I use a couple of mini pcs in exactly the setup you are talking about. Only downside is throughput. Anything built in is gonna be faster for read write ops, but usb3 is plenty fast for most things including media and data sync. I run Ubuntu with ZFS, and created raid arrays for data redundancy. It works really well. I virtualize using Incus with docker inside of those tiny VMs. It’s awesome.

 

It makes me really sad to realize Mike Judge was only wrong about one thing in Idiocracy... that it would take 400 years for us to get there...because here we are, not even 20 years later.

I use the tp-link EAP615 wall Apps, they are great and run OpenWRT like a champ.

You might look into Netdata, I think it meets your requirements, it’s essentially plug and play, but I believe you can add alerts as well. Been a while since I looked at it, but they’ve put out some big updates lately.

Glad you got Coturn working, what was it?

Haven’t messed with retention and deletion yet. Not enough data to mess with it so far.

Just and FYI those are my pages and Video, and I also don’t have sliding sync working yet. I work on it here and there, but other than Element X, I’ve had no issues getting clients to connect to my servers running dendrite. I’ll update those docs, and probably do an update video when I get it working on Dendrite.

Is it Ironic that I want to say “Amen” to this statement?

None of these things will change the minds of the people who support Trump. Humans, sadly, have an aversion to anything that threatens their beliefs. We have a law that says a convicted felon can't vote in an election, and yet, no law to prevent that same felon from running for, and winning political office. The founding fathers, likely, never imagined a convicted felon would run for office, and even moreso that the people of this county would vote for him.

Actually police (and governments) don’t need to purchase your data. They can gather anything and everything from what people share publicly and constantly on social media. Countless numbers of people have been arrested because of what they shared publicly and the metadata included with that share.

If they need criminal info they have immediate access to it.

The concern isn’t that you do something wrong, it’s that the data that you put out there can be used against you in countless ways. Marketing, sales, and so on are the least of your worries. If anyone wants to threaten you, your loved one’s, or even trick you into thinking they are in a threat situation, most people don’t realize how easy that could be with the data they give away daily.

This! If you can get them for UK voltages and plow style. They are inexpensive and handle 15A, and give the power consumption data as well.

This! You have it set to “Allow”, so it’s allowing it. You need to set it to Deny.

As much as I would love this to kick MS in the backside, it won’t. The public at large has no idea what this is or why it’s bad and evil. They will buy a computer, it will come with Windows, and they’ll use it like they always have. Companies and Govts will gripe initially, but give in because their ancient VB enterprise apps only run on Windows.
