What’s a better analogy then, sensei?

Schneider Electric APC Back-UPS 1500VA, 900W.
They power on self-test okay, but go on to just fail to switchover during outages. I’m still trying to figure out if it is a factor of cumulative time, running hours, or they’re only good for a fixed number of power failures. And whether its the battery or the UPS device itself.
It feels like crashing your car, and then the airbags go off after you’re already mangled and bleeding out.
Retail UPS batteries don’t even last a single year, in my experience. The weekly brownouts and momentary blackouts probably aren’t helping.
At this point, I’m just thinking of building my own with a charge controller, inverter and a bank of car batteries.
Consider running some kind of file integrity monitoring. samhain, tiger, tripwire, to name a few.
considering containerization, but so far, I find it not worth foregoing the benefits I get of a single package manager for the entire server
Just do MAC with either AppArmor or SELinux.
There is no best. Only least worst. Pick your poison:
AMD: Libre driver stack, require firmware blobs.
NVidia: Proprietary driver stack (kernel driver component slowly being opened), proprietary firmware exists in ROM on card so doesn’t need to be loaded at runtime.
Intel: Libre driver stack, same firmware issue as with NVidia, GPU performance generally sucks because iGPU constraints
I would say, in order from least-worst to most-worst:
AMD
Intel
NVidia
Others that I have considered, but are hopeless pipe dreams
Matrox - old, deprecated, dead, no longer in business?
S3 Chrome - assimilated into Centaur/VIA technologies, later bought out by Intel
Mali - don’t even kid yourself
Software rendering - you must be desperate
Aspeed and other 2D framebuffer solutions - good luck
Any and every “open source GPU” initiative - always dead in the water. NLnet recently pulled funding from LibreSOC because the lead dev spent more time begging for e-gold than doing any developmental work.

But lately just a mix of DS emulation, Arx Libertatis and Minetest. Boring maybe, but it’s what brings me joy.
cpu : POWER9 (raw), altivec supported
disappointment when I refuse to use Windows to play a certain game.
Been there. They coolly suggested “why don’t you dual boot?”.
Windows literally cannot be run on my CPU architecture.
The pervasive idea that games must necessarily be about conflict, competition and overcoming enemies.
It took me too long to realize that I basically just want a Star trek holodeck experience.
Docker
There’s your first mistake.
Oh, hi, I’m just stopping by from the ‘compile from source and create a systemd unit file’ tribe.
