Damn, that sounds very interesting! The use of a Keepass DB instead of a new one makes it great to have as option. It’s something I hadn’t think about for a long time.

I’ll check it out later and maybe install it after I restore my server, I’m planning to reduce my attack surface too:)

Damn, those stories scare me a lot because I can’t afford good enough backups right now, so I rely on mirroring via Syncthing what I can and using an USB for my server (fortunately I don’t have a lot of personal things). All the family memories are in multiple locations and devices so I don’t have the time (nor storage) to backup those lol

Because of my situation, it takes me some time to save even for second hand things (I just bought a CPU and a new voltage regulator). I’m planning on buying some used HDDs as secondary storage and one as an external. Slowly but surely D:

Well, OP didn’t say what was their situation. I’m behind a CG-NAT so I’d need a VPS or something similar for which I’d have to pay, and I don’t have the budget right now. I understand the concern, but OP is looking to reduce the time needed to setup things.

You seem to have almost everything under control and already planned. For the VPN I’d suggest Tailscale since it’s the easiest VPN to set up (if you don’t have a public IP). You can do a lot of things with it, but if you only want the basics, then there’s not much reading to do. Some people recommend ZeroTier, but I havent tried it, tbh.

BTW, I would keep in mind that Tailscale is planning to go IPO (if you care about that):

Thank you! That’s really helpful for the plans I have :)

May I ask what are the specs and size of those Thinkcentres? I have one I’m using as a server and planning to upgrade the CPU because it has a dual core one, and someone offered me the same one I have, but it’s pretty big. I’d prefer to use the tiny models when I can buy some :D

Same here in México, a lot of people think their dual core Intel from 2011 (and even older than that) is still worth more than +$100USD. Even worse, companies usually want to resell devices to recover some of the cost, so even that option is kind of expensive. I’m waiting for some friends that can buy company devices for cheap so they can resell them to me for cheap too lol

Hey, I also sway my foot while using the terminal!

We’re 10 years early, it was supposed to happen on 2035 😭

Same. I mean, I was already looking to rent a VPS, but at least there’s some time so I can save money until things get weird.

Good. I hope that kills completely the Saguaro Project :D

Thanks for pointing that out. I think some are also supported in KWin:)

I don’t know if it’s been updated recently, but take into account that LXQT doesn’t support global shortcuts yet ☝️

It works well, but it’s still missing features; as they say: it’s experimental right now.

Too many times I’ve been at the very limit of failing to deliver an assignment. I used to have classes from morning to night (used to get home at 23:00) and sometimes I did homework at uni and scan/upload in my computer since camera-scanned documents don’t look as good, so I had to deliver them ASAP, but Windows would take a LOT of time to load Teams and sometimes it started applying updates at startup, so it would be SLOW AS HELL.

Just some days ago it happened again (the homework was assigned a day before) so I booted up windows and what a surprise (/s) it started applying updates, so Teams wouldn’t even open. I had to send the files from there to my linux computer (I love you, KDE connect!) because I still had to add some things to the document and Teams for Linux loaded in a second lol

I’m still using Docker Rootless, which I want to change for Podman since Rootless is second-class for Docker, but I haven’t been able to read the documentation enough to understand Podman Quadlets to migrate my compose files, and there are some incompatible configurations so even if using podlet, I have to edit some things manually.

I also want to migrate to MicroOS if possible in my server, but I’m still testing things in a VM to understand enough and the cost-benefit u.u

This has happened in México too, the most famously recorded one was during Enrique Peña Nieto’s term (sorry for linking to YT). They said the flag thing was an accident, but it was during the Flag Day and everyone was angry with the way the government was handling things. The government-influenced media was angry with the military because “they made a mistake”, but we all knew why it happened.

I’m self-hosting in a 500GB HDD, 2 cores AMD A6, 8GB RAM thinkcentre (access for LAN only) that I got very cheap.

It could be better, I’m going to buy a new computer for personal use and I’m the only one in my family who uses the hosted services, so upgrades will come later 😴

She has Jewish ancestry, but she’s said she does not practice religion.

If you do or know someone that will do, please take into consideration that the housing market in México, right now, has been favoring foreigners and that in some areas, they’ve displaced the locals and raised prices so much that they can’t afford to be there anymore (be for shopping, working, etc.). Please don’t contribute to this and research before, do not try to pay in euros/dollars, come legally and work legally.

I use Tab Stash if I’m about to close/restart the browser or I changed the focus of my research, but if I don’t wanna lose some keywords or something, I prefer to use KNotes (or any sticky notes) and write why some keywords are important and their context, so I don’t have to maintain too many open tabs. Just yesterday I had like 15 tabs and was overwhelmed lol
