I think you mean John Oliver.

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.

Any reasons why you can’t recommend it?

Interesting, because I saw a 20 point increase between vanilla Firefox and Mercury when testing last night.

That’s not a bad idea. Surely it could be automated within the image. If my ADHD allows me I might take a look at it later. :D

Looking at the installation instructions, it requires you to run database migrations manually with every image docker image update. Does this mean that running watchtower is going to bork this thing?

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.

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.

What’s wrong with that?

I don’t think you’ve properly thought through the consequences of not considering IP rights for projects with a significant number of contributors. There are absolutely situations in which having a single IP holder is advantageous to having multiple IP holders. Large open source projects might find governance hard when they’re hamstrung by getting consensus from hundreds or thousands of contributors.

And yes, I did read the title and the post. I understood it.

Copyright and license agreements are not at all the same thing. And just because something is “open source” doesn’t mean that it is free of copyright.

If my understanding of the GPL is correct, you can definitely build it yourself and publish it on fdroid. Can’t use the same name or any trademarks noti has, though.

We’re giving Israel the money and weapons to perpetrate a genocide on Palestinians.

And failing for as hard as they’re trying. They may lose a few seats here and there, but not in the numbers they “should” because the Dems can’t help but fumble the ball. You can decide for yourself whether that’s purposeful or by accident. I can never make my mind up.

Not a bad idea, and I’ve been keeping an eye out. Unfortunately they have hobbies that require space, e.g. a fishing boat, a trailer camper, and a truck big enough to haul both. They’d be fine with a smaller living space, but it’s hard to find a smaller house on enough land to park/store that stuff. Luckily I have many years before it will become necessary to have them close. :)

Don’t get me wrong, I love it here in Minnesota. I consider it my adoptive home. But house prices are at least double what they are in my home state of Kentucky. Maybe 2.5 or approaching 3x. I suppose it is doable if you get a job, there is no chance my parents could sell their home there and move here to retire and get anything approaching the size and quality they have there.

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

Death threats too?

Criminal threats are typically actionable. They indicate a concrete act is intended.

Shouting fire in a crowded theater?

A famously incorrect example of unprotected speech. It actually is protected speech, it’s just a catchy phrase that people never seem to look into beyond a surface level.

it’s unfathomable to me that anyone would defend it

Because at least half of the country I live in would love nothing more to apply these same ideas of restricting the flow of ideas and speech to me. To their mind, my liberal lefty atheistic ideals are diametrically opposed to their world view. To their understanding of the world, I’m actively making the world a worse place just by being in it. I have actively benefited from the freedom of thought and speech that I support while growing up in a deep red and deeply religious small town.

What you should be asking yourself is why these abhorrent ideas get any traction at all. The public square should be filled with good ideas. Put your ideas out for how to make society better. Put out your critique and world view. The speech you hate so much should be drowned out by all the good speech. The fact that it’s not, and has garnered any sort of appeal points to a failure on society’s part, writ large. We have an obligation to push society forward and be proactive in guiding society where we want it to go. Like I said in another comment, the hearts of men can’t be legislated away; they have to be won.

We clearly have different philosophies on the value of freedom of thought. I don’t think we’re going to get anywhere with this.

Surely you don’t propose atomising response to the individual level

I do.
