  • I started with Bazzite recently after getting a recommendation to go with a SilverBlue derived distro, and other than trying to figure out my own issues, it’s been pretty smooth.

    I do have a weird issue that crops up after reboot where the display environment variable isn’t exported or something. But considering I also had an issue with my steam library not loading that was user error, I’m not entirely sure that isn’t of my own making as well…










  • Since they handle redundancy and backups I think it’s fine staying with them (+ great product)

    This. I love self hosting services, but anything that I 100% can’t live without isn’t one of them. Because I don’t have the funds for proper redundancy/high availability, and my backup practices at home are… Not ideal. I’ve had a couple brushes with data loss due to gaps in backups, lack of monitoring for impending hardware failures, and had 2 disks suddenly die together in a raid array, all in over a decade of self hosting.

    I have cold backups of most of my critical services, but they’re not nearly regular enough for me to trust my passwords to myself.

    I think you’ve got it backwards. Like the other person said, this shit was built to make money, the power and control came later. Said power and control also came partially from the money, since money is just power coupons, and they used that to buy up competitors and regulators alike to get to the state their in now.

    Not everything is built with evil intentions. Quite frequently, evil corrupts otherwise benign institutions as they gain power to serve the ends of those already in power.
