Yes, but it also makes the experience worse for people that aren’t invested in the ecosystem because of privacy or similar reasons.

If I’m using an app that allows quotes, but my friend isn’t and wants to quote a post, they’re going to be annoyed.

Neat bit of work finding the issue.

What’s the advantage of static container IPs? I’ve never thought about that in all my time using docker.

With several comments now showing surprise about this, is sleep mode or hibernation not common knowledge?? Windows and every Linux distro I’ve tried has sleep mode enabled by default.

Most people use sleep or hibernate, still uses very little power (none in hibernate) but you don’t have to open all your stuff every time.

Veeam endpoint free version is nice because it doesn’t require a reboot.

I can’t automate full disk backups as I can’t run dd reliably from a system that is itself already running.

Can’t you do a snapshot like VSS does on windows and back that up on a running system? I assume with a filesystem that supports snapshots that would be possible.

Feedly does a great job of that.

Thats a good example of the UX issues, when only 1 specific app supports a feature.

Do you use ZFS? It uses half your RAM for cache by default, which matches with 2GB used by user apps + 16GB = 18GB total.

The most generic simple setup IMO is a Debian minimal install with Docker, and use Komodo if you want a webUI to manage Docker stacks.

I’d say leave out the 250GB and install proxmox on a mirror on the 2x 512GB drives, it barely uses any space, just remember to set the root size to like 32GB. Then you have redundancy for the boot partition too.

If using ZFS for the SSD mirror you could use it for the HDD too, but if you want the best performance something other than ZFS may be better.

Wasnt the parallel port also used for serial for awhile? Not quite perfect but better than now I suppose.

It is, I’ve been auto updating it for almost 2 years. Just needs a quick fix every now and then.

Obviously make sure your backups are working properly.

Probably a hardware upgrade of some kind. The i5-7500 is not cutting it for Minecraft servers with mods and Arma 3 servers, single thread performance is just too slow. So I may grab an i3-14100 or similar and a motherboard and do that swap.

Oh I see, you mean you mount the NAS storage into /home?

Interesting, are you accessing files directly on the NAS or something like that where the symlink makes sense?

I mount extra storage under /mnt/ and store stuff like media in there.

Without the utility how would I connect to a grid to sell to others? Who would pay for that and manage it?

They still use far less, bitcoin manages like 10 transactions per second and consumes a staggering amount of power. A normal database running on something using a few watts could handle 10 database updates per second.

At that point the devices could just report without the use of cryptocurrency and we could use normal money, it would also have less power usage because no mining is happening.

I just can’t really visualize the advantage of cryptocurrency here, it increases power usage, cost, and complexity.
