Everyone is giving solid advice.
It is a trade off as google controls so much.
Tee hee. Not supporting iPhone? Yes it has an app …. I just find that really funny.
Safari and (chromium) browsers. Huh
Should the gold head be in the middle?
I know that in rca cables they are red white then yellow….
Yep. And even I did it in my post. Notice what is missing?
Test your backups!
Agreed… Yes, and… specific to backups all the encryption….
Your production stuff, yes should be as well
Would that be sufficient
No.
3-2-1
Three copies; your working copy, and a cloud copy, and (as an example) on and external HD that you keep at a friend’s house….
On two separate media… so yes cloud can cover that
One off site. So yeah cloud covers that.
Encryption on your off site copies. Yeah I don’t care if they are Linux ISOs or your grandmas recipes. ENCRYPTED
Thanks for coming to my TED talk
🤣
TLDW ???
TLDR:: Bitcoin
Done. Honestly it was one of the first that popped in other than roll your own…
I like Plex Ymmv
We do a quarterly test.
I have the DB guy make a change, I nuke it and ensure I can restore it.
For us. I don’t work for Veeam, while I don’t like their licensing. Veeam is pretty good
Hth
I have 2 “smart” tvs. IMHO I don’t connect them to the internet.
Use a device (, pi-running Plex or kodi?)
Edit. Removed roku
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah. It is kinda hard.
Backups. First and foremost.
Now once that is sorted, what if your DB gets corrupted. You test your backups
Learn how to verify and restore
It is a hassle. That’s why there is a constant back and forth between on prem and cloud in the enterprise
You’re self hosting and then sharing the files via tor?
We make it a drinking game…
Whenever a salespeople or a demo uses weasel language. DRINK!
Thank you. I’m totally going to steal “Tech debt reduction “. Ffs
Sigh, kinda… but don’t forget to factor in your backup costs too
Kinda yeah. Like many things it is complex.
Back in the day… I was so chuffed when MS released 95, and 98 and was amazed at 2000.
But yes 8 was a horror show, and to that point— is anyone excited about a new release?
When there is really nothing wrong with XYZ machine running 10; but it is not supported in 11 and your EOL on 10; yeah there’s nothing compelling me to want a new computer
MS for a short while was or seemed happy for people to use 365 , but to me it seems like they are just shitting on windows as an os.
I hear you.
Being able to search and read was the hardest part (read as not at all difficult)
99.9 % of my computer usage is FF and libreoffice.
Other than (maybe) initial setup there is nothing stopping “your mom” from being able to have Linux as a daily driver.
Microsoft is for some reason $$$$ shooting them selves in the foot they seem hell bent on making windows unusablely crappy. Oh look enshitification.
Prices? Or am I dumb again, and just not seeing them?
I don’t think so. As providers assign a number to each subscriber, like even an Apple Watch technically has its own number.
So the issue is the “way for anyone to demand my number “
Oh. Perhaps a hotspot; and tether to it. And use WiFi wherever you can otherwise? “They” could demand your number but it couldn’t ring you.
