Maybe, but in practice nothing happens. Microsoft has had numerous issues reported to them before, years ago, and the issue reported to them was never fixed or taken seriously. Then years later, the issue is sometimes rediscovered and they find the report from years earlier, and nothing happens.

Until legislation gets passed to force companies to take liability of their software, nothing will change.

I know btrfs alone doesn't replace unraid on its own, but it does replace or at least substitutes most of the raid functionality. Btrfs is extremely flexible and it's raid features are almost unmatched in capability for running in small environments where you may need to increase or decrease the number disks in an array at will and without much limitation.

If you want a gui to manage various linux systems, you could look into cockpit. It can manage VMs, containers and other linux systems via a unified gui. I would recommend fedora if you want to give it a go.

But you do you. I have not really had the desire to use unraid since i already know linux and manage the system myself without many tools, but i understand most people do not know linux that well and learning is a significant time sink.

Tbh, you might just consider using btrfs instead. Using pirated software to run a nas doesn't seem like a great idea when btrfs is so easy to use for making flexible storage arrays.

Tbh, I don't think encryption matters that much for are usually public chat channels.

The private communication should be safe since i think the users will usually pin the keys for each other.

Insurance doesn't work very well for things like hurricanes. When big events happen that cause large percentages of their policy holders to file claims at the same time, it results in large payouts which causes increases in price. When prices go up, people don't insure. This combined with the fact that florida gets hurricanes means prices for insurance are high.

Maybe the state could help by introducing laws to help combat insurance fraud, but that could lead to consumers getting fucked by their insurance companies.

Probably. But wear and tear on all road infrastructure will accelerate due to more weight, and funds to fix it will go down until additional tax structures are put into place to replace gas taxes.

Tbh, just stop using software well past it's prime, or pay the cost of developing the fixes.

Everything can't be free, at some point it's gotta cost something.

I more or less was just looking for a general survey of what other people used.

I agree installing a binary for this small kind of thing might be excessive.

As long as your ISP is handing out a block of IPs, you don't need NAT for v6.

If you want to, then sure. For torrenting, it's not necessary, but may be helpful. I do occasionally see ipv6 peers.

Many ISPs are no longer handing out even 1 public ipv4 address per account, and instead opting for CGnat which further breaks and stratifies the internet.

Tmobile for example is 464xlat which is even worse than cgnat since it requires tampering with dns responses.

Given the situation many ISP are in, most serious companies offering services on the internet have supported ipv6 for a long time now in order to offer the most competitive service possible. And with cloudflare now serving up a large amount of traffic, a lot of all traffic is v6.

Believe it or not, but IPv6 is here and gaining ground.

BitTorrent v2 allows this also. In v1, torrents with multiple files are hashed continuously (cat) together without respect to file boundaries. A side effect of this that many people notice is that to grab a specific file may require downloading some of the files before or after the one you want.

Under v2, each file is hashed separately, so this fixes the aforementioned problem and should allow sharing of files across torrent files.
