  • The simple solution is to use another cloud, such as proton drive mentioned below.

    Another more technical solution is to setup a vpn at home and use vpn + smb to share files with your phones, this one fails if your computer isn’t always online at home or if your internet provider runs CGNAT.

    Your computer could be replaced with a selfhosted solution as nextcloud running on separate hardware, but now we’re firmly in selfhosting land.

    The VPN home could be replaced with a VPS that both your home network and mobile devices connect to as a CGNAT workaround.

    The KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) principle says that getting another cloud storage is the way to go. If you truly wanna own your cloud then a trip to selfhost land it is.



  • After which ctrl+f " in" takes you to the correct chapters. I do agree that a direct link would be more helpful.
    And for learning postgresql I agree it isn’t very helpful - using their tutorial links, w3schools or something like udemy if you prefer video format is the way to go in that use case.

    I remember back when you were told to learn to work with the documentation, not memorize it, because you will always have access to it as a reference. Maybe bookmarking reference books/documentation will make a come back as the search engines degrade.






  • For details follow the link. This is nothing more than the headlines.

    Finances
    The GNOME Foundation reserves policy says that the buffer is too low to run at a deficit any longer, which it has done for three years. This years budget is a break-even budget.

    Strategy & Fundraising
    A five year strategic plan has been prepared and a draft approved by the board. A variety of fundraising activies will be launched over the coming months.

    Board Development
    More directors are being added to reduce workload on individual board members. Non-voting officer seats will be added for the same reason.

    Elections
    Annual board elections is coming up, 6 seats are being elected.




    • Single switch, yes. Personally I would probably aim for a managed (must have for vlan support) switch with at least 16 ports where 8 has PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) with at least 100W total budget. The goal would be to power access points and that security camera through PoE instead of separate psus.
      A cheaper alternative is to skip PoE for now and buy an 8-port managed switch now and a secondary PoE switch in the future if need be.
    • There are access points with VLAN support, so you can have an access point deliver multiple SSIDs that belong to different VLANs. Two things to look for here is Local Management and PoE powered. You don’t want your access points to become paper weights when the cloud management system is shut down. I don’t want to use cloud management at all to be honest.
    • PoE allows you to protect your camera and your APs with the same UPS you put in to protect your network rack.

    Draw up some plans beforehand, quick example where I forgot your video doorbell that would be on a separate SSID/VLAN through the APs if it uses WiFi. Which is kind of the point with drawing it up. It helps you find out what you missed.

    edit: And that is just an example on how to draw it up. I imagine you want your security camera and doorbell to save video on the NAS, so then their vlan need to be able to communicate with the NAS vlan, as another example of missing stuff in the drawing.
