@hoernchen72 @fasnix @expertenkommision_cyberunfall EXAKT DAS!

Oft sind das #Betrüber die Menschen dazu überreden (#SocialEngineering / #SocialHacking) und/oder entsprechend #FUD machen.

Ist nix anderes als die #Schockanruf-Taktik, nur halt 'irgendwas mit #Cyber' und sei's nen Fake-#Popup.

If you have an old #Android device collecting dust in a drawer, which still is working but too low-end to handle stuff with an aftermarket OS/rom/LineageOS fork as a daily driver, there's this project I recommend to have a look at (#Pi-hole 6.x on Android, needs root and Busybox). You get an #adblocker appliance with screen and built-in battery:

From a different point of views and the fact that one can host a Server on any machine.

Components or machines should avoid as many parts as possible from big tech Bros. That means all for recommendations before should be ignored.
AMD instead of Intel and Nvidia is more compatible with Linux as it supports it.

I'll keep my current stuff as it does not make sense to throw functional parts away, but I'll consider this on next sets.

What do you think?

Continued thread

BTW - if anyone of you has a recommendation for a 19" mini rack server (shorter mounting depth) I'd love to hear about them.

I'd like to try #proxmox for the typical services #homeassistant #nextcloud #paperlessngx #adblocker #vpn etc

Ideally #ssd or #nvme in a #raid plus separate disks for storage (also raid). IOMMU

Doesn't have to be the newest version. A slightly older and used one is also fine.

#boost welcome - thanks a lot!
