It’s wild how you get: gun buyback programs = bad. Rather than: corrupt corporations need watchdogs.

Linode has some cool “turnkey” solutions for this. One example: https://www.linode.com/marketplace/apps/nextcloud/nextcloud/

So instead of doing a reverse proxy or vpn on self hosted hardware you would be renting linode servers that are already connected. Then you just have to follow the instructions to hook up a domain or add the relevant dns records.

Either way is fine it just depends on what you’re comfortable with and what you have on hand/want to buy.

That’s literally philosophy 101. When writing philosophical arguments one of the core parts is restating the point you are arguing against clearly and faithfully.

Careful here. Absolutely start learning bash, but one of the points of Mint is that everything a normal user needs to do can be done through a settings gui. Don’t feel bad for reaching for the gui if you need to get something done and don’t have time right then and there to learn. Have fun!

That’s one way to make more work for yourself.

And a properly secured network can’t be compromised by some amateur thief sitting in their car. Point was that foolproof security is a fantasy.

But if my printer ever laughs at my bad jokes I’m keeping my hammer ready, just in case.

I know some software engineers like that. Some of it is knowing that the companies that make iot devices don’t give a crap about security. Some of it is plain ol paranoia. Mechanical door locks can be picked does that mean you invest in guard dogs? Crime is a thing but so is misanthropy. I think we should take reasonable precautions but believe that there are more good ppl than bad.

Would have been better if his response was “ah shit”

According to ahem Legends this was Obi-Wan. They sent Obi-Wan to a farming planet and was essentially booted out because no master would take him. From the book, Star Wars Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force.
