Running memtest to check if it’s a RAM issue might be worth it.

Also could be overheating storage, that can cause weird issues.

The government already has every US citizens number anyways.

Why not? Its nice to have fun with your website.

Just missing like 90% of the features and UI

Discord is fairly unique, there isn’t really a replacement for it that works well.

There is barely any overhead with a Linux VM, a Debian minimal install only uses about 30MB of RAM! As an end user i find performance to be very similar with either setup.

I run debian on everything, so I set up unattended-upgrades for security updates and basically forget about it. Docker updates are also automatic with Komodo, just make sure databases are pinned to a major version.

For monitoring my services I use Uptime Kuma, and get an alert if a service goes down so I can fix it.

Been pretty solid for years now. Things get rebooted every month or two when I do a Proxmox upgrade and reboot the host.

Tor creates a ton of connections to all kinds of places, so that might have been the source.

Not a clue how tbh, I’m not much of a programmer.

An hour is crazy, something definitely isn’t right.

That said ncdu is still pretty slow, large scans can take several minutes if there are lots of small files.

I wish there was a WizTree equivalent for Linux that just loaded the MFT nearly instantly instead of scanning everything.

Do you have any apps open in the foreground or background while doing the packet capture? Check with top or htop and make sure all your apps are truly closed.

Amazon, Hetzner, and the others are VPS providers among other services, so seeing connections to those by apps could be fairly normal as they often check for updates or download supporting items to make the app work.

I’m confused now, I thought we were talking about the bit here “let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services”

But either way, you can also install another app that does let you connect to local AI if you want to use that kind of thing.

Couldn’t you just install whatever apps you want for the services you use?

Why is letting you connect to services bad? Choices are always good.

Everyone has email, and text is also a good option.

My local town alerts come through both, with more urgent alerts like if a fire starts nearby through an automated phone call.

In the case of these ones you just remove the LXC/VM it created.

Install Debian as a server with no GUI, install docker on it and start playing around.

You can use Komodo or Portainer if you want a webUI to manage containers easily.

If you put any important data on it, set up backups first, follow the 3-2-1 rule by having at least 2 backups in place.

The problem with stuff like yunohost is when it breaks you have no idea how to fix it, because it hides everything in the background.

Sounds like NFS might still be the way to go for you.

For backups personally I use Restic and connect over SFTP via SSH, since that’s just built in and doesn’t need any configuration.

For more traditional file sharing I use WebDAV with SFTPGo, since I need windows and android compatibility too, and webdav is pretty easy to setup and use.

And I also use Syncthing for keeping some directories in sync between devices.

Not with Bluehost.

Only if you enable their proxy on a DNS record, or use their tunnel feature. Otherwise it’s just DNS with no access to your traffic.
