Ek-Hou-Van-Braai

Sadly they switched back to Microsoft, the latest release of LiMux was in 2019.

I hope they can restart this project.

It's shocking that Europe relies so heavily on MS for critical government infrastructure. How were they this blind to this risk.

Nice thanks for sharing. I'm thinking of doing something similar but to Hetzner (it's dit cheap)

Would just need to figure out encryption

It's a "Democracy" where you can only choose one of two parties.

Both of which suck. One clearly more than the other, but your only two options are terrible.

Use and support open source where ever possible

I've been using Only Office, it's great. I see no need to use MS Office

Do you have backups in place if your house burns down?

That's the problem I'm looking to solve for myself right now.

For Photos the lazy route is to just pay Hetzner 5$ a month for 1TB storage and Nextcloud

(I tried this for a month and loved it, decided to then host myself)

The not lazy route is to host Nextcloud yourself, but because it's important thigns like your family photos, you need to be sure your backups are solid.

I bought myself a Hardkernel H4+ and will be setting it up as a NAS with Nextcloud

Nice!! Happy you found a easy performance improvement

It might be a good idea to get a power monitoring plug to get some data into what would save the most power while still keeping temps where you want it

Thanks I'll see if I can get the thumbnails on the SSD for more snappyness.

Thanks I'll look into this, I've never setup ZFS but the hardware I need to comes next week. looking forward to it
