I use NewRelic myself. They are software agnostic and only connect to your URL to get the expiration date.

If you set up LE correctly, it should never get an alert. I haven’t been alerted since I set it up, to the point that I wonder if I set up the monitor correctly.

The only thing I wish it could do is use custom ports. I have some services running on non standard ports.

Ooh it’s an early termination fee. OP made it sound like there was a fee on top of the subscription cost. Which I guess still fits the definition.

Still scummy.

Also, make sure you have backups. I don’t care how stable NTFS drivers are I don’t fucking trust them for daily use, especially writes.

I recommend copying files off of NTFS and onto ext4 if you’re able. If you can’t, try to keep operations to read only.

I’ve lost too many drives due to stupid issues (sometimes me making an error, sometimes the driver not working properly).

Backup:

• 3 different locations
• 2 different media formats
• 1 offsite

This right here. I know lemmy is all “LINUX IS FOR EVERYONE!” But it isn’t.

I know this would go against Google’s self interest but they are best poised to make Linux mainstream. Chrome OS can play android games natively. But it’s all close source.

It wouldn’t take much to make the ecosystem for general Linux. I don’t know if the other android-based OSes are working on this but anything we can do to push gaming into Linux would help it to become a better everyday OS
