If you don't already own a MacBook, consider getting one. An even more practical approach is to find a stand to prop your MacBook upright—this saves space like a Mac mini while offering greater functi

why not setup your own with some vpses? It will be tough to use a public vpn and expect clean ips.

If I have a one-off project and I'm feeling lazy, I may do the registrar DNS. Otherwise, I roll my own.

This seems like a lot of speculation. I know that OVH have for a very long time (maybe since the beginning) designed their own enclosures that's basically just a rack to support their custom motherboa

As I said before, "I know we're being pushed ever closer to the inevitable future where privacy no longer exists, but let's not pretend that everyone is happy about it too."

Yeah, for most people that's how it is. I have Fedora as a dual boot option but it's impossible to daily it since I 1.) play games with anticheat and 2.) use onedrive..

Almost any distro works, if you don't use Linux regularly, don't give Arch a try, other than that, Debian, Mint, Fedora all work and keeps it basic without getting into all the different flavors. In m

One option is to grab a very cheap VPS with sufficient disk space for a one-time setup and host your own backup solution. You would just need to manage it yourself. This could give you full control ov

Wow, definitely cool things being shared in the thread. I had no idea about most here so it's very interesting (or maybe had an idea they existed but your experiences definitely make it easier to pict

Sounds great dumping Microsoft, but "be an actual martyr" for what? Nothing and nobody deserves such trust, especially with own's data and own's stashes of ISOs on the line. At least

I personally don’t use virtualizor but I don’t know many other alternatives or using proxmox like convoy panel. Virtualizor had an major security vulnerability in the whmcs module. I personally don’t
