In that case, this seems pretty reasonable – disclaimer: I can’t personally attest to the effectiveness of this

I think the general consensus for homelabbers is a mesh network – Tailscale and Netbird are the two most popular options

I just wish I had done something absurd like sport a bright pink mohawk at some point before going bald 😂

Lol “Ukraine’s war against Russia” get the fuck out of here you punk ass shill

How about instead of restricting use of the software, adding in a clause that states "Use of this software is a formal acknowledgement and agreement by the user that race and gender are a social construct, gender identity and sexual orientation is a spectrum, humans can not be illegal,… " etc.

Thus use of the software is not restricted and is still open source, but forces groups, organizations, and people who disagree with the above to acknowledge something counter to their system of power.

The Homelab Show was a good one, though they haven’t posted a new podcast in almost a year. Lawrence Systems and Learn Linux TV are the makers of it and have their own content as well

I just saw a video on Pangolin which is, essentially, a self hosted version of what cloudflare tunnels provide. I have absolutely no experience with it, just saw a video on YT, but it might be the solution you’re looking for

Correct, the hard disk in the laptop can not be read. This is where having a good backup strategy is important. Similar to how if your hard disk dies you’re no longer able to access the material on the hard disk. For me, the downsides of encryption do not outweigh the benefits of having my data secure.

I enabled full disk encryption during OS installation, set up a secure passphrase, and then set up automated encrypted backups to my home server, which are automatically backed up to a remote server.

I gain peace of mind in knowing that if my laptop is stolen I’m only out the cost of the laptop, the data within is still safe and secure.

• harddrives can be corrupted, too. That’s where backups come in
• True, though one could use a security key or password manager to overcome that, or setup secure boot/TPM to where a password isn’t actually needed. If all else fails, again, backups.

What are the downsides to encryption? Though you may have negligible benefits, if there are also negligible downsides then the more secure option should be chosen.

What’s your solution? PiHole? The thing I don’t like about the PiHole is the lack of wildcard domain rewrites. I’ve been playing with AdGuard Home and Unbound, not sure what my final solution will be, though.

Yeah I’ve been toying with FreeIPA for IdM, Keycloak for SSO, and Netbird to create a zero trust internal network. DNS is the hurdle I’m currently figuring my way over

I’m a big fan of vim/neovim with nerdtree and airline added in.

I’ve also been tryingourt Zed recently, it natively supports vim keybindings, so my workflow hasn’t changed, but its lightning fast (programmed in rust) compared to vs-codium (an electron app)

Yeah as @Nick mentioned, if it was just filling forms that would be fine, but its arranging documents and adding files together that he does most

This would totally work if it was for me, but the constant complaint from my dad is, “This was easier on Windows, why did you switch me to Linux?” So it has to be 70 year old man easy. Thank you, though!

Whoa I had no idea OnlyOffice had a PDF editor, I’ll be checking that out this week, thanks!

Thanks! I’m going to check this out!

I’ve been playing with Stalwart-Email as a combined SMTP/IMAP server. Its open source and written in rust, still pretty early in development and I haven’t played with it enough to give any real opinion on the pluses or minuses compared to other software, but its worth taking a look at.
