  Thank you for posting this! I’ve been increasing the memory for my VM over and over and it was using 24GB RAM + 4GB swap. Hopefully this will let me reclaim some.

  You should invest in broad-market index funds regularly and not pay attention to the news (as far as your investing goes).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landing page for all my services⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Jump for guests, Homepage for me, and Organizr for both.

  Nope, you’ve got the hang of it.

  The texture on that will be awful once you add sauce, though.

  Get a new phone for use while traveling, then dump it when you’re back home. Leave your services behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Universe would die before monkey with keyboard writes Shakespeare, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Two Australian mathematicians have deemed it misleading, working out that even if all the chimpanzees in the world were given the entire lifespan of the universe, they would “almost certainly” never pen the works of the bard.

  all the chimpanzees in the world

  infinite monkeys

  I’m glad they had fun doing some math, but this is not news, nor is the original saying misleading. With an infinite number of monkeys, a smaller-yet-still-infinite number of them would produce the works of Shakespeare. The reason this saying works is because of the concept of infinity, not some random finite number.

  No one has to do anything. Live your life. Choose how you want to be addressed.

  You don’t hear lawyers going around being called Dr. Lastname, despite having JDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to start as a beginner⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Start with running something in docker. Probably get containous/whoami running, then portainer, then either traefik or caddy.

  Once you’ve got that all working, you can run anything you want easily.

  If you’ve got an old machine lying around, you can use that to start.
