If The Wire and The Shield have taught me anything - it’s that all the stats are cooked.

I’ve been running mine for just over 5 years now - initial setup was ass, but it’s very much hands off now - email simply doesn’t change anymore.

If you have a domain to test - I can host it for you. If you then decide that it works well enough for you - I’ll show you how to set it up on your own server.

Wireguard works best for private traffic, but you can’t host a public site with that.

Of course you can! Nginx and wireguard on a VPS and actual services wherever you want.

If you can dedicate some time to constant keep up - pick a rolling distro. Doing major version upgrades has never not had problems for me. Every major distro has one.

My choice is Gentoo, but I’m weird like that. Having said that - my email server has been running happily on Arch for just over 5 years now.

The lemmy instance I host is on Debian testing - Gentoo was not available on DO - no issues so far.

Even when it’s mostly containers - why waste time every n years doing the big upgrade? Small change is always safer.

Is this the repo of the tool?

A subscription for surge protection is fucking stupid - that’s insurance renamed; but you, OP, clearly do not understand how electricity works.

@Weslee@lemmy.world has already answered, but in general - you can see [de]federated instances at an <instance url>/instances. In my case that would be lemmy.cafe/instances

If not for an occasional comment like yours - I would never remember I’ve defederated them. Thanks!

That’s not what I meant.

Never had a chance to give syncthing a shot, but nextcloud works very well. On top of that, if you ever want to ditch apple/google - it will also happily sync your contacts, calendar, etc, as well as more niche stuff like bike rides. It can become chonky, but that really depends on how much stuff you’re asking it to do.

Gentoo gang represent!

Gentoo OpenRC 🥰

So… it’s a hack, but it’s not been hacked?

Come the fuck on, BBC, you can do better.

Precision guesswork here, but I’ve had nginx (not on opnsense) redirecting me to the default host quite a few times recently - all times it was me cocking up its config. It could be that nginx is waiting for the actual target until it times out and then just gives a your opnsense gui as the most reasonable response.

I’d start checking its config. Or pasting it here, after removing secrets, it any.

The link does not load for some reason, but tar itself does not compress anything. Compression can (and usually is) applied afterwards, but that’s an additional integration that is not part of Tape ARchive, as such.

tar was nearly and adult when zip was born.

I think this is a legitimate email. What it’s saying is that your google password is compromised. Google blocked the login attempt for other reasons, but please change your password.

I’ve been occasionally giving Linux a shot since bubuntu 5.04 and it would never stick. I guess many things aligned at some point in 2017-18 when I just gave up on windows and microsoft in general. I’ve been sticking to my beloved gnome, fighting it to do things it wasn’t built to.

And then came 2019 and sway 1.0 got released. It felt like reddit imploded. Decided to finally give this “tiling nonsense” a try. A week or so later it finally clicked and I’ve not been fighting my system anymore.

Fast forward a few years and I’m now a Gentoo, OpenRC, OpenRC-init and Hyprland nutter :)

Double check if you have the -modules and/or -modules-extra installed for that version of the kernel. Literally had this issue at work on a 14.04 (sigh, I know) box.

Because that requires actually understanding the way a computer works.
