My whole life, I never really interactively dealt with cloud or container storage, except the forced upon google drive. I never really accumulated a collection of pics or documents, idk just never a concern. But I read about the importance of secure storage and synching.

Hi Guys,...

Hello! I have a server that runs 24/7, and have recently started doing some stuff that requires scraping the web. The websites are detecting the server’s IP to not be residential though, and it’s causing issues....

I want to unlock the ability to view content on my mobile device. I can do that with a one-time purchase (payed with google opinion rewards) or with a subscription. I want to unlock the ability for my entire family though, across multiple devices. Do I have to pay the “one-time payment” for every device? If so, the plex...

Some projects only give you .tar.gz, what am I supposed to do with them? Is this what people call building from source? Am I supposed to move it to /opt and extract it in Debian based distros? Does this also work on Arch based ones?

I’m buying another 2TB NVME and I don’t know how clone drives so I’m planning to ask the store to clone the contents of the 1TB drive to the 2TB drive, then the 250GB drive to the 1TB SSD and use it as the new boot drive. I’ll use the 250GB SSD as an...

Maybe this isn’t the correct community for this question so please correct me....

It goes without saying, One thing that annoys me is whenever a topic comes up about someone finding something mildly infuriating and there is always that 1 person who has to decide it isn’t because of x, y and z reasons...
