Just a dad with a sysadmin hobby … leaving reddit
Sucks for them, because I’ve moved over to Pathfinder after Hasbro tried to screw us and gutted WoTC. Most people I know have done the same too. They had plenty of opportunities to make it right and just kept rolling a 1 each and every time. Shame too because I love 5E
XMPP is fantastic IMHO
If you want to support a great project and have great uptime check out conversations.im
I don’t recommend self hosting something you want available all the time. That being said everyone has different needs/uses 😊
Like everyone has said there’s way better ways of doing it.
HOWEVER if you wanted to use dd you totally could. I’d recommend piping into something like gzip/zstd to save some space though.
dd if=/dev/sda | gzip >/mnt/backup_disk/sda.gz
You could also use restic backup the raw block device too.
That being said, clonezilla is exactly what you want
There’s still people using livestock dewormer as a cure all when they can’t get their doc to write a script… so not drinking raw milk is just a libtard “suggestion” to them or the person saying it is just “in the pocket of big dairy” …
weee!!! oh what a fun & exciting dystopia we’re in!! /s
I don’t know of any, I know that at one point you could enable it on one plus devices since outside the US it has that functionality built in. There was an app called j.one.plus.tools that did it IIRC.
The upstream dialer might have some functionality like that built into it too.

I’m wasn’t implying that you shouldn’t host it yourself at all. Just maybe use a VPS for hosting it yourself.
Getting buy in on the family & friends aspect is being able to match or exceed the popular free services. If there’s a perception that it’s not reliable then it’s highly unlikely they’ll keep using it. So the last thing you want is to have something happen to your internet connection, NAS, etc. At the end of the day it’s the pesky perception equals reality thing that dooms things like this and tanks the spouse approval factor.
Self hosting XMPP works well for most internal things. IMHO communication software that you’re relying on shouldn’t be hosted at home.
Both of those that you mentioned are great. I’ve used ejabberd in addition to that. I think prosody is better. Here’s a link to a list of more servers.
Another option since XMPP can do E2EE is use conversations.im it is my go to for XMPP hosting.
To add to this systemd can do everything they can. You can isolate network, do fire-walling, and sandboxing pretty easily. Any OCI container can be used too if you don’t want to install something too.
I could just do more with it.
I didn’t have a lot of money and went dumpster diving for parts. Changed out a bad capacitor and got a system booting. This was back in Pentium 3 and 4 days. I found a 512MB stick of memory that had some bad areas. Linux was able to map around it with some kernel options at boot. Since I had limited storage I used knoppix and had a print out of the needed kernel options and memory addresses.
Once it was up and running I was able to do anything and everything I wanted. I did built a better system and got gentoo going a year or so later.
Eventually I got gaming mostly working with the project that eventually became crossover. First software I ever purchased too. I started dual booting less.
I bounced back and forth between windows and Linux and when I built a system around 2010 I didn’t even bother configuring it for dual booting.
I haven’t really touched anything windows since around the release of Windows 10 and only used windows 7 for work reasons prior. These days I’m pretty useless with anything on that end.
So I’m an evangelical fan of Linux. I use it everywhere I can and the FOSS philosophy resonates with me. I advocate for it where it makes sense and works. I’ll go out of my way and spend time & money helping people move into it too.
TBH, if something like invoice ninja isn’t working for you, even the paid hosted version, then maybe just use PayPal?
Some things are, but the core functionality is easily extended through modules and you can find a lot of sites with them. Some of the best modules are going to cost you some money but it’s worth it.
That being said Odoo is overkill if you just need to send an invoice. Odoo is perfect for running a business though. It can and will do EVERYTHING and then some.
I know people who run their entire businesses on it. Website, HR, inventory, time clocks, billing, etc etc. it scales really well too. Largest business I know using it has 100s of employees. They even have a paid developer on staff that writes and maintains custom modules for them. Smallest business I know of using it has 5 employees, including the owners.
It’s seriously impressive software!
From what I understand Greg Kroah-Hartman would take over
I was curious about this too. Definitely making me question some of my own thoughts and assumptions about btrfs.
Are we just gonna not talk about OP using 10/8? 😂
I guess it largely depends on the instance and user. Federation allows things to talk but users and their home instances still have ownership of the data. So if a user removes it it’s gone. If the instance goes away it’s gone.
At least that’s my basic understanding. I haven’t had the time to really explore how everything works and do a deep dive. So if I’m wrong someone please correct me!
Likewise! Once I finally started making real money I tried to buy software I pirated early on. Even if I don’t currently use it.
Yeah, it was always too much for me. But I know quite a few people who run their entire business on it and they’re not small by any means. They hired some people to do custom work for modules too. They all started as small businesses too with Odoo and it just grew with them
