PHP backend (IMHO a downside): https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt_api. But There appears to be a significant amount of auditing behind Passbolt's security claims, assuming the information on https://www.passbolt.com/security is accurate.

I think the same: Small service businesses care most about Time To Recovery (TTR) when doing services. As long as they communicate at least by phone and the website is up, they usually tolerate downtime when they know when their backoffice services are back online.

This is classic Business Continuity Management, 5-10 questions usually make clear what must work in every case when and what has to be available for supporting this process. Example: I got a customer which prints all logistics / distribution labels in batches. They can still work where money comes in (=shipping stuff) for quite a long time (4h min, 8h max) if the next batch of labels cannot be printed / some system is going down needed to support shipping. So no need for expensive HA around legacy software, but enough time for a good process to get back online with the latest backup on replacement hardware which is already there on-site.

The thing is: HA is FAR more expensive and complicated than e.g. getting another stand-by server as fast replacement, maintain the hypervisor on this second server e.g. every six month and test restoring backups on it once a month (best: automated: IMPI boot, restore without VM networks, testing, shutdown). Same with a firewall; two used Enterprise Servers + Proxmox VE Subscription, OPNSense + 2 x N150 Hardware and two consumer WANs (e.g. Cable and VDSL) is really not that expensive if only the WAN is a bit more complicated from the POV of a SME admin because of failover. Classi VLANs+ACL and services like surveillance as needed...

> Businesses with <10-20 employees are often viewed as not being worth the effort of having as a customer, so they end up with self-serve, unsupported, non-discounted, over priced, trash subscriptions. By the time they grow enough to be a valuable customer their only experience with some products is misery.

Exactly. This is why I do SME IT since ever, no matter for which $BigCorp I've done consulting and DevOps. I automate them. I consult them. My company (plug: https://foundata.com) does it for a few bugs per month (Hypervisor, Groupware (Calendar, Mail) Firewalling, VPN, Directory Services, Jitsi/OpenCloud/BBB) if they understand that they finance the high quality of the managed services ON THEIR HARDWARE with all other customers and we do not work per-hour but per-service + we run Open Source also for other reasons than "no or fewer licensing costs".

And I like it even this does not make you rich. Because I REALLY share your concerns ("owning all the small businesses of certain types; family doctors, dentists, optometrists, vets" -> I don't know where you are from, but it is the very same here in Germany... example: https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/panorama3/Spekulanten...)

I just read:

so... :)

And this is really not a production problem. As stated in the comments before, just don't upgrade if you don't want to / have no time yet. It is a self-contained static site generator without external dependencies. It won't break. And the security of an old Hugo binary is mostly a non-issue if you do not load remote content.

And, if you have some time: Their changes are really well documented. The changelogs are really good.

The main problem is sticking with an unmaintained template of a third party which breaks when you finally want to upgrade and don't want to fork / don't know when a an template update comes along. But that's the reason I write my own. It was worth the effort.

> Low maintenance[...]A single Docker container, using SQLite as database. Automated migrations, zero breaking changes.

sounds nice. How does this compare to Linkwarden or Karakeep (formerly Hoarder) in terms of features? A comparison would be useful.

Sadly, LinkedIn has replaced email for initial contact after fairs or in-person client meetings. New real-world contacts look you up on LinkedIn and then use it to ask for things like your email address or mobile number. Because of this, I'm even verified :-(.

Even though I use LinkedIn basically the same way Internet Explorer was used in 2009 (purely as a Firefox or Chrome downloader but not for browsing). LinkedIn is my initial contact details exchange, but not the platform to communicate.

> Isn't that just all ai slop?

It is. I basically get zero useful input. Just biased, shallow rubbish. If there is valuable content it is usually cross-posted from authors who also run blogs I already follow.

Edit: Spelling, grammar, style

LinkedIn does not support smaller companies; it appears to rely on some kind of whitelist or known-enterprise system. This option is simply not available for at least 90% of users.

We're planning to roll it out at our company (foundata) in Q4, so you’ll get at least a few bucks from us. I'll also happily recommend it to our customers. As an OSS company and service provider, I can very much relate to the lack of marketing budget and the constant SEO spam.

The concept that every message belongs to a topic and the async communication focus makes so much sense to me. I read conversations, not timelines.

For example, we use Hugo to provide independent Go package URLs even though the code is hosted on GitHub. That makes migrating away from GitHub trivial if we ever choose to do so (Repo: https://github.com/foundata/hugo-theme-govanity; Example: https://golang.foundata.com/hugo-theme-dev/). Usage works as expected:

  go get golang.foundata.com/hugo-theme-dev

One thing many people don't realize is that some Lenovo models can be ordered with Fedora pre-installed. That's a pretty strong signal for Linux compatibility.

I've been watching Framework for years, and among my Linux-using colleagues we have ThinkPads, Frameworks, and Tuxedo machines, so comparisons are easy. I really want to like Framework, but recurring firmware issues, noise (!!), and the lack of built-in 4G/5G antennas have pushed me toward Lenovo every time. That said, I do like the modular idea. I even use a small USB-C adapter permanently to protect the port from wear, almost all docking/monitor issues I've seen over the years came down to worn cables or ports. In that sense, Framework's modules are genuinely appealing.

You don't have to self-host everything in your basement, and you don't have to hand your entire digital life to Google or Apple either. Mail, CalDAV/CardDAV, Immich, Nextcloud, OpenCloud, OpenTalk, web hosting, Kubernetes, simple VMs.. whatever ... fully managed, run by local or independent providers or by the company behind projects, without Big Tech lock-in. If chosen wisely, you can migrate, take over, or bring it in-house when you want. Just spend a few bucks and do some company research. Same as you would when choosing craftsmen, lawyers or something else.

For example, that's actually how we operate as a company for some of our customers and even a few single persons: we provide SaaS AND setup documentation. Customers can transparently take over at any time. We even help separate domains, credentials, and administration from us. Convenience without captivity. I am sure there are hundreds of shops like ours, providing comparable services for people in their wider neighborhood.

The built-in integrations (iCloud, Google Drive) are smooth right up until you’re locked out or forced into changes you can't control. Obviously.

There is a middle ground though: managed service providers (per-service). You don't have to self-host everything in your basement, and you don't have to hand your entire digital life to Google or Apple either.

Really? For me it is always Berlin, Frankfurt, Bremen, Dortmund Nordstadt.

Just search for "Bremen Rocker Kriminalität" or "Organisierte Kriminalität Bremen" and you will find tons of thing about starting in the early 00-years.

I discovered Pico CSS just last week, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed for a small Hugo theme (govanity, vanity URLs for Go modules/packages with Hugo: https://github.com/foundata/hugo-theme-govanity). From discovering Pico, reading the docs, and integrating it, I was done in about two hours.

One thing that's surprisingly easy to overlook in between: CSS variables: https://picocss.com/docs/css-variables and Colors: https://picocss.com/docs/colors
