Bonus: there is a literally endless supply of used x86 SFF hardware from large institutions, so unlike SBC’s, there’s no special, weird supply chain managed by an English educational nonprofit that could just suddenly decide to not sell to the public for years at a time.
Encrypting your disk only provides at-rest protection, meaning there are entire swathes of physical attacks it provides zero protection against. Tons of stuff a malicious actor can do during runtime with physical access that you’d never notice. it quite literally only protects against thugs smashing your door in and physically walking away with the disk.
So if you’ve painted yourself into a corner with a baby’s first config, what you can do to step up your level of data protection (until you can redo your setup properly) is creating an encrypted filesystem or filesystem image (use fallocate to create a large empty file, then connect it to a loopback device, encrypt with LUKS, and use it as a virtual filesystem), rsync your data directory to it, and then unlock/mount it at boot under the directory where Nextcloud is configured to store your data. It’s god-awful, but this should be more or less transparent to Nextcloud if you do it right, and then at least your data directory gets at-rest encryption, and tbqh if someone is smash and grabbing your hard drive they are probably more interested in your data than they are your OS config.
I wouldn’t say this is an acceptable or preferable alternative to FDE, but it sounds like you’re still figuring out the best ways to set these things up, and this will get you more protection than none. But, realistically, you should probably not worry about it too much and should think about the security of your setup as a learning exercise/study in best practices.
I wish more content creators would upload to PeerTube (or something like it). I get it, there’s no instances with good monetization options, it just sucks we’re all stuck in various walled gardens because of how expensive video delivery is.
Exactly, It’s a commonly cited example from Manufacturing Consent because he broke it down really well there. But everybody who just read Chomsky for the first time then goes out and tries to correlate every single front-page story with the back-page story it’s supposed to be covering up, like they’ve only ever used a single propaganda technique or being predictable wouldn’t undermine the value of the propaganda.
You know, I appreciate Chomsky, but his work is mainly intended to get you reading and thinking more on your own than to give you all the answers. Not everything that happens in the news media is a distraction from something else just because he broke down that one propaganda trick really well. Sometimes, events stay glued to our screens because they really are the main propaganda event of the day, and they really do want you to spend all day and all night thinking about it.
In this case, Israel needs tons and tons of people frothing at the mouth supporting genocide, and Palestinians are needing just as many, if not more, to consider that genocide may be wrong, and they’re playing tug-of-war in the media. That’s all I’m seeing.
It’s like… could they go do some reading, figure out a good strategy, implement it, then make a video about how to do it properly? Well no, that would only be one video per topic, wouldn’t it?
What mistakes are you going to make “building” a Synology? Getting ATA drives?
Hey, it can be the current directory!
Come back after you rm -rf / or remove glibc, you whipper-snapper! shakes cane

yeah, so it’s a link to Inside Edition, which is the longest-running syndicated news program and has been running since 1989 and is currently syndicated by CBS.
You can verify it’s the same channel as their official channel because Inside Edition’s website (https://www.insideedition.com/ see YT link in top-left corner) links directly to it.
Media Bias Fact Check rates them generally factual – https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/inside-edition/
It’s not especially highly rated as TV news, saw it described as “the fast food of TV news,” but I didn’t see anything that described it as substantially non-factual.
What’s your issue with Inside Edition, again?
Hi, sorry I just saw this. “SFF” is short for “small form factor.” It’s just industry jargon for “a small PC.” They tend to be designed to use less power which makes them a good fit for home servers. Pretty much any line of PC sold to businesses, like Dell Optiplex or HP EliteDesk, will have small form factor variants.
