  • I’ve been hosting sites oof my home connection for over 15 years.

    Webservers and such don’t have any problems so long as you have the bandwidth to support them.

    I recommend (no idea on EU alt) a service like Cloudflare as that will boost your overall security / hide your real IP from end users

    The big piece that will not work from a residential connection is running a mail server. Thats partly because ISPs try to block them and also because most servers you would send mail to will reject any connections from a residential IP address.




  • The FuseFS thing; yeah It was crazy to me because I must abandon the metaphor by saying…

    MacOS IS Unix AND Linux is really just trying its damndest to BE Unix

    Both MacOS and Unix are POSIX… while Windows requires either WSL OR if you are old school cygwin to achieve POSIX compatibility

    So to a degree they are the similar…

    but like finding a dick on the internet you are always reminded by MacOS that Unix != Linux :) (I love Linux all the same)


  • Mac OS version of Fuse is a commercial software. That said there are other alternatives.

    I use Samba over my LAN and ZeroTier to create a sort of VPN Samba on MacOS is a bit slow (heads up) I have not yet figured that issue out but this setup worked for me for a number of years. (and manages to handle my time machine backups over LAN)

    Any more since most of my remote access needs fall under development I user Visual Studio Code and their Remote connections system (which is pretty fucking good and “only” requires an SSH connection… and a decent amount of RAM on the remote host)

    There are a lot of things to beat up an MacOS over… but honestly getting more technical windows users to from Windows to Mac WILL help Linux adoption. Getting into the underpants of MacOS is very similar to linux (you just don’t HAVE to have fun unless you want to)



  • it was Louis Rossman and recently was within the past month; That said its currently being discussed

    I don’t really like Louis Rossman much but most of his critiques of companies not treating consumers correctly are typically correct

    Personally speaking though removing old firmware from site and adding a genuine cartridge check are the first steps you would take to begin limiting users.

    EcoTank I like because Epson can literally NOT confirm if the ink is genuine or not (if you REALLY were determined you could even get Magenta into the Cyan tank and it would still squirt ink out… although incorrectly of course)
