retire earlier having a longer live expectancy

You asked about maintaining wealth and not expanding wealth. Productivity is output per work. If the output per work grows, we need less work to maintain the current output --> workers can chill more. Whether they retire earlier or have a 4-day-week.

Right now that surplus of productivity is just grabbed by the owning class.

once someone pay their fair share of taxes the question is over.

Yeah, right. And if our society wants to take that fair share to expand retirement for everybody, that’s cool. And to what a ‘fair share’ is…that depends. In Germany in the 50ies they basically took 50% of everybodys assets and had an maximum income tax bracket of 95% (which would start at 850k € yearly income today, if they had kept it), literally a max income, if you want. And apparently people thought that to be fair, so there’s that.

explain how

Productivity gains.

that does not means that they should pay for the longer retirement of everyone else

Why not, though?

The most astonishing part to me: in 1996 the government still gave a shit about court rulings.

The most basic solution would be a SSH reverse tunnel to a VPS outside. Have a machine in your network establish that tunnel and set it to reconnect automatically. Now you can SSH into one box of your network. If the router acts up and factory resets (as long as it reestablishes the connection), you can SSH back into your network and reconfigure everything from there.

Open Office =/= Libre Office

The latter is a long standing fork of the former and considered the “FLOSS standard office suite”. It has a “modern” ribbon UI, but you have to set it like that, it usually comes with the “old layout” by default.

OnlyOffice is another office suite which brings a ribbon UI by default.

While not open source Softmaker Office mimics Microsoft Office the closest (and claims the best available MS file format compatibility, but I cannot say anything about that).

It’s how we end up with curl https://some.rando.url/install.sh | sudo bash -c as an acceptable way of installing software. Don’t understand it, don’t question it, don’t look at what that shell script you’re running as root does, just copy / paste / and go! I don’t want to care about the details!

How do you know that people do not read the scripts first and come to the conclusion “that is safe, nice that somebody build a convenience script I just need to read”?

there are dozens of replies like “just use yunohost” or “just rebuild your entire server with unraid”

Same as above. I read those comments as helpful “hey, that worked for me, maybe it does for you, YMMV” instead of “everybody should do it”.

Well permaculture is a thing in gardening ^^

I mean, it’s not “forever” as in “until the end of all things”, but as much set and forget as I would like in a knowledgebase (and in a garden).

Depends highly on the people. I learned that way, to get started with recipes enabled me to get early successes which in turn motivated me.

Down the road I needed different things from my setup, which could not be found in a simple recipe anymore, so I needed to learn the parts of the machine.

https://html5up.net/ if it is a single landing page. Just grab a template and edit its content to your liking.

Publii if it is some kind of blog or has a few subpages.

That totally depends which institution you want to petition!? Like, how do I officially petition my neighbourhood council? Or how do I petition my boy scout association for something?

There are many cases where it’s just “I and those 50 people want something from a very local instance of something”.

Hell, it could be, that I want to ask my local grocer to list a specific sort of pepper and show them, that he would have more customers than just me, so it’s worth his while.

FWIW Taiga had an rewrite and the successor is https://tenzu.net/en/

That was my best customer support interaction ever. Company did not let me register with a “new” TLD email address, as “this is not a valid email address”. I wrote them from that email address. They respondend to that email address with “this is not a valid address”. I wrote back “how are we writing, then?” and never heard back 😂

Yep, fair. Those docker-composes which just forward the ports to the host on all interfaces should burn. At least they should make them 127.0.0.1 forwards, I agree.

all internal services will be accessible

What? Only when they are configured to listen on outside interfaces. Which, granted, they often are in default configuration, but when OP uses Docker on that host, chances are kinda slim that they run some rando unconfigured database directly. Which still would be password or authentication protected in default config.

I mean, it is never wrong slapping a firewall onto something, I guess. But OTOH those “all services will be exposed and evil haxxors will take you over” is also a disservice.

Idk if I understood the problem correctly, but you can renew with DNS challenge, if the real server is not reachable directly.

I get the same feeling, like, as if three letter agencies from all over the world start targeting your server specifically in 300 ms.

What happens is, yes, your server is immediately bombarded by ScriptKiddies from all over the world, and if you set up root SSH with hunter2 as password, that thing is taken over immediately. But if you only allow keyfile SSH you’re 98% there already ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All config with docker is the same, so basically every service is kind of maintained and especially backuped the same.

Plus, config is just files. If the server is dead, copy volumes and compose files to new machines, two commands, all services up again. No difference in how to deploy some services.

Yep, used ECC server RAM DDR3 or DDR4 is basically thrown out. Unfortunately most consumer mainboards do not support ECC.

Yeah, but storage requirements go up, so it stays the same (at best). It feels more expensive though.

Don’t even need storage or performance or anything on the VPS, just forward stuff to the homeserver.
