I couldn’t sleep at night if I didn’t have my data backed up in 6 different places. I spent way too many years as a sysadmin to deal with 2 backups.

ZFS mirrors on my Proxmox server with multiple nodes replicating to each other. Replications of those datasets to zfs.rent. Proxmox backup server taking hourly snapshots and doing it to multiple drives. Rotating USB drives on that PBS server. Backups of the data for each VM and each docker container stack via rsync. Borg backup. Multiple Nextcloud clients with each having their file syncs held locally, then rsynced to a secondary drive.

I could probably come up with a couple more that I’ve forgotten I have running. I got burned once and it made me mad.

The files and folders of NC are outside of the database. They are fully browseable in the filesystem. The database is just there for the metadata.

I virtualized my OPNsense years ago via Proxmox and put it on HA. I’ve had it failover to another node that blinked out for some reason, and not noticed it for weeks. I’m a complete believer in virtualizing it. I used 2 nics per node and the external NIC is on a switch across all nodes. YOu could use VLANs instead.

Not to mention the snapshots before updates, and restoring via PBS (which I’ve had to do and takes a few minutes). I would never go back to bare metal.

I like Fully_Kiosk on android, but it’s paid.

Eh, I just saw you weren’t meaning a tablet. That’s what most people kiosk on.

The number of kiosks that are stll Windows NT would make you shudder.

Greedy little pig-boy ruined Reddit to get his. Fuck spez.

I thought it was pretty weird, so I tried again a while later; same result. I checked through issues and couldn’t see anything, I figured it was just me. I tried because NPM was just full of error logs and was having some sort of shitfit, so I blew it out and rebuilt from scratch, now all is fine. But the NPM+ defeated me. I might have to try again just because.

NPM+ didn’t work worth a damn for me. No proxies would forward, I have no clue why and couldn’t figure it out. It was like I was turning knobs that weren’t connected to anything. But YMMV.

Long ago I learned to stop convincing people to stop shooting themselves in the foot.

He did exactly this with Solus, he didn’t even respond to requests to release maintainership to someone else for months. He’s the reason project governance boards were invented.

Brilliant coder, but he flames out and fucks off.

It needs to be running on postgres and redis. The AIO is your best bet

Just the 5-6 raid modes are shit. And its weird willingness to let you boot a failed raid without letting you know a drive is borked.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

In the docker-compose.yml for the AIO, you can specify the port that the Apache server runs on with APACHE_PORT=XXXX

Then you set your reverse proxy to proxy to that port. If you need some pointers about how to use a reverse proxy, ask away.

If you read in bed, a cheap android tablet with FBReader connected to Calibre OPDS works nicely. I just bought a few old Nexus 7 tablets for redundancy and extra readers scattered around the house and at the cabin. They sync up reading positions over Gdrive. I like the tablet because I don’t have to turn on a light and it shuts the screen off when I fall asleep. You can set the brightness manually.

The software install process if you’re doing a lot of testing and/or dev on immutable distros is untenable in my experience. I lasted about 3 days on Aurora and had to go back to Fedora, couldn’t stand dealing with the overlay bullshit for anything that wasn’t a flatpak.

Honestly, it sounds like a pain in the ass if you’re a power user.

I used to use Manjaro despite the hate, it works fine. I moved to Fedora KDE because it’s as up to date or better than Manjaro and even though I rarely had issues with Manjaro, I’ve had even less with Fedora, and the software available is almost as good, without the sketchiness of the AUR.

Did you and I read the same article? In it, the author mildly rebukes Rossman for not arguing hard enough against this asshat Yarvin, and then even takes that back with saying Rossman pointedly disagrees with Yarvin later in the comments of the video. But you’re ready to go full pitchfork on Rossman for being in the same room as the guy.

I’ve been following this FUTO thing tangentially with no real understanding of where the drama is coming from and the players involved. I originally though maybe Rossman was the closet fascist that FUTO was funding, glad to find out it isn’t. I don’t have the fanboi cultist attitude I see surrounding Rossman all the time here, but I also like his stances on digital freedom that I have run across.
