What country is that?

This is important. I dunno about scale, but backups. I started out hosting a chat room on a raspberry pi. It was a fun side project. But then, that became where my friends all hung out. That was the place, so it became important to me. And then the SD card got corrupted. I then moved on to a consumer laptop. It was way more stable, much faster. But if I messed up anything about the installation, I was hosed.

I very highly suggest using Proxmox, like you say, and setting up automatic backups. And occasionally transfer them to a hard drive. It doesn’t matter what kind of virtual CPUs or services you install, gedaliyah@lemmy.world, as long as you have a plan for when something you host becomes important to you and you lose it.

What makes you think that?

Fair. The rest of the site is a lot more normal. More being a relative term, of course.

Good news.

And hundreds of thousands of years of evolution pre-training the base model that their experience was layered on top of.

Proxmox on physical servers hosting a variety of vanilla Debian installations. I have a physical router running pfsense as well as two HP miniservers running OpenMediaVault.

That’s never stopped us before.

For all his faults, Donald uniquely has the charisma to pull this act off. His children are all rizzless goofs. My personal feeling is that anyone trying to do “The Trump” will fail miserably. What we’re more likely to see is someone else come along with a different style but that’s also charismatic.

C# is good. I use Visual Studio on Windows, so I’m not familiar with the tooling in VS Code in Linux, but I’ve heard good things. .NET is a nice environment to work in, the runtime works on all the OSs, and you can even package it into a self-contained binary with a little finagling.

The problems I’ve had with my RPis have all revolved around the fragility of their SD storage. I got burned one too many times trying to host something important in my house with these things, just for them to get corrupted and lose everything. Backing up these systems was its own nightmare, which failed as much as it succeeded.

Unfortunately it inevitable. If a publicly traded company exists, it will have to extract more and more and more until this kind of rent-seeking model happens. And if a company is private, it will eventually go public. And even if you truly believe in a company’s owner to not sell out, eventually they will die and the company will go public or get sold. Eventually, money always wins.

There is a disproportionate amount of wealth concentrated in the older generation and those who will inherit it will probably be even worse with that money than the last generation.

Don’t worry, this isn’t going to happen. Inheritance, I mean. Almost all of that generations wealth is going to be eaten by elder care. At $10k per month, and zero of that being covered by Medicare until you’re basically destitute, nursing homes are going to demolish that store of wealth and their descendants will be left with nothing.

If they could force you to pay a royalty every time you so much as thought of a book you once read, they’d do it in a heartbeat.

Tomato, tomato, as far as they’re concerned.

Judging by the crash test videos of the Cybertruck, this does not surprise me in the least. Why make cars safe when you could just not save some money?

You mean Chromium Brave Edition?

FYI, Publii is really good. It supports importing existing WordPress blogs and has a familiar interface. Great for those that don’t need built in comments and can use something like Cactus (if you like Matrix).

If GM thinks they have the rizz that Tesla has/had they are absolutely insane.

When I was purchasing my car about 6 years ago I was sure I was going to for for a Nissan, as I currently had one that I loved. But they didn’t offer any cars with Android Auto support and that was a deal breaker. It is a make or break thing for me, and I suspect as more and more people adopt it, it will be for them too. We might see this kind of pressure delayed, as car purchases don’t happen every year for most people, and the CarPlay/Android Auto software has really only become quality must-have software within the past few years. Yet, as people approach the time to purchase a new car, I believe the pressure on automakers to integrate these technologies will intensify.
