Finally got around to dns-01 and acme containers today. Hooray LE signed wildcard lab cert.

I don’t know that I agree with that. Nazis suck, but just because they are trending at the moment doesn’t seem like a great reason to spend time dwelling in their ideology. Lots of people have done lots of ghastly things and you can’t unknow some of them. And now they live rent free in your head on the off chance someone’s words collide with an old phrase.

I don’t have a great answer, but I would have been happier if we taught people to recognize what fascism actually is and how to stop it rather than focusing on the icons and word choice of one set of awful people.

Honestly, that is awesome! Absolutely try things. Seeing what works and doesn’t is a great way to learn. The sneaky thing about hiding is that it works great until it fails utterly. (Security through obscurity.) I’m sure everyone who says “don’t do that” says it because they left some random thing open once and it was a disaster. (I lost a private wiki with all my notes back in the day.)

Keep at it. ;)

I’m not sure what you mean by non-spying, but you should be prepared for anything you put on the Internet to be poked by any number of people that you do not want poking. If whatever you are hosting would be compromised by having a DNS name, you might want to rethink your security plan.

I’m going to go with “nothing”. They blend their numbers but I’d be willing to bet the amount of money they make selling direct licenses is tiny. (Tiny at their scale, I’d take it any day.) The whole OEM business isn’t even huge to them. If they start losing the enterprise market, then I’m sure they would throw down, but you and everyone you know installing Linux would be fine. Have you noticed how easy it is to steal windows and how there seem to be very few repercussions? That says volumes about what they think the revenue potential of that market is…

My son’s first computer was Linux. ;) He was still toddling but wanted to hit my computer, so I set up an old one for him.

I was 14 in 1991 I should add. I switched from minix not long after I could get Linux to boot. I think that was actually 1992. Both the computer and Linux weren’t very good back then …

I’m not saying that they won’t do this, but so far their actual actions have ended up pretty decent. I’ve had 3 Synology devices over the last 12(?) years, and while they are not perfect, they have been very good at delivering what they promised over the long haul. All of them still work fine. Even the old guy delivers.

Redhat Inc is in the US, but Redhat Ltd is Europe (and more I think). I don’t know what would happen if the parts of the company had to take different paths for a while. I would assume all the non-US stuff would want to keep making money while the US slogs through crazy…

You may need to try a few to make the most of your hardware config. Make a few bootable USB drives, and spend an evening trying your options I’d say at least pop!os, manjaro and nobara to cover the main distro bases. But everything is pretty good these days and everything has corner cases that cause trouble.

They seem to be getting a lot of hate for this, but Plex is not FOSS… They have the roots but they currently have like 100 paid employees and are trying to make a business out of it. They have to do something to make money to pay people every month. My $75 10 years ago isn’t going to do much for that… The fact that they’ve made it this far without folding is impressive.

Amen

I’ve gone through lots of themes. These days it’s mostly where things are or what they are for. Topshelf, closet, code lives on monkey, work laptop is named work. I’ve had more fun themes but the novelty wore off.

For gaming, I honestly agree. Things are better with Lutris but running programs in their native OS is always going to be a better experience. Still, I think it’s very cool that you can run any of that in Linux. Valve is making some awesome progress with that…

For projects, yes… most of the things I want to build don’t need to go fast, so the pi zero is amazing and so so small. If you are just talking little cheap computer to stash somewhere, then no. I do think it would be neat if someone made a SBC N100 in the “credit card” size.

I actually moved everything to docker containers at home… Not an apples to apples, but I don’t need so many full OSs it turns out.

At work we have a mix of things running right now to see. I don’t think we’ll land on ovirt or openstack. It seems like we’ll bite the cost bullet and move all the important services to amazon.

Xubuntu… It’s light weight and pretty much everything is kind of Debian or kind of redhat anyway…

The charm of rolling my own died off when I got old enough to buy better hardware if I wanted to go faster…

I’m shocked I tell you; simply shocked…

If it really bothers you, I think you could set up authentik (or some other idp) and point all your login needs at it… Though, it’s not going to make things easier for you, just the opposite. Probably a good learning experience though.

Investment… It’s a bit too simple to just say money, but investment wraps it up better. Chips may not be open source, but they are physically there to be taken apart and reproduced. That’s what a lot of those Chinese knockoff chips are (baring the ones where the designs are outright stolen). The only thing that stops you from doing the same thing as those bootleg fabs is being willing to soak time and resources into the project. It’s just a big project. Like a Bloomfield i7 (which is old and fairly large) has 731 million transistors in it…
