I got a NUC on ebay for about the same price, maybe a little less. Has more I/O and an SSD.

That’s likely because your Macs are using the TPM. Does your Linux machine have a TPM, and are you using it?

If you’re having it automatically unlock the drive at boot, it kind of defeats the purpose. If someone steals your tower, they can boot it and copy the unencrypted contents since it automatically unlocks.

Nice of them to attempt to point blame at AWS, I’m sure AWS appreciates that.

That’s why I reject all in Firefox settings along with wiping everything at close

I too have thought about the family urn. Throw in the pet ashes too!

Was about to mention Mikrotik. They even have a 100GBit switch for under $800 (CRS504-4XQ-IN).

Frigate + reolink is a great combo.

Kagi is great but it’s a subscription based platform ($10/month). Well worth it, at least for me.

I’m usually all for setting up things myself, but unRAID is just too good. Not to mention their support forums have saved me more than once.

Home Assistant, in this case; YAML.

LUKS with LVM is probably what you want to encrypt your “hot” drives with. As for the actual backups, Borg and Duplicacy are great. I personally prefer Duplicacy as I find it much more polished, but Borg is great too. Both include encryption options.

If you’re concerned about recovering data, you should try recovering now. Make sure your backups are actually working and you can properly recover. You don’t have backups unless you test them.

Just used it to generate some HA automations that GPT-4 struggled with, and it was definitely faster.

Then why did you say “you don’t know what you’re talking about” and are just now bringing up systemctl? Moving goalposts maybe?

This was never about runlevel 0 or 1 programs. This was always about whether or not a user can use systemd without root. Why would Brave need to start a VPN service at an init runlevel (before most networking services)? It would make more sense to start at login.

Again, it’s not true, so you don’t need to keep acting like it’s the case. You do not need root to create systemd entries for a single user. Systemd is pretty much just symlinks all the way down. You can test this yourself, so I don’t know why you’re saying it’s not possible when me and many others in this thread have told you that you were incorrect in the first place.

That’s what I said, it was my professional opinion. Sorry if you took it otherwise. Who pissed in your Cheerios? You have a vested interest in hating other people’s choice of search engine?

I ask again, what are you basing your opinion off of if not personal reasons or SEO?
