Ah, ok, I get the general idea now. UCCU uses this software, too (you said you worked for MX, which is based in Lehi… I also work in Lehi 😅), but I gotta be honest - I’m not a huge fan of the mobile app. It just feels like a PWA. But that might just be UCCU’s implementation, so, IDK.

Thanks for the explanation though!

The whole thing 😅 how do I know if my bank uses MX?

Can you elaborate on this some more?

You’re not wrong, and I agree in that it feels like W10 is where MS finally got it right.

However, hindsight is 20/20, and those sentiments were definitely not felt in the first few years after W10 was released. Once all the big issues were worked out and people figured out how to remove the bloat/spyware shit though, it was a solid OS. I still run it on my gaming PC (for now - tested some crucial programs last night on my laptop running LMDE6, great success)

What did W11 add that we didn’t have before? A TPM requirement? Ads? AI slop/shovelware/spyware?

W11 right now is essentially a shitty skin on top of W10, with all that extra shit. The kernel is still version 10.x.whatever FFS 😅. But SHINY INTERFACE and ONEDRIVE

These are the people that companies like Apple pander to, with the whole “it just works” schtick.

Microsoft: you had a good thing with Windows <previous version>, and you pissed it all away when you put out the crap that is Windows <new version>.

Ftfy.

That said, there is something to be said for how popular Windows is, and the modifications and QoL improvements offered by 3rd party devs.

Well now I can’t unhear that, thanks.

I use a few of those already (HA, Proxmox, etc), I’ll have to check it out later.

Ntfy’s public server costs money. Something that’s need-to-know when suggesting an app to someone who’s curious about its functionality.

I already have a small cluster that I run shit on, so that’s they way I would take.

I poked around and it’s a bit more involved than that.

My only beef with LubeLogger (and it’s a pretty minor one, given it’s just the one dev) is the lack of a mobile app. I’ve used aCar since 2012. I have years of data logged, and IMO, having periodic reminders and widgets available at a single tap is a bit more favorable than a PWA.

I am very curious about ntfy though. Please do share.

I run this on a simple docker instance.

Me too.

My coworker is an air force vet. I just told him, with zero context, “it wasn’t the war thunder forums this time”. He closed his eyes and shook his head, then went back to what he was doing.

I have several NFS shares that host multiple docker volumes. So yes.

This is so on-the-nose.

I wish it were that easy in the US.

Yep. Most websites make it intentionally difficult to reject this stuff by giving you a single “ACCEPT ALL” button and then burying each individual actual setting behind multiple menus and dropdowns, some of which are deliberately obfuscated, sometimes with odd color choices for the toggle that make it difficult to determine whether the option is actually on or off.

Some websites offer a “Reject All” option, but they are few and far between.

Sounds like you’re pretty familiar already! I use OMV for my NAS and have several NFS shares for various services. It’s a solid solution IMO.

First and foremost: Do not expose your host system or the OMV admin interface to the internet. Ever. Doing so is only asking for trouble. Only expose services that have been properly isolated from the rest of the network and host system. Everything else you can access via VPN, or locally.

Secondly: OpenMediaVault beginner’s guide by DB Tech. Him, Craft Computing, Hardware Haven, and a few others whose names currently escape me, are all solid sources for learning how to host things at home.

After OMV, I would start with learning Docker and other containerization methods, and VMs.
