Proxmox has been pretty good to me. I have an ancient office PC that has proxmox installed as the hypervisor. It's based on debian but everything is done via a web interface (you can ssh or whatever into it too if you needed to). Then I have debian with docker containers, TrueNAS, and home assistant all installed as VMs. Benefits to this means you can put mission critical stuff on the "boring" debian and then have fun with whatever you want to tinker with on an entirely different os/Virtual Machine. I also use wireguard easy which is stupid simple to setup a VPN with. I would strongly recommend keeping all management of the server on the local network and use a VPN to connect. This will get you the "enterprise grade" security. Anything public should go through a reverse proxy/DMZ VM if you host something on the Internet. Use cloudflare or similar as an extra layer if you need a domain name and want a buffer between users and your network. Keep that device and software up to date and you should have a great defense.

IDS wise, it's a lot of work. You're better off spending that time working on building security by design by doing the above and ensuring anything that touches the public Internet has as little permissions as possible (no running the web server as root/user account), firewall management, etc. If you do want the challenge, or are Interested in learning something like security onion, wazuah or whatnot, don't let it stop you.

Hardware wise, affordable and uptime could mean it might be cheaper to have a backup machine. Proxmox has features to support high availability where if one of your physical servers go down, another can take over (2 physical servers that are copies of each other). You could have a decent workstation and then a used PC or whatnot as the backup. More important is probably a UPS and some workstation gear unless you want a screaming server jet in whatever room it goes in. Nothing you've mentioned seems too performance heavy so technical PC recommendations are going to vary based on expected traffic or use cases. My 2014 DDR3 office PC manages just fine but it's for very few people and in air conditioned space. You could probably price out mid grade consumer equipment for the main server and a used office PC for redundancy.

Experts in drug use and addiction told Business Insider, however, that taking some of the specific hard drugs mentioned in the Journal story would be risky for someone of Musk's age, particularly if they have undiagnosed bipolar disorder, as he has previously suggested he does.

The Journal reported that the 52-year-old had taken cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms over the years, including at parties, citing unnamed sources who said they'd witnessed his behavior or had knowledge of it.

More likely it's probably a non-free repository that many people choose to use like an Intel driver or something.

I bet they start a trail run of windows 12 subscriptions or something for low end/discount models, rebrand windows s mode. Or they'll find another way to squeeze more ads into the desktop.

No idea what the quote is from or if it's true, a reverse image search led me to this as the oldest reference talking about online censorship.

It's a protocol called OAuth that pretty much lets google or whatever "sign in with XYZ" company take over the login process then share a unique identifier+ all information requested by the app on that "allow 3rd party to access the following" page. It's essentially letting Google manage the user/password authentication instead of udemy.

I'd make the guess that a lot of family members that would have been offended because they served or at least remember experiencing WW2 are no longer around Ref. It's easier to disregard an opinion of someone as an "outsider", even younger family members. But I'd guess that excluding grandpa/Grandma would be a lot harder when they tell you in vivid detail exactly why they fought what you're voting to have.

Mike's Weather Page is a hobbyist page that aggregates a ton of info.

Yes, paid time off requests or advanced request to use leave (doctor appointment, or other) is typical for any planned absenced in the US.

This isn't new, Trump spoke about project 2025 at Heritage Foundation’s annual leadership conference on April 21, 2022. Since then he's continued to backpedal away from it including during the debate.

Still vote.

It's definitely tedious to track everything. I do like the import feature and it covers maybe 80% of day to day transactions but yeah it's a pain to go and fix stuff. What your talking about with PayPal is what YNAB considers a transfer and payment and is usually part the 20% I have to fix. Bank to PayPal is a transfer transaction, PayPal to purchase is the payment. It can definitely get needlessly complicated and it sometimes automatically imports correctly, especially reoccurring payments or if the transfer is between two linked accounts.

So I'm not low low cost. Live on the east coast after moving from a high cost area of living so I could buy a home.

Median household income is ~$80,000 here or $40k per person

I spend ~$3300 a month for two people and pets living comfortably. I removed my mortgage and any car payments but that includes everything from auto insurance, home insurance, auto maintenance for two relatively new cars, groceries and utilities.

Home taxes are $1600/year and home insurance is $550 but average around here are closer to $800. Not included in the total above.

Home is ~1500 sqft

• ~$200 for electric, no gas so that's mostly air conditioning/heat. Prices go up in summer, don't get much snow here so Winter is mostly off.
• ~$50 Water includes sewer since we're connected here. Other commenters can share about being on a well but if your buying off main sewer, expect to pay $$$ when it needs to be replaced. Set aside money as if you had a water payment and take care of it with maintenance.
• HOA includes trash at $70 a month.
• Internet, fiber is $50. Subscriptions are ~$45 on top. Phones are $60 for two lines. Most friends in more rural areas have cable/fiber but a few have satellite or just mobile phone Internet. About 2+ hours from nearest metropolitan city. Satellite is terrible and expensive so recommend checking https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/ before you buy if that's important to you.
• Car insurance $200 for two cars covered 300/100. Gas is $200. Auto maintenance is $165 and includes taxes, and all the other fun stuff related to owning cars. -- If your young, a guy, have accident history insurance will be higher. Don't skip if you can't afford to replace your car and don't get budget insurance to save. Gas is probably going to depend on your commute. And maintenance is going to depend on your car. Taxes are $300-600 a year each car including property taxes, DMV registration, etc.
• Groceries, $400-600. Eating out $200. This is probably the biggest variable expense.
• $400 misc spending for two. Includes random shopping for the household and any fun money.
• $300 for various gifts birthdays, Christmas, and extra spending to host Christmas or other events. Half of this is just building up for winter where we spend a decent chunk. Sometimes this is used to fly home for the holidays.
• $400 home maintenance budget. Saving for big fixes or general repairs. This will be much higher there first two years. For reference I've got a few pending maintenance repairs that are likely to cost ~$6,000 each expected in the next 5-8 years. (HVAC, water heater, roof, landscaping to deal with erosion and eventually some remodeling). Budget also includes collecting tools.
• Pets $200. Food, litter, toys, etc.
• $130 Health related expenses. Doesn't include insurance which is $400/month out of the paycheck.

And I'm going to plug YNAB which is why I have these numbers, it costs $120/yr which is included. Highly recommend doing some kind of budgeting even if it's on paper in a notebook once a month because all these costs can creep up. If you want free electronic use a spreadsheet.

A term used derogatorily towards sympathisers of authoritarian communist regimes stemming from "send in the tanks" in 1956.

Apparently you can save it to Google drive then download the Google drive program and make that folder available offline so it downloads it to the computer.

1. When you setup the Google Takeout export choose Save in a Google Drive folder
2. Install the Google Drive PC client (Drive for desktop)
3. It will create a new drive (i.e. G: in your explorer. Right click on the takeout folder and select "Make available offline". All files in that folder will be downloaded by the Google Drive Desktop in the background, and you will be able to copy to another location, as they will be local files.

Yes but the camera should be in a place that can't be physically tampered with easily since someone could theoretically unplug the camera and plug into your home network and see all your computers or other devices as if they had stolen your WiFi password. A small risk but it's better to hardwire it somewhere they would need a ladder to get to or get a camera system that connects to a central box inside the house.

If you haven't played Enderal it's worth a playthrough. It's a free total conversion mod of Skyrim.

I'm using a commercial desktop with an i5 Sandy bridge. I maxed out to 32Gb of ram only because I'm running trueNAS, debian with containers, and home assistant. Most RAM goes to trueNAS and trueNAS doesn't accurately report ram. For CPU, mostly just task limited but I don't really think thats a proxmox issue. Obviously it's not going to support an enterprise or even small business but it works for what I need of less than 4 users on my budget.

Proxmox doesn't really ask for much but I probably would recommend docker for your arm devices.
