That’s fair, but even then it might break when I update it. I think rotating containers on which one I update is the way to go so I always have 1 running.

I’ve never tried this technique but I’m curious to try it out.

I love Nextcloud, but I have everything running in containers, and I have them auto updating on system boot.

Its a super powerful software. Its on my top list of self hosting software. But it breaks so often with auto updates. And there is the potential of having to reinstall it because of a broken install, and your personal service being down for weeks.

Borg backups work, but they are not intuitive to setup when using containers.

Auto setting up trusted domains is not intuitive.

My solution going forward, is to have secondary containers which I don’t update as frequently, that point to the same user files folder on the primary containers. Kind of like having my services load balanced. I plan on doing this for some of my other containers that are frequently down.

In my experience, services that require more than 1 container are the ones that crash the most. Especially when they connect to a database container.

Haha. It might be worth looking to see what’s playing at your local venues, and see where they bring you if you simulate buying a ticket.

Boycott them, even it means resorting to smaller venues. You will likely save money and not feel guilty giving these guys any money.

Interesting, I’ve never heard those points before. They’re both super fast for me, and give me really good results.

I was using DDG for many years, but the results were often super bad and I hadn’t noticed until I started using Google search again. Then I started using Ecosia and Qwant, and the results have been sometimes better and sometimes worse than Google – mainly only worse whenever I need Google Maps for its various features around businesses that OpenStreetMap is missing.

I’m preaching to the choir here, but for those who don’t know

Both of the above are currently in partnership as well.

I agree with the public spaces. Just put https and we’re good.

The worst part of Matrix is needing to copy recovery key onto each new device or install, or else you will lose access to all your messages in public servers. Its been discouraging and I rarely use Matrix because of this inconvenience, but I really want to – but it’s too exhausting and time consuming. And I lose track of conversations if I lost the key, which isn’t practical if I’m working on something and getting help.

I like the alternatives, but they mean nothing without being federated.

What’s the alternatives? Non-self hosting, and you know what, self-hosting because why not

Another reason to get a good bike immediately. And more money to you and less to the oil and automobile industry.

Who else is using Peter Thiels crap?

If you’re Canadian, you can get free and cheap .ca domains https://www.cira.ca/en/why-choose-ca/

Veganism would solve a lot of our world problems. It isn’t difficult, humans are just very stupid in this aspect.

If anyone is looking for a Canadian or international order, I just found this U.K. site which multiple threads of Reddit have been talking about. They offer shipping tracking.

That’s kind of a weird question, no? If I’m going to invest in a server, I want to see some kind of integrity and trust first.

This is the first time I’ve seen this link or company name. I’m not saying they’re bad, but I was hoping the person who shared the link had something to vet them.

First time I’ve heard of Unredacted. Do they have somewhere to show their legitimacy.

Debian is fine, but if you have technical troubles you don’t want to deal with, then go straight to Ubuntu. Either Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Ubuntu, or some other Ubuntu variation.

As a new Linux user, I would recommend Ubuntu over Debian. It is easier to setup, has a lot more online documentation, provides various apps to make life a bit simplier like integrations and AppStore (even though you should try to away from Linux app store because of broken apps)

Arch is really the king diamond in desktop Linux in my opinion, due to their rolling releases (I love new stuff even if it may break things), but especially because for the Arch Wiki (which is good for other OS users to read too) and the Arch AUR. If going Arch, I recommend using arch-install to make installing it much easier. Update the default arch-install after booting pacman -Ss arch-install then just run.

Also as a new or intermediate Linux user, I strongly recommend LTS (Long Term Support) versions. For example, Ubuntus latest version is not LTS, and has been out for multiple months, and there are still a huge amount of apps not ready to easily install – and you either have to spend a lot of time to figure it out yourself, or lose the chance to use some apps.

The Hackernews company gets shit on a lot by Lemmy and Reddit. From my understanding, they have a lot of bad people who run the company.

I would just use Lemmy and Reddit instead.
