My main worry is that if I lose my phone or it’s stolen, especially if I’m overseas,I won’t be able to access a lot of sites due to the 2 factor authentication. A lot of sites don’t have alternative 2fa methods, only SMS or through the app. I’ve been trying to think of a way to access these sites if overseas and my phone gets lost or stolen, the only thing I can think of is to take my sim out and hide it, and buy a local sim when in a new country. If I need 2FA I put in my old sim, but for day to day stuff use the local sim. If the phone gets stolen / lost, I’ve not lost the 2FA capability.

I posted the same movie before seeing this. I wish they would make a TV series of these books instead of Foundation. I thought the movie was a good robot movie, but was very disappointed that it didn’t follow the books.

I, Robot - extremely disappointed that it didn’t follow the books, but I’ve watched it several times and if you pretend it came out under a different title it’s a good robot movie.

When I went to see this in the theatre, I was the only one there. Only time it’s ever happened.

I just bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre M710Q Mini Tiny Desktop PC Computer i5 6400T 1TB SSD Win 10 Pro from Ebay for $289 AUD and plugged in some oldish external SSDs and HDDs and now have 10TB of storage. I’m really pleased with it, it took about half an hour to install Proxmox and I’ve now got 5 VMs up and running.

I wouldn’t recommend a WD My Cloud Home - it’s not a NAS as such, it’s a bit limited; I’d go for a Synology. or One Drive as you suggest - a 1TB plan is quite reasonable with regards to cost.

I did some IT work at a hospital, patient records including names, addresses, conditions and doctor’s notes (inc mental health notes) were stored in the database in plain text. You had to have admin access to the database (which I did), but I was stunned that I could browse anyone’s entire medical information. A few weeks after I left I sent an anonymous email to a couple of people letting them know how bad it was - I didn’t use my real one just in case they may have come after me for looking at the records.

Thanks for the responses; it seems I can’t really do it. I looked into ZFS but if I use that it halves the available disk space to 2TB. I’m using the VM for a media server and thought it would be better to have 1 4TB space instead of 2 2TB disks. At the end of the day it isn’t a big deal, I just thought I’d be able to present both disks as 1.

I use uptime kuma for monitoring - really easy to set up and very versatile

But I can see this embolden racists / homophobes. They are generally dumb, and will probably refuse to serve people citing this decision and will either end up in court or get away with it.

I don’t have kids but am perfectly happy to pay more tax to make education free or cheaper. How can anyone argue that a less educated society is better? The more people that can experience higher education is plainly a good thing. There could be someone out there who could make a medical or technological breakthrough but doesn’t get the chance because they can’t afford to go to college.

Thanks for all the suggestions - I think Tailscale is the way to go, it didn’t take me long to set up and there is a client for all my devices.

Adding my 2c - I think it depends on if you want something that just works out of the box, or if you want to tinker and play with a DIY solution. I have a Synology DS220+ that just works, is easy to manage, has loads of apps etc. I also have a Raspberry Pi with Openmediavault installed and 3 SSDs attached which required a bit of setup, is more complex to get things working, also has apps (plugins) but is more of a project.

I know, for all intensive purposes it’s maddening.

Can it do legs?

I’ve lost count of the docker containers / hosted stuff I’ve spun up, only to realise I don’t use it. It’s fun though. Bitwarden, Owncloud, NextCloud, Openmediavault, homepage, Jellyfin are just a few I can remember.

That’s a pretty good response from the subs.

This is what worries me - an instance creator terminates the instance for whatever reason, then all the accounts and posts are gone. Or the creator could hold the instance hostage - “Hey guys, costs are building up and I’m going to have to shut it down unless people donate”
