Exactly. When the person who holds your purse strings decides they don’t like something, they can influence you by simply… taking away your financial backing.

263·7 days agoprovides more security than windows.
Doubt.
Yeah, if you have a fucking clue what you’re doing which most casual users don’t. (That includes me.)
The only significant advantage it has security-wise over Windows is not defaulting to an admin/root account and instead requiring an elevation of privileges.
…but even modern Windows does the same now.
Exploits exist for Linux and other open source products, corporations with Linux servers and GNU utilities get hacked… I mean fuck just go look at all the CVE’s, they don’t make them for nothing.
Yep if the MB has a PS/2 slot this is the solution.
You can also get a usb to PS/2 converter so you don’t need an extra keyboard.
2·12 days agoFor sure, a fridge is a really bad one to be using on an actual ungrounded GFCI, exactly for the reason of risk of expired food.
I like my homeserver but if something trips and its offline for a while it’s not gonna ruin my day.
The battery can be recharged eventually unless it’s already be discharged many times or it’s left alone and dead long enough to kill any ability to recharge it.

Buy a small, appropriately sized UPS.

Profit?
Disclaimer: Am not actually electrician. Just know this about GFCI from electrician friends and pointing to a decent explainer.
GFCI plugs can be installed without a ground wire. https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/225370/i-live-in-an-older-home-without-ground-wiring-is-it-safe-to-install-3-prong-gfc ↩︎

Yes.
Wait, I’m supposed to choose my favourite of the three shells?
Is that how they work??
Cloudflare can still go bad, but its usually for high-capacity users who are using way more than the average. I haven’t seen any homeserver users get hit with any trouble, but I’ve seen a couple small businesses have bad situations with Cloudflare, although it honestly seems like the minority.
Cloudflare has issues but for most its probably fine.
KDEndlive is pretty solid, imho
OpenWRT should have VLAN support out of the gate. Probably has an admin page for it.
Unless you want to go full wireless I would strongly suggest at least one USB ethernet dongle and a cheap managed switch (managed so you can take advangate of VLANs. Unmanaged switches are cheaper if you decide VLANs aren’t for you).
