It’s not very effective.

I get it for personal or even business use on a small scale is great. I use Linux daily, I’m a sysadmin and manage windows and Linux servers. My main desktop is windows. I’m considering switching my home pc over to Linux again since generally (from what I hear) gaming works mostly and that was what used to always bring me back to windows. Now I don’t really game that much anymore anyway so it may not even really matter that much for me.

But for a business that has hundreds or thousands of user devices that they need to secure, configure, meet compliance, etc, how would they do that with a Linux distribution? Microsoft has active directory and group policy to manage this kind of thing (and now moving toward AAD and intune to manage device configuration) but I have yet to see any kind of Linux desktop distribution that has a central configuration management, patch management and security management. Sure you can configure it to auto update and send it out hoping for the best, but what happens when a device stops checking in, or the VPN client breaks, or there is some software we need to push out to all our users immediately? What choice do we have?

But what happens if someone has a savings and happens to have say $50k in there and then they’re hit with a health issue that incurs a $25k hospital bill? Can they then come after you for payment if you have the money in savings?

Don’t know about beehaw but lemmy.world was really getting on my nerves with how slow it was and how often it was down. Lemm.ee has been a much better experience for me.

I agree but you could easily fool me with the amount of brand new trucks and suvs I see driving around. Prices will not go down if everyone keeps paying them. And then there are people that can’t afford to buy groceries but they have their brand new jeep wagoneer that cost like $80k… that just further drives up prices because you have people that can’t afford it still paying the premium, still driving the demand, so the dealers can get away with charging whatever they want.

I’m a big fan of duplicati. You can install it on Linux, windows, (not sure about mac) and use it to send backups anywhere. Backup to your nas, to s3, smb share, whatever.

That’s fair, we should all test our backups from time to time. I haven’t had any issues over the years with it though i’ve never had to rely on it for a full restore.

I use it to send backups to backblaze b2 also, it works very well for me.

I use nginx proxy manager with dns challenge to get a *.example.com cert that I then use to host services internally. I just checked, it supports dns challenge for porkbun, you may want to give it a try again. Also, you shouldn’t really need to forward dns to duckdns. You can have public dns records point to an internal ip.

This is what I do, I have example.com (dns registered with cloudflare but should work the same with porkbun) I then create an a record for portainer.example.com to 192.168.0.5.

Internally my nginxproxymanager is running at 192.168.0.5 and portainer is running at https://192.168.0.6:9443

Then in nginxproxymanager I create a dns challenge (you’ll have to look up some videos on how to do this, it’s not very difficult it usually just takes a api key and secret key) then I create a new proxy host for portainer.example.com pointing to https://192.168.0.6:9443 and you select the *.example.com as your ssl cert for the proxy host

Now internally go to https://portainer.example.com and it should work.

This is exactly right, the big traditional auto makers were watching tesla,using them as a research experiment, and now are starting to build out their own EVs. Once it becomes viable for these automakers to produce many modules we will see lots of competition in the market, tesla will be completely overrun. There’s no way tesla can keep up with production powerhouses like Ford, and Toyota.
