  • I use a different ‘type 1’ hypervisor, create a small handful of VMs and then have a mess of containers inside containers in a couple of those. There’s a distinct VM for email since that has so many special requirements that it was just easier, one lxc/incus container host for admin tools, one for user apps, one for piefed because all these fediverse apps are so busy with the constant exchanges it kind of needs its own host to not affect others…

    Why is more a case of ease of administration frankly. Pretty much everything gets auto patched and backed up and it’s easy to put up a new service or restore things if I hose something up.

    The structure though has been a years long evolution that started out as ‘I just want a NAS to share files’ which then needed a frontend to make it more user friendly, and another app to play videos, and why not organize different file types rather than just dump em in a folder…






  • George Carlin: Sigmund Freud said “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” Oh yeah? Well sometimes it’s a big brown dick… with a fat, arrogant, white-collared, business-criminal a*****e sucking on the wet end of it!

    The world can be full of subtext and extra meanings, but it’s high stress to always be on watch for it. 🙃


  • I can get it, speaking for myself I think a big part of the ‘ick’ to the comment comes from the environment of the fedi itself.

    There seems to be an over-representation of people on here with a self-righteous, purity tested sort of mentality preaching to others how they should be shamed for not abiding by some rigid standard they would see as worthy. It wears thin after a while.

    The ‘curse of’ bit has a feel of that, ‘you’re an unenlightened cur for finding it amusing’.

    The balance as I see it is between ‘nobody should be upset about anythin so say whatever you want’ vs ‘you have to be forever careful of every word lest someone be upset’. Somewhere in there is a balance where people don’t have to be constantly on edge but aren’t acting like an unrestrained asshole.

    For point of reference, is there any name/description that wouldn’t make you upset? They could say any name and any description and there’s some case somewhere of that group being harmed. That all not accounting for the notion that there’s no indication his entire ‘book’ is young women to give it some measure of objectification/lessering.

    It’s just a crass comic depicting crazy killer sorts, whole movie/tv franchises have been spawned off such tales and events.


  • Borg is its own thing, just handy to have it built in and preconfigured to work. If you run VMs on your working host instead of running NC directly on the machine you could just back those up for pretty much the same effect, though it wouldn’t usually be a realtime backup.

    The next cloud data is fine being remote, when I say realtime I guess it could be better said as time sensitive. A database needs to update something and read it back in the right sequence for it to work properly. Just retrieving a file doesn’t have those issues.

    If you happened to use it in a way like shared collaboration of a document with realtime updates it might be an issue, but I expect in that case the revisions would hit the DB first and then be put to the file as a secondary operation. Never tried that myself though.


  • Without getting into things like a SAN it’s generally not a good plan to put anything that needs realtime access remote to the device processing it. DBs are constantly making updates and introducing the odd bit of latency or a disconnect can make for lots of issues. I also have a worker/storage split setup and for a while tried just running the VMs as a whole using remote storage to host the vdisk, it wasn’t pretty even with a separate network dedicated to it.

    For NC particularly, if you use their official AIO docker setup there is a built in borg backup you can store remotely and it makes restoration pretty painless.
