Yes, twice (download from home to the server, and upload from the server to the client)
I do the same thing - I have a 3TB limit, but usually only use 300GB, sharing Jellyfin to a dozen or so users.
Edit: I'm sure there are plenty of good VPS providers out there, I personally have been using NerdRack for a few years now (got a VPS on special and the rate is locked as long as I keep it). Looks like they'll do $11/year right now for a KVM VPS that's sufficient.
I spent a few years designing 3D printed guns for fun, none of them were effective or well known, and I never manufactured any myself. I did that that as a teenager, before there were laws, and it's what got me into engineering before I pursued a degree. This was pretty early on in hobbyist 3D printing, it was all super experimental. Ultimately, 3D printing is just one method of manufacturing - there are many out there, and honestly the barrier of entry is low regardless of what method you choose. If someone has the skills to run a 3D printer, they can buy the hardware store components to make a gun regardless.
The better bet for legislation would be to more comprehensively ban unlicensed manufacturing, whatever the method, and more strictly regulate which parts may be bought unlicensed (barrels, trigger assembly, magazine, etc).
On a personal note, I think it's too deeply engrained in American culture to shift anyway, but I hope we keep trying to change the world for the better l (stricter background checks, more stringent home safety requirements, etc.)
Ostensibly, that's because the app wants Bluetooth and/or WiFi access so it can connect to the printer. Because you can use WiFi and Bluetooth to determine location (based on large crowd sourced databases of these data points that have been geolocated), the OS has to ask for location permission as well, even if you just need to see WiFi and Bluetooth.
That being said, once they have this permission, I have 0 doubt they log the actual location as well...
Mozilla used to run a free service for this, and collected that data in the background using mobile Firefox. A replacement is https://beacondb.net/, which is still building enough location data to become useful. Services like this aren't nefarious, they're actually really important in getting a quick GPS lock on mobile. Phone hardware actually have pretty poor GPS receivers, but if you can determine an approximate location prior, you get much better results, especially once supplemented with inertial measurements and snapping to mapped roads.
As an apples to oranges comparison, here's a fun datapoint.
I just rented a BMW 5 series for a week, for a grand total of ~$300. That's a good deal, sure, but some very rough napkin math tells me a $60,000 car / $300 / week = 200 weeks of rental should pay for the cost of the vehicle (ignoring maintenance for now). So, let's say it's a $5k bike (implausible), that should really only be $25/week, or generously $4/day. The fact even the cheaper option mentioned is 6x this is terrible - bikes really shouldn't be this expensive.
I wish bikes were more cost effective :(.
Edit: I wish bike rental services were more cost effective/sustainable :(
I've found great success using a hardened ssh config with a limited set of supported Cyphers/MACs/KexAlgorithms. Nothing ever gets far enough to even trigger fail2ban. Then of course it's key only login from there.
yeah my product is awful but have you seen the other guy
Yeah, it's this. I worked at Epic somewhat recently, and I've since worked with former Cerner/Oracle folks too. To Epic's credit, they've never been acquired, and are better for it.
There's a lot of vocational awe across the board, people genuinely trying their best to make the product good. But healthcare is inherently complicated, because people are complicated. Each individual health system needs it customized to their specific needs, and over time this can get hairy to support. Add on to that that regulations and guidelines literally change every year, and it can become really hard to make headway on more meaningful changes when you're just trying to stay compliant.
This leads to burnout on the software support side, Epic churns through new hires like crazy - average tenure has been way down since COVID-19 (you can Google their response to that), so it's a revolving door of 21-25 year olds keeping that ship afloat.
Also, yes, insurance companies are the ones making the big money, by a mile.
Agree with others, Vaultwarden is probably your best bet. I've found the default app to be a little flaky, but ended up using Keyguard, which I've found really good.
I used to use Keypass+Syncthing, but found sync conflicts too often (due to Syncthing support for Android), hence the switch.
I used to drive on State Line past that lot full of Teslas daily, always saw a ton of Cybertrucks just sitting. Once Musk started getting so much (more) hate I figured it was a matter of time before someone torched it.
Also, I always find it funny how it's totally just a road that divides the states, I'd drive to work and be "in" Missouri and drive home "in" Kansas lol
Ah then I'd recommend keep the existing machine as the server (it sounds like it's serving you well hardware wise), and get a SFF machine for regular desktop use, be that a new build or a used office machine. The trick will be in migrating the server to Linux, and without endangering your data in the process.
In short, I'd recommend option B/C, where you buy used enterprise grade equipment, learn to run Linux, and build out that way. I can't overstate just how good a deal can be had on eBay, even from reputable sellers. This goes for everything, from the computer itself, to disk shelves, to HDDs and SSDs. Plus you're reducing on e-waste! Used HDDs are a great deal if you buy enough to run redundancy (RAID 6 or equivalent), because the seller will often include a warranty (up to 5 years!). I've only had a handful of drive failures and 0 issues with warranty refund/exchanges.
You're running roughly the same services as I do (though a bit more storage), so if it means anything, I've ended up using the following (all purchased used)
HP Z440 Workstation (upgraded over time)
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2698 V4 (20 core)
RAM: 128GB DDR4 2133MT/s
GPU: Intel Arc A380
Storage: Boot SSD + HBA card for bulk storage
2 x Dell EMC KTN-STL3 JBOD
15 x 3.5" bays
Mix of HDDs spread across the two JBODs
7 x 12TB
6 x 14TB
6 x 10TB
2 x 16TB
1 x 8TB
1 x HP QR490A JBOD
24 x 2.5" bays
Mix of SSDs
6 x 3.84TB
5 x 1TB
Broadly, I find the following with my setup:
Pros
Easily expandable storage using a HBA
High reliability (ECC memory, server grade equipment)
Used equipment is cheap
Cons
Running mostly older-gen hardware, not cutting edge performance
Yeah a lot of those look moderately benign (waving away media, for example). Best case scenario it's an unfortunate habit what happens to make him look like a Nazi... At the same time, I'd expect someone to break the habit to distance themselves from it.
In the same vein, I use Niagara launcher and a monochrome theme - I find it helps with the phone addiction.
Edit: This is just one tool, you also have to really want it to break habits.
