You really only need Storage. Backblaze B2/Wasabi/Cloudflare R2 if you can afford it, or just get a Hetzner storage box, attach it to the VM, run Minio and off you go.

You should do it on a VPS so that even if it gets infected your home network is not compromised

I’m afraid I do not follow. TrueNAS scale has support for kubernetes: install containers on top, maybe different containers for different fileshares/uses (one container for VM images, one for media etc).

Mount said network volumes on the compute boxes.

Just give him LMDE

Systemd is no longer just an init system, but the project began with Poettering’s dislike of other init systems. I use systemd and I do not like its performance (too slow in some cases).

The tragedy is that being an end-user, it is ridiculously hard to replace systemd on “regular” distros. Admittedly, Debian can be moved back to sysVinit without backbreaking work, but the fact is that distros don’t seem to have any intention of providing choice, making applications assume that systemd exists wherever they will be installed. That is the complaint I have against the Linux community

Why would you need a GUI for the init?

Explain how other init systems are necessarily worse than systemd

I’ve heard of s6 and runit alongside OpenRC as alternatives. I believe distros should make the init system agnostic of the rest of the software and not force users to stick with what they force them to do. Systemd is really slow.

What infuriates me more than distros playing the heavy hand in adopting it, are applications depending on it (I’M LOOKING AT YOU GNOME). This is completely unacceptable. If I find an application that doesn’t work without systemd, I either compile it to see if it will work otherwise or give up on it.

Maybe my view of systemd will change if I delete all of the other binaries and just use the init module. Who the fuck decided to put a fucking log in manager with the init system??? This is the feature bloat that I’m talking about and I hate it

I found this but it’s from a while back: https://h-mdm.com/advanced-web-panel-installation/

Not too many out there TBH. If I had a daughter she’d be getting a Pixel with Grapehene and a DNS server on it (different user) if she really didn’t have any self control

Create a new user and give explicit permissions via doas + SELinux (corporate style lockdown). And deal with network policies with a DNS filter on your LAN (or maybe run an unbound service on her device with a different user without a login so she can’t change the config). Easy

For Android, use a FOSS MDM

You’ve brought a strawman into the conversation, but in short, uBlock is best maintained and tends to be the most robust. Your solution works too

Clevis and Tang but even that can only really do so much.

Just encrypt storage on-site

Nice

The OG I2P program is written in Java, which might show behavior like you mentioned (didn’t stop immediately when stopping the service).

Please try I2PD, it’s written in C++

The point is that logs are generated and then deleted but companies who do not wish to keep such logs (e.g. IP address of client who connects to the VPN). I2P sure to it’s design, doesn’t even generate such incriminating logs (it might generate other kinds of logs which is a different discussion).

Thanks

VPNs usually do store your IP when you connect to them, even if they delete it later (it is technically impossible to not know the IP address of whoever is connecting to the VPN). And the likes of Mullvad and IVPN do not allow port-forwarding.

I will repeat what I said to the other commenter: please read the documentation. Being a router doesn’t mean that traffic and its contents can be linked to your identity. Data is broken down into chunks and encrypted along with metadata being scrambled. Unless there’s a zero day I’m unaware of, you are perfectly safe.

A VPN company can easily give up your details to the police who are now actively going after citizens. VPNs are not enough anymore.

Is there a problem with I2P adoption? I’m sensing a massive lack of interest from this thread

Install Gentoo on her MacBook

Thanks, saved

Would you know where I can find a guide to load balance I2P routers?
