I don’t.

Clearly you don’t know.

If I wanted to run updates frequently I would run arch lmao. Even if I did apt update every day, debian stable doesn’t get that many updates.

You’re not updating for features you’re updating for bug and security fixes. That’s why Debian stable doesn’t have many updates. But the ones they do are typically important.

That’s… Not how it works… Debian is “stable” not “secure”. You use Debian so that is easier to run updates frequently since they’ll be unlikely to break things.

All systems, daily via a single ansible script. That’s apt update, upgrade and reboot if needed (some systems set to only reboot with a separate script so I can handle them separately).

Rarely have any sort of problems.

The rancher was tried and convicted

At least there is some justice. What an asshole.

No.

Sounds like you bookmarked the while flippin’ Internet.

You keep pointing this out, and it’s true that heat pumps are superior. But given the range of options for home heating I think “100%” is going to be among the most efficient.

Then how do you know that “most streaming services don’t work on Linux?”

Something that can make troubleshooting DNS issues a real pain is that there can be a lot of caching at multiple levels. Each DNS server can do caching, the OS will do caching (nscd), the browsers do caching, etc. Flushing all those caches can be a real nightmare. I had issues recently with nscd causing issues kinda like what you’re seeing. You may or may not have it installed but purging it if it is may help.

It’s not resolving, play around with dig a bit to troubleshoot: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/linux-dig-command-examples

I’d start with “dig @your.providers.dns.server your. domain.name” to query the provider servers directly and to see if the provider actually responds for your entry.

If so then it may be that you haven’t properly configured the provider to be authoritative for your domain. Query @8.8.8.8 or one of the root servers. If they don’t resolve it then they don’t know where to send your query.

If they do, the problem is probably closer to home either your local network or Internet provider.

This is an awful analogy…

Is it accurate? Did he criticize the Saudi government?

I’m not making an argument so I can’t be “moving the goal posts?” And why are you starting to assume things about me personally? It’s not about me. If you need to know what I think before you can answer a question that says more about you than you may think.

I honestly don’t know what he’s done to the poor. I’ve just seen some of the mediocre-to-crappy “reality TV-style bullshit” that he creates.

So he doesn’t actually help people who need it? Or does he help them but he’s “a bit of a dick about it”?

squeezing every last drop of resource form tired old hardware

This is such a myth. 99% of the time your hardware is doing there doing nothing. Even when running “bloated” services.

Nextcloud, for example, uses practically zero cpu and a few tens on mb when sitting around yet people avoid it for “bloat”.

“exploit the poor” is a bit of an odd way to phrase “mistreated employees”. I have seen stories is the later though.

How’d he exploit the poor?

I’m not sure how the *arr stuff works but hard links don’t let you “edit a file while preserving the original” - they let you have mulltiple paths to the same file.

$ echo "hello" > file1
$ ln file1 file2
$ echo "world" > file2
$ cat file1 file2
world
world

Does *arr have some sort of copy-on-write behavior? Some modern file-systems have de-duping behavior and copy-on-write built in that you may be able to save some space with.

But the point of topic 1 was to simplify. You can keep doing your hardlink stuff but standardize it and simplify setup/configuration. If you always do things in the same way it’s less complicated to keep track of and fix.

You’ve understood the difference in terraform/ansible, and yeah terraform is probably not going to be as helpful. Ansible would be much more likely to help. It can seem burdensome to have to write configuration files for things at first, but it forces you to do things in a way that is standardized and repeatable.
