This is 100% my opinion too.

I’m annoyed that I supported them and got a lifetime account on sale. At the same time I’m happy that I can take my time testing and moving my family and friends over to something else.

“I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada,” Trump said.

I’ll take that as a complement from you. Thanks!

I refuse to drink at work parties. Everyone else does and I get some peer pressure to drink but I don’t care. Its normal to see people get super drunk and embarrass themselves which is why I don’t even start.

Specifically at lunch, if I’m not driving and others are having a beer I will but only one. If I’m driving, it depends on how I’m feeling.

Working from home I’ve been known to have a beer or two on a Friday afternoon by my self.

When I left my last job we had a meeting at the end of the day with the guys I got along with and anyone they wanted to invite. There was about 15 people from different departments with their cameras on having a drink or smoking (pot) if they didn’t drink as a goodbye. Was a nice goodbye. Lol

I host pingvin for people to send stuff to me. To send, usually I’ll just move the file into a folder that exposed to Nginx with indexing and send that link. Otherwise I’ll also just use my pingvin instance.

Not really self promotion but a couple family members started a small shop in Eastern Ontario. I helped set up the site a couple years ago.

I love you

I’m not big on ice cream but I picked some up for the first time last week.

I wish Americans would do more. I don’t support any kind of harm but there has to be SOMETHING the people can do to get that orange asshole and first lady musk out.

I’ve had no problems with the normal nextcloud apache container for the last couple years. I lock to a major version and let it update itself on the minors until I feel like like changing the yaml to the next major. I’ve gone from 24 to 30 this way without issue.

Actually, I do have to install the contacts and calendar apps from time to time but that’s only when I want to use the webUI for them, caldav/carddav has always worked.

Cherished. Hah.

I’m personally not willing to be on call but I was up around the same time and willing to help if they need it. I’ve been a Linux Admin for 13+ years and have my own k8s cluster in the basement.

I also don’t mind the downtime. Thank you guys for everything you’re doing!

Charge us whatever you want, nothing will change that I do not want to become the 51st state.

We’ll make new friends who went to kindergarten and have learned how to make friends and share. You’re quickly becoming background noise already.

Thinking more about it, If you just want to host and not mess around like I do, I would use your current computer, install Docker on it and see how you like it. Host a example website see if you can get it to work, Try a Minecraft server and see if it works… If that’s not for you then you can try VMs with an entire OS. This will be a lot more overhead but it will also work.

After you know what you like (Docker containers or an entire VM), I’d design what you want to do. Are you going to have a lot of people on your Jellyfin and Minecraft servers? how much RAM, CPU, Storage do they use?

Once you have that information, Look at prices, Do you want one big PC and will it do everything you want? If you need to buy several, maybe it’s better to get a bunch of small ones?

If it’s one big PC then you’re done. Get it, install Docker/VM and go.

If you want to play around or you need to get many PCs, do you want to cluster them so Minecraft server can move to a different PC if that PC fails? then do Swarm or K3s if you’re okay with docker.

If you need to do small PCs, maybe you install Docker normally on each and manage them separately.

In the end it’s totally up to you what you do. I use K8s :)

I’ve never actually used swarm so I could be wrong. However, I was under the impression that Docker swarm is a lot easier to use with a lot more examples for people to deploy their Containers.

With K8s/K3s I find myself translating a lot of docker examples into deployment yamls with Services, Network Policies, PVCs, secrets, etc, etc. It’s just a lot more lines in the .yml files. This also assumes you know that anything that you run in docker you can run in K8s with 1 replica and more is not ideal.

Yeah, so you have more than one PC and they will talk to each other and decide who hosts what.

For example, you host nextcloud and the cluster will decide (unless you tell it differently) it goes to PC1. Then you host Minecraft and the cluster will put it on PC2.

Now, PC2 dies, you unplug it, or generally something bad happens. The cluster will see that Minecraft isn’t running, PC2 is down, and start Minecraft on PC1. The best part, just keep adding cheap computers as you need more compute power. One container (Plex,emby,etc) can not run on two or more computers. If you need to transcoded then you’ll want one with a GPU or a more powerful CPU depending on how many people will use the service.

This all assumes you’re not using local data. Meaning if the Minecraft save and config files are on PC2 and it dies, starting it on PC1 will either not work or be 100% new. There’s other self hosted software to replicate the data to more than one computer or you can have a NAS of some sort.

It’s a bit more advanced but a lot of fun if you enjoy that kind of thing. It allows you to work on your stuff with minimal downtime. Of
