Hmmm .. ๐ค The best way not to make friends with somebody with over 30 years of coding experience: suggest him to use ChatGPT to write a computerprogram ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Wauw! So many answers in such a short time. Thanks all! ๐ (I will not spam the channel by sending a thank you to all but this is really greatly apriciated)
Concerning ncurses. I did hear of it but never looked at it myself. What is not completely clear for me. I know you can use it for 'low-level' things, but does it also include 'high-level' concepts like windows, input fields and so?
The blog mentioned in one of the other posts only shows low-level things.
This is a typical mail a phishing campaign would send out, and we have already said to people "never believe this kind of messages. They are all fake.
Now, if a genuine company sends out mails with a genuine gift-cards (what the article on techcrunch seems to indicate) .. this is NOT helpfull at all!!!
And that comming from a cybersecurity company (rolling-eyes)
What was that saying again?
"the biggest thread to the safety and cybersecurity of the citizens of a country ... are managers who think that cybersecurity is just a number on an exellsheet"
(I don't know where I read this, but I think it really hits the nail on the head)
Yes. Fair point.
On the other hand, most of the disaster senarios you mention are solved by geographic redundancy: set up your backup // DRS storage in a datacenter far away from the primary service. A scenario where all services,in all datacenters managed by a could-provider are impacted is probably new.
It is something that, considering the current geopolical situation we are now it, -and that I assume will only become worse- that we should better keep in the back of our mind.
Well, the issue here is that your backup may be physically in a different location (which you can ask to host your S3 backup storage in a different datacenter then the VMs), if the servers themselfs on which the service (VMs or S3) is hosted is managed by the same technical entity, then a ransomware attack on that company can affect both services.
So, get S3 storage for your backups from a completely different company?
I just wonder to what degree this will impact the bandwidth-usage of your VM if -say- you do a complete backup of your every day to a host that will be comsidered as "of-premises"
Hi,
What is the reason you do not want a domain? it is not that DNS-domains are that expensive these days. The cheapest option I found is .ovh (which is one of the major cloud-providers in France), which is 3 euro / year (+VAT). You can then put as much hosts or subdomains under it, and it supports dynamic IP.
Agreed, .ovh is not the most "professional" looking domain, but it depends on what you want to do. If your goal is simply to have something for yourself / family / friends, then this is good enough.
BTW. Having your own domain for a nextcloud instance has additional advances: you can get a real https/tls certificate from letsencrypt, and -if you put a reverse proxy in front of your NC- it shields you from people who just scan the complete IP-space of the internet but who do not know your domain.

A /48 is quite overkill for a home customer. Do you have 65536 LANs at home? Here in Belgium, we get a /56.
just out of interest .. somebody here on satellite? I am interested to know the prices for sat services out there?
I dan't know if this is still valid but I used to be told to have different partitions for your system, logs and data (home directories) .. and have the swap-partition located in between them. This was to limit the distance the head has to move when reading from your system starts swapping.
But if you use a SSD drive, that is not valid anymore of course :-)

ah. That looks very interesting. And they have a show here in the EU, and it seems to work with gadgetbridge (thx Lambda RX :-))
Thanks!
