Synestine

Have you never lost your password device (phone, laptop, etc) suddenly and unexpectedly? That’s when you really want that file synced somewhere else. But then it’s too late. Bonus on many password vault servers is shared folders, so one can share their garage door code with the family but keep the bank account details to oneself.

Is there a way yet to in-place upgrade or is it still only “flash a new SD”?

I use Jellyfin as a backend for my Kodi boxes (I have 3, and JF keeps them in sync). I used to have a YouTube plugin, but YT broke that this year.

Personally, I use Kodi for that. It works very well with minimal keyboard and no mouse (though it can handle both), so much so that I’ve run it for years using only an IR remote.

If you’re willing to go that route, check out Zabbix and Icinga2 as well. They’re compatible with Nagios checks but the user interface is better.

I use ssmtp as well for a simple sendmail replacement. It takes over the sendmail command, doesn’t open any ports. You configure it for the domain you want and tell it what server to send everything to and it works.

True, but SQLite is not recommended in production settings, and is quite often the source of Nextcloud slowdowns, in my experience. A dedicated DB is the first thing I recommend for a production Nextcloud instance.

Oh and to be clear, in this instance, “production” means “people depend on this”, be that your family group, team/department, fraternal order, church group, etc. as opposed to “I’m just playing with this thing.”

Slackware 1.2, because it came on a CD in the back of a fat paperback manual I got at Barnes and Noble. It was only later that I learned what a distro is.

Currently on Fedora with a Frankenstein desktop of my own concoction.

Wait, you object to their feely-distributable firmware updates? Seriously? Without those, your CPU is vulnerable to exploits and known hacks.

Really? Which ones?

You mean besides Fedora?

‘dd’ works, but I prefer ‘shred’. It does a DoD multi-pass shred by default, so I usually use ‘shred -vn1z /dev/(drive)’. That gives output, does a one-pass random write followed by one-pass zero of the disk. More than that just wastes time, and this kinda thing takes hours on large spinners. I also use ‘smartmontools’ to run SMART tests against my drives regularly to check their health.

A named volume for the config directory for one.

Take it off the charger and see if you get the claimed battery life. Maybe you will, or maybe your 3+ hours of battery time runs out in less than one.

If your requirement is a 3.5" drive bay, then maybe check out some of the SFF form factors, like an HP Elitedesk SFF 800 (not the mini/micro). It has the same hardware as the mini, takes the same amount of power, but has a space for a 3.5" disk and a slimline optical disc. It’s bigger than a NUC, but smaller than a tower.

It probably didn’t. What’s probably happening is that when Debian starts, it loads power management, while being in the BIOS/UEFI still has everything at max.
