The document libraries (the sections of a sharepoint site that store files)* - there is a "sync" button you can press to get them into the OneDrive client on your PC, and therefore into file explorer. (It's also possible for admins to automate this)
Your boss did this not the best way*. They should have created a SharePoint site, maybe a few extra document libraries within that site, and have the files in there. Then added people as members to the site, maybe lock down a few of the document libraries/folders as required to specific people.
Then for ease of use people can open the libraries and click the sync button. Although if you have too many it'll slow down/break.
OneDrive/SharePoint is not a drop in replacement for a file server, and those honestly still find their use, but a lot of places with a bit of re-structuring can work just as well if not better through SharePoint . Especially if they put in the effort to start using other SharePoint features.
Losing things is one of the risks of any setup. With paid for services you are putting trust that the provider has put in place methods to prevent downtime/data loss. Self-hosting means the onus is on you. Make sure you document things, make sure you have some kind of backup in place, and update things regularly (but maybe not straight away, just in case).
Also expect to occasionally run into weird issues that you need to figure out a fix for. I am 99% sure it was for my NextCloud-AIO setup a year or so ago, but there was an update to it that broke the setup if you had created the containers previousy at a certian time. You needed to run a particular command inside one of the containers to fix it up.
There was also the time where I migrated things off a physical server to a VM, but missed the script that was doing my certbot DNS challenge renewal. I had not documented things back then and a few months later all my services stopped working, that took a bit to re-do.
I do make sure to keep backups of my VM's, and for the VPS I run I pay a bit extra for vultr to keep backups/snapshots there. Along with actual documentation of how I did the setup, I've got things stable for the most part.
Here's my Heimdall homepage to give an example of different services I run, as well as some links to other websites. Blanked out a few things for privacy and eyepatch reasons (not sure if that's allowed here).
I use vaultwarden (open source implementation of bitwarden server). Yes it's a seperate service to manage, but it's a dedicated password/secrets manager that can do otp codes.
I've been running the docker container for a few years now and it's been rock solid.
Amount of content in the form of posted items I think is good. But the lack of comments/discussion is disappointing at times. That being said, I do not miss the lack of useless comments like "first", or ones that were just "r/relatedsub", etc.
With friends: Deep Rock Galactic. It's just good fun, and how all the game systems come together means you can easily play it with friends for 1-2 hours a night without it going stale (at least in my opinion).
Solo: I just picked up Baldur's Gate 3. Not even off the Nautiloid yet, and it's not my normal style of game (normally more action focused), but it's gotten good reviews not just for the game but the attitude the developer has taken, and that I want to support. I also want a change of pace to be honest.
I know I could have gone that path, but I'm a techie at heart who loves pushing buttons, sometimes having to get myself out of a mess I created.
It's a hobby to self host things for me. Given that I host it in a docker container also means I'm yet to break it.
I think the self host option also gives you a few more features than the free bitwarden official host option?
You have the right to repair your Apple device on their terms, with their overpriced tools, with their overpriced parts, following their restrictive terms, and authenticate almost every repair with Apple.
If you try and get a part from another supplier, or source your own genuine parts from dead devices that's going to cause "bugs", like faceID or auto brightness not working if you have the audacity to repair "their" device.
They're also going to work like hell to use any loophole that allows them to deny self repair.
Remember, it's Apple's device, you're just using it.
Yes, this reads jaded as hell. But given all the things Apple have done to deny self or 3rd party repair it's hardly lies.
Why is this even a comparison? India only went to the moon, interstellar had to go to other freaking solar systems and a black hole to make their documentary!
I honestly didn't even notice that! Disabled the extension and tested things out, it looks like there's no automatic "open this website in container X" option without using the extension. If I'm wrong I must have missed it. That's another main part of my workflow, basically have sharepoint sites for the various 365 accounts (one for the company I work for, others for clients), that way it always uses the correct account for each instance as an example.
The sharepoint itself - browser only
