Linux Server OSes?
  • Depends on the type of server too. My media server is arch (aur is godsend with all the weird little tools I'm running) but you'd have to be out of your fucking mind to use it for a web server.

    Web server is usually Ubuntu server/Debian with virtualmin.

  • The Distribution of Users’ Computer Skills: Worse Than You Think (2016)
  • Yeah this is very much not that they don't understand there's a better way. It's that they don't care to look up how. It's pretty common. People just go oh I don't know computers and you get whatever random crap they could throw together with zero effort lol.

  • How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?
  • I opted weekly so I could store longer time periods. If I want to go a month back I just need 4 instead of 30. At least that was the main Idea. I've definitely realized I fucked something up weeks ago without noticing before lol.

  • How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?
  • I have weekly backups of my VMs in Proxmox. Fuck it lol.

  • Stuck on Let's Encrypt certificate issuance due to firewall issue even after opening necessary ports
  • This is the answer. Pretty much every ISP blocks 80 They say it is because worms use it blah blah but it is exactly what you think. They don't want you running a web server. You're probably going to have to do the DNS challenge instead.

    Minnesota Democratic ‘uncommitted’ vote nears 20% in latest Biden rebuke
  • Right. We should let the guy who said he'd kill the Palestinians even harder win. That'll show Biden!

  • Which one are you?
  • Team Rigid for the warranty and frequent clearance at HD. They're good tools for someone like me this isn't CONSTANTLY using them probably.

  • Credit card late fees capped at $8 under Biden crackdown on 'junk fees'
  • It's ridiculously cheap to process a check online. If they're really trying to tell me it costs them 5 dollars to process a fucking check, they're getting completely screwed. So it's either lying and greed or unbelievable incompetence.

  • What are your weird food rules?
  • Depends if the crust is good or not. Sometimes it's just not worth it. There are some pizzas where the actual pizza is amazing and the crust is just boring as hell. Perplexing but I'm not going to force myself to eat something bland just because lol.

  • Currency weaken and cost of living gone up? Ohh no, our family trip!
  • You spend most of it getting there depending on where you're coming from. Family of 4 flying to Europe from the West Coast of the US? Yeah that's gonna be an expensive flight.

  • Epic Games reportedly hit by 189GB hack, including login and payment info
  • That's not a requirement. You can make payments without one though the odds of approval aren't great. If the actual real card numbers got leaked, you need to cancel that card. Also if they actually leaked REAL card numbers, Epic is going to be in deep shit with the card brands.

    This article has no real details though so we'll see. I kind of doubt this is legit.

  • Why widespread tech layoffs keep happening despite a strong U.S. economy
  • Not to mention inequality isn't some new thing that's happening now. It's been happening for decades. It's not good but that doesn't mean the economy isn't doing well by the usual standards. We still need to do something about how shitty things are on that front but if we're trying to compare how the economy is doing compared to previous years, it's doing well.

    The reason it feels bad imo is because money isn't free anymore so a lot of tech companies are laying people off. Also inflation wiped away many gains we all made with our salaries. We're doing better now, information stopped going out of control, but we're left with the shitty high prices that came with it and they aren't going down (because most of them are due to corporate greed, not real circumstances and costs).

  • Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge
  • Pocketcasts fixed that a while ago. You can set the sorting of episodes for each podcast and then it plays in that order.

  • Disney+ has started cracking down on password sharing in the US
  • I cancelled. It's just that I'm a small minority of people. The number that cancelled was apparently less than the people who signed up for their own account. Oh well. Netflix wasn't that good anymore anyway. I barely used that app. Disney Plus however I'm not going to cancel. That one is worth it to me.

  • Nikki Haley says the RNC is ‘clearly not’ an honest broker after calls to unify around Trump in primary
  • The Klingon empire is corrupt as fuck all throughout DS9 so maybe they are closer than you think lol.

  • Woman says her Kia has been stolen 3 times, even after the security upgrade
  • It's still running too. I also have a 2009 (Spectra) and I think it might outlast my 2016 Optima. Sucks because for a while there, they made really great reliable cars. Now who even knows. Not all their cars suck but mine has an unlimited warranty now because of a class action and how shitty the engine in this car is so that's not very promising.

  • Anon takes care of his trash
  • That's weird. Not sure where you are. Where I live the city just adds it to the utility bill (trash, sewer, and water). That sounds like it's probably expensive. Fuck that.
