That’s highly dependent on the hardware. My router only has two ports.

Just to make sure you know this, routers are not switches. You might get some of them to sort behave like switches with careful configuration, but most of the time it’s asking for a lot of trouble.

You have three routers? Why?

Throw 2 of them out and get actual switches.

Most operating systems these days are just micro-kernels to run the actual operating system, your browser. Most users will be perfectly happy using whatever in most cases as long as you can get one of the major browsers on it.

If they have special requirements, then you need to figure them out first.

If they want to learn how to run their own stuff, go ahead and teach them.

Do you think sister here wants to learn how to run nextcloud?

I definitely think they should help their families out. Helping them select an alternative service is helping out.

Being on the hook for endless tech support while getting blamed for everything is not helping out. It’s also not healthy for your relationship with your sibling, and it’s not a good use of family holiday time.

A partner is different. You already share a lot of infra, and since you presumably spend a lot more time together it’s not likely to impact your relationship as much unless you go full Pat & Mat do IT.

This is my most heartfelt advice: do not do hosting for family members. You will get no end of trouble.

Find her a commercial service she can trust. Or throw up your hands and go “big tech, what can you do”. But do not, under any circumstance, run her IT.

The “wings clipped” tweet still haunts me.

She is such a remarkable and genuine person, we are all worse off without her contributions.

He doesn’t have bash. I’m not sure I’ve seen a system this millennium with Perl but not bash.

I can’t really think of anything that’s less frustrating than sh and ticks all your boxes. You can try TCL but it’s bound to be a removed show. It was painful to use two decades ago.

Perl is a step up in terms of developer comfort, but it’s at the same time too big and too awkward to use.

Maybe a statically linked Python?

Aww, that sucks.

It’s amazing. You press one button on a new out of box Mac and you’re in a zsh!

Also, sleep and suspend just work.

It depends on what you mean by seamlessly. I have the Safari bookmarklet menu thingy on iOS and it works great.

I’m using it 99% for recipes. But, I haven’t lost a recipe since I started using it!

All self-hostable software should do single sign-on the way Linkwarden does.

If you are wondering whether or how to support OIDC or SAML or other SSO, look no further for inspiration.

That’s not right. It’s not even wrong.

TSMC provides the cell library.

Store torrent files. The magnet links are just the hashes of the torrent files.

Yes, the magnet link points to a specific torrent file, but you will only be able to get them if anyone is still sharing it and currently online.

If you have the torrent file and the content, you can start a new swarm if the old one is dead. If you only have the magnet link and the content, you can’t.

Why?

That’s a rather absolutist claim when you don’t know the orgs threat model.

My recommendation would be to use a hard disk in a single computer, and to use a single operating system for a single computer.

Then you pick the most capable, fastest, native FS that fits your bill.

If you need to transmit data between computers, use the network. It’s that it’s there for.
