I just use ssh for management. Monitoring is handled by nagios.

Shouldn't use the Xfinity router anyway, that thing is fuckin garbage.

Sounds like a cost of living adjustment to me.

I'd also like to know where these surveys are being run, as the COL varies wildly between states.

This is the one I'm using as well. I use it to keep my work laptop running Linux in sync with the various Windows desktops I use in our offices. Works great for keeping my work keepass vault in sync.

Mail server, but mostly because deliverability in this day and age is a nightmare. If you're some one off running your own mail server in 2023 be prepared to deal with many headaches around IP reputation.

You don't need to be home for a cron job to run.

USB has a bad habit of randomly dropping off the bus until you reseat the cable or reset the device.

If you've got a copy of the data that's local, why are you opening up ports? Just run the backup job internally.

I'm also not fond of using SBCs as a NAS, by nature their I/O is extremely limited. It will probably work as a backup, but man do I not trust a USB interface at all.

I also recommend not relying on email for notifications - too unreliable. I use the healthchecks.io docker image and have it send me notifications via Pushover when something fails.

People who value their sanity. WiFi is unreliable.

All the servers I've spun up in the past few years have been Debian instead of my usual Ubuntu.

The last straw was kinda when I learned that installing docker via the install menu gives you the snap version instead of the normal one, with no indication that this is the case.

Who in the world is using a USB printer in 2023?

Windows 11 on the main desktop for gaming reasons. Currently Pop_OS on the laptop, considering moving to Arch. My servers all run Debian or Ubuntu.
