I 2nd this.

Be aware hosting media thru their proxy is breaking their ToS. Not saying anything will happen, but be mindful.

Clonezilla. Done it too many times.

Not sure what beforehand means, but I get in the shower, sit for 20 mins and think, then stand up, get wet, add bar of soap to wash rag, put wash rag all over my body, rinse, then get out and dry.

Oh ok. That’s awesome. I didn’t know it could do UDP/TCP proxying. That’s awesome.

I’m not sure if you can proxy smb as it’s not http/s data. If using NGiNX you could use something like the stream config, but there’s not really an advantage.

I second new tabs for everything.

Of course. The only thing I don’t like about it is the free plan only allows 5 domains.

Yeah unfortunately iOS is very stingy with battery. Thankfully there’s a few apps that use apples push and ejabberd supports it. I haven’t tested them in a while tho since I’m on android.

Mattermost is great and I’m pretty sure they have an iOS app. I don’t believe the messages are encrypted on MM, but if you’re running the infra it’s not too big of a deal IMHO.

Yes. Never used it, but they all do the same thing.

AmazonSES and SMTP2Go are both awesome.

I run ejabberd for myself and my family. Mattermost I would say is the most like discord. I run one of those as well and love it.
