Just as many still uses Outlook and email as some sort of FTP service and then whine about reaching their 50GB/100GB M365 mailboxes.

I mean the largest problem in a business sense has always been cooperating with other businesses.
That microsoft excel file your distributor sent you with builtin macros and code that just won’t function correctly in libreoffice calc and so on.
It’s already a source of friction when university folks in sweden primarily using the google workplace want to coordinate with businesses in sweden that are mostly using microsoft office.
In construction the most common way to coordinate with subtractors is through microsoft teams/sharepoint online, at least here in sweden.

There’s a lot of EV kits and also people converting petrol cars for a living, f.e. this little beetle:

Just search for <Car maker> <Car model> <Car model year> EV Conversion Kit and you’ll find a lot of hits such as the first hit on duckduckgo for VW Golf 2005 EV Conversion Kit that may be bought with or without installation:

EV Conversion Kits is probably your best bet.

I mean it’s been talked about over and over again leading to US accusing TikTok of spying on users and EU* banning Huawei and ZTE from 5G infrastructure.
But end users just doesn’t care. They click accept all on every popup without even reading if it’s cookies or to allow the site to send scam antivirus notifications. They buy the cheap chinese phone because it’s cheap just as they buy shit from Temu and Shein even when their plastic is poisonous and their workers are stuck with 75 hour weeks and not being allowed to leave the premises.

*Not all EU countries has chosen to ban them.

I really hope that day never comes. I dont trust Meta one bit and refuse to use their ecosystem of services. Care to link the mentioned articles?

You could use a computer with a headset as a linked device, that’s the closest I can think of.

Ah right, “proof” from ivan.

In the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, critics say that Telesur has spread Russian disinformation in Latin America.

Only thing I dislike about the T14s is that you have to dissassemble everything to replace the keyboard. On the T14 it’s so much easier.

A refurbished Lenovo T14 or T16 should do it.

While I’m morally in the opnsense camp I know pfsense has more third party packages available.
Running docker in an lxc sounds interesting, I’m a bit old school and enjoy the isolation that a true vm gives you.

Thank you for adding your troubleshooting and solution to the thread. This is gonna turn into Wisdom of the Ancients eventually. ;-)

1. Check if you’re behind CGNAT
   The allocated address block for CGNAT is 100.64.0.0/10, i.e. IP addresses from 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255. If your routers WAN IP is one of those then selfhosting stuff accessible from outside requires a lot more work. Ask your ISP if you can have a public IP address and what the cost is or go into the rabbit hole of bypassing cgnat with a vps.

2. If you’re gonna host data, especially other peoples data*, learn and use the 3-2-1 backup strategy
   For proxmox which I talk about more further down you can look into their own Proxmox backup server solution.

3. Data redundancy, either through BIOS/UEFI RAID1 (for two disks) or RAID10 (for four disks) or by running ZFS
   This isn’t a backup, this is about being able to replace a faulty drive without downtime and having an easier rebuild process compared to restoring from backup.

4. Virtualization, for a beginner that already runs linux I would recommend Proxmox
   This makes it more complicated to get started but easier to maintain the installation and easier to migrate it to new hardware.
   It also allows you more room to learn by doing, that’s the bonus of the easier restore, cloning and snapshotting of virtual machines compared to bare metal.

*If you’re new to selfhosting then begin with yourself and having only local in-house access. As a step 2 learn how to setup a vpn for access from the outside. Step 3 would be learning how to use a reverse proxy, lets-encrypt and so on for SSL access without vpn.

Ah, that’s good to know!
My jellyfin server is only available over vpn (and locally) so I haven’t much looked into beefing up the security on the jellyfin server itself.

Yeah, the reverse proxy will need to be able to handle the network bandwidth of your video stream too.

yep!

I imagine something like Ontrack will quote you at least $1000
If you consider the data worth that then I would go for one of the big known firms.
If not then I would start researching how to replace a pcb and risk losing the data.
