Their service was genuinely good for the short time I used it. You’ll note in my post that I would still recommend it to anyone who doesn’t plan on doing more than average browsing and light torrenting.

They just wanted an excuse to cut me off since I made more use of it than the average person likely does, and their ‘unlimited’ advertising means you can’t actually know what their real limits are.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been enjoying the heck out of AirVPN since then, with absolutely no issues.

I have used this card for a couple years.

Pros:

• five m.2 sata slots
• single slot pcie, and short / not extending past top of slot
• incredibly cheap
• mine has been reliable
• no extra power needed
• no pcie bifurcation or other special motherboard features required (works in anything)
• the individual drives do show up as individual drives in Debian for me and can be accessed separately (not a hardware raid card)

Cons:

• pcie 3.0x2 speed in an x16 slot (2GBps)
• doesn’t support m.2 pci
• doesn’t support booting from the installed drives

If all you’re looking for is cheap, quiet, storage, and you don’t mind losing out on total read/write speeds, thisll actually do great just about anywhere.

Yeah. https://kb.unixservertech.com/microsoft_windows/nfs_client

NFS over SMB, neither if you don’t plan on doing this like, weekly or more.

But yeah, OP. You can’t reliably stop web scrapers from stealing your data. You can only make more difficult and costly to do so, at the expense of your own server, and in the case of anubis, at the expense of your real users.

I plan on switching to a RPI hosted website at some point, so I can add either iocaine or nepanthes to my website. Might as well make most of the data from my website poison to all the scrapers when I get the chance.

Yeah. The corporations with money are always going to beat the casual users without in regards to processing capability.

There are smarter ways to discourage the big companies from taking pictures of your house than by adding speed bumps to your driveway.

POW built in to the web spec would be hell. Making every single device in the world do that extra bit of work would noticeably affect energy use across the planet.

Yep. https://fedia.io/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world/t/3090624/Decreasing-Certificate-Lifetimes-to-45-Days/comment/13237364#entry-comment-13237364

What you’re talking about has existed for decades at this point. Most grey/black hat forums rightfully ban collective ddos tools when they see them. Turns out that the difference between duplicating a copyrighted work, and actively attacking a private server are vastly different, legally speaking, and get prosecuted a lot more forcefully when found.

My dns config options always have at least two spots. Obviously, this means I need two piholes to fill them both up.

More seriously, it has actually saved my network from going down a couple times already.

I’ll give you ‘satire’. But I don’t really agree with ‘critiques’. The lesson i got from the movie was “stupid people can’t really have empathy, so they just need to shut up and let actual smart people do the important work”, and also eugenics.

If it was critiquing the modern corporate structure, it would have included actual critiques of the modern corporate structure, rather than a single poor idiot in charge of a big company who should have just let the smart guy fix it all for him. In short, comapnies as they are would’ve worked if only the smart people were in charge of them.

The other part is that they depicted the corporations as completely innocent idiots too; “the computer said the money went away so I had to fire people and now they’re all rioting in the streets!” As if the company wasn’t at fault for all of that.

It’s not completely out yet. That was likely AWS being down.

Also, the new quantum protected message encryption headers are about 2kb. If that’s causing issues with your internet, you may want to consider looking at new internet.

When you do get around to changing the graphics, maybe you can ditch the ovaries and uterus look of the logo.

Lmao I hadn’t even noticed, but yes, definitely that.

Unironically yes.

Yeah. Everyone assuming this is some sort of praise or support of the current presidency really don’t know how that phrase is normally used. Half the time I heard that phrase it was in a “wtf is going on right now”/“this shit sucks” sort of way.

Shitty clickbait title is shitty.

You kinda have to play the lottery with the HDMI cards; some of the can strip it, some of them can’t. And it looks like some of them strip it and get detected.

They can’t advertise that as a feature either, so it’s a bit of a crapshoot. It may be worth finding the latest reddit post about it to see if anyone has a specific model that was working in the past year.

Honestly? Don’t do the whole switch, or even a big switch from a few services to another.

Start small. Very small. Try doing just one service you rely on, like your images or music. Immich just announced their first stable release. I use navidrome for my music. Make sure to test these on a copy of your data, not your actual data.

Once you’ve got one service working as you want it to do, then you can try your hand at another service. This way, you don’t get stuck trying to do everything all at once.

It may be worth considering how much (if any) you want to spend at the start, too. That’ll inform your next immediate task; setting up basic backups for your data. A spare drive is a good start, but it may be worth keeping another one at your parents house, or similar.
