peglin as well.

True

Fail2ban works really well.

Basically. It’s just Ubuntu server with some really good niceties.

nice.

I need to get something dead simple/no cloud etc… Just shopping around.

Do you use any sort of RAID? Recently, ive been using an old SSD, but back 9ish years ago, I used to backup everything with a RAID system, but it took too much time to keep up.

I have to agree, the community seems to come and go. Some apps have daily updates and some have been updated only once. If I were to start a new server, I would probably still pick yunohost, but remove some of the older apps as one offs. The lemmy one for example is stuck on a VERY old version. However the GotoSocial app is updated every time there is an update in the main repo.

Still super good support for something that is free and open source. Stable too :) but sometimes stability means old.

Honestly after using docker and containerization for more than a decade, my home setups are just yunohost or baremetal (a small pi) with some periodic backups. I care more about my own time now than my home setup and I want things to just be stable. Its been good for a couple of years now, without anything other than some quick updates. You dont have to deal with infa changes with updates, you dont have to deal with slowdowns, everything works pretty well.

At work its different Docker, Kubernetes, etc… are awesome because they can deal gracefully with dependencies, multiple deploys per day, large infa. But ill be the first to admit that takes a bit more manpower and monitoring systems that are much better than a small home setup.

The posters are kinda nightmare fuel.

Puppy is pretty neat.

Dont get me wrong, im happy it exists, but i feel like getting a 70-80$ monitor that is 20+ inches at is better than their offering. It will even come with a power cord.

Im not 100% sure about the monitor especially since you have to get another power adapter for 15$, but the 500 looks neat.

Interesting I’ll give it a shot.

It’s one of the reasons I linked the hn discussion. Lots of accusations going around right now. It’s unfortunate as I like that app, but this kind of splitting is important to know about.

Sometimes I wish lemmy/fediverse had an option to detect if something was on the fedi and give you the option to direct link. Would make it nicer to vote/follow.

Yep I just go to indies now. The AAA studios feel just samey.

Yeah I bet people are just getting by with a phone. There’s an entire generation that uses phones for 95% of their computer needs.

I’m using a phone app right now haha.

Unless its for myself or my family I ant gonna do it :D

I think in retirement, my goal will be to step back from the keyboard and go fishing/gardening or something. Unless I get the itch to do coding, Im not going to do it.

Sometimes ill do TDD, sometimes ill do the opposite. When I know what something looks like or should function. Im not sure what the technical term of itis, but ive heard someone call it Scaffold testing. Its making sure all the parts work as expected (Unit and integration/e2e) for your future sanity.

TDD lets you experiment and makes multiple potential solutions to a general problem. IE starting with the end first. Scaffolding lets you create a scaffold around what you already built so its more rigid. Both have their place.

Heh yeah. I feel that. Close to 20 now and Im starting to feel the churn. But its still a good feeling to give direction and see people grow. I used to be a team lead in addition to a senior dev…now im just a dev (being an individual contributor is fun again) and the 40 tabs bit resonates with me. I find that AI is good a surface level assignments like build basic CRUD/models…but it Fd up so hard sometimes its hard to come back from. Definition of spaghetti sometimes haha. I just go back to the old stuff that I know works.
