Yes i agree your sounds

If the only goal is an open source file server (we call this a SAM-SD, there is a section of the forum just for that) then the most likely recommendations for an OS will be openSuse Tumbleweed or Fedora. CentOS and Ubuntu are fine choices too. FreeBSD is excellent, but less well known.

You make it sound as though the wise choice here would be to install OpenSuse etc direct to the hardware.

Ha! Avast....

@stess said in Where do you buy home server?:

Thanks for the clarification. I'll debate with my wallet if I can afford NUC.

NUC is on the cheaper side of the options. What else were you considering?

A solution is always about money. If money isn't affected, then why are you doing this?
We're a business right? All decisions are driven by money, right?

And money can not only be saved, but earned more rapidly by doing X,Y,Z.

So is it time to create a project proposal. (is that the correct term?)

I made a 5 year proposal for an old job that saved them 40k a year and improved everything. They didn't do it

Worth examining in another thread. You should post about it. Maybe it's related to presentation skills or tactics.

@coliver There are ways to prevent it you just have to do it the right way, depends on if you are using an 800 number or what you are doing with the call as it comes in, also depends on what kind of phone system you have. I worked for a company that set up failover for a suiceide prevention hotline that had an SLA of 100% it can be done.

For what it's worth, my $0.02

Decent air coolers (aftermarket) run about $20-30 and will beat the pants off a stock cooler. Overclocking you can get quite high as well.

If you have the cash (or extreme noise sensitivity) then it's worth going to closed loop liquid. H100i has been my go-to with good results but I can't help but say they're unnecessary and I consider them bling. edit to add they also require a more careful cleaning regimen (gentle + more frequent).

I might make the jump to one of those when/if I get a new case. But eventually, the noise won't even matter for me. My plan is to put my PC on the other side of my office wall, into a closet. Then I don't have to hear it at all.

Most people wear headphones so it's rarely an issue.

I did set one up for a lady who works from home on video editing and had tile floors. Echo chamber!

Thank you anyways ... got to maybe rent it out then if anyone needs space.

Wow

Second time this month...thank goodness it doesn't affect Office 365 (Business Users)...

@scottalanmiller said in How Do You Rename a Note in NextCloud:

Hmmm... I wonder which is better. Maybe a little flag of some sort. Having something official would be good. And having something of a rating would be nice.

Yeah, we want to add a rating, but we keep debating the how/what of the rating 😉

Will be there some day. And an 'official' flag exists, some apps have it, others don't.

Very true. You can use a traditional tool, store a backup locally then take any sort of backup of the local system that way.

@IRJ Are you trying to set this up on Nextcloud or Owncloud. I haven't tried this on Owncloud but to be sure, I setup registration on a new system using the same instructions and was able to get full lockout for non-accepted domains.

@BBigford said in Scripting install - help:

We took them on as a client. So whoever setup their stuff in the beginning looked like they were just lazy and careless.

Might have been a gov't organization at some point? Some places in my town were run sort of like that when they were connected up with the state.

@JaredBusch said in NextCloud video/file sharing: restrict access?:

That will, of course, not stop the resharing issue. But that is not what you were asking.

I was trying to keep him on goal, rather than stuck in the weeds 🙂

@JaredBusch could try hitmanpro and adwcleaner to double check..

CLEAR! BZZT!

Just adding some more info to this thread.

https://www.itnews.com.au/news/no-updates-for-windows-781-on-new-hardware-455321

Microsoft's recent Patch Wednesday updates had a sting in the tail for Windows 7 and 8.1 users: if they are running the older operating systems on new hardware, the updates will not install.
 
Users with computers that feaure the latest processors from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm were met with error messages when using Windows Update to get patches, including:
 
"Unsupported Hardware. Your PC uses a processor that isn’t supported on this version of Windows and you won’t receive updates."
 
And:
 
"Windows could not search for new updates. An error occurred while checking for new updates for your computer. Error(s) found: Code 80240037 Windows Update encountered an unknown error."

What hardware is maxed on out the current system? In what directions are you taxed?
