It’s 1000 pages apparently, and applies equally to lemmy/mastodon servers.

So unless you’re into reading lots of legal text, running a server in the UK just got a whole lot messier.

Just before shutdown you’re at the terminal so something like this https://github.com/stolk/imcat on the image at the end of shutdown script might work.

Ads pay miniscule amounts per view… I’ve heard it said the £12/month sub is about hundreds of times what they get from ad revenue per user. So they spam them everywhere… the more ads the better.

Which means people block the ads because they’re obnoxious, and they make nothing…

It looks to me like they were counting some windows variant as ‘Other’ for a time.

Holy shit… 1Tb drives too…

If only I had a use for them :/

Raid 0 on 3x500GB triples your failure rate (especially important on older drives, as I presume these are), and still won’t get anywhere near an SSD in speed.

You could just mount the 3 drives separately and have storage that way, which means if one fails you’ve still got the data on the other two… it’d still suck but not as bad as losing everything.

If it was me I’d wait until I could afford the SSD… it’ll be many times faster and newer.

Or actually do anything useful? No network, no filesystem… it’s a hello world app isn’t it…

How am I going to fit my rackmount servers into it now?

‘nudge’ sure…

‘Unless you regrow that limb we’ll cut you off and take your house’

That kind of nudge.

Do it young is the biggest thing… once they’re adults it’s much harder because you’re overcoming existing fear.

You only get a few days a year but we took them outside and let them watch, showed them we weren’t scared… they both find the pretty lights fascinating, and being able to see what is making the whistles and bangs helps I think.

Sometimes need to reinforce it with the younger one, although this year he’s been mostly fine. The older one doesn’t GAF.

We made a point of giving our dogs firework training when they were young and it’s paid off… they’re currently both asleep, completely uninterested in whatever the humans are up to.

If it’s fun, it’s not overkill!

You also have experience you can use in the workplace (even if it’s mostly experience of what happens if you f**k things up).

So now you have to do that every time you install a flatpak.

Or just stick to a normal package manager, that does all that for you.

Used it once… it’s as annoying as shit since you can’t just run apps you have to type ‘flatpack run org.mozilla.firefox’ instead of just typing ‘firefox’ (and I had to google that because I just can’t remember the sequence). Also for some reason it’s slow… as you mentioned a 1 second delay before anything works. I can’t see myself using it again.

The system is broken. Wipe it and start again. I could imagine a system with no configured root but root only is just a security nightmare and not worth using as a starting point.

I really hope that machine isn’t exposed to the internet…

In theory a root application can drop capabilities when it starts up and remain root pid, but it’s not that common… it’s used for certain system apps that require root to increase security. It is not a replacement for unprivileged users.

I’m the same… I setup a VM but it was so much work just to setup a basic machine with ssh I gave up on it… I’m also no sure moving all the config out of /etc into a script is scaleable at all. I get that by copying the script from one machine to another you can duplicate configs… but we already have ansible for that.

What I’ve read looks good but it’s going to need a track record of reliability before I’d trust it.

Clearly he can’t handle the truth…
