No. TP-Link Omada is usually better and cheaper these days and offers nearly identical features.

And TP Link can be used standalone,the controller is just a gimmick.

For pure networking (not WiFi) Mikrotik is also a reasonable alternative,but requires more knowledge.

A lot of guides are still for Proxmox 7 or even 6 on that matter.

Proxmox 8 has changed a lot in that regard.

Also big in healthcare/medical products,btw.

Of course it’s possible to be a part time CEO and there are more and more leadership positions that are job shared, etc.

Everything else is sexist and ableist bullshit, because it usually disadvantages women and disabled disproportionately.

Actually Swiss disability provisions are worse than US provisions (worse than most industrial nations, btw)

You forgot the “basement dwelling gatekeepers”, there are the ones whose minds never left their parents basement and whose social skills aka lack thereof is evident in their gatekeeping.

Their way is the only correct way and Linus has actually no idea how to run Linux, hardware manufacturers don’t know anything about their products, anyone using not their service of choice is automatically an idiot and if you don’t know how to compile xyz yourself by using a self taught technique you really should get off the internet right now.

Often their advice is inefficient, sometimes it’s outdated and some even blatantly lie (had one boast in a discord that he has a myriad of secret user accounts where he intentionally gives bad advice to a FOSS product he hates).

Some also intentionally make whatever the goal is appear much harder in an effort to look smarter (that behaviour is often found in the professional world as well*)

They are the cancerous sore of FOSS and social media,imho.

PS: Anecdote: I work in healthcare,not IT originally. Everything I know is self taught, therefore. Started a new consulting gig and one of these guys, very much a “IT gatekeeper” always made the company he worked for think it takes a massive effort to install a certain product. Which made everyone’s life much harder because yes,he did install it, but he manually compiled it which took him weeks at a time, while his other work piled up. So they tried not to use this essential product whenever possible and worked their way around it.

I came there, saw that I needed said product and had it installed within 20min. The CEO sat right next to me and was stunned. “You prepared that, right?” “Uhm,no? You can just download and install it like this?”

IT-Gatekeeper was asked to join the meeting asap and told to explain why they need so long. His only excuse was “I need to review all the code” - which he did diligently, but he always reviewed ALL the code not only changes, according to his notes.

I made the mistake of saying to myself a bit to loud “but if you compile that stuff yourself then you are liable if it breaks,if you use the advised packages from the manufacturer they are”(medical device law can be interesting). IT-Gatekeeper exploded and screamed at me how I have no idea how IT works,etc.

He was let go shortly after that.

Thanks for confirming that you’re full of shit.

Because there are very very few Sliding Synch (which is the part of X that makes it faster) instances at the moment and only one that has a major userbase…

Wouldn’t say that. With most Matrix Clients, WhatsApp, etc. it’s far easier. Especially from a perspective of a elderly,less tech adept user.

And on which instance did you experience that?

Depends. If you use an intermediary layer like Yunohost/Cloudron/etc. or now your way around docker it’s manageable easily.

Very unlikely by now, these issues have been adressed a while ago.

Matrix is slow on large instances, but that’s not the case here, especially if no federation is done.

And the issue with sluggishness is currently the main development focus with ElementX/matrixX that will become mainstream matrix soon. With that even the large instances are extremely fast.

It is literally one setting in Matrix to force all rooms to only do encrypted messages.

Signal is pretty unintuitive when it comes to multiple devices per user, device transfers after a device has been lost,etc.

Yeah, it’s interesting base for some applications. We will see how good the compatibility is in the end.

Not Radius,Samba. But yes. In theory the Samba server can even run on a VM on the same PC(but that makes it really messy). Raspi or similar is far easier.

Univention offers a ready made distro for that,but not for ARM, though.

You kids are disgusting with your “ready to go” software. A true IT professional would use a self written virtual assembler layer between Hannah Montana and Proxmox to improve security!

Cloudron does that,not for free, though. But cheap

Not cheap but easy to setup and very very capable are the Dahuas. Especially in HA they are really mighty. But sadly they are not cheap.

Protipp: Es gibt übrigens auch Dienstleister die Briefe direkt drucken, eintüten und versenden,gibt es mittlerweile sogar für Einschreiben Einwurf.

Mein persönlicher Favorit ist LetterXpress,soll aber keine Werbung sein,gibt viele andere die das genauso können.(Wer nicht aus DE kommt/viel woanders hin versendet für den is Superpost vermutlich ganz interessant,die versenden auch direkt woanders hin.)

Der Vorteil der besseren Dienste ist, dass du sie direkt als Druckertreiber einbinden kannst,also aus jeglicher Software direkt drucken kannst.

Old article by someone who seems to be an absolute newbie in that field.
