Did you mean Physics Rule?

Anyway, yeah, if you fully expand the terms, you get something like that. Nobody ever accused modern physics of being simple.

The protagonist always wins in the end. That’s a universal law.

The odds of somebody who was interested 6 months ago to be interested today are much larger than the ones of any random person. And you already have their contact, and already made some kind of screening.

The amount of malice people go out of their way to put on other people’s acts is incredible. Nobody cares about you enough to be out to get you. If you don’t want the job, just say it.

Hum, no. The last thing I need on the world is a piece of non-working hard to maintain software.

I’d write something before trying Nextcloud again.

Personally, I’d really like if it could have different users on its management interface, with their own file shares.

It’s understandable why they don’t bother, but I would like to share my NAS without running several instances.

That’s a heavy one. I’m not sure it can fly.

I’ll second people here in pointing that you are better allowing calls from your family during the “Do Not Disturb” than trying to set-up things not to call you during that time. Your phone almost certainly has a setting that allows “favorite contacts” or something like it.

It has a better configuration orthogonality :)

Yeah, that’s not a good reason.

It’s much easier to authorize a key than to input your password on every kind of interaction.

This is the internet. If you poke the bear, somebody will come-up with a completely reasonable use case of password authentication that happened once somewhere on the world.

If you don’t have any good reason not to, always set your SSH server to only authenticate with keys.

Anything else is irrelevant.

You may want to replace the disk on that computer after you fix your boot. (As people said, with a recovery drive, probably the same one you use to install.)

After your computer is back, get a SMART client (like smartmontools) and check your disk status.

I really doubt this is the worst…

It has bones from a single animal, to start with.

Oh, sure, the bloat on your images requires resources from the host.

There is the option of sharing things. But, obviously that conflicts a bit with maintaining your environments isolated.

FileZila has relied in a distribution channel that has turned untrustworthy a while ago.

Since then, they migrated the project. But somebody that doesn’t know what they are doing isn’t sure to get a good version of it.

Just about this part:

Or you might set up an sFTP service to accept a GUI connection from a client like FileZilla.

FileZilla has been a troublemaker for decades (not because the software itself, but the OP won’t get it right), and sFTP requires an extra service.

I’d recommend he get WinSCP or another scp client.

Do not run databases in Docker unless you know really well what you are doing.

It’s completely possible to run them correctly in Docker. But it’s far from trivial, and if you need to ask this, it means that you probably won’t be able to.

Hetzner. But it looks like the problem is created by the pair (hoster, ISP), and neither of them have a problem by themselves.

I get the throughput I brought from my ISP. But latency to my VPS is 260ms.

To check if your problem is caused by excessive memory usage requiring constant swapping. If it is, turning swap off will make some process be killed instead of slowing the computer down.

trying to set up your GPU so it won’t destroy your battery can be a challenge

Avoid NVidia. Get a GPU from a company that respects the way you will use it instead of engaging in malicious compliance so it can claim it works, but it never does.
