Get your own Arris Surfboard without the Router elements, make sure it is DOCSIS 3.1 and the maximum bandwidth exceeds your current speed provided by the ISP. I would recommend the SB8200 but check with your ISP to guarantee that they will accept a connection with that model.

Purchase any router you like. I’m sure you can find plenty of router recommendations online. If you wanted a rack router you could even get one of those, but it sounds like you just need a solid wireless router that has good coverage and a few ports on the back, which is pretty standard.

The Linux Foundation isn’t doing most of that legwork though, multiple corporations with their own interests are. Microsoft, Valve, and Red Hat are some of the biggest contributors to the kernel, but they aren’t paying teams specifically to keep up Linux as much as they are paying teams to develop for them things which must be contributed back to the kernel.

Kind of goes against the underlying principles of FOSS to hire a team to work on a project. Not that all FOSS work is volunteer based, but once something becomes an incentivized project the FOSS part starts to become a bit ambiguous.

As someone who makes a living supporting servers running various forms of software, almost all of which is open-source, even just the things I know of the top of my head have large dependency trees. Just look at a base install of Ubuntu, you probably have no less than a thousand projects supporting the system. That doesn’t even begin to include additional functionality, install PHP or Python, even just system drivers, and you can easily double or triple that count.

Make a list of all the FOSS/OSS things you use in your daily life

I wasn’t prepared for a project of this magnitude, seriously OSS is everywhere

Seems like the consensus on this one is it isn’t worth it and until they fix their licensing it’s more risky to use as anything other than a day project. In fact, the licensing is kind of dubious for project work because of its weird stipulations.

Source-avaliable, but not FOSS. You can’t take anything with the PolyForm license and use it for commercial purposes. Seems like using umbrelOS to set up companies with self-hosted applications might technically be against the terms of the license. Or even using the self-hosted applications for your own personal use and making money from any of them in some way may also be against the terms.

Who said security ever had to be difficult for the end-users? The companies that charge $15k per month per service to keep your company audit-ready. Oh and Microsoft is one of the more “seamless” providers for auth and security services out there, amazing.

This makes me think of how Anytype stores files, it’s impossible to get your files from Anytype without exporting them through a tool in the software. If you delete Anytype, you have to reinstall it to get your files back the way you made them.

I doubt many are looking for 8-bay DAS, anything larger than 4-bay you are probably better off with NAS. Many DAS have limited RAID support, which can make having more drives more risky.

You can set it in the BIOS, regardless of OS.

This is how we handled camera servers at one of my former jobs, we just setup HP SFF desktops with Windows and the software and turned on the watchdog timer, always did the trick when power outages or system hangups happened.

It is entirely possible to start with a 2-bay drive rack (not a caddy, we want something without the connections) and then run the SATA out the back of the computer to the drives. It’s a compromise for this low a budget, but it’s not a major sacrifice.

That think center looks perfect for this use case. Especially if it’s running Debian or arch.

Older thinkpads in this price range will not perform well as servers. They will be pretty limited in specs. Better to go with a used SFF or other form-factor business model desktop.

I’ve been using ArchiveBox, this looks a bit more feature-full than ArchiveBox although it seems like ArchiveBox has been pretty stable. Anyone have experience with both, can vouch for the pros and cons?

I may take some time to compare the two. After taking another look at Linkwarden I get the impression it may handle archiving pages differently than ArchiveBox, which isn’t a bad thing it may just not fit the usage of everyone who uses ArchiveBox. The presentation and UI look really good, which is something I find ArchiveBox suffers a bit from.
