Why are we not surprised?

I use https://sftpgo.com/ at home for backing up and accessing files. It’s a private unshared network and it works well.

This is so me!

Pushing straight to ops sounds like our devops team at work; commit straight to main and then test.

I believe they also write off as much as they can as income losses to reduce their tax bill. Minimal or no income? No taxes.

I didn’t realise (or more likely I forgot) that Fossify forked the Simple Mobile apps.

Safari on iOS here, plus an ad blocker and NextDNS. I don’t see any of this nonsense, just the gaming content.

Not for long…

I’ve always wondered what the WTF in LLM stands for.

That’s exactly what this is. All stores will eventually do this and prices will fluctuate throughout the day.

Someone will have to start a website to track item prices so we can work out when the cheapest time to buy something is.

I’m store item prices will be the next gas prices.

Because Google don’t want you to export your photos. They want you to depend on them 100%.

Run pihole on a server somewhere, accessible only via a vpn. Install the vpn on their devices.

I haven’t tried this but I recall someone saying it was how they had it setup.

I can see how decades of working at Microsoft can turn someone into a goose farmer. I’ve been using their products for decades and some days I never want to see their products again.

I can’t rant against librarians. My friend has been a librarian for many years and she has put up with a hell of a lot of crap from people. So be kind, be patient and be honest with them.

Obviously not all librarians, like any job, are perfect.

Spot on. You can’t self host without reading app and system logs.

So true!!

Wait, there’s a whole website dedicated to copilot? #ffs

I’m using https://sftpgo.com/, which uses WebDAV. It’s as basic as can be but I like it because it’s so basic. I can mount drives in windows and Linux and it has a basic webui for file management. The only problem for me is mobile apps. I’m trying out OwlFiles on Android and iOS; the free version includes WebDAV support, which works well.

Don’t make anything accessible via the internet if you’re new and starting out. The last thing you want is to accidentally leave a port open, leave an admin page with a default guessable password, or a piece of vulnerable software running and have someone gain access to your local network.

Start locally and learn the basics following the excellent advice of others here, and slowly build your knowledge until you understand the various moving and connecting pieces.
