SMB is pretty bad on Linux.

SMB is pretty bad

Don't use it

nah
it just werks

I only have 1 desktop, and all the data I need is on hard drives I can connect internally.

(if bored read on)
also I think servers are inherent security risks. a client doesn't have to have as many listening ports or services, but a server needs to have them constantly on, listening for incoming requests. that is an entry point. sure you can patch, firewall, make inbound rules all you want, but the right packets with the right exploits can bypass all that. that's the long answer, sorry.

SMB is comfy.

Classic theme is so fucking comfy

>using a GUI on a server
Are you a retard or what? I use OpenBSD on mine.

But I am.
Yes, yes it is.

I thought summer was over?

I use universal media server, does that count?

I have multiple.

i do and it does not run windows

Because I can have one that fits my needs for 3 euro's per month without having to manage anything physical or risk having my data lost in a fire/burglary inside my home.

Works fine for me, try not sucking at Linux configuration.

because im poor and i can barely pay electricity bill

I do and the RAID card + supercap backup costs more than your video card.

IS HOSTING A VPN SERVER HARD?

But i do have home server with kvm and nfs share for desktop.

softether is easy to configure. they even have an optional gui for setup if you really really need it

Because I don't pay for electricity. I still live with my parents and they have this policy of turning off everything at night "to save money".

Turn off the fridge; that shit uses a ton of electricity
