I disagree. I don’t think it’s clear at all what he considers dangerous about social media if he’s excluding things like Lemmy, Reddit, and other message boards.


My own belief is that all social media is a cancer, and to be avoided entirely. I’m able to do that for myself

You just posted this to a social media site…


From each according to their ability. You’re good.


NixOS is the most boring distro I’ve ever used.

I configured everything across multiple machines and now it just works.


Oh I see – you’re asking a hypothetical.

The simple answer is that it’s a bad idea to take snapshots of running databases because at best they could be missing info and at worst they can corrupt.

The short answer: Don’t.


docker stop container

Make your snapshot

docker start container

What am I missing?





I’m not falling for that one again. Next you’ll tell me to use DeezOS


I don’t want to have remote access to my server outside of my home for security reasons, so this is just the bare minimum

What are your security concerns?


I’m surprised beehaw hasn’t defederated from the tankie instance.


Yup, same experience. I started out hosting everything on a single box, but have slowly moved things like HA and Pi-hole to their own machines, so they don’t all go down when that one box goes down.


After Windows Recall was announced, I’ve seen more people talking about switching to Linux than ever before.

I’ve been the Linux zealot in my friend group for years, and none of them have switched (they’ve dabbled on old laptops but never daily drove).

With Recall, a coworker I never would have expected reached out to me because he knows I’m a “Linux guy” and he was switching to Linux over it.

He’s still daily driving pop_OS a month later.


There’s also plenty of people that do use adblock today, and would just put up with ads if it stopped working.

So the actual number of people that would simply stop using YouTube altogether is lower than the number of people that use adblock today.

And from YouTube’s perspective, those people aren’t contributing revenue anyways, and all they get is a little bit of usage data. Easy trade.


Huh? You claimed that “need” = “law” – which is clearly nonsense.

That’s where we are.


The shareholders will oust the CEO who doesn’t meet that need. No legal action required.

Maybe other people inaccurately say it is a law, but this is not an example of that. Especially since you said “FACTUALLY INCORRECT”.

No, no incorrect facts were stated.


Needs = laws?

They’ll oust a CEO who doesn’t fill that need. No legal action required.




Weird, I use it all the time. Even starting to use it for work to save a ton of time on simple, time-consuming work.


Okay, but I can pretty much guarantee my mom couldn’t figure out how to set that up.

But she can get Disney+ going no problem.



Well that certainly sounds more difficult than any streaming service I’ve ever used.


So I just install the app, sign up, and I can start watching whatever?



That’s not gonna help if he’s looking for hard to find track as flacs though.


My solution to this has been to not forward the ports on individual services at all. I put a reverse proxy in front of them, refer to them by container name in the reverse proxy settings, and make sure they’re on the same docker network.



Oh wow! Quite a journey!

I’d consider Paperless a hall-of-famer for self-hosted software and something most people who get into self-hosting discover at some point, even if they don’t use it.

So thanks for building it, even if you’ve moved on. You gave the forkers something great to build from.




I recently tried out Cockpit on top of plain old Debian and it was really nice. You can manage VMs and whatnot, but it’s quite a bit more lightweight than Proxmox IMO.


I mean, seems like this is way better for listening to audiobooks than when they had no audiobooks whatsoever





But rebuilding a bare metal server properly compatimentized took me a few hours only, so is that really so important?

Depends on how much you value your time.

Compare a few hours on bare metal to a few minutes with containers. Then consider that you also spend extra time on bare metal cleaning up messes. Containers don’t make a mess in the first place.
