but if they were trying to conceal it from you then that might be a bad sign.

Not at all surprising move from a FAANG company. Fucking people over is in their blood.

That doesn’t matter because they won’t be here by the time that happens

Doesn’t help with the bloated web and local webapps, though. Also, you’ll need to choose from a set of desktop environments that were made with lower resource usage in mind. Also don’t forget that while linux is often faster, a slow drive is still a slow drive and it can help only so much if you keep your OS and heavyweight software on a HDD.

It could be a good idea to move more critical things to a different machine. It’s often said that you shouldn’t run your router and/or firewall on your main server, but I think there are also security reasons for that.

Or to move those to a low power consumption machine with cheaper hardwRe that are either more resource friendly, or very heavy but it’s fine if they can only finish their task over a longer time.

Also, think about how could things go wrong. Have a second DNS and DHCP server (it’s difficult to run a secondary DHCP besides the primary, maybe you don’t need that), and some way you can reach the internet if the router or the firewall gets borked. That “way” does not need to be accessible at all times, but you should be able to switch it on when needed.
Don’t forget to test that these are actually working after you have sweet them up.

Whatever you decide on, don’t forget that you don’t have to do everything at once. Don’t let it overload you. Learning new tech takes time.

It’s not weird when they are saying weird things and you want to find out about their motives.

Not in the toilet

Each of which depend on chrome and google’s decisions.

I doubt DND (Do Not Disturb) hides those notification icons on any phones. It’s purpose is just to mute the sound and vibration of most of them.

You also need to buy that TV to test that

To be fair, that’s not much of a thing with windows

but who would have thought something that sounds as simple as wanting to RDP across 4 monitors would be so damn difficult.

The ubuntu unstability surprised me (not that I would recommend it anyways), but this didn’t. Isn’t RDP a proprietary protocol of Microsoft? Probably not too many use it in the Linux world

But if you’re pursuing a MSc, you shouldn’t be wasting your time with gaming either, so that’s not a problem… /s

That’s true, but I may be interested in things that I wouldn’t think of by myself that they exist.

I honestly doubt that WSL runs at native speeds. WSL2 literally runs in a VM, and IO performance is known to be worse even compared to WSL1. Maybe it’s just not directly noticable. Do you run a graphical environment in it? If not, that could help a lot too in not noticing it.

That’s very weird as with docker on windows you technically run your containers in a linux vm, and besides that, in my experience windows is not nearly stable enough to be useful for running services.
All while I have been deploying selfhosted services for myself without problems on Linux for years. My only problem has been the constantly overloaded system, but that’s no surprise when you run heavy services on the 10+ year old portable hard drive system disk. Windows would only perform worse in that environment.

I think there’s a missing detail.

Do you want to use different towels for the different parts of you even right after showering? Or only so that a different one for after shovering, another for your hands for when you just washed hands, and another for the face when you just washed your face?
I don’t think the former is normal, but the latter is. A different one for showring and just washing your hands is good to have I think, and if you have got oily skin then a third one for your face is also completely understandable.

Yes, but actually no, if you want to access it remotely. DONT OPEN THE WEB PORTS TO THE INTERNET, rather use a vpn like wireguard to connect in to the home network.

Also, backups.

Please read my comment again. My concerns are not about google drive shutting down. These have happened to real people.

Yes, that may be an option… except that google can irreversibly lock you out of your account, or they can delete your files if their content scanning think it goes against some of their terms, but also simply there are people who don’t want to lose their privacy to google.

If you can see DMs between 2 e.g. sh.itjust.works users that’s very worrying, but if you can only see messages where one participant is registered on your instance, that’s just natural.

Other than that, I think vote information should only be visible to

• the instance’s admins where the user is registered
• the community’s mods (and in turn the admins of it’s instance) where the reaction has taken place,
  and not to any and all instance admin who is federating with your instance.
