I wouldn’t do this if I were you because any of your activity can be traced back to you via your credentials.

rDNS is something that is not set up by your domain registrar. It’s set up by your ISP or cloud VM provider.

I don’t know of one specifically for clothing but I know of a great ERP free open source software called ERPnext. This could easily work for you.

I cuurently use one of three registrars: Namecheap, Cloudflare, or Porkbun. Porkbun is my favorite and I will move my domains to them as they expire.

Have you looked at Krita and Blender?

This is my take on it as well. My phone is for basic quick communication. My real productivity happens on my laptop and desktop.

It’s certainly coercive, if not an outright threat.

What is your NAS? Is it something you built or a Synology?

Not only is a DIY UPS unreliable, but it could be potentially dangerous unless you are an electrician, an electrical engineer, or somebody that has extensive knowledge of both the engineering side and safety side. How many CyberPower units do you have? It’s impressive that you have enough UPS power to run a NAS for that long.

I use BTRFS simply because I run a rolling distro of Linux. For the average user, I don’t think it is quite as necessary but the snapshots are nice. Of course, you could use timeshift to make snapshots as well.

I have a Dell OptiPlex 7050 acting as a router. But I don’t do any port forwarding. Instead, I have an Oracle Always Free VM that is connected to my server via a WireGuard tunnel. The cloud VM acts as reverse proxy to all of the services that I host. The OptiPlex 7050 is running OpenBSD.

6 months now and they love it.

I like Nemo as well!

LOL! Not necessarily. I got three of my friends converted to Linux. They’re running Linux Mint

You warmed it up for him!

You could simply gut it, keep the case and power supply, and put modern components in it.

This frustrates the shit out of me but I have a feeling it has everything to do with mindshare. Windows just has the majority of the mindshare and a lot of decisions about information technology are not necessarily made by technically savvy people. Even technically savvy people make poor choices. I had a director once tell me that he prefers proprietary software to open source because it gives him somebody to sue if the software fails. Obviously he is neither a lawyer nor much of a reader because the terms of use and conditions basically indemnify the software company.

Linux and BSD are superior in almost every way. You could literally run an entire organization on Linux Mint as the desktop. Even before Linux Mint was a thing, I had a contract job supporting a rollout of CentOS to the desktop at a small publishing company and this was back in 2005. This company did absolutely everything systems related on CentOS. If this company could do it 18 years ago on CentOS, I can only imagine it is going to be even easier today.

Beautiful tabby!

Sweet! That is good news. Given the power efficiency of ARM CPUs when compared to Intel and AMD, well, there just really is no comparison.
