I 2nd this.

Be aware hosting media thru their proxy is breaking their ToS. Not saying anything will happen, but be mindful.

Clonezilla. Done it too many times.

Not sure what beforehand means, but I get in the shower, sit for 20 mins and think, then stand up, get wet, add bar of soap to wash rag, put wash rag all over my body, rinse, then get out and dry.

Oh ok. That’s awesome. I didn’t know it could do UDP/TCP proxying. That’s awesome.

I’m not sure if you can proxy smb as it’s not http/s data. If using NGiNX you could use something like the stream config, but there’s not really an advantage.

I remember I spent ~$330 on 8TB HDDs and now you can get 20 TB for around the same price.

Is connect open source?

It’s great with Usen3t.

All of my servers for my LLC and at home are Debian. At my day job we use RHEL. I get to upgrade ~400 servers to RHEL8/9.

Debian is great. I use it and love it every day.

I second eweka. Great price and has pretty much everything. Then NewsDemon as a 2nd.

Why? With at-will employment you can leave or get fired at any point in time.

Of course. The only thing I don’t like about it is the free plan only allows 5 domains.

Yeah unfortunately iOS is very stingy with battery. Thankfully there’s a few apps that use apples push and ejabberd supports it. I haven’t tested them in a while tho since I’m on android.

Mattermost is great and I’m pretty sure they have an iOS app. I don’t believe the messages are encrypted on MM, but if you’re running the infra it’s not too big of a deal IMHO.

Yes. Never used it, but they all do the same thing.

AmazonSES and SMTP2Go are both awesome.

I run ejabberd for myself and my family/friend and use conversations on android. Mattermost I would say is the most like discord. I run one of those as well and love it.

Nice. So far I love Lemmy.

I use gitea and metroline. I’m pretty sure gitea has their own pipeline now, but I haven’t used it.
