Valinor - Proxmox server Khazad-Dum - TrueNAS Scale Rivendell - Ubuntu 22.04 server

Got a few others as well, but those are the ones I interact with the most.

A secure but inaccessible server is useless.

Security must take into account the needs of the real world.

Oh damn my formatting got all mixed up.

I’ll fix that

Animal Crossing City Folk

Zelda Windwaker

Pikmin 1/2

Zelda Minish Cap

Wario World

Yoshi’s Island

Pokemon Pearl/Platinum

Those games were basically my childhood, so yea definitely my favorite.

So, at least on Samsung, the MyFiles app, the default file browser, allows for network connections via smb.

In my case, I use a vpn to tunnel into my network, and then just use the smb share.

It also allows for FTP and SFTP.

SSHFS also has a windows release.

There’s a weird thing with bind mounts and permissions.

In my case, for my Ubuntu VM to have correct perms for 0:0 (root), the PID and GID in ProxMox’s fstab need to be like 11000:10000 or something.

It’s apparently working as intended that way, but it’s weird.

Right now my TrueNAS is virtualized and I truly hate it. It’s been a constant issue for me.

That said, I can’t afford separate hardware atm. I will be able to soon, but not quite yet lol

I don’t think this would solve your particular use case. However, SSHFS is absolutely amazing for remote smb share access.

I used it on my laptop to access my home NAS for years.

You definitely can. Idk why the commentor above you thinks its local only?

I have two severs I swap between exactly like you describe.

Yea diskpart is its own little beast.

Surprisingly really functional though. Probably my favorite windows command

What are bottles?

Office 365 online can be a good stopgap for those cases if you need it.

Technically I do, maybe? My home server is running ProxMox which virtualizes PFSense. My docker install is on a separate VM, but same physical device. Not sure if that counts lol

I might actually swap to that from Navidrome. Dealing with Metadata has been such a pain and it rarely works properly lol

You csn hate a company and like a product. They aren’t mutually exclusive.

I get the gist of what Opnsense is from the name, but what are some of the practical benefits for a small home labber to use it over PFsense?

The crontab that is found at /etc/crontab very specifically states that it has a user field. I will readily admit that I might be misunderstanding it, but that feels pretty explicit to me.

Yes, you should never use sudo inside a users crontab. If you want to run as root then use the system crontab.

I appreciate the advice! I had never really heard about the distinction between the system crontab and user crontabs. While it makes sense in retrospect, I am entirely self-taught about this stuff, and nowhere I had looked had ever mentioned that there were two separate crontabs.

I would also encourage looking at systemd timers

Do you happen to know of a good resource to learn about those off the top of your head? I appreciate the suggestion!

I have edited /etc/crontab with the following 0 * * * * * root /mnt/nas/freshrss/backups/backup.sh. After waiting for the crontab to fire off, nothing happened.
