Yeah, that’s the simple answer. Install a VM, don’t give it network access. Probably quicker to install a distro with a ready rolled installer (Ubuntu/Fedora etc) than to install Arch
VirtualBox is quick to install and easy to use (but the owner of Oracle, Larry Ellison is evil so not the moral choice). Qemu-KVM is a bit more of a faff but is FOSS.
Salt of the earth, common clay of the mid west…
MS Teams app lost its native linux build a few years ago (worked fine just M$ being M$) but the in browser / out of office 365 version still works fine for me.
Yeah the updated/edited version works for me, nice one.
I’d replace “be prepared to explain to others” etc with
“Please ensure it is clear in your post how it relates to selfhosting”
Be prepared is a bit vague. Your preceding explanation calls out that what is in the poster’s mind is often not clear to others, and the rules are there to remind people of the standards required. My suggestion is still a little vague, but I suspect anything blunter might cause offence.
Dictators and propaganda, a tale as old as time
Not a noun, my dude.
Huh ? General usage is both as a verb (to email someone) and a noun (several usages- the system as well as the message), dictionaries seem to agree

I’m a bit puzzled - I have literally gigabytes of emails downloaded to thunderbird and I don’t get any freezes on searching - there’s 15 years of emails from my personal domain, plus 2008-2012 of active use and then passive amounts since on gmail, PLUS 3 work domains over several years in that set and I’ve never had it freeze.
My machine is adequate but not top end (32GbRam, Ryzen 7 3700X, 2Tb NVME/M2 SSD) - it was “good” 4 years ago when I assembled it, it’s probably bottom tier by now. Running Arch, but also dual boot Mint - both are fine with it.
Just checked -there’s 10.3Gb in the personal domain alone. Have a look at your PC config - unless you have tiny amounts of RAM or are running on a super slow HDD there’s something wrong with this picture
It looks like some FAQ answer has leaked into their main website. At a quick dig it seems that Winpinator is the original name for the windows port of warpinator
I have sftp setup on my 2 main PCs and a client on my phone (it’s not a server). For the rest of the family who have dual Mint/Windows boots I also have warpinator installed on mine and theirs - it’s point to point for the enrolled devices but is currently only setup to work within the LAN.
Primary filesharing is simply the NAS which is visible to all devices on the LAN (can be made available externally but I haven’t). This is a recent addition and no one uses warpinator any more.
Edit to clarify I don’t have sftp server on phone
NOT the person you’re replying to.
You, rightly imnsho, got a snarky response because you weren’t just asking a question.
This (below) is fine
What exactly is the risk to the ecosystem?
This (below) earned you the snark.
Since you’re okay with it, you should know what it is, right?
That reads very clearly as “I don’t think you know shit, prove it, and unless you do, you don’t have a right to an opinion”
You didn’t know whether OP did or did not have a handle on the ecological impact. Either stop at the first bit, or word the second less aggressively.
Feedback is being provided here because you are taking an overt “I was just asking a question why are you snarking stance”. If that’s fake then I’ll just block and move on.
I’ll look forward to hearing that the program has been cancelled for no apparent reason in a couple of years after successfully delivering all of its objectives
california doesnt seem to have an endemic mosquito borne disease problem, florida does though.
I’m not American so excuse my ignorance, but I was under the impression that Florida was full of swamps and low lying (fresh-ish) water whereas California was significantly drier, with most water in rivers.
The former is an ideal breeding ground for mosquitos (still or stagnant fresh or brackish water), whereas running water and oceans are extremely poor for mosquito breeding.
Seems pretty clear why Florida (and Mississipi etc) have a bigger mosquito problem to me - what am I missing ?
Cynicism about anything evil corp does is well founded, but this has actually has a solid basis.
I assume they do it for reputation-washing -> look at this one good thing we do and ignore all the other evil stuff
The ecosystem risk is that a reduction in A. Aegpyti population causes a collapse of the insectivores that depend on consuming it and thus starve, with a knock on effect up the food chain.
While this may happen, a) predation is not currently any real constraint on the population, and b) other insects have been shown to be able to take up part of the niche and c) this already an ecosystem which been rebalanced - they are not naturally occurring in the US they have travelled over with humans
Google is thoroughly evil, and I upvoted the cynical parent comment, but on this one subject they are on the right side of the ledger.
Other non disease carrying mosquitos can take over the ecological niche for a net benefit to humanity.
True. But the app makes it easier for noobs to configure. Anyone with basic CLI skills wouldnt be trying to infer Mullvad doesnt work on Mint anyway.
To use mullvad on mint, download the .deb file. Double click on it. Click ok to installing it.
Done.
Edit (Download it off mullvad website if not clear)
For all that I can’t stand Starmer, there has to be more to this. UK France & Germany all said no ? There had to be a catch.
Speculation: given the timing coincidence (story released just as Rubio arrives to berate the rest of NATO) I’ll bet dollars to donuts the amount pledged HAD to be spent on US arms
Edit
UK France Spain Italy and Canada, not including Germany
I hadn’t heard of it before the above post but a quick google duckduckgo search suggests “mostly factual with a bit of extrapolation”, links I found here
TL;DR - 55bn in concentration camps is true, it’s also true some of those camps have incinerators for bio-waste. Whether that means they’re for Auschwitz style mass crematoriums is unknown (and to be realistic it’s not something they would explicitly document if it were true).

Kawasaki - ships motorcycles and helicopters Mitsubishi - cars, trucks, air conditioners
