You know, the older I get the more I respect the people who come out and say 'I'm not going to learn that, and I don't want to.'
It's a LOT better than dealing with someone who half-asses and kinda wishy-washes around and says they'll maybe do something but then doesn't and well, wasn't ever going to.
If you're not interested and won't, say so up front so you don't waste your or my time trying to get you to do something.
Have some stuff on a VPS, some stuff hosted as static pages at Cloudflare, some stuff hosted at home too.
Depends on if 100% uptime is required, if they're just serving static content, or if they're in some way related to another service I'm running (I have a couple of BBSes, and the web pages that host the clients and VMs that host the clients run locally).
Though, at this point, anything I'm NOT hosting at home is kinda a "legacy" deployment, and probably will be brought in-house at some point in the future or converted to static-only and put on Cloudflare if there's some reason I can't/don't want to host it at home.
Biebian is VASTLY superior to Hannah Montana Linux. You should consider switching.
And PeerTube is pathetic. Peertube on the otherhand is “EVERYTHING IS A LINUX VIDEO!!! ONLY LINUX EXISTS ON THIS PLATFORM!!!”
You're not wrong, but the biggest flaw Peertube has is that the search on an instance is utterly worthless and defective.
They do have a good search engine for finding content you might want to watch, but they don't use those results in the instance-level search which befuddles and confuses the shit out of me, because you won't find shit you actually want to watch.
https://sepiasearch.org/ is where you probably want to start, but yeah, there's a LOT of Linux shit, but you can at least find other things when you use a non-broken search option.
I used to print on glass, until I nearly cut a finger off.
Make sure you're using glass that can either handle the thermal cycling (that is not anything you can find at a Home Depot), or is tempered so it won't have giant sharp shards when it does finally break due to the heating -> cooling -> heating -> cooling cycles of 3d printing.
Mine did that in my hands, and the shards it broke into were sharp enough to cut down to the bone on two of my fingers, requiring a hospital trip.
....I use textured PEI now, which probably won't try to remove any digits.
normalized microtransactions
I'd say it's maybe a little more honest to say they normalized the gambling exploitation in gaming with the TF2 lootboxes.
You didn't buy cosmetics, you bought a key to open a box that might get you the cosmetic you wanted.
You have your coworkers on an unmanaged machine with a foreign OS on the guest WiFi with custom networking.
Which, at any of my last few corporate jobs, would be grounds for termination, if not immediately throwing you out of the building and telling you if you come back we're calling the cops.
You really don't bypass controls in a corporate environment like this if you like working there.
(And yes, not EVERY job will react that way, but any that's got any compliance requirements absolutely will.)
It's that Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns is only alive because all the things that would kill him are cancelling each other out, but in PHP form.
I tend to use Squarespace because uh, they have a marketing budget and everyone tends to already know (or at least one of the people in the meeting anyways) who they are, which makes things an easier sell.
I don't particularly think they're the best or whatever, but they at least do what they say at a price that's reasonable enough and I've yet to be burned by suggesting them, sooooo.....
I’m not giving access to my Mastodon account to some random service I’ve never heard of for no reason.
If it makes you feel better, it's all client-side: there's nothing executing on the server (I'm running a copy of it on a server that just... can't execute anything) so it's not doing any data stealing.
Buuut, since it's trivial to host, you could grab a copy of the code and host it yourself as well.
The best rule of thumb I've ever heard regarding Debian Stable is that if the kernel in stable's default repo fully supports ALL your hardware, and the software in stable's default repos fully support your workflows, it's fine.
If those are NOT true, then you probably don't want to use Stable, because you'll either end up fighting it via manually compiled and installed software, or you'll venture into so many 3rd party repos for updated packages that updating it later becomes problematic and prone to making the whole system catch fire and burn down.
