Is it easy to set up SSL on a PiHole? I wanted to get Adguard home setup (similar to Pihole) but the complexity of setting up secure connections and I’m like, “yeah, nobody in my family is going to be able to fix this if something happens when I’m not around”. 😂

For context, I have a single Synology NAS, so recovering and testing the entire backup set would not be practical in my case.

I have been able to test single files or entire folders and they work fine, but obviously I’d have no way of testing the entire backup set due to the above consideration. It is my understanding that the verify feature that Synology uses is to ensure that there’s no bit rot and that the file integrity is intact. My hope is that because of how many isolated backups I do keep, the chance of not being able to recover is slim to none.

How does one realistically test their backups, if they are doing the 3-2-1 backup plan?

I validate (or whatever the term used is) my backups, once a month, and trust that it means something 😰

Fiy, the Mozilla Foundation is one of the highest rates charities on Charity Navigator.

They don’t always make the best choices as far as product direction, but as a charity, they are quite respectable.

I wish I could, but this is a systemic problem, not a problem with one individual project.

Is the mindset that anyone looking for open source, FOSS, or Linux stuff is already tech-savvy enough to know exactly what they are looking for based solely on a text description?

Man, after decades, why does GIMP still have a marketing problem?

Just visit https://www.gimp.org/ and compare it to https://www.adobe.com/ca/products/photoshop.html

Just assume both did exactly the same thing and cost the exact same amount (free or otherwise). Which would you choose based on their website?

Why does GIMP (and pretty much all FOSS) have to be so secretive about their product? Why no screenshots? Why not showcase the software on their website?

It’s so damn frustrating that every FOSS app appears to be command line software, or assumed that the user knows everything about it already.

Devs, you might have a killer piece of software, but screenshots go a long way to help with gaining interest and adoption.
