I do your second suggestion. I have a cheap ($5/mo) vps from digital ocean that proxies all the traffic to/from my home server via wireguard. There’s a few tutorials out there that explain how to configure iptables to forward traffic from one network interface to another on the vps.

And also cited OAS lmao!

Advice that older people give you is just them looking at their own regrets. You may not have the same ones, so take it with a grain of salt. You have your one life to live so do whatever you want.

After yoloing it for years, I finally deployed an offaite backup this month. I also host on Nextcloud (at my house). While I do have a local disk backing up my Nextcloud install, I didn’t have any backups of the external media hosting my photos.

Finally, I ordered a 10TB external drive and plugged it into a raspberry pi I had sitting around. Using wireguard and restic, I now have an offsite backup at a friend’s house!

I set mine up with Debian and Swizzin community edition.

When you run ipconfig in the windows terminal, it will give you a bunch of info. I can’t remember the exact name it will be, but it’s almost certainly going to be 192.168.something.something. The only other line that will look similar will be the ‘default gateway’, which will probably end with .1.

Go into the settings of that smb thingie on your iPhone, and change the address (192.168.etc) to match what the Windows machine says.

As for setting the static IP, I can help more if you tell me the make and model of your router.

Yes, you need to change the address on your iPhone. Beyond that, you should look at setting your router to give a static IP address to your Windows computer, so that it doesn’t ever change.

Take a look again. The 255.etc is probably the subnet mask. The actual IPv4 is probably 192.168.etc. Whatever that IP address is needs to match what you have set in your iPhone files location.

I’m so happy to be reminded that this dude is dead. He definitely deserved what he got, and the world is better off for it.

It would be cool if we had an app or server option to auto replace that character. As it is, I just ended up blocking the user.

You can manipulate that by spamming new posts.

I know an old geologist who has a peculiar hobby to amuse himself. He takes big rocks from somewhere they naturally occur, and transports them to remote areas where they have no business being. His idea is 100% to confuse future geologists.

It meets their needs and preferences, simple as that. I tried Arch in like 2008, and thought people were crazy for all the trouble it took back then. Nowadays there’s a lot of nice distros built on it, so you can get the benefits (such as they may be) without all the low-level tinkering.

Check out Yunohost. In my experience it is way easier to setup and manage than docker. I’ve been using it for years and it continues to improve and add more supported software.

Drop it on a cop from a high window.

It’s fine for other people, but I wouldn’t want it for myself.

I couldn’t find any “about” info anywhere.
