  • I have a rack in my garage.

    My advice, keep it simple, keep it virtual.

    I dumpster dove for hardware and run proxmox on hosts. Not even clustered, just simple stand alone proxmox hosts. Connect to my Synology storage device and done.

    I run next cloud for webDav contacts and calendar (fuck Google), it does photo and do. Storage. The next client is free from F-Droid for Android and works on debian desktops like a charm.

    I run Minecraft server

    I run home automation server

    I run a media server.

    Proxmox backs everything up on schedule

    All I need to do is get off-site backup setup for Synology important data and I’m all set.

    It’s really not as hard as you think if you keep it simple






  • From experience, with facial scan or fingerprint scan available on Apple, 3rd party app require it. E.g. okta MFA login, for those with apple phones, using face scan can be forced. I know you are free to decline and free to quit the company requiring it, but just like any new data set, you soon won’t be able to live without providing it.

    Remember when a social security number was introduced, gov promised it wouldn’t be used as a identification number for any other purpose . Forward 50 years and now you can’t do anything without it.



  • They are just delaying the vote for another time… Hoping that next time it will fly under the radar and there won’t be a huge backlash of discontent.

    If the vote fail, they just wait a year, rename it, and try again.

    Same thing happens in the US. Law proposed that people hate, people organize, start a campaign that fights for news airtime, bringing awareness of the dickery about to happen, and then succeed after a hard battle and many many volunteer hours spent.

    In 6 months Congress just renames it the “I love kittens” act and sticks it on a must pass bill.

    Fighting bullshit laws is exhausting…
