The folding at home folks have been going for a very long time now and that’s contributed a lot to various fields of medicine over the years.

Can you mount SMB shares in unprivliged containers? I thought that was blocked.

Can the host itself write to the file share? You can check this by trying to create a file in it via the host’s shell. If it can’t write to it the container won’t be able to either.

Yup I’ve got a box in my mum’s house that all my off site backups go to and it’s a damn site cheaper just to give her some money for the electricity cost of it each month than pay for any cloud service.

This doesn’t remove security and compliance requirements for the business though. For our Linux endpoints we still deploy an AV on them and limit the user’s ability to add exclusions.

You can pry my gen8 hp microserver from my cold, dead hands.

Either ignore like I do or add a self signed cert to trusted root and use that for your services. Will work fine unless you’re letting external folks access your self hosted stuff.

As an owner of a 13 I really like it. I only use it mostly as a YouTube and email machine while most ofy heavy duty work is on a desktop but it does well enough running popos. They are a bit pricey to buy new thiugh so either get one of the older one used or go the used think pad route for a similarly repairable experience.

Of course the name changes if you pay for a different license lmao.

It’s not even the compliance portal any more it’s purview.

If you’re running mostly Linux vms proxmix us really good. It’s based on kvm and has a really nice feature set.

Yeah I’m a big fan of it. People complain about the verbosity of it but I like that for readability and autocomplete makes that a non issue I find. Plus if you really want to save on typing when using it as a terminal tool you can just make aliases for all your common commands.

Really? It’s been years since I’ve seen a display port connector with the latches on them.

I find mine useful as both a learning process and as a thing need. I don’t like using cloud services where possible so I can set things up to replace having to rely on those such as next loud for storage, plex and some *arr servers for media etc. And I think once you put the hardware and power costs vs what I’d pay for all the subs (particularly cloud storage costs) it comes out cheaper at least with hardware I’m using.

It’s been a while since I’ve found that true. You can do everything you want to do in powershell now days.
