Regarding the title thing. Lots of news sites will have multiple titles that get swapped at random. The different wordings increase the click through rate. You might not be interested in title 1,2 or 3, but title 4 gets you to click.

But as for change logs for the actual article, none that I know of. The best you normally see is something like “last edited 5 minutes ago”

Stakeholders that want a payout will demand the data be sold to the highest bidder.

And other companies will probably be interested in said data and willing to buy.

I would like for it to be destroyed as well, but capitalism going to capitalism.

Yep, Gucci and Louis Vuitton on the prowl.

Honestly, this does explain why vendors like HP seem to have every possible combo of device available in their business class laptops as Intel CPU options, but it’s sometimes like pulling teeth to get equivalent AMD options.

It’s sometimes a PITA if a client specifically wants an AMD machine for some reason.

If a school provides a device to a student to take home there’s two possible outcomes.

1. They provide a managed device, and with any management tool, there’s a way to invade privacy, intended or not.

2. They provide an unmanaged device and get sued by parents for letting their"innocent snowflake" access unwanted content.

In both instances there’s something to legitimately complain about, but I still say the first option is the better one. The problem comes with oversight and auditing on the use of those management tools.

Not to mention that even with the second option of unmanaged devices, invasion of privacy can still occur if students are stupid enough to use the school provided accounts (Google, 365,etc)

Yarrrrrr indeed

Companies see that as a mistake. They want you on a subscription for life that they can arbitrarily change at any time.

Profits not increasing enough for this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.

Profits increased amazingly this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.

Profits down? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads, and start adding extra paywalls to some content

They want you to own nothing. Oh you unsubscribed? Sorry even the content you paid extra to unlock was only available while your subscription continued, you will need to start your subscription again and then pay to unlock the content again.

A show isn’t popular enough? Better write it off, pull it from all distribution so you can claim it as a tax write off

If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.

My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.

Nothing too special, just had to do some fiddling to get the Apache reverse proxy working correctly. Now I believe they have a pre-made example for it, but back then they only had nginx. I stick with Apache because that’s still what I know. Might start learning nginx, but my main work isn’t in web stuff.

Mine is nice and quick in regards to the web interface and general functions. However I run it on a server at home and my upload speed isn’t the best, so if I need to pull a larger file (Files On Demand enabled) then obviously the transfer speed of the file is a bit sluggish.

Hosted on a VM with 16GB RAM, 4 cores. Using the NextcloudAIO docker deployment option, all behind an Apache reverse proxy (I have a bunch of other services on another VM that all have reverse proxy access in place as well).

In very basic terms, and why you want to do them:

Attack surface is the ports and services you are exposing to the internet. Keep this as small as possible to reduce the ways your setup can be attacked.

Network topology is the layout of your home network. Do you have multiple vlans/subnets, firewalls that restrict traffic between internal networks, a DMZ is probably a simple enough approach that is available on some home grade routers. This is so if your server gets breached it minimises the amount of damage that can be done to other devices in the network.

The first year price is a “loss leader” discount. Get you in the door, then make a profit from you in future.

Namecheap have a bit of a reputation (as can be seen here with a few people warning of poor support), Spaceship seems to be a bit of a offshoot/addition they have created, partly as it doesn’t seem to be a 1-1 comparison, and partly maybe to avoid their existing reputation?

However, it’s not entirely a bad idea to separate your registrar from your DNS provider. If one goes down, you still have access to the other to make changes. I used namecheap in the past because it was cheap, and cloudflare for DNS. If you are using both for only your registrar, it probably won’t matter much at all as you are probably not changing nameservers often, if at all, once set.

If you are going to use your desktop, I would suggest putting all of the self-hosted services into a VM.

This means if you decide you do want to move it over to dedicated hardware later on, you just migrate the VM to the new host.

This is how I started out before I had a dedicated server box (refurb office PC repurposed to a hypervisor).

Then host whatever/however you want to on the VM.

Is it possible that people browsing anonymously and/or logging in with the same account on multiple apps influenced the numbers?

I admit that I’ve been bouncing between Sync and Boost since the release. I like both for slightly different reasons.

Next day: Find out the fix causes a new edge-case error, start all over again.

I’ve been using Trilium (https://github.com/zadam/trilium). There are desktop clients, no mobile clients. However the web interface works well enough for me that I don’t mind. The notes update in near-realtime when you make edits through the web app on multiple machines (assuming internet connectivity of course).

If you’re already self-hosting NextCloud you might want to look NextCloud Notes as well.

If you move to office 365, it is possible to create an email transport rule to handle this. Effectively any non existent address gets sent to the mailbox your specify.

Yes, they aren’t the cheapest option, and it gets meme’d that it should be called office 364,363, etc, but it is a solid service.

What do you mean by “just as good”.

It really depends on if you mean amount of content, or are ok with there only being maybe one post a day but that being a quality post worthy of discussion.

Í want to hear about both to be honest.

Very loosely it would act as a caching or proxy service from what I understand.

My understanding is that when you subscribe to community “x” on server “y”, that your server “z” starts to download all of the content from that community so it can serve it to you locally. I don’t know how fast the activitypub protocol would fetch new posts/comments, if it’s real-time, or some kind of intermittent pull or push.
