  I mean, why on earth use a windows VM??? Use a very simple Linux one without any GUI just install sane+ScanservJS and you are in business. Zero overhead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solution for convenient document scanning?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get you.

  The scanner does not support scan to folder. Ok, so there is no other option than using another device to scan for you. Scanservjs fix that for you. Run it in a container of you don’t want it on bare metal, its light and doesn’t require resources unless you scan.

  Sane is just Linux scanner engine, any Linux distro can install it easily.

  I selfhost ScanservJS, uses sane under the hood and provides a nice web URL for scans. You can store the scans on a network or shared folder for paperless NGX.

  I just wish something similar existed for printing as well…

  Got an amazon firestick pro 4k. Have just a 1080p TV, but the pro4k hardware is just better than the other models.

  Fully satisfied. Works beautiful with Jelly fin TV app.

  Has amazon advertising tough, so YMMV.

  Using unbound on opnSense with blacklists. Works wonders and do not require an additional device.

  Went to try pfSense. Need to register to their shop to buy a free download link.

  Then during installation it won’t install unless it can phone home and report.

  OpnSense all the way.

  I do. I find it very useful.

  Is it safe? No idea, but its read only, so seems that they cannot operate on your bank account in any case. That feels safe enough for me.

  These blog posts might seems a bit nahive, but making fun of them is not nice.

  I still appreciated reading them and the raised some questions in me, even if maybe not the ones the author was aiming for.

  Still interesting.

  Whats wrong with people just criticizing everything around here? Are we getting toxic like “the other site”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're overcomplicating production⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a bad take per-se, but a bit condescending. While I agree and like the KISS paradigm, remember that no solution works at a lower complexity level of the problem itself.

  So, define your problem clearly, find the simplest possible solution. Don’t overcomplicate, I agree, but don’t be fooled by false hopes.

  Is it really simpler? Yes. Will it scale if I need it to? Maybe not, but will I really need for it to scale?

  And so on.
