Hell I was never around guns as a kid and I was still taught this at a similar age.

Its the car centric mindset of just jetting all over town for the fuck of it more or less. As I mentioned elsewhere, if we were ""going out"" I'd understand changing, but we had one drink and left (which was the plan from the jump.) we could have been on the way out of the bar by the time we left their house if we'd just gone there.

Yeah its equally dumb on a bus but most people on public transit wouldn't do that because it IS silly for one drink.

If they wore particularly expensive stuff, maybe. They weren't, nor are they particularly concerned about such things, just "comfort." If we were going out all night it tracks but we literally had one drink and left.

Its a car centric attitude I don't understand. Driving absurdly out of your way wasting an hour and a half cause why not hurrdurr car.

Shouldn't have had a Hamas commander in his back pocket 🤷‍♂️

I can't speak to how often, but it definitely happens.

Its a perception thing, they see it as "I dont have to'learn' anything I just follow these tutorials" even though a similar amount of effort would get them through the few commands they might need on Linux.

Eh, no use crying over spilt milk, youre here now. :) Linux is still stuck in a weird cultural hole, its not your fault it took a while.

Ive always been familiar but a daily driver of windows. I started self hosting a year or two ago, and recently switched my office PC to Linux with a secondary win partition. Ive just never had issues with windows but I'm pretty tired of what they've been up too lately so for me it was time. Whenever I get around to grabbing another m.2 for my living room rig I'll do the same for it.

This is the thing that gets me about that level of user. I understand basic users who dont care prefering windows, but I always kind of found it amusing to watch people "Linux too hard booo CLI.........now excuse me while I learn to manipulate the registry, and run scripts/disable certain things via the checks notes CLI."

Although I do think its an exaggeration

"Almost every day?" Maybe, depending, but not always. Which is why I fell back on multiple times a week which is depressingly not an exaggeration.

You're awfully angry over a passing internet comment and are trying to argue an absolute because of it. Perhaps you're the stupid and hateful one here?

But I was assured this only happened on ml instances and .world was a blistering Wild West of ultimate free speech 🤔

(As long as you don't dislike Nazis, thats what got me banned from the instance)

 

Everyone I know, even more "progressive" people, treat me like a damn alien for not prioritizing getting a new car since mine died over covid.

Why does nobody blink an eye at this habit people have of just..... Sitting in their car in the driveway? Its not on, there's no music, they aren't leaving - they're just sitting there for an hour or more. I see it fairly often, but if I mention it being odd people look at me like I'm dumb. Are we really THAT car centric now that it's this normalized to be like "fuck my living room, fuck my TV, fuck my couch, I just wanna sit in my car all day?"

 

Howdy All! I've been self hosting some services on a pi 4 for a year or two now and have been fiddling with new services lately. I realized I'm pushing 60% or so of RAM and maxing out the SWAP file while fiddling with things. I currently just set up a nightly reboot as a temporary solution but I'm thinking about picking up a mini PC of some sort to replace it with, and wanted to get input from the community (Read: people smarter than me haha.)

I'm happy to hear any preferences anyone would care to share on hardware. I know obviously more RAM is key, as far as I'm aware CPU isn't super important and any recent-ish box will probably have a fine enough processor in it, and of course I'll probably end up getting a bigger external drive to hook up to it but that's not a big deal.

Also, I'm currently running docker/portainer on an OMV core, just how I learned/got into self hosting. Should I take the opportunity to learn Kubernetes or some other big boy system? I've not done alot of reading into it but I know clusters are gaining steam these days even for self hosting, would that be valuable to learn more about as a hobbyist/enthusiast/whatever? I'm fairly competent and used to have some CompTIA certs but as such I know better than to unnecessarily complicate my life lol. It sounds cool but I don't see a use case in my personal usage.

Thank y'all for your time and knowledge!

I'm currently running: Baikal, Bookstack, Bitwarden, Duplicati, Filebrowser, freshrss , Linkwarden, Apache, Navidrome, nginx, portainer, rpi-monitor, searxng, stirlingpdf, syncthing, watchtower,

I'm considering: Nextcloud, Maybe a game server or two depending on the needs?, Whatever else seems interesting, I guess :P
