I may be biased, but lemmy.ca is pretty great

Windows wont care either way, it's just an unreadable partition to it.

You need x on directories and executable files.

Honestly tho you could leave x on absolutely everything and probably be fine. Just pull it off your media / untrusted downloads.

If you use u+rwX style syntax instead of 755, the capital x will only apply to folders. Then you can do it all in one command and don't need find.

Subspace, also known as Continuum later in its life.

You could do something like nextcloud to solve a lot of issues, but I'd still hesitate to recommend on-prem hardware and managing hardware yourself. It really comes down to the business tolerance for outages though, maybe the computers being down for a day or two doesn't matter.

Are you providing a support contract long term? Are you backed by multiple people in case you're away and their business is down? I say this more figuratively than specifically you, this could also apply to their internal IT guy who wants to do this.

I'd strongly suggest deferring to a local business IT services company, unless you're an active partner in the business. They should find a company they are comfortable with and trust, then use the products they recommend and are comfortable with.

You got it from a friend on a pile of slackware and floppies labeled various letters. It felt amazing and fresh, everything you could need was just a floppy away.

Then we got Gentoo and suddenly it was fun to wait 4 days to compile your kernel.

Aka the compliment sandwich. A technique I personally dislike. Be honest and open with your feedback in a positive way, don't try to hide it between compliments. If your feedback is simply negative, keep it to yourself.

Did you enable accept subnets or exit node?

Try doing a --reset --up and don't turn on any extra features.
