Have you considered giving your linux install a little caffeine?

N…not quite…

Jokes on you, dude is rocking Qubes /s

You’ve got this! 🔥

It’s abstraction all the way down?!

Reddit is dead to me, and given their stance on their apis, should be dead to pretty much all hobbiests deeply interested in self hosting.

I’d recommend against it. Apple’s software ecosystem isn’t as friendly for self hosting anything, storage is difficult to add, ram impossible, and you’ll be beholden to macOS running things inside containers until the good folks at Asahi or some other coummity startup add partial linux support.

And yes, I’ve tried this route. I ran an m1 mac mini as a home server for a while (running jellyfin and some other containers). It pretty consistently ran into software bugs (less maintained than x64 software) and every time I wanted to do an update instead of sudo whateveryourdistroships update, and a reboot, it was an entire process involving an apple account, logging into the bare metal device, and then finally running their 15-60 minute long update. Perfectly fine and acceptable for home computing, but not exactly a good experience when you’re hosting a service.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t join the contract negotiation meeting, but the amount they’d need to fork over would be substantial.

Yeah. Microsoft has definitely cornered the market on corporate education for sysadmins.

Linux supports active directory natively and can be joined to a windows hosted active directory domain. It supports centralized policy management as well and in addition there’s a completely open source implementation in: https://www.openldap.org/ supported by RedHat.

There’s more money flowing through linux systems than you can even imagine. It’s an incredibly lucrative target that runs approx 85-90% of all internet service servers.

Embrace. Extend. Extinguish.

Those words proved the folly of the “free as in freedom” open source many moons ago.

I will say I’ve never ever even once had an issue with my M1 pro 16", can’t say that about any other laptop I’ve owned (be it battery swelling, software bugs, or “issues” one learns to live with like sleep mode causing boot crashes or sleep mode draining battery %). Kinda amazing in hindsight.

You literally cannot mess with your emissions system legally… nor can you disable or modify certain safety systems (seat belts, etc). Software that goes into vehicles requires validation testing. You might be fine doing 1 off things, but there will never be a “flash able” car on the market that let’s you bring your own software, and honestly I’m good with that. I don’t need your massive multiple ton machine bluescreening down the highway or locking up the breaks randomly because you installed the wrong module.

That’ll literally never happen due to testing and safety requirements.

How I imagine you responding to your singular downvoter:

Thanks for the psa op

+1 for namecheap. They’ve been reliable and fair to me for years.

Idk numpy go brrrrrrrrrr. I think it’s more just the right tool for the right job. Most languages have areas they excel at, and areas where they’re weaker, siloing yourself into one and thinking it’s faster for every implementation seems short sighted.
