Apple plans to update iPhones in-store without opening the boxes
  • Obviously they can’t. They place them on a pad, presumably a wireless charging & communication pad. Literally says in the article: “The pad wirelessly turns on the iPhone, runs the software update, then turns it off again.”

  • Do any of us host their own email?
  • I do, a bit differently from what’s been mentioned here so far:

    I actually host my server at home, running mailcow as my email-server-software of choice, and incoming emails do get delivered directly to my ISP-assigned IP via dynamically updated DNS records.

    However: Outgoing email is delivered via an SMTP relay service, specifically Mailgun (I like them because for normal everyday email volume it’s free), because even when I was hosting the email server in a datacenter, it was impossible to not encounter deliverability issues.

  • Tool for Monitoring Bandwidth in Real Time
  • But if he wanted that historical data for, say, making sure an ISP delivers promised bandwidth, then unless he’s constantly maxing out the connection, the usage graph is going to be fairly useless.

  • Tool for Monitoring Bandwidth in Real Time
  • So you want the available bandwidth to be monitored in “real time”, but you don’t want constant speed tests to happen. Then you mention a script doing a speed test.

    You’re gonna have to choose: Either you run some kind of Speedtest on a regular basis, which will give you somewhat “real-time” results, or you don’t do it, and you don’t have real-time data as a result.

    A very quick google search brought up this power shell script, that even formats the results for PRTG:

  • What are YOU self-hosting?
  • Currently one server as VM host for:

    • Nextcloud
    • Mailcow
    • Apache/PHP/mariadb as both reverse proxy for Nextcloud and the mailcow web interface and webserver for personal and company websites, bitwarden and bookstack
    • Custom backup server (wireguard connections to different sites and incremental backup routines with bash/rsync)
