lived alone l. They lived at home until they got married and rented together. Same for all my grandparents.

In this week’s episode of The Slow Mo Guys…

The main point was always portability, and the ability to run NetBSD on basically ANYTHING.

Biggest problem I see is its inability to embed images and other multimedia.

That’s one of its best features as far as I’m concerned, and one of the reasons I still use it every day.

Y’all must be doing something wrong because HW raid has been hot garbage for at least 20years. I’ve been using software raid (mdadm, ZFS) since before 2000 and have never had a problem that could be attributed to the software raid itself, while I’ve had all kinds of horrible things go wrong with HW raid. And that holds true not just at home but professionally with enterprise level systems as a SysAdmin.

With the exception of the (now rare) bare metal windows server, or the most basic boot drive mirroring for VMware (with important datastores on NAS/SAN which are using software raid underneath, with at most some limited HW assisted accelerators) , hardly anyone has trusted hardware raid for decades.

I despise docker/containers.
