For anyone confused by this, it helped me most when someone said if there were 100 doors you’d have a 1% chance of guessing the right one off the bat. Then if they revealed 98 doors that weren’t the prize, giving you a chance to swap, you’d be a fool to keep your original guess.

More than one definition of altitude sounds the scariest. That’s literally the kind of information that keeps planes from crashing into each other.

For me it really depends on the use-case. A lot of times I want persistence but don’t really care to access the data outside of the container. So rather than using the extra brainpower to make up folders myself and ensure paths don’t change I just let Docker handle those details for me. Also I use Podman a fair amount and it seems to be more troublesome when it comes to bind mounts.

I probably made a small mistake in setting that up but I tried making the dedicated “home movies” folder and it wouldn’t show my videos.

How does this help though? If anything they would’ve helped themselves by porting more Linux commands to work natively in Windows. This move makes it easier for Windows admins and devs to switch to Linux. With the latest horrible moves in the Windows desktop space I can’t believe they’re trying to become the “RedHat of Windows”.

Only issues I’ve had with Jellyfin are reduced flexibility in naming/organizing files and inability (for me at least) to detect personal media.

These are a good alternative to RPis. Just be aware some of these are sort of haphazardly assembled so they might have cooling issues or bad power supplies.

Where possible I think E2EE should be the default. So if you want to collaborate on documents you have to explicitly check a box that might say, “By checking this box I understand that I am opting into additional features at the cost of encryption.”

I think encryption should be at the core of this project because it (1) protects the admins from some liability if/when a breach occurs and (2) the whole point of trying to get away from Google and similar hosts is to keep them from using our own data against us.

Maybe this isn’t a thing in the UK but look into a contracting/staffing company. It won’t be high quality work but it’s work and they won’t waste your time if they think you’re unhireable.

No “what if”, you 110% can! I’ve been running Linux on a netbook for over a decade. It would absolutely choke under the weight of a Windows installation.

I’m using universalblue, a Fedora derivative, that defaults to, and maybe requires btrfs, and it’s been good. Because it’s important for the immutability and atomic updates I kind of feel like I shouldn’t do anything custom with it. I haven’t seen performance issues or other weirdness. If I had a choice though I would still use btrfs. It makes backups and snapshots very easy.

You don’t need a Microsoft account, or any other remotely managed account, just to login to your machine.

You wouldn’t be supporting AI-driven decision making in which Palestinian child needs to die next.

You won’t have AI shoved into places it doesn’t belong like a simple text editor.

In addition to other advice you could also use SSH over Wireguard. Wireguard basically makes the open port invisible. If you don’t provide the proper key upfront you get no response. To an attacker the port might as well be closed.

Here’s at least one article on the subject: https://rair.dev/wireguard-ssh/

As far as improving your corner of the code goes I would say a consistent style is important but having 500 lines per function is not a style. If someone will complain about efficiency (function call stack etc) then someone needs to identify what parts are truly time-sensitive. It’s likely not the entire codebase.

Wrangling a monster code base really requires a product owner. If one person doesn’t own the application as a whole then there’s no hope of consistency in the first place.

Or at the very least, so long as its http driven, put a proxy in front and on the backend break up common features into microservices. With a proxy the consumers will have pretty much no idea they went from talking to one service to a dozen.

It’s been the hardest thing for me to instill good testing practices in devs. In a function with 23 paths devs usually burnout and only do 9 or 10. Most never consider that making the function smaller is an option.

I feel like those resources are about to get even more limited.

Exactly, you probably want a 3rd party to handle the money exchange part. Doesn’t mean a Fedi app can’t facilitate everything else.
