I don't think Trump would be worse for them. It might actually part of their strategy.
While Trump was worse for them back then when he wanted to play "hardass", it's a different situation now. He is far more isolationist than before.
Harris has always backed both Israel and Ukraine. Both things are bad from a Iranian regime POV. For them it is much more desirable if Trump stops aid to Ukraine and Putin wins the war - which will keep Europe occupied for decades, out of their way in the middle east and very likely is favourable in a lot of ways to them. If Putin looses it will very likely mean a regime change in Russia - and the chances that Iran looses their last relevant ally are fairly big.
The same goes for Israel itself. Trump might have played "nice" with Bibi the last time,but it's another situation now. If shit hits the fan even more than it does now, Trump will do whatever his base back home likes most. And while most of them are surely deeply against Muslims, they are also/maybe even more antisemitic. And if Trump will do nothing in a situation like that, he wins in the eyes of his powerbase (while Israel and the middle east as a whole looses). The only thing risky for Iran in that situation is the fact that Trump would be far less likely to restrain Bibi. But Bibi is on the way out anyway.
It might also simply be an "suggestion" from the Iranian "friends" in Moscow to influence things a little. Someone asks for a favour because a second crisis area puts the focus away from ones own front yard. And having an old friend/employee in the oval office surely helps.
Let's not forget the perversion of regimes like Iran: A conflict with an old enemy can be a very stabilising factor for a dwindling regime. The lack of restraint Israel showed in Gaza and Libanon put even the more moderate forces in the middle east but also within Iran back on the "Israel is the arch-enemey" line. This is the point where the regime now can unite more moderate parts of their internal as well as external stakeholders behind a common cause with a slight "we told you so!". That is sadly very much a benefit from a prolonged conflict for them.(Which Trump is far more likely to enable them to sustain)
Anyway: Iran would be surely worse off with Harris - so they might have a lot of incentive to do what they can to get Trump into office.
It sounds strange maybe,but I found Zabbix way easier for these scenarios.
For more advanced deployments it is different,but for what you describe it is really easy
They set up a business.
They do business. They should ask someone to do this whose business it is. Not you. They are taking advantage of you.
You will certainly and 100% ruin your friendship with them.
Keeping a server secure is an ordeal for a professional - especially when it comes to using it as a business server.
Doing E-Mail yourself, especially in a professional capacity, is a god damn nightmare and even most professionals refuse to do it and rather pay someone who handle it. For a reason.
The usecase you mentioned does not require a server. It can easily be done via a web hosting provider. Unless there is something shaddy going on and you/they are afraid of storing that stuff with a provider. But for what you mention here you need a simple web hosting provider for 5 bucks a month.
Actually doing that yourself is far more complicated than you imagine here. It's not just the server. How do you get a connection with a static IPv4 to host your services? Actually preferably multiple static IPs? Are you considering a CloudFlare tunnel? How do you plan redundancy if that connection craps out? Or the server kicks the bucket. Or power goes out?
This alone costs FAR more than the money you pay for a cheap webhoster or even a VPS. (Which you don't need,imho)
For the love of god or whoever:
Don't do that.
You will be liable/responsible to them (at least from their point of view) if their IP is on Googlemails blacklist and now "that one important client mail did not arrive in time". Or if the cheap residential DSL craps out and their very important site is just having the sale of their life?
I am absolutely for self-hosting things, don't get me wrong. I selfhost basically everything (but no mail...that is a shitshow), mostly on FOSS.
But don't start with someone else's business if you start doing this. Selfhost a few easy things. Get a Mini PC and proxmox, selfhost within your home network, then expand slowly.
Damn, that is exactly one great to mTuch. If you're great grandparents (mainly your great grandfather)would be born on German soil it would have been easy.
If your heritage is (even partly)Jewish(or you can prove that there was prosecution for other reasons) and you can prove that they lived in Germany (and left before the war ended) there are special rules and you might be eligible.
How far away are they really? German rules about that are fairly lenient and courts have expanded them a bit recently.
Maybe any other EU country you could qualify for? Ireland is often a route some US citizens take - once you have their passport you are free to move wherever you want.
Medically the nose is far better equipped to deal with pathogens, so breathing through the nose would be better, both in (to "filter") and "out"(to get right of stuff).
More important, nevertheless is proper hygiene - wash your hands, fellas.
And do not touch your face,but especially not your nose and eyes after you have been exposed to germs.
Besides that there is literally zero evidence for anything else - the very limited research in some breathing techniques has all been debunked sooner or later.
If you want to be sure,wear a proper N95/FFP2 mask.
Proper means: Tight fitting, the right size for your face (not the cheap ones from the truck stop).
Any company allowing the unregulated use of these on their devices has a information protection and most likely also an IT security problem.
Even more valid for any government security or law enforcement organisation.
The act requires a certain market position from a company. Which Twitter once definitely had - but does no longer have.
A lot of companies have turned their back on Twitter due to Musk (not only advertising wise but especially communication wise). And that does reduce the impact it possibly can have on the market. (Remember: The DSA is a market equalisation act)
It depends.
If Wikimedia does introduce a paywall they are SOL. I would absolutely fork them privately (I do copy the content for my language once in a while and the most important media)and never pay another penny.
If a news outlet changes, it's different,at least for me.
I am self employed and actually do that whenever possible (which is a rare occurrence these days,but I managed to do it for six month once).
It sounds counterintuitive to do so, but it's actually a fairly nice concept.
You work for two days, which is not that long and offers you enough chance to really work "all in".
Then you sleep in in Wednesday and do most of the weekly chores - all that shit you would normally do half of your Saturday. And then you do another two days, already approaching a full weekend - which is far less likely to be interrupted by these lousy chores you normally need to do.
And if some things remain,you are not having four but two work days in your bones - which makes them easier and usually faster to put behind you.
