I still have to use SAMBA as Win 11 hates NFS with a passion and we have Win 11 boxes here supplied as work machines so no changing. Also wifeys gaming rig is Windows as she don’t want to mess around getting stuff to work…
But hey - for everything else it is NFS with all of its weirdness, but it just works a bit better than SMB
Best AI beer the world has ever seen!
Apple managed it… though plenty won’t want Apple silicon in their pcs as in Windows. Plus Windows for ARM or whatever it is called this hour is shocking still
I run a linkstack instance but it’s not federated as such - and as said I cannot see the real advantage of doing so as they are just a page(s) of links. However linkstack can be pretty, is easy to maintain a list and runs as a docker container…
Despite it getting a bit of a scattered mess, I still love Nextcloud as it can pretty much provide everything I want in a cloud service. Currently running via a yunohost setup because upgrading is way, way easier but I might migrate it to a truenas setup OR a docker container just because. The advantage of going truenas is that it is my main storage system with backup etc. but the disadvantage is if something goes wrong (I do have a backup to the backups ahem and it does have raidz1 so I should be resistant to some errors)
We shall see…
Meta actually leading the way with something, however negative it is!
Like I said - each to their own. truecharts the apps are pretty much known to be more unstable as well, says that everywhere in the documentation. Truenas if it’s up to date, using their app catalogue with stable selected is pretty rock solid for everyone.
Also re:lemmy/piefed - there are quite a few people who are very loud and vocal about things, and a lot of the opinions here lean to the left a lot. Not that it is a bad thing, but some folk appear to have got fed up of this and as a result have migrated elsewhere. I like it here, but it can be far from helpful at times
UK user here, several big lemmy instances are unavailable for me apart from when I’m on erm holiday
I’m in the UK and I am seeing a decline across virtually everything tinternet related. Years of rising rpices, job security worries and just a shift in attitudes has made people far more wary and less time to post, interact etc. plus the modern fragmented web doesn’t help
Well erm that I can’t get around… but I guess it depends on what you want to self host. I use truenas as a storage solution, standalone and it works very well for that - I have had it up and running for years and years. It also stores personal files and is not exposed to the internet apart from updates and a few other things. Then I have an old 4-node server from Supermicro which hosts the stuff I need and uses truenas to store the data. Now that is probably overkill but the data is safe and backed up well. Truenas has apps for a lot of things, and other ways to host docker containers if you have the latest scale community edition. So perhaps you could do it that way
Debian supports zfs so why the extra hassle of truenas? Seems to be a lot of extra work to add a vm when you could just use zfs in Debian. Or install something like Minio in Debian and use that to manage the data in s3 style buckets, again no vm needed
There are other ways to ensure they don’t fail…
Me personally, I’d like to see them go the way of Nokia
You are still going? You really aren’t a nice person are you forcing your “opinion” on people… it is not financially viable in the UK to retire early any more
The point is arguing about something when you plainly don’t understand how the UK still has GDPR doesn’t really validate your opinions in any way shape or form…
The security doesn’t matter, nothing other than Windows is used. To move to something else would cost so much that businesses simply cannot sustain that. We now have workers who have had 30 years of only working with Windows… and new workers only get Windows. Doesn’t matter what you or anybody else thinks, or says, it matters little. It is pretty much set in stone that you need Windows and Office in the UK, plus other software to make things like PDF’s and documents. You can point anyone towards anything and it just doesn’t matter… and here in the UK they don’t care about lawsuits, we don’t sue first and ask questions later - our legal system is just not setup that way. It is so difficult for other countries to understand, but that kind of approach just doesn’t happen, and our legal system takes little notice of legal issues in countries like the US.
For starters in the UK we ARE bound by GDPR…
But it doesn’t matter - you are assuming that companies care in the UK, they don’t. You get Windows or Windows. As said a lot of software only runs on Windows, and this will continue until microsoft stop windows, corps don’t care. Here in the UK Macs are rare, really really rare, in business. Heck in general use they are rare compared to Windows. Linux is nowhere, under 0.1%. You are literally forced to use Windows if you work for a company. My wife works for a charity and she has to use the company laptop, through the company VPN or else she gets warning and can be sacked… it really is that simple. The company controls what software is installed, even what updates are installed. Here in the UK the NHS buys around 5 million windows machines a year… just imagine that
bought to use the background removal tool instead of a green screen. Play the odd game too and other uses for the RT and Tensor cores.
You realise that most companies still run on Windows don’t you? I’m in the UK and there is around zero companies that use anything else… here they got rid of Macs because of the hassle of supporting them and windows. Plenty of companies won’t let you use a Mac to work with either
Change your surname to a domain that is available…
Of course I am kidding, but this kind of thing happens a lot, and it just ends up costing money to sort out. If you are happy with that then do it - if not then you will have to hope it becomes available on the free market at some time or see if it comes available in domain auctions as said. It really is that hit or miss, unless you are a Jones or Smith in which case there is zero chance
Oh it just doesn’t like it as much as SMB… has work mandated VPN on it for starters! I use a truenas box for most of the backups etc. and I just share the same dataset via SMB and NFS and locally only, so it is sorted, but NFS on the Win 11 box is just way flakier and drops often
