Their procurement policy is basically “has it been recommended? Is anyone else using it? Is it cheap?”

I work in public sector.

Market to tax funded institutions. If you can market “self hosted” as cheaper and easier than mother solutions you’ll have guaranteed clients for a long time.

Ubuntu is a good idea to get the new one of the best ones in the world and the other one is a little bit of a lot of people who are like a lot of people who are like that and I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do with it but I think they are going to be a good day to go to the store.

Smells like toast.

This is the way.

These days id prefer a developer produce negative lines of code without breaking anything.

Hahaha. I purposely got a jibberish .xyz domain. If they ever ask for more than the $9.99 a year they can pound sand.

It is absolutely a dangerous life lol.

I keep everything backed up. It was a temporary purchase that I fully did not expect to last 5 years.

It’s literally been a clicker since day 1 lol.

No failures. No slow reads. Just a zombie beast.

I’m using a western digital refurb HDD. 14TB.

running 24/7 pretty much since the pandemic. It’s basically my media server.

They’ve been my go-to rec for like 6 years 😢

Their support is top tier, which is important when it’s important. But this complicates things. I’ll have to take a close look at the competition these days.

Damn. I always though they were one of the good ones.

Don’t get me started 😂

I worked for a company that had over 300 clients with sites with them. They don’t give a fuck. We literally moved over 300 accounts to another provider over their shit support/sales teams. Domain, hosting everything.

They. Don’t. Care.

They took down services by trying things that aren’t possible on their platform (DMARC for subdomain). Totally unacceptable. How tf do they not know that they can’t accommodate my request without damaging my infrastructure?! Other providers can do DMARC for subdimains?!? WTF?!?!

If they’re your provider and you’re in trouble, contact Newfold Digital support first. That’s their parents company. They tend to route you better than Bluehost does. Shit Bluehost chat support has been broken for like 3 months lmao.

Setup a VPN on a VPS. Use traefik and authelia. Authelia will be your authentication portal and traefik will tunnel the traffic from the auth portal to configd locations within the VPN. Get your home network on that VPN.

Choose VPS provider based on geographic location.

Sucuri?

Akamai?

Kinda depends on what’s going on, price point, etc. is this for DDOS purposes?

You do not need a CDN, but you have users. So, is this for like, a Plex server, serving friends in a similar geographic region?

What’s the use case? That will greatly help us answer.

No better way to learn how something works than to be forced to repair it from a broken state 😎

You trust Microsoft?

It will depend on “how duplicate” they are.

I’d use a file renamer that uses id3 tags, which will help find duplicates. It’ll ask you to rename/skip/delete dupes.

There are probably better methods tho 🤷‍♂️

They’re gonna realize the two jobs it can actually replace is HR and the C suite.

I know it. Anyone who was alive in the 90s knows it.

But I usually get downvotes to hell because Firefox is the current best popular browser so fanboys gonna stan.

My concern when I see bloat is “what are you hiding?”

And to me it represents the possibility that Ubuntu with Firefox is trying to make a marketable OS, which is just Windows with extra steps.

But overall I hear you. I daily drive Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu Server 22.04, Debian 12.5 and Windows 11 (sigh)
