Having just jumped over I might be bottom of the priority list for company communications.

Guess I’m a low-value client.

I might do so as well to avoid the next decade of shopping around.

I know there are other factors it just feels like the only people getting screwed are the little guys. In Canada the rates that third party ISPs pay and charge are dictated by the giant telcos. Our regulating body even allowed the telcos to raise prices to the point where reselling is no longer viable. Fucking the little guys again.

Docker kinda does it by being like an app store but for servers. It’s not very flexible but everyone using a particular image gets the same experience.

Ubuntu has a bigger market share in the support department. Makes it easier to find advice that applies specifically to your setup.

This is the way. I run stock Debian with LXC, you get what you ask for and that’s it.

I was with Google Domains but switched to Namecheap. They are easy enough to work with and not the most expensive.

I’m not sure about having a non-oem drive installed but they may wipe it.

In 2022 I bought a P15 gen2, after the first week I plugged in the charger and something blew on the motherboard, I sent it out for service and got it back after about 3 weeks. They mention that any drives may be wiped, when they repaired mine the OS was reinstalled despite being seemingly unrelated to the charger issue. They also replaced my i5 mainboard with an i7 so I have no complaints.

With an upgrade to 8GB of ram it works pretty good. Well enough that it could run multiple virtual machines or do some light gaming (HL2/Portal/TF2).

Who needs fuses anyway.

I bought a W500 in 2008 and it was/is the best laptop I have ever owned. I bought a P15 Gen2 in 2022 and it’s been good. Performance and features are 10/10 but hardware support was a little wonky for Debain. No support on 10 and 11, 12 has some bugs. That’s not a fault of the ThinkPad but this is the first time in years that I have had to work so hard to get basic features going.

Also there was that time it shot sparks out of the charge port but they upgraded me from an i5 to an i7 so I’d call that neutral.

KeePassXC/KeeWeb + WebDAV is a kick-ass combo that covers every device while also being as simple as possible.

Lazy users is why Reddit blotted out individual forums.

Super impressed with Sharry, I love the QR codes for sharing with mobile users.

I set my 403 to just return “I don’t know you.”

Hey, this isn’t where I parked my car.

Looks like you solved it but I moved from Google DNS to Namecheap and it works well. I use multiple subdomains and certbot without issue.

If you use strong passwords and keep an eye on your logs you are no less safe than any other public facing entity. I’ve had a bunch of services exposed since 2020 so far no one has even bothered to brute the basic auth on Apache (though bot nets take a run at SSH a few times a year).
