  • It seems like the issue here is, users want to be spoken to in colloquial language they understand, but any document a legal entity produces MUST be in unambiguous “legal” language.

    So unless there’s a way to write a separate “unofficial FAQ” with what they want to say, they are limited to what they legally have to say.

    And maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe now they need to create a formal document specifying in the best legalese exactly what they mean when they say they “will never sell your data”, because if there’s any ambiguity around it, then customers deserve for them to disambiguate. Unfortunately, it’s probably not going read as quick and catchy as an ambiguous statement.





  • Afaik the cookie policy on your site is not GDPR compliant, at least how it is currently worded. If all cookies are “technically necessary” for function of the site, then I think all you need to do is say that. (I think for a wiki it’s acceptable to require clients to allow caching of image data, so your server doesn’t have to pay for more bandwidth).


  • My recommendation would be, have two machines: new hw for all your services, and use the old hw for your NAS. Each could be whatever OS you’re comfortable with using. Most everything on the services machine could be in docker configs, including network mount points to the NAS. You might be able to get away with using the 1080TI in the services box depending on what all you want to do (AI stuff, or newer stream transcoding requirements may require newer hw).

    Moving the data from the old NAS to a new one without new disks will be a challenge, yes.

    I have a TrueNAS box and used jails for services. I recently set up a debian box separately, and am switching from jails on truenas to docker on debian. Wish I had done this from the start.






  • If you had asked me Q1 a month ago, I would have said yes (and in general, it is a yes, with enough effort). But i run endeavour (arch) and my partner runs mint (which ships with the Cinnamon WM), and a few weeks ago I recommended that she try out KDE Plasma for its wayland support. Turns out, this is not something the mint community supports, you can’t just install it through their software manager, and the mint forums will all tell you to switch to another distro that supports KDE. Meanwhile, on arch, I expect to be able to install it through pacman, choose it from SDDM, and I’m done. Maybe tweak something in my .config, but it’s all downhill from there.

    Just a datapoint. Some distros (and their communities) seem to be more receptive to experimentation than others, which can make trying new things easier/harder.

    I would recommend fedora, debian, or endeavour + KDE/gnome. Good luck!
