They make a bunch of the other chips that go into computer devices, and from what I understand it's binary blob or nothing for a lot of it?

SGG ,

My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.

SGG ,

If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I'd really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.

Microsoft will release a GPO or MEM setting that works 20 percent of the time to turn off the constant AI data mining, only available to enterprise SKUs.

SGG ,

Don't forget that appdata nowadays has 3 sub folders, local, locallow, and roaming.

Also there's C:\programdata

Also some programs just store it in the user folder, the documents folder, or games/ my games folder if they are a game.

SGG ,

Oooh the registry is even more fun.

  • HKLM, HKCU? These are statements dreamt up by the utterly deranged
  • Store it in software, make your own root folder
  • Also for 32 bit programs there wow6432node
  • There's also the policies section, but this kind of makes sense to have it split off
  • Also make sure to follow the apple methodology of having multiple different key names like Apple, Apple inc., etc

HOW DOES SUCH A SMALL BEING MAKE SO MUCH POOP?!

How responsive is your Nextcloud?

My Nextcloud has always been sluggish — navigating and interacting isn't snappy/responsive, changing between apps is very slow, loading tasks is horrible, etc. I'm curious what the experience is like for other people. I'd also be curious to know how you have your Nextcloud set up (install method, server hardware, any other...

Mine is nice and quick in regards to the web interface and general functions. However I run it on a server at home and my upload speed isn't the best, so if I need to pull a larger file (Files On Demand enabled) then obviously the transfer speed of the file is a bit sluggish.

Hosted on a VM with 16GB RAM, 4 cores. Using the NextcloudAIO docker deployment option, all behind an Apache reverse proxy (I have a bunch of other services on another VM that all have reverse proxy access in place as well).

SGG ,

Nothing too special, just had to do some fiddling to get the Apache reverse proxy working correctly. Now I believe they have a pre-made example for it, but back then they only had nginx. I stick with Apache because that's still what I know. Might start learning nginx, but my main work isn't in web stuff.

Cameras above each door to gather data.

Ads on the doors.

Because EVERY SINGLE SQUARE INCH OF EVERY SURFACE MUST MAKE PROFIT.

I would complain and stop shopping there, and encourage others to complain as well. Hell leave the doors propped open to help people see what's inside, even though it'll run up their electricity bill and spoil the contents. Aslo remember to bring in one of those window-cracker car safety things and have a go at breaking the screens if you want to be even more rebellious.

SGG ,

Can confirm, it takes up so much space it's surprising they install it by default, my drive is like 99% free now.

Unrelated, but none of my files are in my documents folder anymore and I can't run steam, anyone know if they relied on the French language pack?

SGG ,

It was a joke, this time.

But back in my university days (holy shit I feel old, that was around 17 years ago), when flash drives were still new ish technology. I had installed a Linux live cd, which was a brand new idea back then, on my USB stick that also contained a bunch of my files.

I thought it would be a fun idea to rm -rf / to see what it would do to a live cd environment.

Then I realised it was not a fun idea as I started to see the names of my project documents being deleted.

It's a whatever question you ask engine. You can ask for the information directly and/or ask for sources to back it up.

vpn on nextcloud? (kbin.social)

I plan to selfhost nextcloud, for now just for bookmark sync. is there a point to installing a vpn on the computer running the instance? it shouldnt matter as long as i have https right? what about if i dont have a domain? i cant have https without a domain (ill buy one later just want everything to work first). or maybe use one...

SGG ,

In very basic terms, and why you want to do them:

Attack surface is the ports and services you are exposing to the internet. Keep this as small as possible to reduce the ways your setup can be attacked.

Network topology is the layout of your home network. Do you have multiple vlans/subnets, firewalls that restrict traffic between internal networks, a DMZ is probably a simple enough approach that is available on some home grade routers. This is so if your server gets breached it minimises the amount of damage that can be done to other devices in the network.

Why is this even a comparison? India only went to the moon, interstellar had to go to other freaking solar systems and a black hole to make their documentary!
