This. Generally speaking, If we donā€™t support small businesses, large corporations win and we all lose.

Iā€™ll just say this: you get what you pay for. I used pCloud a few years ago and wasnā€™t able to retrieve all my data, some files got corrupted (luckily I had backups). Now I use a DIY NAS and backup to B2.

This is hilarious. I love it haha

Work on my homelab, I enjoy it :)

Thereā€™s a lot of good advice here. I just want to add that you absolutely do not need to go back to school. Itā€™s a waste of money! Iā€™m 100% self-taught, work in ā€œDevOpsā€ and not a single employer in the last 6 years has asked me about my education or credentials. I enjoy it and it pays well. You donā€™t have to do DevOps though. Lots of jobs in IT and employers are competing for skills.

Been using Tuta for over 4 years now with several domains. Never had any issues. The price is also very affordable.

Wow! Thanks for this. I usually use invidious but Iā€™m not super happy with it; Piped looks great!

Itā€™s really not complicated. Look up Truenas or Rockstor. Both are solid NAS OSs. Iā€™ve been running Rockstor for about a year now (partly because Iā€™m a huge fan of btrfs) and Iā€™m pretty happy with it. Make sure to keep an offline backup on an external drive just in case you mess something up. I manually plug in a drive about once a month for that. I think DIY is more fun anyway ;) and Iā€™m sure the community will help with questions you canā€™t find answers to online. Good luck!

Is this even legal? Donā€™t they have to show prices by law?

STOP!

Uncommon command. If heā€™s walking or running, stop means stop and stay put.

Edit: formatting, as per OPā€™s request.

That it was mine šŸ˜‚

Not all heroes wear capes.

Pretty similar. Not sure what OMV uses as a FS but Rockstor natively uses btrfs (a FS I used for years and trust) so it was a no brainer for me. Everything else works as expected, nfs, smb, snapshots, backups, etc. The only add on I decided to use on top of Rockstor itself is for Duplicati for B2 backups. I hear a lot of good things about FreeNas too.

Many good suggestions on here. I have Rockstor running on mine. When I built my NAS, it was the only OS that used BTRFS for the FS (and I really like BTRFS) so I went with it.

Edit: also I have it running in Proxmox as a VM.

I like that theyā€™re making this a priority so itā€™s a step in the right direction but with greedy tech companies racing to improve the tech for profit, we as a race need to do a LOT MORE if we want to avoid extinction

Iā€™ve had intermittent issues with T-Mobile on hotspot too. Iā€™m not sure how helpful this will be but hereā€™s my 2 cents. The only params I played with that seemed to help were the :

1- MTU (if I remember correctly, I had to dial it down to 1300)

2- and using IPv6 instead of v4.

This will depend on the APN youā€™re using for T-Mobile. I believe they have a legacy one that only uses IPv4 whereas their new one supports IPv6 only (I wasnā€™t able to find clear info about this but this is my guess). In any case, I have my wireguard server setup to support and use both IP versions and when v4 doesnā€™t work for me, switching to v6 fixes the issue for a while. At some point I even suspected they were heavily throttling wireguard traffic, which may be the case but who knows.

I hope this helps, good luck!

3 (all contracts and by choice). But I did at least a dozen interviews in the same period and no one ever asked about any diplomas.

Believe it or not, with the right skill set (ie if you have skills that employers are looking for) you wonā€™t even need to apply. Headhunters WILL find your linkedin. Right now the market is noticeably slow and thousands of IT professionals got laid off in the last few months alone. The economy will recover soon though so maybe get ready for when that happens by learning new skills. AI, big data, IaC, etc are all in demand.

Agreed. Especially when reliable storage only costs $4-$6/tb these days. (Where I live that wonā€™t buy you a freaking cup of coffee lol). I only back up to the cloud and pay for my important data anyway, I have terabytes of data that I donā€™t mind losing and therefore donā€™t bother backing up to the cloud.

Same here! I check Amazon last after exhausting other options first. Also I find that most items on Amazon can be bought on Chinese apps/sites (ali express, temu, shein etc), theyā€™re literally the exact same, just cost 10 times more lol. Oh, and fuck the CCP.
