Hi everyone! Since I was absolutely fucked by Skiff (thank fuck I didn’t pay for it) I’m looking for a new email provider :) I’m not sure I like how proton is transforming into a full on suit, I only need email. Any other recommendations or is proton my only choice really?
It’s not about “using an underdog”, I just like “do one thing and do it well” philosophy you know. I don’t need drives, calendars, vpn, password manager, in one thing. I want a simple email provider that’s it.
Yeah skiff wasn’t like that but it seemed not too push it as much, just “hey it’s there you can use it” not full on products. Maybe I’m just being stupid about it idk
True… People also recommend having your own domain so I can switch easily in the future. Having my surname seems a bit… un-privacy-like lol Any recommendations for that?
Linux needs to grow. Stop telling people it's 'tech-y' or acting like you're more advanced for using it, you are scaring away people. Linux Mint can be used by a senile person perfectly....
As much as I like the premise, the average Joe doesn’t care.
It is techy, as long as it’s not seamless to transition, average person won’t bother.
What a person knows already > all of the other benefits. That’s why people use Photoshop and not GIMP.
If they need to dual boot, forget it. “Can’t I just use windows instead if I have to switch anyway?”
If they can’t install it themselves, they won’t bother learning the system. Say what you want but I think Windows still shits itself less than Linux. And when it does there is a lot more people who can help without typing in cryptic commands into the terminal.
For Linux to become more popular, more open standards would need to be mainstream. Leave Adobe, MS Office and other proprietary software that everyone uses. It’s like asking people to stop using PDFs because YOU a techy person think MD is better or whatever.
Yeah, “ease of use” wasn’t the best argument, the rest still stands though. I shouldn’t have brought it up. I myself hate the UI a lot. Don’t care what they add, change the UI
Hi! I have a NUC with 250GB SSD inside. It’s running everything from pihole through arr apps to 3d printing frontend. Since my family is starting to think “hey that’s a good idea can I use it too”, 250GB is starting to be not enough....
Thanks, I’ll consider it. I’ll see what others say.
You’re right that 250G should be enough. Right now it takes 10G for 30 containers. But it was a mistake to make an only 20G root partition lol. This overlay2 folder sure grows
As much as I would have fun learning about RAID and stuff, I don’t think I need so much space and money spent right now. I will probably just buy one drive for now. If needed, I’ll buy another one.
Do you recommend any special HDDs? Or something to watch out for? As the drive is going to be running 24/7 basically.
Please can someone show off how smart and sexy they are by answering these questions. I don't mind if you just link me to a video or guide explaining it (like I'm 5?) instead of typing it out - but please don't just send me stuff that says something like "To forward to ports correctly, simply forward the correct ports - but be...
wlan and eth are network adapters in your raspberry Pi probably. Not subnets. Subnet is a range of IP addresses the router can use to give out IP addresses to devices. Basically, let’s assume that the router/the local network has only one subnet 192.168.1.0/24. This number means, the router can give out IP addresses from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.254. If the router had two subnets, let’s say A: 192.168.1.0/24 B: 192.168.2.0/24 device on subnet A, would be able to talk to the device on subnet B.
Either way, in my opinion you’re overcomplicating things a lot for yourself. If you only wish to watch from home, on your couch, you don’t need reverse proxies, cloudflare and all that jazz. Docker and raspberry pi is enough. I can walk you through it if you want :)
So an IP address is divided into four section separated by dots. 123.123.123.123. Each of those section can go from 0 to 255, so 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. Why this number? There is 256 numbers from 0 to 255, and 256 is the biggest number you can make out of 8 bits. (If you’re interested in binary, please look it up, this is already long haha) If every number between the . can be made out of 8 bits that means the whole IP address is 32 bits. It’s 32 bits cos that’s what was convenient when it was decided basically. Makes sense?
Now, the subnets. Each network can be divided into sub networks or subnets. Subnets fall into 5 classes: ABCDE. D and E aren’t used as much so I don’t know much about them.
Class A: Subnet mask is 255.0.0.0
Class B: Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
Class C: Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
A subnet mask determines how many bits are reserved for the network, and how many bits are used for hosts (devices). Basically, each IP address is divided into a network part and a host part. Network part is used for identifying networks and how many you can make, while host part is used for identifying hosts/devices like your phone or PC or whatever and how many can be connected.
In class A, with 255.0.0.0, the first number is reserved for the network, and the other 3 for the devices for example.
In class A you have a small amount of possible subnets but a big number of devices, and the opposite in class C.
The 24 after the slash is just a different way of saying 255.255.255.0, called CIDR notation. 255.0.0.0 is /8 and 255.255.255.0 is /16.
So depending on the subnet class, what the numbers mean differs. Well except the port and CIDR subnet mask.
All in all, all you need to know is that your router most likely has one subnet lol

Hi guys! I think I'm over Joplin. Don't get me wrong, it's simple, it works, but… why is it Postgres db…. I have the server on a small box with like 250 GB of space and backing it up with kopia to Backblaze with free 10 GB, so I'm a bit storage cautious....
You are right, I should. They are a bit more complicated than I anticipated, and apparently I'm doing everything wrong, haha. I have backups set up to go 2 years back, but I'm checking backblaze occasionally to check, so it shouldn't be an issue. I have two months so far lol Thanks for the write-up :)
I use it just as a simple as possible, instructions on how I setup backups, important thing about container’s config, etc etc. I find it easier to just have a folder “Server” and put each container in a separate note or folder. It’s too much thinking about tags, links, pages and all in logseq, notes seem all over the place.
Please don’t follow joplins folder/notes view. It’s so stupid that folders and notes are in different panels on the left. Just make it a normal list.
I like joplin for its simplicity. No bells and whistles like obsidian.
Docker container would be awesome, but I don’t care for Google drive personally :) If you make the notes folder a volume I can bind to that would be great, as long as they’re normal files haha
Awesome, thanks! For now I’ll stay on the db without backups. Joplin saves copies to other devices so if something fails, I still have the other devices :)
