  • Depends on your experience, hardware, and other stuff.

    You could easily use Debian or Ubuntu server and install Docker if all you want is those listed services installed on unRAIDed drives.

    You could try something like Dietpi (which is what Ive used since I started self hosting) which simplifies a few things and gives some helpful scripts on top of a basic Debian installation. It’s a simple setup but still just plain ol’ Debian so easy to set up however you like.

    You could use something like CasaOS or ZimaOS which offer Web interfaces and integrate with docker for those with a “no tech” background up to technical users.

    ProxMox is an option, but takes a lot of learning proxmox-specific stuff and IMO might be a bit overkill for your first server.

    Personally, I’d go for something accessible to your tastes because everything nowadays has some kind of “easy setup” path for Plex/Jelly + Arr. Once it’s set up, use it! Then once you need a big change for better hardware or more bespoke software setups then start digging into more fancy setups.







  • I used to work at KFC and it was someone’s job every day to sort through the ‘on the bone’ chicken (stuff you get in buckets) to throw out broken bones, giblets, feathers etc.

    Firstly, only this kind of chicken came from the UK. The rest is from mainland Europe before being marinated and shipped, which seemed unnecessarily inefficient.

    Secondly, good god is the state of the chicken you get horrifying. I kid you not it set me towards becoming vegan. But compared to the chicken you get in a supermarket (say, an Asdas roast chicken) it is scrawny, frail, and so easily broken and poorly cleaned. The breading and frying process makes it look way more “full”.

    Between farmers and businesses these birds are a source of untold horror AND a vector of our next potential pandemic, whether it be H5N1 or something else. Not even before we consider the totally unsustainable nature of farming poultry both ecologically and economically.







  • Disregarding the parent comment, but hosting a soft fork is easy enough but it’ll quickly become a spaghetti mess of local patches that conflict with upstream changes. It’s not like there’s an argument for preserving access to Russia either since the nature of the kernel being hosted across torrent trackers makes it impossible to deny Linux to any one country.

    It seems like the better solution (imo) is to work on a different kernel receptive of these maintainers, so that the companies employing them can still have a kernel that is developed for their use-cases whilst supporting projects that don’t so openly collaborate with hostile states.
