LetsEncrypt is a good option if you want to set it up yourself. More work than cloudflare though.

And you lose access to "your" site if they go out of business. Sounds a lot like renting, not sure where the "ownership" part comes in.

The vulnerability was discovered during a pwn2own competition. The competition was endorsed and probably sponsored by Synology. Not sure what the problem is?

OP: asks for advice about IRC

just_another_person: only stupid and lazy people use IRC

...

just_another_person: why doesn't anyone appreciate how helpful I am?

Wasn't it founded by the original founder of Twitter, not ex-employees? Not that it makes much difference...

Quoting my previous comment:

Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine?

In other words, why "fix" it (and risk fragmenting the community) if it ain't broke?

If you still don't understand why people use IRC then we clearly didn't make the same point, and you misunderstood mine.

People still use it for the same reason we use email... Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine? Anyone who wants to use matrix can set up a bridge, anyway. And I wouldn't consider discord a good alternative.

False - you can get a DUI on a horse (in some states).

Be ready to replace the disk when the warranty ends.

What's the point of replacing them? The warranty doesn't keep them from dying, it just means you get a free replacement. The amount of life left on the drives after the warranty expires depends heavily on how they're used, and most self hosters are pretty gentle on their drives. I could see replacing the drives that are heavily used, but replacing all drives just because their warranty expired seems like a waste of money and effort.

Thanks for clarifying.

Still not sure what you're talking about.. Is someone going to ask IA for payment related to the zendesk email?
