If I had to guess it’s because Microsoft wants the memory protections that rust gives. Which would make windows more stable and less hackable? Meaning more money

Wait what did I miss, Ubuntu changed sudo for the sake of changing sudo?

Depends what you mean by “security”

Out of interest what are you using? I was postfix/courier for a long time, with a must migrate to dovecot 10 years ago. Finally migrated this year and the performance difference is noticeable

The traditional way is man pages and howto guides, which contain loads of information. You can get man pages in terminal or html (but I can remember how).

Next up is online tutorials like you are using, however with complicated setups, like a full mail server, the info gets very specific and can often go out of date.

Then we have readthedocs, which are the project specific instructions which tend to be very good.

How ever my personal favourite is the arch wiki, you’ll need to know how to change commands to Debian based systems, but it does give a lot of info and insight that is up to date.

For moving from Goole photos look at photoprism, immich and nextcloud, there are others, but these are the ones that made my short list

Do this now

Postfix and write a milter (mail filter), you can get them to interact a various points in the mail delivery.

I think most things can be accomplished within postfix

Just sailing? Single hard drive connected to what ever

Hosting stuff you care about? Some form of raid/zfs/whatever with at least 2 discs and a backup plan, also hooked up to what ever

That is the bare minimum. Buy used and expect your needs to change within a month/year.

Wasn’t aimed at you, more of an observation, fttp in the UK is usually sold as 150/150 or 900/900(ish) with some areas having the option for 2.5gbps it’s like when it first launched and ISPs had usage quotas that could be gone in 3 hours of full usage

10TB per month, is that uploads and downloads combined? If so that’s a 1gbps at full speed for 12hours

Are you on carrier grade NAT (CGNAT) WAN ip in the address space 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255?

I feel like hardware raid is relic from the pre multi core CPU days, given that was less than 20 years ago it makes me feel old

Can confirm that moving a zfs array to a new system after a failure is simply connect the disks and zpool import -f <pool_name>

Every raid card I use now is put in hba mode it’s just simpler to deal with

I can recommend the nanopi r4s, supported by openwrt, ipfire and I think opnsense. Ive been using it as my main router for almost a year now on a symmetric 1Gb connection. Best part is it’s super cheap and tiny

I had a fake item sent to me, reported to eBay to request a refund, got an immediate refund, seller asked to return the item. I said no, its fake I’ll bin it. Left negative feedback that the items are fake. eBay then removed the review and let the seller keep selling. At least he had one less item to sell and was out of pocket on postage

I went through this at the beginning of the year, it get 900/900 fibre, settled on openwrt running on a nanopi r4s. My other options were a nanopi r6s with openwrt, or nuc type hardware/server running something like pfsence/opnsence etc. The openwrt install took about 5mins then a couple of hours of exploring various menus options etc, which I didnt end up changing.

The r4s doesn’t have eMMC where as the r6s does. I just left the SD card as rw, I’m not too concerned about failure, I’m hoping for some wear leveling built in, if not SD cards are cheap. I should probably clone the disk and have a cold spare SD card.

Storage wise I’m using 17. 63MiB of 29.38GiB, I think I may have bought a too big SD card Ram usage is around 88MiB of 3.87GiB I have got a couple of more things to set up like wireguard but as it stands I’m glad I went the openwrt route over a full server install

I looked at the nanopi r4s and the r6s when I replaced my router. I did consider doing it all myself but in the end settled on the r4s running opwenwrt, I think it took all of 5mins from download to working system. The benefit been the openwrt image has uboot included so only one image need writing, also web interface out of the box

Don’t think of it as an installation, it’s writing image files to disk. I prefer using gparted or disks when working with partitions. Then use dd for the actual writing as I can quite easily see I’ve got the right partition from gparted/disks. Got that wrong a couple of times 😅

I did see a m.2 based expansion card based on ASM1166 chipset, or failing that a sata port multiplier, but those depend on the data port supporting it
