I’ve seen others mention the redundancy for the PSUs. One note about that, they are meant to be plugged into 2 different circuits! Otherwise, if they are on the same one and it fails, then redundancy is out the window.
Not a requirement, but if this is going to be a data hoarding type deal or you want it highly available for your purposes, then you should make sure you keep this in mind.
On that same token, read up on RAID Levels for hard drive redundancy.
I never understood willfully installing Big Brother in your own home on your own dime.
Alexa has already been compromised in a few different instances. Weirdos having full conversations with kids, etc.
Then add in the fact that systems from Google and Amazon are, well, owned and operated by these corpo giants with interests that don’t involve you other than harvesting your behavior.
You also make a very valid point about the cheap IP cams from China. I spent some time configuring a home system several years ago, and I couldn’t finish/make it operational. The security holes that I had no ability to close were astounding (like hard-coded, default admin passwords).
I use Mullvad and Transmission, and I generally never have issues seeding. I’m currently seeding a few torrents from 1337x, EZTVx, and some linux ISO images.
Whenever I grab FitGirl stuff, I’m usually scraping the Fucking Fast links and using this library to download them, so I can’t speak to whether or not it’s something with FitGirl (but I can’t imagine it would be). Most likely some setting on your end.
I been using Transmission since it came out 20 years ago. I never understood why you would use anything else.
It’s FOSS and has the simplest interface with all the options.
Throughout the years I’ve seen so many of these apps get mass-adopted, then a few years later some issue comes up that makes people mass-exodus to another app and it starts all over again.
Meanwhile, Transmission has been consistent (and you can self-host/run seedboxes with it).
HAL was a virus the whole time
Indeed, you are not wrong. Such is the state of many, many things.
I admit it’s easy enough to say, “let’s get rid of it”, but without a solution it’s meaningless to say and is just an ideology.
I don’t think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.
It’s not the core of the issue, but the average joe that is a hobbyist self-hoster it will be.
IMO, the core issue is that there is no standard whatsoever. People just do whatever the hell they want with these records, pretty much. Microsoft and Google do it differently than each other, even.
The only solution for me is that we move on from email as a society.
I’m always backing up with SyncThing in realtime, but every week I do an off-site type of tarball backup that isn’t within the SyncThing setup.
just for future reference (click the source button to see how I embedded your image)
Yea, if you are not willing to be meticulous about learning/understanding all the DNS stuff (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and plan to host this at home, don’t.
I ran this same system for a very long time on a VPS and had no problems with blacklists, but I’m also a career systems engineer that maintained enterprise systems and exchange servers.
Also note how I am speaking of MIAB in the past tense…
I think the better option is to try and avoid email as much as you can, just like SMS. Outdated tech and not secure. At that point, any ol’ existing email service is good enough.
I grew up Christian, and denounced it all at age 15 for atheism. Later, I ended up becoming very spiritual (but not religious, more like Taoist/Buddhist). That’s when I started to realize there are nuances like this.
Admittedly, I almost did write down Christian, but I changed it 'cause of exactly what you say. It isn’t fair to the actual Christ-like that exist out there, and it’s not only Christian denominations behaving this way.
It sucks that religion in general is being used by the vile controllers to manipulate, and I wish there were more folks like you that actually questioned things and lifted the veil for themselves. Seems to me that, at least southern baptists, are practically trained to never question authority and always take information at face value if the person giving that information simply claims they are Christian. Same people believe that you should keep sex and drug information from your children, instead of preparing them for the good and bad of each they may encounter in the world.
I am heartbroken and ashamed at how many people I once thought good and decent, who have fallen for this lie and follow such a disgraceful monster.
Yea… it especially sucks when its your parents. We used to do fun things together, now I have to hide everything about who I am.
They retained a large portion of their staff and are still headquartered in Toronto, though.
Oh damn, I hadn’t heard of that with the Avowed thing. That’s a Bethesda/Microsoft sleezeball move right there.
I think people in general need to just default to “finding content another way”, because companies should never be given the benefit of the doubt IMO.
Case in point is Obsidian, they are supposed to be one of the good ones.
Should definitely be. My mother has the Paper White 6" and I am able to transfer all my zlib EPUB and MOBIs through USB with no issues.
Nevermind, I think I misunderstood and you meant it more like, “We’ll see how long they allow this feature”
(and for whatever reason strikethrough markdown isn’t working…)
I’ve never used it, but curious myself what the benefits are.
Seems too easy to just hop on tor, login, and download.
IMO, err on the side of caution and just don’t use it.
Sounds like my parents’ pastor
Unfortunately, they are not 100% the problem. Certain groups of loyal citizens put them there.
So while I agree, fuck every politician in office, let’s not forget to give credit where credit is due to the “american” people.
And don’t tell me those same people are just brainwashed. No, those same people would have put a fascist in power regardless of how educated they are. Evangelicals are just clueless and even the smart ones suck cheeto dick.
Interesting site. I already snagged a Kobo, but I’ll definitely keep this in mind for other stuff!
Ahh, looks like Canada native company started by Indigo, bought by Rakuten in 2011. At least their HQ and all is still in Toronto, didn’t get gutted by the buyout.
In my experience (USA), it is magnitudes more than “some people”, unfortunately.
People read 1984 and thought, “Winston is my hero!”
