Wait… so it’s just a hardware middle man for Do Not Disturb?
You can leave the key behind
Fun idea until I’m out and about & realize the one app I locked would be useful.
“Fraud” is the correct term here.
Could anyone broad-stroke the security requirements for something like this? Looks like they’ll pay for hosting up to a certain amount, and between that and a pipeline to keep the mirror updated I’d think it wouldn’t be tough to get one up and running.
Just looking for theory - what are the logistics behind keeping a mirror like this secure?
Other folks have the big stuff recommended, and I just wanted to add: rugs. Adds some color, helps dampen noise, and can hide some cabling.
Ive got a pair of 12TB Seagate drives in a NAS that have been running great for a few years, now.
I’ve heard varying opinions on Seagate’s longevity, so your mileage may vary. So far, they haven’t given me any issues.
I don’t buy into the myth that running your own mail server is “hard”.
For a server with only a few users, the hard part is outgoing mail, ensuring your mails get delivered. I did what I can here, and simply use a paid service on another domain for important things where delivery must be “guaranteed”.
It’s an interesting post, but saying it’s “not hard” and then “welllllll it’s not hard if you don’t bother with a spam filter & pay a professional company for ‘important’ email” is pretty misleading.
It’s the “hello world” for hardware.
It’s not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you’d then ideally store in a VCS like git.
I haven’t messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.
