- Comment on VPS provider 4 days ago:
Hosting from home is another option that can safe a lot of money over time.
Ionos has an really cheap 1€/month VPS that seems to be pretty good value for small things though.

This is unlikely to work and I doubt data protection agencies will bother with taking up your complaint.
- Comment on Sync-in, a new alternative to Nextcloud 1 week ago:
Nextcloud started out as file focused, and many people that run Nextcloud since a while now, consider most of the additional features to be unnecessary bloat; I for example stopped using Nextcloud because of its featuritis and abyssal performance.

- Comment on Sanity check - NAS with backups 4 weeks ago:
That seems unecessarily complex, but I guess you would need to explain more about your usecase.
P.S.: Samba is horrible 😅

- Comment on Building Cheap & Efficient Home Servers with... Laptops? | Hardware Haven 3 months ago:
Especially when starting out it can also be quite helpful to have a screen and keyboard attached to the server and not only SSH access.
To prevent battery issues it is often possible to limit the charge level in the bios.

- Comment on Hosting files on the LAN to trusted folks at a LAN party -- FTP? 3 months ago:
You could try this: github.com/drakkan/sftpgo
But in general for some quick adhoc file upload classic FTP is still not bad.

Samba on a Linux user meeting? lol 😅

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Debian is a good base for a server, but most people don’t bother with a fancy desktop on their server 😅
The machine is probably going to be a bit expensive to run 24/7 due to the old CPU and probably unecessary GPU, but it depends on the electricity prices where you live.
Start with some basic things you actually want to use. It’s not hard and you can figure out most things with some persistence and web searches.
- Comment on Hardware recommendations 3 months ago:
Many people like cheap refurbished thinclients, and Intel CPUs 6th gen or newer are not so bad on power consumption.
A RasberryPi has the advantage that you will find a lot of easy to follow guides and if you get a NVMe hat for it to have fast database storage then Nextcloud should be relatively happy (it is a bit bloated these days).
- Comment on bewCloud is a modern and simpler alternative to Nextcloud and ownCloud written in TypeScript 3 months ago:
I switched to github.com/kd2org/karadav from Nextcloud as I can continue using the Nextcloud apps and other WebDAV integrations. Together with www.filestash.app it makes for a quite nice and lightweight Nextcloud alternative.

It does work on the latest version of the default interface. There was a fix recently.

- Comment on Self-hosted blog options. 4 months ago:
I tend to use Hugo these days, which can be a bit janky as well, but there are nice themes for it.
If you want somethink really easy and Permacomputing compatible this looks pretty neat though: lichen.commoninternet.net
- Comment on Since militaries are authoritarian, even in democratic countries; What would a military of a stateless/anarchist society look like? 4 months ago:
The militias in Rojava (northern Syria) are kinda working that way. There are no real ranks and they were quite effective fighting ISIL and Turkish proxy forces in recent years.

Most of human history…hmm checks notes… since the invention of capitalism about 400 years ago, yes.
Even serfs under feudal lords had significantly more free time and while basic child labor was common, it was mostly in family run farms.

- Comment on IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 192 released [firewall] 5 months ago:
I went from OPNsense to IPfire 😎
Yes, it has less features, but most of the stuff in OPNsense is convoluted and rarely needed, and IPfire being a more standard Linux definitely helps customizing it further.
One of the big disadvantages of IPfire right now is that it is IPv4 only right now though. They plan to fix this for the next major release, but that is still a bit out I guess.
- Comment on Mastodon to GoToSocial Migration 5 months ago:
Its much leaner and also has some nice privacy/consent features that Mastodon lacks.

- Comment on Now that Trump is getting real chummy with Putin where does that leave China? 5 months ago:
Generally speaking Trump is not getting into an alliance with Russia, but rather joins the “multipolar” club of imperialists that want to carve out their own sphere of influence with out the others interfereing. China agrees with this but there are other reasons why the interests of the US and China still clash.
- Comment on Can I move my nextcloud account from a provider to my own server? 5 months ago:
You might be able to ask for a SQL database export that you could try to import into your own Nextcloud instance (with the same version).
