  • Are you joking, or are you actually serious?

  • Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline

  • I think your comparison to slavery is a bit overblown and minimizes the tragedy of actual slavery. But I agree with the sentiment.

  • What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it can definetely be a great solution, but the idea for this was specifically to be more independent from big tech. We already habdle stuff like registering for camps over Office 365, but I wanted to introduce Nextcloud to replace that, because I don't think it's a good idea to let Microsoft handle personal data of like a hundred people, that probably don't even know, that they are giving away their data to Microsoft there. But again, I don't wanna judge anyone for using things like that, Nextcloud can be a pain to maintain, especially for non technical people.

  • Yeah, I guess the plan would be (if we decide to use an old labtop) to have a similar backup system to my home server, so one daily incremental backup with something like borgbackup to a newly bought external hard drive and automated updates using watchtower (I heard major nextcloud upgrades can be tricky though, so I an not shure if it would be a good idea to automate those). I guess it would still suck if the laptop unexpectedly failed and we would have to scramble to find new hardware though, how long would you expect an old laptop to last as a server?

  • Yeah, I totally get what you mean, I am kind of expecting that aswell, but at least I know, that other scouts groups in the area already have a nextcloud and it is actively beeing used, so I have some hopes in that regard. But yeah, getting them to use something like Matrix is probably pretty unrealistic.

  • What are some (legal) torrents I can seed that help a good cause?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's like that for some torrents, but some also work fine. And the ones that don't work, you can revive by manually downloading the zip file from their servers, I guess.
