I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.

If you look at the petapixel article, they complain about the speed (10mb/sec not 100) and have serious doubts about the reliability. Using this for backup or for security cameras sounds like a bad idea. It could still be good for some things like carrying your movie library on your phone, while still having a stable copy at home.

Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.

Did you just discover this? It's a Microsoft site after all.

No a lot less, twilio is $1/mo, see also VoIP.ms and vitelity.net

This was basically Blondies Pizza back in the day. Also the nitter thread is from 2019.

If we told just anyone, it wouldn't be private!!!!

Srsly any phone app is inherently insecure because the phone itself is insecure. And there's lots of metadata leakage, like the phone broadcasting its location. There is no "go to app". It all depends on what you are trying to do and who you are trying to communicate with.

If this is for live disks or mirrors (not backup), LUKS is reasonable. Backup is different from mirroring since one of the things it protects you from is accidentally deleting files. If you delete a file from your main drive, it also disappears from the mirror drive, so mirrors are not backup. For encrypted backup, I've been using Borg backup which is quite well thought out, though confusing at first. The backups go on a remote server which is ok since they are all encrypted.

They want to obsolete all our phones again? No thanks.

The PFS comes from deleting the secret DH parameters after you are done using them.

The codecs are built into the client (I'm using linphone) and they all sound like crap. Provider is vitelity.net but I have a twilio account so could try that. Also, they only work at all when the phone is online by wifi. Using the phone's mobile data is total fail. Too many dropouts etc.

This forwards to an (oh the irony) blogspot post, https://articlesgallery8543.blogspot.com/2023/10/lets-decentralize-web-together.html It encourages people to move off sites like facebook towards sites like lemmy. Great but I think we knew that already.
