Gentlemen this is democracy manifest!

Reverse proxies can be useful for hiding your IP if you do something like host it in a VPS and tunnel the traffic back to your self hosted service. There’s also a lot of documentation on attaching things like fail2ban or crowd sec which can be helpful in reducing the threat from attacks. if you’re running lots of services it can reduce the risk of two apps using the same ports as ultimately everything will go through ports 80 and 443 on the public facing side. Finally again if you’re hosting several services having a central place to manage and deal with cert from can save a lot of time rather than having to wrangle it per service/ server.

Speaking from the more sysadmin side of things it can certainly feel that some days. Particularly with the never ending wave of half baked saas apps that my org seems to love acquiring.

So we all forgot the premise of “They Live” and are having to learn in again huh?

Ah deathgasm. Love that movie.

The trick to breaking this cycle is to suggest a time to hang when you first propose the idea. This makes it far more likely to actually happen I find.

Server rack with a couple of PBs worth of drives in it would probably match the physical size. Or a massive tape archive storage.

Hey if someone told me I could go see the 2025 equivalent of this hard drive being unloaded if probably go take a look.

The folding at home folks have been going for a very long time now and that’s contributed a lot to various fields of medicine over the years.

Can you mount SMB shares in unprivliged containers? I thought that was blocked.

Can the host itself write to the file share? You can check this by trying to create a file in it via the host’s shell. If it can’t write to it the container won’t be able to either.

Man I miss having a dishwasher. Definitely a requirement for the next place I’m in.

Yup I’ve got a box in my mum’s house that all my off site backups go to and it’s a damn site cheaper just to give her some money for the electricity cost of it each month than pay for any cloud service.

You can pry my gen8 hp microserver from my cold, dead hands.

If those are important to you yes but the old desktop route generally means you’ll get access to more powerful chips plus the ability to add more storage and memory.

At a functional level I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. Though my preffered method for that has always been old desktops over phones as it gives a lot more flexibility overall.

Generally speaking I find USB hubs with ports on them work pretty well with android as they’re just relying on the Linux kernel drivers for the USB support.

That’s what I said. But for some strange reason I used the word the and not I at the start of my comment.

The know the acronym stands “for those that do know” but all I can read is “for the win donkey Kong”.
