- Comment on how do you manage your server? 49 minutes ago:
Depends what you’re trying to do, really
If you’re talking about going in and restarting containers and checking logs, there are tools like Portainer that give a nice UI you can quickly use from your phone
If you’re talking about repetitive tasks, sometimes there’s a tool to automate it already (e.g. updates via watchtower, unattended-upgrades), and if not, you can write a script and possibly run it via a cronjob if that makes sense
If you’re talking about doing new stuff, you either stick with the SSH & shell commands, or you look into IaC tools like ansible as another reply mentioned. Another option is something like Nix where the setup is defined in config, so you make your changes there
- Comment on Bungie decide their destiny is to do more Destiny after all, pledging to bring back vaulted Destiny 2 campaigns while declaring that Marathon "needs to evolve" 3 days ago:
It’s kinda tough to actually delete stuff in any modern software house, by default you get multiple copies of everything everywhere without having to try (decentralised source & asset control), and then there are usually intentional backups on top of all that.
There’s also basically no benefit to deleting stuff, there’s not really much cost to be saved, and you never know if you’re going to want something again.
The only thing here is potential incompatibilities with stuff currently in the game and what’s been removed, but unless there’s some technical limits they’ve been pushing up against, it should be relatively straightforward to work on resolving those
- Comment on Expanding my laptops HDD capacity 3 weeks ago:
Part of me wonders what chipset is running that adapter, and if you’d get a better one if you went for a miniSAS adapter rather than individual sata ports (enterprise port generally implying a better controller chip)
Then realised there would probably be no use for such an adapter in enterprise so if you did get a different connector it would probably just be the same interface chip as whatever is in this.

A decade of falling incomes? JRF’s pre-budget assessment of living standards https://www.jrf.org.uk/cost-of-living/a-decade-of-falling-incomes-jrfs-pre-budget-assessment-of-living-standards
The 1950s-1980s are a unique time in human history where things generally got insanely better for many people, particularly in the west, and basically created the modern concept of the middle class.
At the end of the 80s Thatcher and Reagan had set the time bomb, public wealth was burned to give the illusion of even more prosperity, except now the prosperity was going, year on year, predominantly to the elite again, as it was in the Victorian era.
Now we’re here, the bomb is going off, things are getting worse for everyone except the ultra wealthy, denying it just makes it easier for them to ensure you can’t resist when the penny drops.
They want us back in our places, with Victorian era inequality

Authentik is great, super versatile, if not a bit of effort to get it set up initially

Oh let me help you out
It’s like how the USA is not the same as America or North America

Great Britain is the big island in the British isles (all of the land including the whole of Ireland, channel isles, etc). Think how gran canaria is the big island of the Canary isles.
The United Kingdom is the name of the country run by the British government (England, Scotland, Wales & NI)
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 year ago:
For a good while, Plex was the only game in town that did the job well, and they put the transcoding feature behind the paywall.
Given it wasn’t that expensive for a lifetime pass a number of years ago (I remember it was cheaper than a game anyway) and they still seemed relatively user-centric at the time, many people like me felt like they were supporting developers building something that was useful to us.
I still run my Plex server since it’s not really costing me not to, but I’ve been running Jellyfin too for a little while and it more or less can do the same job these days
