People are aguing about the reparability thing a lot. Current electric cars are less reparable, but that is by design. Car manufacturers are using electric as an excuse to make cars harder to repair. The reality is that electric motors and batteries are dead simple, they just add a bunch of techno bullshit to make them worse. Charging is bad right now, but that will improve with time, just like gas did when gas cars were new. I like cars, and hate seeing them being turned into what they are today, but there is nothing fundamentally different about electric cars to make them the piles of absolute garbage they are, (apart from battery technology not being great right now). 90% of the problems with electric cars are there by design, and I think everyone should buy a car that isn’t designed to suck, whether it’s gas, electric, steam, or fart powered.
What do you mean? She’s 32000 years old. /s
Delete /etc to make your system faster. /s Also, obligatory warning to NEVER DO THIS for anyone new to Linux.
Did you have to use a display to flash? Some of them don’t seem to have a display output and I don’t know if that will be an issue. The apple thing concerns me. There are a few macs and iPhones on the network, but the macs are m1, and the oldest iphone would be a 12. Do you think that would be an issue? Also, which R3 router are you using specifically?
Unless I’m missing the joke, I think you’re in the wrong place. Also, IDK.
Skimming the article, it appears they attacked a particular client that is popular in Korea.
They said they want a local backup so they don’t have to redownload because bandwidth is expensive. I think a RAID makes more sense. I also don’t think btrfs is a great idea for a boat. Power failures will probably be somewhat common, and btrfs is not the most stable, so I don’t think I would trust it in weird conditions. Documentation is definitely a great idea though.
For hardware, I would go with sata ssds for storage. I also would recommend a separate boot drive as it makes re installing without loosing data a breeze. You could go with a new processor from intel or amd, and make sure it has onboard graphics. You should also go into the BIOS, enable xmp (always do that. It’s free performance), and look for power saving settings. You could go for arm, but most arm computers lack expansion options and that can mean you use USB for drives which is unreliable. I think dc atx power supplies are a thing, but I know nothing about them. I would recommend doing ext4 and a raid, ideally 6 or 10. That will give you stability (from filesystem issues) and good reliability. I know RAID is not a backup, but in this case it may be what you want. RAID is for uptime, and it would be able to usually buy you enough time to finish your trip, or you could even have spare drives onboard and fix it while you’re out in like 10 minutes. Also, I would highly recommend researching how to power it well. Starting an engine can mess with the power and could fry a computer. I don’t know if a dc ups is a thing, but if it is, get it.
For software, use whatever you want, mostly. I always use debian for servers, but proxmox would probably be fine. You can use powertop to make sure it runs efficiently.
You can. I am lucky enough to not have been hacked after about a year of this, and I use a server in the living room. There are plenty of guides online for securing a server. Use common sense, and also look up threat modeling. You can also start hosting things locally and only host to the interwebs once you learn a little more. Basically, the idea that you need cloudflare and aws to not get hacked is because of misleading marketing.
I know i2p is a bit hard, but if you can figure out how to torrent you should be able to. I would recommend i2p+, which is a fork of i2p that is compatible with regular i2p but is easier to setup. Get the installer here: https://i2pplus.github.io/. If you are on linux, don’t worry about it being an exe, it is java and you can run it with “java -jar file.exe.” After that, you can open a browser and type localhost:7657. Set your proxy in your browser to localhost:4444, for the http and https settings. It may be different if you use chrome. Now you should be able to access tracker2.postman.i2p/. Don’t forget a slash at the end. Your browser won’t recognize it as a website without it. You will need the torrent client, i2psnark, which can be accessed on localhost:7657/i2psnark.
This may sound complicated, but the steps to install i2p boil down to:
I agree, though I wouldn’t blame the article. If it is insecure, you shouldn’t be using it unless it is set up to allow you to run a real os on it.
Gen Z here. Totally agree, though I personally am a bad example for this one. There was someone in my CS class once who I was put into a group with for a project. I needed some code that they had, so I asked them to put it on my flash drive. It was taking a while and eventually I asked why. They didn’t know where their IDE saved their code, and were using Windows search to try and find it. They were pretty good at actual programming, logic, etc. though.
You can use I2p and upload to postman (tracker).
Not very true. Plenty of gen z still torrent. This seems more like a shitpost.
I believe zfs has deduplication built in if you want a separate backup partition. Not sure about its reliability though. Personally I just have a script that keeps a backup and an oldbackup, and they are both fairly small. I keep a file in my home dir called excluded for things like linux ISOs that don’t need backed up.
To be fair, Netflix and the others all had to pay licensing fees and whatnot. I think governments should simply ban exclusivity deals so that competition can exist.
Damn, federation is crazy. Over here you’re the only comment lol.
It sounds like you’re on the right track. As long as you aren’t hosting anything too important, just go for it. The only thing to keep in mind is security, which in your case should be fairly simple.
For how to learn simple html and css, w3schools is your friend. You can learn all the random stuff people become extremely opinionated on eventually, but don’t get overwhelmed by all of it and just do what works for you.
You can do that with pihole and basically any reverse proxy. The process is the same, so you can follow tutorials, you just have to set up your domain through your pihole instance instead of a registrar. You can set pihole as your dns for specific devices, or you can set it as the default dns for your network through the router.
