    I've found wise.com the cheapest way to pay

    +1 for wise.

    Here's a referral link for one free transfer up to 500 GBP! 😛

    https://wise.com/invite/u/josefd2

    For domains I use and recommend the “no bullshit” domain registrar Gandi (another referral link, this gives 75% off a Simple Hosting S+ pack and 20% off the purchase or transfer of a domain name, but for hosting I recommend Hetzner)

    I highly recommend Gandi, too. They often have a sale for particular top level domains.

    Cloudflare censors and is becoming a chokepoint for the whole internet. Its Content Deliver Network is insidious.

    The more people using alternatives to Cloudflare the better, in my opinion.

    @marcusquinn nginx rewrite rules work at the request processing level. what we need here is to rewrite the content/response.

    @robi Was just thinking that as well - have really been enjoying SSDNodes - they keep giving me too good of deals to resist and now I'm accumulating lots of servers hehe.
    It's like a shopping problem for shoes, but with servers.

    @LoudLemur Basically what @robi said : this driver (or any driver for that matter) will only contain information on how to communicate with the hardware, not how the hardware is made, and especially not why it's made that way.

    @murgero : I tried VSCode a bit more, and tried Sourcetree.
    GitHub Desktop didn't gel for me (don't really know why).

    Update for anyone else sitting on the fence : try VSCode !
    Works really nicely, easy integrated environment, relatively low learning curve.
    Certainly suits me as a relative beginner.

    @robi said in Configure common Downloads folder or just sync?:

    If you're on Windows, there's a nice instant search tool called Everything, which can be useful for finding stuff instantly.

    Spotlight / Alfred (also with full text index) or Find any File on macOS

    If you're on Windows and don't have Admin rights (work PC...) as required for Everything: Locate32 (also available in 64bit 😊) is your friend, works standalone, albeit with an index that (automatically) updates from time to time

    @girish ha! I'm doing an rsync to the new storagebox and yes.. just the last one which is the only one in the temporary local backup space.

    I tried backing up directly to the storagebox but it kept failing. I also see it fails after a few hours when doing it manually but I can restart it easily enough 🙂

    Any tips are welcome for sure though. It's taken a week to get here trying various things... doesn't help when you have nearly half a terabyte of data across your Nextcloud apps etc.

    @mehdi said in Alternative to Parallels/VirtualBox?:

    compared to simply the official Docker for Mac setup ?

    Docker changed the licensing of Docker Desktop a while ago making it no longer free to use for larger organisations.

    @humptydumpty https://gandi.net are good at most things and might do that DNS automation too. They have their own service, I think.

    There is a "Fleet" module in Odoo Community Edition, if you can get that to work. You can setup a great deal of details there including stuff like maintenance dates etc.

    You could also consider setting up several calendars, one for each car. Treat each car like a room or calendar and you could assign occupants for it - driver/passenger perhaps.

    You might be able to use a Gantt chart for planning when vehicles might become available in one of the project management tools. Odoo has Gantt functionality too.

    @humptydumpty during the install you have the option to change how much ubuntu uses - if you left it alone it would have used the default amount.

    If this is a VPS provider, they likely did it wrong as well.

    I seem to always forget about reddit as a source

    Just thought I would point out there is a nice podcast downloader for docker that will let you easily add podcasts to Jellyfin. I added them as a music library. It isn't perfect but it works pretty well. It will search for podcasts you want and auto add them to be downloaded on a regular basis and it will also download the old episodes if you want as well.

    https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab

    Will check this out, but always interested to know how others handle this
