Use containers. Start with one device. Check your utilization after you're sure you've hit min and max for each of your services, then figure out if your single device can handle all your services gunning at once. If not, take your biggest service and migrate it to its own device.

Eventually, you might find yourself googling "Kubernetes vs Docker Swarm." When you do that, take a deep breath and decide if upgrading one device is easier than trying to horizontally scale many.

Edit: Words bad. Verbs hard.

An UPS is a must for any computer, even if all it's doing is absorbing the shock of a brownout and triggering a graceful shutdown.

I run persistent services that require 24/7 uptime.

That depends on what you want your experience to be. I run a teeny instance, don't give a shit about a Twitter-like experience, and am happy getting content only from my direct follows. It's great!

If you're expecting a deluge of bullshit from randos, definitely go register at one of the big ones instead!

If I have a closet with two Raspberry Pis running Docker Swarm, it's a Private Cloud.

Fucking hell. Teach me more money spells, wizard.

(I already know about Scotty Time, framing sexy upgrades as "tech debt reduction," and fending off trendy frameworks as "lacking maturity.")

Criticizing China on lemmy.ml goes about as well as evangelizing crypto on awful.systems. Join an instance that shares your values or roll your own. Know your audience or get the hammer.

It's like a huge chunk of the population out here has never experienced a forum before.

... according to a work trend index published Wednesday by Microsoft

Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb here and call bullshit. No one is turning to AI to alleviate burnout. The only tasks these LLM tools can reliability accomplish aren't worth using an LLM for.

Because fuck Lars Ulrich.

Did you use Shoelace, or is the name a coincidence?

"No."

User requests come through ombi and I'll reject whichever ones I feel like. No explanations, I just don't.

Home Assistant can track device location using the companion app (iOS and Android). It would take a little work to save more than the default amount of information, but it's extremely do-able.

Here's my yesterday:

Butts. It hosts web applications. The public ones are on the domain "InButts.LOL" where the subdomain is more or less the application name.
