Depends on how you write out “nine to five”. 9-5 is just 4 and obviously quite small, but 9^5 is even bigger and therefore more betterer than 777

What’s stopping you from connecting it to the local network but denying internet access? E.g. via a firewall rule or separate VLAN?

Gemini auf die Eier

Uhm this is exactly why you only store already-encrypted data on remote servers

If that happens to you, that’s both a great reminder that mindlessly copy-pasting commands from the internet is a terrible idea, and a chance to practice your restore-from-backup routine! I see no downsides.

I like obsidian specifically because you don’t need to rely on some built-in sync tool. The files are right there and in a sane format, you can sync them however you want. I use syncthing for this at home, but the choice is yours

Why use a fancy GUI tool when good old dd does the trick

It eludes me how people pay to ‘buy’ something that they cannot download in the first place. If I don’t have it as a file on my computer, I don’t own it. You wouldn’t pay to ‘buy’ a physical item if that meant only being able to look at it at the store, without the ability to take it home and do whatever you want with it.

Why openvpn? Last I checked wireguard has significantly better performance (plus it’s built into the kernel already)

Seek these nuts

Do you actually have 10G switches and network cards, or is everything behind your router on 1G?

Have you verified that? I would start by checking (with wireshark) for any non-wireguard traffic coming from your machine

There are small SATA backplanes that allow you to fit 3 HDDs into two 5.25" slots (or 4 HDDs in 3 slots). You can find used ones for cheap (mine was 30€), and with some cheap tower case you could get something NAS-like with hot-swap drive bays for way cheaper

They shouldn’t be able to see anything except encrypted wireguard traffic. Are you sure all torrent-related traffic is going through the VPN (e.g. requests to indexers) and that traffic stops flowing when the VPN connection drops?

Use a VPN? If you’re using containers, you can bind qbittorrent to gluetun to prevent leaks

Article about encryption technology that doesn’t even mention the ol’ reliable PGP you can use over any communication channel?

And many mainboards also suck in this regard. On mine, I can set secure boot mode to either ‘Windows OS’ (which means secure boot on) or ‘Other OS’ (which means secure boot is off). Took me a couple hours to figure that out

I get your perspective, but wouldn’t everyone involved also have to learn how to deal with macOS? Learning how to deal with Linux isn’t necessarily more complicated

May I interest you in Linux?
