Leftists can be fucking insane too, my guy. Lemmygrad is proof of that

Imagine being this smug about what OS people choose to use

tl;dr: Don’t install drivers from unverified sources

cars are freedom

What about my freedom to walk or bike? My freedom to be able to cross the street? My freedom to get milk without taking 2000 pounds of metal with me?

Cars warp entire cities around them. In an ideal world, everyone would be able to own a car, but very few people would need to own a car

I’m lucky enough that my backup server is at my parent’s place I’m their basement, so it’s off-site by already

Rsnapshot on a second server, saving 7 daily backups, 4 weekly backups, and 6 mk they backups

Average lemmygrad L take

Tankies fuck off

You don’t even need a 12th/13th gen chip tbh. I went from a server with a GTX 1660 to one with an i5-8600 (Well, multiple actually - it’s a kubernetes cluster). They can handle multiple 4k transcodes just fine.

Oh motherfucker

AirVPN I guess then

ProtonVPN has dynamic port forwarding via a Windows client (or a python script if on Linux). Just a heads up, since it could be awkward to work out if you’re downloading from a headless server.

I’ve heard AirVPN is good. I switched to iVPN and I’m satisfied

I’d love to, but there’s no equivalent. My friend group and I need voice channels with ACL, streaming support, video chat support, and webhook/bot support.

I use a VPS as a homelab gateway of sorts from the outside.

Essentially, the VPS runs a Wireguard server that I connect to on my OPNSense Router. The VPS then reverse-proxies all incoming traffic through the tunnel to my homelab. All my DNS entries point to the VPS’s IP. This pretty much gives me a static IP, hides my real IP, and lets me do some light caching on the VPS. Kind of like a DIY cloudflare.

I also run Uptime Kuma on the VPS, since it will continue to work if my local network is down.

Fedora for coders

And Manjaro for no one. The distro is run by clowns

I know you said you want something Debian-based, but Fedora is my go-to distro for daily driver workstations. Rock solid, has up to date software, and the release upgrade process has never failed me.

but I can’t imagine leaving lemmy because of what the devs do in their free time.

Would you still hold this opinion if the Lemmy devs were outright fascists?

Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. Understandable though, since horizontal scaling/HA usually isn’t a priority when developing a new application.

I’m not too familiar with Lemmy’s codebase, but I am a devops engineer. Is the software written in any way to support horizontal scaling? If so, I’d be happy to consult/help to get the instance onto an autoscaling platform eventually.
