You've reminded me of a slightly off-topic point...
I tried to put Linux on an old laptop for a friend so their kids could use it... it had some weird (Realtek?) chip that was a combination of things (ie video and networking?) and Linux just couldn't drive it, so I had to give up.
That's the only Linux failure I've had and it was also the one where I told them it would definitely work...
If you're looking for a different approach, I moved from Nextcloud to Radicale for my family calendars, which includes ToDo functionality.
From an app point, for Android I'm using Fossify Calendar (which I think you're using?) and Tasks.Org ToDo - and this definitely handles recurring tasks (inc. with different types of schedules)
From a remote access point of view, I have HA Proxy to convert the internal HTTP traffic into external HTTPS traffic (with Lets Encrypt certificate)
(Yes, I also have a VPN for other things... just focusing here for the calendar / todo)
Admittedly I've just scanned your list, but from a repair shop POV, surely the legal licensing would be of interest?
Ie, someone brings in an old device thst won't run Win7 let alone 11 - but you can't repair / upgrade without being very careful with the COA license
Linux: no issues.
Crikey, I only joined a couple of weeks after this instance started too... looks like a few of us didn't realise the paint was still wet when signing up.
Thanks @[email protected] , @[email protected] and @[email protected] for all your hard work! (& Tom...)
Is this where we find out that @[email protected] was actually @[email protected]?
Been using Logseq for ~2 years as I was becoming overwhelmed with stuff... the number of times it's helped me, I'd even call it a mental health support tool !
I use the daily journal page for what's happening and link it to various projects via templates for meetings, webinars, calls, etc and then I can find who said what, when in relation to each project... it's fantastic
My journey⋮ Nextcloud ---> syncthing + radicale
Much simpler, easier to maintain, less resources needed
So, the R320 is just for bulk storage?
Personally I'd drop that one for the lowest power consumption box I could find... unless it's part of a (V)SAN for your R710?
But be careful with assuming many SFF PCs will be better than 1x R710, consider their power properly as they might be more expensive... servers ~~are~~ can be more efficient at heavier loads
Got a link for that? Searching for "garage backup storage" doesn't really get me anywhere...
Nice. I'll go that way when I next brave the dust and cobwebs where the server's currently located
First holiday rental BBQ of the year.
These are always an adventure, broken legs, crumbling gas pipes, spiders and snails in all the crevices...
In this case, it's not too bad, just lit the fire so we'll see if it explodes / melts...
And... just burgers, sausages and halloumi for this one, nothing too adventurous
I think others have generally caught this, but I wanted to simplify the point: the apps on your phone are not controlling your home, a computer is. If you don't use Google's, then you'll need to provide one.
We use VNC as we can record the sessions easily for later priof / discussion with our customers.
It's in a VPN tunnel of course.
But of course, we also don't use Google, AWS, etc as they're not secure enough for us and we have our own SOCs
