  • A part of it is concern.

    System administration on a system you’re planning to use remotely over the internet must be done right. Not being sure what you’re doing is how we all learn, but you really should be sure before exposing yourself to the internet.

    It’s not like experimenting with linux on a laptop. Self-hosting is usually about providing some sort of service for yourself, which if accessed by someone malicious, can be used to really hurt you.

    I didn’t tho.

    You’re confusing my homelab with my dads OMV NAS that is running kopia as its only non-standard service because I wanted to use it as my off-site target.

    I wasn’t presenting OMV as the solution to all of OPs examples, I literally just commented to point out “hey this is kinda like hexos but foss”.

    To which you responded “lol no, there is no comparison”. Which is both untrue, and a rude way to go about saying anything.


  • I don’t use docker via a GUI. And I don’t run docker at all on the NAS running OMV.

    My backup solution is Kopia. Two servers, each running an instance that backs up local storage to the other.

    OP isn’t talking about a full homelab. If all you need is a home VPN and some network storage via SMB, OMV is fine.

    For my homelab, OMV would be clunky af. For the NAS at my dad’s end, it’s ideal.

    Well, yes.

    The air doesn’t actually harm the cat, and if one realizes that or doesn’t care, the effect stops.

    The point is to set up something that punishes the cat without your involvement. Another example is the way I set a metal measuring cup atop the toilet paper roll, for it to fall down whenever my cat went to rip it up. It only worked because the sound of metal hitting the tile floor scared the shit out of my boy. It took about a week for him to stop touching the tp, after thay he’s never heard the sound again.

    If you have a fearless beast, then this stuff isn’t gonna work. But if you DO notice something that your cat avoids or doesn’t like, find a way to use it (without harming your cat, ofc).

    That depends on how you trained them.

    If you stopped them from jumping up on the coubter, the cat will just wait for you to not be around.

    What I did was set a motion activated can of pressurized air up on the counter. Now the cat get’s “punished” for going up there whether I’m there or not.

    A couple weeks of this was enough to not have him jump up there for years. In fact he seems to avoid ALL kitchen counters, because he doesn’t jump onto them when visiting relatives or friends, either.

    He still climbs all over everything else, just not kitchen counters.
