I had m1 for a week or so and sincerely tried to use it, everything felt just wrong and basic things didn't work. All in all it was horrible experience, asked my old machine back. Working in a mac shop is tiring at least with windows laptops and desktops you can install linux on most of them easily and forget the pain.
I've been in one of those, we moved to samba first and to ubuntu later, in the end of the day we only really needed updates and centralized login storage. There were like 10 windows machines for accounting.
I'm not arrogant, just don't assume that people are dumb and inept. If they can't or don't want to give a bit of time to setup it, well how can someone be forced to use free service that causes momentarily inconvenience once to use. 😔
The problem here - it's not me who requires access to my library, if someone isn't willing or able to do it, I'm sorry but that's just how it is. People should stop infantilize non-technical people, absolute majority of them is capable of navigating our world without much problems and I'm willing to help them if help is asked.
If my 60 y.o. mother with close to zero technical skills can do it with limited help (due to distance and other constraints) I'm pretty sure that majority of people with sound mind can.
The solution is mentioned already - use vpn, it will solve 90% of the problems that you can encounter. Also you can serve multiple other services this way without exposing them.
I've found 100% infill weaker than something like 60%, it won't break per se, it would delaminate. Also number of walls is really important you can dial down infill to 20-25% if you have 6 walls or more.
I have something like homegrown pihole (dnsmasq with block lists) , jellyfin, qbittorrent and nfs/smb share. Everytime when such a post appears there is this irrational desire to create cool monitoring and homepage and homeassistant. Never materialises into anything, after all there is always emacs that requires tinkering if needed. :3
I'm always at awe when people do this for their home like I've been managing infra for almost two decades and don't have even quarter of the things some people install and manage. It looks overwhelming to be honest.
I've worked in large companies that didn't use anything oracle, also worked in one that used oracle db and that's it, I think that oracle is pretty north america specific.
