Yes. Containers are awesome in that they let you use an application inside a sandbox, but beyond that you can deploy it anywhere.

If you’re in the sysadmin world you should not only embrace Docker but I’d recommend learning k8s, too, if you still enjoy those things.

It would effect any UEFI based system regardless of OS from one of the affected manufacturers (which is basically all of them).

Correct.

Side note if you can’t figure out how to use psycopg2 in a 5 line tutorial you have even less ability than you thought you did

Just sit them down with it. Kids can figure new technology out.

For anyone doing this, set up your spending and budget alerts and actions. It’s possible to accidentally fuck something up and end up with an aws bill that’ll suck, but this will give you some measure of protection from that in case you accidentally misconfigure something.

Note: Create your partitions from your empty space. You may need to resize your existing partition to do this. But don’t practice on your main drive.

This is a simple job, in that the steps are few, but it’s something that causes catastrophic data loss if you get it wrong.

I’d recommend buying a cheap second drive, doesn’t have to be big or even good. Partition it, mount it, make sure you can make the partitions automatically mount, teach yourself to copy data around, umount it and remount, make sure you got it right.

Just… these are all very simple things. I wouldn’t hesitate to repartition my own drives. But if you fuck it up you fuck it up good. Make sure you know the operations you’re taking first. Measure twice, cut once, all that jazz.

Boot from a live distro so you can modify your boot disk. Use the disk utility to create partitions. Copy the data to the relevant partitions ensuring to maintain file ownership and permissions. Modify /etc/fstab to mount the partitions at the designated locations in the filesystem.

I don’t bother putting anything but /home on its own dedicated partition, but if you ask 10 people this question you’ll get 12 opinions, so just do what feels right.

Actually just saw btop mentioned on Lemmy the other day lol

htop and/or btop are more modern user friendly alternatives to the classic top

You might check out xfce. It’s gtk like Gnome but the development team doesn’t have their heads up their asses; pretty much every aspect of xfce can be customized. It should be a simple install from your package manager, whatever distribution you’re using. The downside of this, however, is it might take extensive tweaking to get it to look how you want as it’s a pretty bare bones UI by default. Personally I like it, but ymmv.

That’s the beautiful thing about the Linux world. If you don’t like some aspect there’s virtually always an alternative.

You’ll thank yourself for it later. Things like this take a little longer up front but putting them off has a way of making you have to work around it again and again until, when you get around to correcting it, it takes far more time to undo the workarounds than it would’ve taken to correct it the first time.

I don’t think you understand what root is. By definition it has those permissions because it’s root.

If a different user doesn’t exist then you obviously can’t run the command as that different user. The only solution here is to create a new user account.

Also your image is improperly configured which is something you should fix first.

Yeah my server is an i5 using an onboard GPU so it’s nothing crazy but it’s got 80TB of drive space, so I optimize for what I put my money into.

Hell, sometimes it’s even easier to copy the data to my gaming rig, transcode it, and rsync it back. If I’m done playing for the night and about to go to bed and I have like a TV show or something I know has to be transcoded, I’ll just queue up a job and let it run while I’m sleeping and script it so it rsyncs everything back when it’s done transcoding.

Admittedly the server on which it’s running is pretty beefy and I don’t let it transcode. I’ve got enough disk space that if something spends time transcoding I just optimize it to a new version of the file.

By bandwidth I was speaking in terms of network only, but if you were to run it on a simple server that didn’t do any transcoding it might be ok.

If I’m just using them as a glorified small Linux box it could work pretty well. If you’re going to host services that don’t require a ton of bandwidth you don’t need a hard line or anything. Hell my Plex server is using WiFi (802.11ax but still) and it delivers 4K just fine.

Don’t bundle your app, let the CDNs do their job. God damn, that’s revolutionary.

Hopefully your idea takes off like the idiot that started the “monorepos” craze.

To your credit, your idea is actually good.

2Gbps symmetric fiber, $70/month, flyover state. Could go up to 5Gbps for another like $20. No data caps. I may never move again.
