I think the main thing is for you to try doing a test restore of your data before you need to (and you already have a local backup anyway if your test goes wrong)

That will give you a better understanding of the whole process - they might be 100% reliable in storing data which is totally unusable by you because you've lost your decryption key, weren't backing it up correctly, etc (for example).

If you do find their site works on a other browser (and I mean, the browser, not due to an addon, etc.) then complain to the company / bank / etc.

If they take your complaint seriously then I'd persevere with them... if they don't then they're not customer focused and your business (money) goes elsewhere.

Yeah... I've been trying out the resizable cards and... well... hopefully the next version will be better.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for incremental improvements and that means we need a Step1 somewhere.

I wanted to just change one dashboard, but there's no migration option (yet?) which is fair enough, so I created a new one and tried copying over cards...

I have a couple of Glance cards with a title and I can't really get a single row of icons with title to line up nicely unless I use a 3-row card...

But, it's also nice to slim down a Graph card to just 2 or 3 columns wide if it's a short-duration graph.

I look forward to the next revision.

I'm struggling with what appears to be buggy wifi on an old Lenovo laptop... I spent a moment just looking at the logs and appreciating whoever has spent time and energy trying to get this working, probably reverse engineering without any support... I wonder if that was Larry...?

I'd also split #2 further:

2a: Using a domestic DSL router and Synology NAS to run everything 2b: Has a Raspberry Pi (or 6) maybe a 2nd repurposed old PC and possibly an unmanaged switch 2c: Full height 19" rack, UPS, firewalls, managed switches, full virtualisation with SAN, redundancy and 100Gb full fibre internet

I'm somewhere between 2b and 2c

Yeah, I have trail sense installed - but everytime I'm out and about I just can't work out how to use the myriad functions it has (like how high something is, etc)...

I really ought to RTFM and try to use it properly

This must've changed as I've shucked WD Elements / Book drives and they were normal drives...

So, you're saying the actual harddrive has a USB chipset onboard and only a USB interface?

When did this start happening?

This is a really good point - us "believers" probably don't glance at the negativity because we know it's (generally) incorrect, but how others perceive it can be hard to convince if all they read is negativity.

Consider that most people know a laptop runs an OS, so they can distinguish "Dell" from "Microsoft", so I'm often baffled why people stuggled when moving from WinXP to Vista / 7 (ie a whole new experience... and often asking where to get a hacked version for free), but when I suggest putting then they run away.

It all depends on your usecase to define the risk vs effort.

I work in a cyber security role, yet my personal laptop has minimal security, because it doesn't need it. Am I keeping military secrets on it? No. Does it contain bank records? No. So no full disk encryption, no app sandboxing, no AV scanning.

My work laptop... well, that's a different case altogether.

My advice: do 1 thing at a time and make sure you understand it. For example, do you need a SSH server on a desktop device? Just disable it and that's it secured. No need for additional jails, fail2ban, firewalls, etc... now it's easier to maintain, which improves your overall security posture.

Have a look at Lynis and CIS-CAT, etc to audit your system... if it's vulnerable and you don't use it, remove it.

That's why I use Arch... it only has the components you need.

Whatever you do:

  • keep notes
  • consider the 1st build "wrong"
  • "destroy" it (before it's the only place your data is stored in)
  • build it again

That means you'll really understand it and how to maintain it.

And others have said: 3-2-1 backups

And I thought having 1 "feature wall" with a different colour was good.

Just wanted to add my thanks...

This is a sanctuary for me as life's too crazy for me to contribute meaningfully to this instance at the moment, but I really appreciate the effort going into this.

I hope Tom's ok in the real world, and maybe we can get the same domain name back one day.

Thanks again.

I have a few devices running Arch... Rasperrys, laptops, a NAS, etc

After an update I'll run pacdiff to check for any updated configurations to look out for.

On the laptops I'll use meld to compare and it's nice to visually pick and choose what to update.

But for the headless units, I'm using vimdiff and it's sometimes difficult to see what to change - esp. when a few lines in a block of changes needs picking and choosing.

What other approaches are you using for this?
