But that constitutes alcohol abuse

Considering some of the flatmates I’ve had, I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive.

I think the damage was caused by feral hogs, not fire.

Any system beyond a vanilla install will need some tweaks to fit your use case(s). And these tweaks often end up as a stack of glass boxes over time, unless meticulously planned and purpose built from the beginning.

As long as it’s manageable and secure, don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “operational”.

Wanting to rebuild from scratch is pretty common. The question is whether you need to and should. You have to weigh cost and work hours up against any benefits to figure out the answer.

No, just one. You set up one device/server as a VPN gateway (often called VPN concentrator), and you will have access to anything the concentrator has access to on your home network.

Either you use your VPN concentrator as your jump box, or you set up routing and firewalls to be able to access them directly.

I have no experience with OMV specifically, but generally making things accessible from outside your house means exposing it ti the internet.

However, what you can do is to only expose an openvpn port, so that to gain access as if you were at home you could connect via o0envpn first.

rsync if it’s a from/to I don’t need very often

More common transfer locations are done via NFS

I think servants to help put them on are pretty much a necessity.

People are, understandably, so tired of both blockchain, that posts on the topic will gather a lot of downvotes by the mere mention of it, even the few ones that are insightful and interesting, as opposed to the usuall techbro shill.

The only reason why my uptime is only a month is because I took my PC with me on a work trip which involved packing it.

DO NOT call the police. They will confiscate the server as evidence, and lacking any other suspect, you will be their primary lead. Police aren’t about convictions or justice, they want to consider a case solved.

By law, you are not liable. But because of law enforcement incentives, it will absolutely become your problem.

Sounds like such a block would be highly dependant on a specific recorder + driver combo. In the name of science I’ll do some experimentation tonight.

UPDATE: Worked just fine for me.

Netflix running Bojack Horseman in Firefox under Linux Mint, stock NVIDIA 550 driver, and replay-magic as screen recorder.

There’s probably a better way, but you could go for a low-brow approach: use a screen recorder on your PC and let the video play. Then you trim the recording and encode it to your format of choice.

Are you asking how to torrent something, or how to rip it from the Amazon stream directly?

Mandrake was the 2nd distro I tried some 25 years ago.

Pacific Ocean -> Vancouver Ocean
Atlantic Icean -> St. John Ocean

I have no first hand experience, but I read about it here recently:

He has another post named “20 months…etc”, where he has done something tweaks and upgrades, and it’s all good.

Source?

I’m hearing good things about Framework, provided you get the hinge upgrade.

If you need something beefier, personally I’m using a Lenovo Legion 7 (2024 version… that white one, bought it a few months ago), and I’m loving it. Linux Mint worked out of the box, but I chose to replace the stock wifi driver with a better one.

This is the same crowd who danced to RATM - Killing in the Name during their blue lives matter phase. Irony is a foreign word to them, and we know how well they like foreigners.
