The traditional way is man pages and howto guides, which contain loads of information. You can get man pages in terminal or html (but I can remember how).

Next up is online tutorials like you are using, however with complicated setups, like a full mail server, the info gets very specific and can often go out of date.

Then we have readthedocs, which are the project specific instructions which tend to be very good.

How ever my personal favourite is the arch wiki, you’ll need to know how to change commands to Debian based systems, but it does give a lot of info and insight that is up to date.

For moving from Goole photos look at photoprism, immich and nextcloud, there are others, but these are the ones that made my short list

The guy at work was mentioning immigrants and hotels today, I use him as a baseline as to what the sheep in society are thinking. He’s now actually blaming the previous conservative government and labour for the mess we are in., instead of just the labour government. It’ll be interesting if I hear about this tomorrow

It looks like you grabbed stuff from /dev which I think can’t be moved, it’s created and managed by the kernel

If you did it as root probably broken, if not it should be ok, you might just get programs behaving weirdly.

Postfix and write a milter (mail filter), you can get them to interact a various points in the mail delivery.

I think most things can be accomplished within postfix

Just sailing? Single hard drive connected to what ever

Hosting stuff you care about? Some form of raid/zfs/whatever with at least 2 discs and a backup plan, also hooked up to what ever

That is the bare minimum. Buy used and expect your needs to change within a month/year.

SSD is a bit optimistic for that laptop, quick Google shows a potential 5400rpm sata drive

Wasn’t aimed at you, more of an observation, fttp in the UK is usually sold as 150/150 or 900/900(ish) with some areas having the option for 2.5gbps it’s like when it first launched and ISPs had usage quotas that could be gone in 3 hours of full usage

10TB per month, is that uploads and downloads combined? If so that’s a 1gbps at full speed for 12hours

Only when used correctly

I had a router that I converted to a access point with openwrt, couldn’t get vlan trunking to work, so I ran 3 separate network cables back to the switch and assigned each one to its own WiFi network

This with remote transmission on your phone to control it

Well it depends where you sit on the bell curve, 1/8 of the population thinks the other 1/8 are fucking stupid, whilst been completely oblivious to the fact that they are in fact also fucking stupid

I use xfce as a desktop, so based purely on looks windows xp. The problem is the enshitification of windows, improvements in one area drags it’s screaming backwards in other ways, I’m looking at you control panel, you get dumber and less helpful every time I look at you.

Do you have any spare pcie slots, you can get m.2 pcie cards

Mythtv is awesome if you want to watch live TV, DVR the live TV or watch media. I’ve never been able to get it to work easily with streamed content. However you can just download the content you want and watch it as media. Best part is you can split the backend (disks, TV tuners etc) front the frontend (playback) and have a tiny box sat next to your tv

Are you on carrier grade NAT (CGNAT) WAN ip in the address space 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255?

I feel like hardware raid is relic from the pre multi core CPU days, given that was less than 20 years ago it makes me feel old

Can confirm that moving a zfs array to a new system after a failure is simply connect the disks and zpool import -f <pool_name>

Every raid card I use now is put in hba mode it’s just simpler to deal with
