  • Good question.

    Debian doesn’t often require a reboot, but the longer you go, and if you need kernel modules (nvidia is the worst at this) you might need to reboot to keep everything in sync.

    My suggestion: raspberry pi, like 1st edition, keep the key very secure, give it a usb serial console. When the server reboots, enter the password that way. It’s your emergency console.



  • Sigh.

    Lemmy.world is the safe, gateway drug for lemmy, the Marijuana as it were, a way to recruit normies without scaring them.

    After people get comfortable they can move to instances that suit them better.

    But the defederation serves a purpose, it’s like saying ‘I believe in completely free speech!!!’ then spamming kids with animal torture porn.











  • Have nginx for all my reverse proxies, it wasn’t trivial, but I used it for a lot of other things so it’s fine.

    I back it up manually to encrypted json, it’s not the right way, but I never had much of a proper backup system, other than zfs snapshots and occasionally mirroring to another zfs pool.

    It’s not a lot of extra work once you have the rest of your apps running, it’s fairly low maintenance and mostly just works, but again I haven’t bothered with backups really.

    Edit: Running most if not all my services on freebsd as jails, that might have made it easier.
