  • I think your approach to monetizing towards companies is great and you should totally do that. As someone that works with an RMM everyday and I've tried nearly all the big box ones. They all suck. So seeing something new in this space is great. Especially if it works.

    I think restricting the home lab level to 1-3 sites could be a viable path? Maybe even license agreement stating not to be used for business without subscription (you might already do this, I didn't read the license)? I'd expect that to be hard to enforce though.

    I did read a bit about the self compiling and think that's a good idea and totally could have signed up with an alias email. But for me, when I want to test something I want it to be a quick docker/k3s deploy. Could you publish your docker containers for home lab, maybe restricting bare metal installs to a license would deter companies from installing due to most in house IT wanting things on VMs or bare metal.

  • This does look great. I'd love to see a free "home lab" license option without having to sign up for something or create an account. The information on your pricing page could use more detail on the "Did you know? You can start with a free open-source membership through our Members Portal" section.

  • I've used addy.io for years and never had a site reject my alias. But I might do things differently than you. I own two domains for emails. My main one that is configured with Mailbox.org. And my secondary domain has its MX records set for addy.io. So when I create an alias I just make it at service@domain2.com. This is probably why I've never seen a service block me. I have seen lists on GitHub for companies to use in their code to block alias emails, and addy.io was in there. Are your aliases generated using their domains?

  • I'm very happy with it. Also used it for three years with no issue. Proton is probably more "private" but I hated not being able to use a third party mail application like Thunderbird. And using the bridge app was too annoying. Also, proton calendars sucked at the time. Mailbox is just caldav and I have no issues with external invites. Honestly, most people's risk vector is going to be fine to not be on Proton or the like. Mailbox will let you auto encrypt everything with PGP as well, but you have to give them your private key which to me, made it less secure so I just turned that off.

  • I've used this service for three years. I used the free version for a couple months and then upgraded to the paid plan. It's awesome. The support is very responsive as well the 1 time I had an issue. And the problem wasn't on their end. I have 1 domain for my email on Mailbox.org, and another domain with MX setup for addy.io. So when I want to make a new email I just type one in on the fly. Don't have to create one on the site or extension first.

    I can't talk about their ownership structure. Seems to be one person or maybe a small team. But that's just a guess.

  • Is this only for music, or tv shows as well? I find myself shuffling shows a lot and it was nice in Plex to have a smart playlist and exclude shows that had been played in the last X days from the playlist.

  • Debian has a package ssh-import-id which you can then run ssh-import-id-gh $githubUsername and it will ingest all the public keys you’ve put in GitHub. Should be able to easily add it to the cloud-init.yaml but I just always install and run this first.

    You can also just copy the keys to the install when you are imaging the SD card.

    Or use Ansible.

  • You should only have to backup the Postgres database. But it won’t hurt to have a copy of your compose file as well.

    This GitHub issue has the steps you should use. And answers all your other questions too.

  • Arch is great. You’ve kinda dipped your toes in it with Manjaro already. I recently moved to EndeavourOS with BTRFS for my gaming computer and couldn’t be happier. I could have done stock Arch but I honestly didn’t care enough to. EndeavourOS has great sane defaults and no bloat. And you can pick almost any DE during the install. Spin up a VM and give it a try if you can.

    I can’t speak to MATLAB though. But all the others you mentioned I also run.

    The only issue I have right now is the half screen flickering with GNOME and NVIDIA drivers. But I just ignore it.
