I got a huge kick out of this. Superb.

The number of redundant drives actually doesn't make much difference, but it does "help". Instead of picturing individual drive failures, picture a house fire.
Also picture the next step after one of the drives fails -- you'll be copying all of that data off of your 1 good drive, putting a lot of stress on it. That drive is likely from the same batch, same age, etc. as the failed drive. The likelihood of your good drive failing during the recovery process is higher than one might like.
What happens when your Synology fails? Do you have offsite backup to Backblaze or something similar?
Only 80 and 443 get forwarded to nginx. nginx handles everything from there. Close the other ports.
Which ports did you forward?
Oh gotcha. I'd suppose that if a person is that concerned with Threads, they're probably invested in the idea of Lemmy such that transferring to another instance is not out of the question. Someone who's not interested in putting in the effort to transfer probably doesn't feel strongly either way about Threads. That's just an assumption on my part, of course.
I haven't noticed much of a difference in shipping time. If I order something online I'm not depending on it to arrive quickly.
I don't think the world admins really care if users transfer away. That's just federation in action. Good stuff.
All of their ads that said "there's more to prime!" are what planted the seed in my mind that I should cancel. I don't use any of the "more" stuff, but we were paying for it anyway.
I don't miss Prime at all. You still get free shipping as long as you let you wait until you have $35 of stuff in your cart.
Will you use it for other stuff or just virtualization? Proxmox is designed for virtualization. It's based on Debian and has a web GUI.
I'm going to set up a cronjob to restart the Lemmy docker container every 6 hours. That seems to be around when stuff stops working usually.
I think they do it to be funny (I hope). Like making fun of the folks on Facebook who write stuff like "I hearby declare that all of my posts are my property and can't be harvested for data" or whatever.
