A big ass article just to say « they removed preloaded wallpapers and deleted redundant features but didn’t tell us what ».

That could be because of duckduckgo anti tracking system running 24/7 on my phone haha

It doesn’t load for me, and according to the way back machine (it couldn’t save the readme somehow?) it redirects to a framagit repo that wants me to create an account.

Well that’s a bit of both: I need to be able to get on my server from work (with my phone… Yeah not great but that works), because I often break stuff haha ; also a nice thing to have when I’m on the bus and want to add more music or movies to listen to during the travel!

Are there ISPs that don’t provide dynamic IPs? I had to setup a script and get some API keys for different services to ensure the IP is properly updated on my DNS servers.

Speaking of brutality, I considered doing the same but then I would have banned myself from testing the APIs of my services 🤧

No, this doesn’t remove the need to stay up to date.

However, it works on my server and was very easy to setup: a few ufw rules so that port 22 is blocked everywhere, allowed only on the VPN IP range and my local network range. Nmapping from outside does not show port 22 accessible, and indeed you can’t SSH to it without the VPN.

Security is quite tough to get right eh? I tried my best to harden everything opening ports on my server, having a fail2ban, VPN for maintenance, webserver to expose some personal services…

One could setup a VPN and expose the SSH port to the VPN network only. It think tailscale operates this way?

Does that mean you change your drives every year/two years?

Short SMART test, the drive is 5 years old at most. The most I’m doing on the drive is MB/s… So it should be fine

I’ll try to get a new drive, probably SSD. Can it be related to the drives card? I have an hardware RAID drive aggregator card, with a single disk on it (had 3 in the past and the 2 oldest ones just died at the same time, making scratching noises ; they were 10+ years old but SMART said everything is fine (short one, haven’t tried a long one as smartctl -a tells me it will take about 5-10 for all disks).

I turned it off after taking the pic. Will try, thanks

It boots “fine”, but I’m now pretty sure it will crash again the same way. The disk is only 5 years old, I hope it’s not an hardware problem.
