Regardless of whether Hoffman’s stuff is good or not, coffee taste is kind of a unique thing for each person so experimenting and trying things until you find what you want just makes sense.

You can also delegate a subdomain to another provider with an API, but yes I see what you mean. Although I feel like getting port 80 open would be difficult as well in those situations.
It does but it’s a bit of a weird way of doing things.
I’d say they’re actually easier, at least in my experience. Since wildcard certs use DNS-01 verification with an API, you don’t need to deal with exposing port 80 directly to the internet.
You shouldn’t have the do anything specific at all, local network stuff works without internet and Jellyfin doesn’t rely on any internet servers like Plex does for authentication.
Multiple backups are good (really 2 is the minimum anyone should have). It’s just the added complexity and overhead and distributed systems doesn’t seem worth it to me, I have a local backup on a disk mirror in my NAS, and an online backup to B2 and that feels like good enough so far.
I used to use some of those services a little bit, but it’s very expensive and generally very slow compared to just using B2, Wasabi, etc…
As far as a more local solution there are tons of those like Ceph, MinIO, GlusterFS, Garage, and many more.
I just do full system images for that reason, easier than trying to pick and choose what should be backed up. Used to use Veeam, currently using Synology Active Backup.
For online backups I don’t due to size, but for local backups it’s just way easier.
To install at minimum you’ll need to likely shrink existing partitions and create new ones for linux if you don’t want to wipe the drive, that would be a dual-boot setup with Windows still installed along side. Or you can just wipe the drive entirely and have only Linux.
Regarding the files you should already have backups of anything important, if you don’t, set it up ASAP.
Messing with partitions can easily cause data loss if something goes wrong.
You also never know when hardware failure, malware, power surges, lightning strikes, or whatever other disaster will happen and cause data loss. 1 copy of files might as well be 0 copies.
How did they end up thinking that everything must be done with terminal while using Ubuntu?
Most guides on installing things or help on fixing things will offer terminal commands, so I can see how that could certainly lead to that feeling as a new user.
Also depending on the DE and stuff certain very basic obvious settings are not available in the GUI, like fractional scaling on KDE which has to be done by editing some config file first.
Unifi outages are only an issue if you’re paying for their cloud based controller instead of running it locally.
That’s only if you’re using their cloud management BS.
If you’re running it locally it doesn’t rely on any external systems.
Yeah they get a lot of users due to the free plans they offer, so I imagine there’s just a lot of reviews as a result, both good and bad.
Also due to the free plan and being commonly used by home lab groups or small businesses, I think there are a lot of users that don’t fully understand what they’re getting into with CF and may be upset when they find out later on.
If you follow their ToS and understand what cloudflares proxy is doing to your traffic then it all works just fine.
I imagine trustpilot is where people go to vent about bad service because it’ll come up when you search for cloudflare reviews.
Interesting, that sounds much more complex than using some backup software to image the drive!
Neat idea, a lot more money than a 7th/8th gen box on ebay, but you have a built in UPS and screen for troubleshooting which is nice.
Odd, I’ve had a Pixel, Oneplus 7 pro, and now a Galaxy S21 and they all pick up my DNS server from DHCP without any issues.
If you have private DNS turned off it doesn’t, unless maybe you have some manufacturer specific weirdness going on with extra software.
Does a PC connected to the same wifi network as the phone get the proper DNS servers and work like it should?
Garage definitely seems better suited for selfhosters and small setups, Minio is just so large and complex with specific requirements now.
