Hi folks, I’m just getting into this hobby thanks to the posts in this community. So far, I’ve installed Ubuntu server 22.04 on an old laptop and got paperless working, and I’m pretty pumped. Now I would like to access it outside of my home network on my phone....

I’ve been interested in building a DIY NAS out of an SBC for a while now. Not as my main NAS but as a backup I can store offsite at a friend or relative’s house. I know any old x86 box will probably do better, this project is just for the fun of it....

At my workplace we use a program called OfficeStatus to track whether someone is on, off, or WFH. Unfortunately, it’s losing support at the end of the year and we’re anticipating a windows update breaking it at some point....

I have an e-commerce website that needs to send emails to my clients to confirm shipping… Do you have any free software to advise to send emails with a rest API? Thanks

I assume I would still need pytorch, transformers, etc. What is the absolute minimum system configuration required to avoid overhead such as schedulers, kernel threads, virtual memory, etc. Are there options to expose the bare metal and use a...

I’m trying to access my Pi-hole container from pihole.mydomain.com without any ports or /admin, and I swear the multitude of posts on the internet make this seem really straightforward. Perhaps it is and I’m being dumb, but I cannot get it to work....

I have an old x86_64 computer which I am planning to use as a NAS. Which of the 2 is a better option? Is it helpful or better to run on bare metal or as a VM on proxmox?
