I want one, or three. Where can I buy one of those shirts?

Religion is a pyramid scheme tupperware style con game.

That is not sarcasm, that is what the military’s pay billions to Palentir to make sure they have non caucasian targets.

Terrorism even.

He can take his shitty closed source database with him.

Graylog is excellent for rummaging about in log files. Client side you have to install rsyslog and one universal config file to forward all the logs to a central server. Gralog server-side has a GUI where you can set up email alerts by basically setting up greps on stuff from every log file on your whole network. Some advanced functions of graylog are behind a paywall but I have never needed them.

My LG tv is too old for this shit. But it does not get ethernet or wifi password just in case they decide to update the firmware

Graylog is excellent for catching all the logs from different system and filtering them according to your tastes into email alerts.

As a kid I learnt P = I2R ; P = IE ; P = E2/R by careful selection of resistor values stuck across the 240V house supply and standing well back.

I just use file systems that compress behind the scenes. Over the wires I might use a -z option if I am in a hurry.

Linux was originally just the kernel back in the 90’s. Combined with the GNU libraries and all the free software it is now an OS. You can call it GNU/Linux if you like. Much better explained by olenokoVD just here.

I tried to upvote you twice but was not allowed. So here is my second upvote: You hit the problem spot on!

Not true in my experience. Windows users hate their OS and all the crap they have to live with.

Dual booting sucks if you don’t do it well. Windows keeps messing with the bios settings and the boot loader and crap like ‘fast boot’ to make your life painful.

Try Linux on a USB stick in live mode (JUST DON’T PRESS INSTALL YET) . It will be a bit slower than a direct drive boot but you can play around with Linux and get to like it without having to wreck all your windows stuff or wipe any drives.

Even Microsoft are now renting Linux VMs on their cloud infrastructure.

I tried netbird for a while but it was using too much battery on my phone.

The last thing I want is database corruption. That is why I “docker compose down” before I make a backup then “docker compose up” when the backup is complete. Is that not good enough? Do I have to do something else?

My backup tooling just shuts down the container and associated db, then rysncs it all somwhere safe and restarts the container. Am I missing somethoing critical by not doing a db dump in the middle of that?
