This is important. I dunno about scale, but backups. I started out hosting a chat room on a raspberry pi. It was a fun side project. But then, that became where my friends all hung out. That was the place, so it became important to me. And then the SD card got corrupted. I then moved on to a consumer laptop. It was way more stable, much faster. But if I messed up anything about the installation, I was hosed.

I very highly suggest using Proxmox, like you say, and setting up automatic backups. And occasionally transfer them to a hard drive. It doesn’t matter what kind of virtual CPUs or services you install, gedaliyah@lemmy.world, as long as you have a plan for when something you host becomes important to you and you lose it.

What makes you think that?

Fair. The rest of the site is a lot more normal. More being a relative term, of course.

Good news.

Just like we drew it up.

Any reasons why you can’t recommend it?

Interesting, because I saw a 20 point increase between vanilla Firefox and Mercury when testing last night.

That’s not a bad idea. Surely it could be automated within the image. If my ADHD allows me I might take a look at it later. :D

Looking at the installation instructions, it requires you to run database migrations manually with every image docker image update. Does this mean that running watchtower is going to bork this thing?

Proxmox on physical servers hosting a variety of vanilla Debian installations. I have a physical router running pfsense as well as two HP miniservers running OpenMediaVault.

That’s never stopped us before.

For all his faults, Donald uniquely has the charisma to pull this act off. His children are all rizzless goofs. My personal feeling is that anyone trying to do “The Trump” will fail miserably. What we’re more likely to see is someone else come along with a different style but that’s also charismatic.

The problems I’ve had with my RPis have all revolved around the fragility of their SD storage. I got burned one too many times trying to host something important in my house with these things, just for them to get corrupted and lose everything. Backing up these systems was its own nightmare, which failed as much as it succeeded.

What’s wrong with that?

I don’t think you’ve properly thought through the consequences of not considering IP rights for projects with a significant number of contributors. There are absolutely situations in which having a single IP holder is advantageous to having multiple IP holders. Large open source projects might find governance hard when they’re hamstrung by getting consensus from hundreds or thousands of contributors.

And yes, I did read the title and the post. I understood it.

Copyright and license agreements are not at all the same thing. And just because something is “open source” doesn’t mean that it is free of copyright.

If my understanding of the GPL is correct, you can definitely build it yourself and publish it on fdroid. Can’t use the same name or any trademarks noti has, though.

There is a disproportionate amount of wealth concentrated in the older generation and those who will inherit it will probably be even worse with that money than the last generation.

Don’t worry, this isn’t going to happen. Inheritance, I mean. Almost all of that generations wealth is going to be eaten by elder care. At $10k per month, and zero of that being covered by Medicare until you’re basically destitute, nursing homes are going to demolish that store of wealth and their descendants will be left with nothing.

That Einstein guy sounds pretty smart.

If they could force you to pay a royalty every time you so much as thought of a book you once read, they’d do it in a heartbeat.
