It’s enabled by default when you login to windows with a Microsoft account, which they very rudely push on you and make it very difficult to login with a regular local account.

Not exactly true on Windows. BitLocker is enabled by default when signing in with an MS account, which is what I’ve done for nearly a decade and I think is the cause of my confusion. I’m just use to encryption being enabled by default and not having to think about it.

Wait wtf? You can just reset root password that easy? What’s even the point of having a password, if all of your data and info is so easily accessed if someone gets physical hold of the machine. I guess so software/remote hackers can’t get your stuff, but still. This seems wild to me, I dunno.

New to Linux so I’m sorry if I’m being ignorant, but it does seem crazy you can get access to a machine without the password.

Edit: Thanks for all the comments below! I guess I’ve been spoiled by BitLocker in Windows being enabled by default and not having to think of disk encryption. Appreciate everyone’s time and responses!

I don’t get to where you are from links you provided but thanks for sharing.

First time I’ve ever seen someone say something negative about FF/Mozilla. Care to expand?

Did he just say he was going to use campaign funds for personal benefit?

I got a quote last year as my furnace is original to the house (33 years old) and we don’t have AC.

It was going to be $25,000, $5k of which was installing new ductwork because the existing ducts aren’t insulated enough.

Easy pass. I’ll wait for prices to (hopefully) come down.

So if I understand correctly, I would spin up a Calibre docker (a la https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/calibre) and then spin up a separate Calibre-web docker and point it to the first one?

Drives me fucking mad. I’m convinced that a lot of articles just read other news outlets articles and regurgitate it.

There’s almost never source material cited. I agree, should be illegal.

Just used this the other day, worked like a charm (albeit a bit slow if I’m honest)

That’s a 5head play, I’m using that next time I have trouble getting rid of something.

Thanks, I’ll have to educate myself on it. Appreciate your time.

but then you lose out on what IMO is the killer feature.

Which is what?

That the secure tunnel thing I keep hearing about?

Do you use that for lemmy as well, as in your instance is private?

Oh interesting ok thanks!

Ah nice. I have an Unraid server but thus far have all the apps and shit I run accessible via LAN/VPN only. I have pfsense and know how to mess with haproxy a little to reverse proxy things through, but I’m not sure how secure that is or if that opens the attack surface up drastically, so I haven’t really dabbled in allowing external access to my server. Might look into it.

Sweet! I’ll check back after awhile.

Out of curiosity, how’s you score a .it domain? I have one, but only because I have family in the EU. IIRC, it was a pain in the pass to get, had to jump through a bunch of hoops to “authenticate” being in the EU.

Oh that’s yours? I was just on the map site to try and find an instance near me and liked your name so I tried to sign up and your signup form says I need to know you.

And now I’m sad.

Where are you hosting it and what’s the cost? I’d spin one up if it wasn’t too expensive.
