Compared to web-forum sites?

Half-dozen of one, 6 of the other, I’d say. It’s like they both don’t want to BE UseNET, but want the same federation and reach.

At least a few webfora tools work as mere WebUIs backing onto UseNET NNTP backbone, and that’s got the potential to use, preserve and extend the life of that protocol and interchange. But a federation that’s older than a few years may not get the love for shine that the neu protocols get.

Don’t forget, disaster recovery with a 7010 is a bobble, as you pull the disks out of one and pop them into the next and you’re likely back up and running.

Or, hell, run two with gluster. ;-)

Pros:

• better validation of installation and content, as long as you’re otherwise set for that.
• easier setup
• easier management
• easier teardown
• simpler firewalling

Cons: (vs docker-on-vm)

• your homelab isn’t someone’s resume
