They are extremely annoying to me. Dude pumped Raspberry Pis for far too long when there were so many better boards and options. And now is whoring out UnRAID which is by far the worst fucking option for selfhosters. And nextcloud is absolute fucking ass and that’s all they talk about, never services that are much better solutions. When I really got into selfhosting, I realized that they really don’t know wtf they are talking about and get paid to whore out inferior solutions.

And yet you’ve not provided one example, hmmmm

Do you serve things to a public? Because unless you’re serving a public, that’s a dumb to do… and you really don’t understand the purpose of it.

If all you wanted was the ability to access services remotely, then you should have just created a WireGuard tunnel.

Because it’s an extremely common phrase that I figured most people here understood, sorry for over-estimating you.

A synced copy of data doesn’t protect against accidental file deletions… that is why RAID isn’t a backup, that is why snapRAID isn’t a backup, that is why syncthing is not a backup, that is why any kind of synced copy is not a backup. Let me know if you’re still struggling with this VERY basic concept… that has had it’s own little phrase parroted for decades, “RAID is not a backup.”

You do realize that it actually does a lot more than that right which is what makes it a proper backup system, right? If all it did was sync a copy of data then it wouldn’t be a proper backup. As I already pointed out, so let me know if I need to slow it down further for you.

Why do so many people do this incorrectly. Unless you are actually serving a public then you don’t need to open anything other than a WireGuard tunnel. My phone automatically connects to WireGuard as soon as I disconnect from my home WiFi so I have access to every single one of my services and only have to expose one port and service.

If you are going through setting up caddy or nginx proxy manager or anything else and you’re not serving a public… you’re dumb.

What kind of shitty TV takes 30s to turn on? Ive never seen one take that long. Smart functions have literally nothing to do with how fast they turn on. In fact a lot of smart TVs, especially with Roku built in, don’t even really ever power down completely, and when you press power the screen is on and ready almost instantly.

I mean… just don’t connect it.

A copy of data isn’t really a backup, that’s also why RAID isn’t a backup. You should have proper backups with something like borg or restic.
