I switched over to Netim after Gandi announced their new prices and removed the free mailboxes. They’re a bit pricey (close to current Gandi pricing) but it comes with a mailbox (1GB) and a 250MB website.

lemmyvore ,

They were close to Gandi pricing. Gandi just hiked up their prices on most TLDs by 75-100%. For my next renewal all my domains show up as €28 now. Netim is actualy looking pretty good right now with €15-22. 😆

As much as I understand beehaw admin has every right to defedorate with any instance, and I respect and appreciate beehaw admins looking after the community.

However, it seems this instance is no longer for me. I want to see more content by more people. There needs to be a balance of content quantity vs content quality. I personally think that beehaw is leaning too much towards quality for my personal liking.

ollie , to selfhosted in Just started hosting Vaultwarden. It's freaking awesome.

how are you doing your backups now? are you using the 3-2-1 backup strategy?

balance_sheet OP ,

Not really, no. I have an HDD and an SSD both in a same machine. Data in SSD gets copied to HDD everyday. I don’t have any remote backup yet. How do you do your remote backup?

ollie ,

encrypted Rsync to a free Backblaze account. be sure to test your backups tho

deepdive , to selfhosted in Podman is awesome—and totally frustrating

This makes me anxious… How do you cope with all these different technologies… I mean everything is evolving so fast and everyone wants to have his OWN way of doing things… This is messed up ! Right now IT seems a big maze of technologies and nobody seems to be in sync with each other… specially in devOP and Networking…

I don’t know about Podman, but it’s baffling how much you need to know and understand in IT… And If every 3 years you have to relearn everything, it’s a never ending chase of dying and abandoned technologies and a wast of time :/

Just my 2cent, nothing special !

@cardes@social.pi.vaduzz.de avatar

@deepdive @witten I think the more you dig the more you find you could learn, probably like every other topic with enough people on it. If you want to keep it simple you mostly still have the chance to just use a little linux machine and put everything there the "old" way. For example: I spend some 3-4 months building a kubernetes stack for my homelab, getting everything to run perfectly, then scrapped everything to rewrite it again with a bit of ansible and a single machine because it justworks

deepdive ,

I think the more you dig the more you find you could learn

True, but it’s really frustrating to spend time to learn something that’s maybe going to be useless ? Just look at networking in linux distros between networkd, NetworkManager, netplan, nmtui, nmcli, networkctl, ifupdown… all working in different locations and all having their own way of doing things… This is is fucked up :/

Imagine learning docker’s all subtilities and next year it’s deprecated in favor of another technology with his own flavors and commands… :/

cardes ,
@cardes@social.pi.vaduzz.de avatar

@deepdive Yes this can get frustrating if you let it get to you. I‘m 25 years into this and all i learned is how to look stuff up and forgot the rest. I don‘t learn technologies, i try to reduce them to some basic knowledge so i can handle them well enough. Things change all the time and i‘m too lazy to keep track of all that stuff, docker is dead. Its especially true in my actual playground at work where we are using kubernetes. Some of the most complex and fast paced stuff i ever worked with.

lambalicious ,

And this is why the trick is learning and focusing the technologies that stick at a “lower level” of the stack, and that have been battle-tested by years or even decades so it’s understood that they won’t just “go away”. Like eg.: learning C or Fortran instead of learning ${niche_language_of_year_20xx}. For the docker bracket for example the near equivalent would be hmmm I’d say (s)chroot.

Then again from here to around 5 years docker will the the schroot of its tech bracket.

witten OP ,

I dunno, I think part of the trick is not learning every single new technology that comes your way. So much of tech these days is just fashion, and you can safely ignore most stuff until there’s a deafening drumbeat bashing down your door. And even then, you should ask if the drumbeat really suits your use cases or if everyone’s in such a fervor over it because it’s fashionable and they’re using it for things it’s not suited for.

Don’t give into the FOMO. Use your judgment. And don’t worry about Podman if what you’re doing now is working!

MarkHughes4096 , to linux in Picked up these today at the library can't wait. been digging in already.

Hope you have fun learning C, I use it at work and quite enjoy working with it :)

shufflerofrocks , to youshouldknow in YSK: Installing a bidet attachment to your toilet is super easy and probably cleaner than using toilet paper.

Please God, I beg you all to do this. I mean no disrespect to y’all at all.

I have been using a bidet/health faucet/Jet spray all my life. I was so shocked and disgusted when I found out people in the west used toilet paper 🤢🤢

I’ve used toilet paper a few times in emergencies and I’ve regretted it everytime. The difference between water and paper in cleaning your butt is so vast.

Sebbe , to selfhosted in Just started hosting Vaultwarden. It's freaking awesome.

The nice thing about syncing services like Vaultwarden is that all your synced devices kind of act like backups. You should still keep proper backups too, of course, but this makes me sleep a bit better at night at least.

Yeah, this too… like… I have Bitwarden synced in different computers/phones, so at least most of the passwords will still be somewhere.

JASN_DE , to nostupidquestions in How did so many languages end up with such similar alphabets?

Because most of them are based on very few languages, e.g. Latin.

ThatWeirdGuy1001 OP ,
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works avatar

But the Latin alphabet looks very different from the alphabet you see in most of these countries I’m referring to

Canadian_Cabinet ,

Dark green is Latin based. It’s like almost all of Europe. What countries do you speak of then?

ThatWeirdGuy1001 OP ,
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works avatar

English, French, German, Spanish. The main languages descended from Latin. They all have extremely similar alphabets that imo don’t resemble Latin characters at all.

ElmiHalt ,

You sure you’ve seen thr Latin alphabet? Maybe you’ve mixed it up with Greek? I’m not trying to be mean or anything, I’m just really confused… the pronunciation is certainly different but the characters are mostly same

ThatWeirdGuy1001 OP ,
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works avatar

You are completely correct that’s exactly what I did lmao I apologize for the confusion.

Canadian_Cabinet ,

Jajaja I read your comment a few times and only got more confused. Latin actually partially comes from Greek which is why there are several letters in commonEdit: accidentally posted Spanish Wikipedia, my bad

RotaryKeyboard , to youshouldknow in YSK: Googling for terms on all lemmy domains

So this is a good idea in principle, but there are a lot of sites that don’t follow the “lemmy.tld” format. I checked the list of instances connected to our site, lemmy.ninja. We’ve been up for a few days, so we’ve accumulated a lot of instances by now. Following the Lemmy.* format gave me 285 out of 585 of our current instances. So just under 50%.

Spacecraft ,

@Kichae pointed out here why it may not really matter too much. As long as everything is pretty well cross pollinated, things should be discoverable. I imagine the bigger the user base the better it will be.

Glome , to linux in What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution?

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It's surprisingly stable for a rolling release distro.

Yes, I was a distro hopper up until I tried Tumbleweed for the first time. Been using it for two years now, hopped around for a year prior.

markstos , to selfhosted in Podman is awesome—and totally frustrating

I see it as a feature that Podman containers are run via systemd. This makes their management consistent with the other systemd-managed services. Also, Docker does it own things with logs, while with systemd, the logs are managed in a consistent way as well.

Maybe you missed podman generate systemd? Podman will generate the systemd unit files for you.

For me, the two big benefits of podman are being able to run containers via systemd and improved security by being able to run them rootless.

denzuko ,
@denzuko@lemmy.world avatar

I actually find this a huge problem. Not all distros are built around LSB, XDG, or FreeDesktop.org nor should they be since not everyone is running Linux as a workstation/PC replacement. While yes for the most part podman can be ran on the likes of Gentoo, Alpine, Arch and etc. It becomes a pain in the arse to decouple the tooling for podman away from freedesktop.org standards. Even more a pain in the arse for clustering options (e.g. podman-remote expects freedesktop.org norms, kubernetes expects docker containerd or freedesktop.org with podman, and nomad stack is just bulky vaporware).

The really sad part of this is that podman isn’t adding much of anything new that LXC or linux namespaces outside of not needing a daemon, allowing rootless execution (again because it doesn’t need a daemon) and giving ACLs around which OCI repos could be pulled from unlike docker’s wildcard by default. It shouldn’t be hard to do linux containerization without being tied to anything other than the linux kernel.
