I wasn’t using boomer as an insult, I was specifically referring to the generation that is currently either retired or in the process of retiring and is most affected by SS cuts. Like it or not, that generation voted overwhelmingly for Trump, especially in Oklahoma.

This article is taking about boomers in Oklahoma. I guarantee 90+% of them voted for Trump.

You mean that preventing people from being able to purchase the things they need to purchase in order to do their job will slow down their progress? Who could have possible seen that coming?

Does ZFS allow for easy snapshotting like btrfs?

Absolutely

edit a filename while the file is open

Any Linux filesystem will do that

it gives people the option to use an alternate app store if they want but it doesn’t force anyone to.

That argument sounds great in theory, but would break down after a month or less, when companies start moving their apps off of Apple’s App Store and onto a 3rd party store that allows all the spyware Apple has forced them to remove if they want to have an iOS market. This move DOES force people to use alternate app stores when companies start moving (not copying, moving) their apps over to said stores to take advantage of the drop in oversight.

Yes, by staying privately funded and not throwing everything away chasing quarterly profits

Same, I don’t let Docker manage volumes for anything. If I need it to be persistent I bind mount it to a subdirectory of the container itself. It makes backups so much easier as well since you can just stop all containers, backup everything in ~/docker or wherever you put all of your compose files and volumes, and then restart them all.

It also means you can go hog wild with docker system prune -af --volumes and there’s no risk of losing any of your data.

I would separate the media and the Jellyfin image into different pools. Media would be a normal ZFS pool full of media files that gets mounted into any VM that needs it, like Jellyfin, sonarr, radarr, qbittorrent, etc. (preferably read-only mounted in Jellyfin if you’re going to expose Jellyfin to the internet).

As far as networking, from what I could see the only real change casaos was doing was mapping its dashboard to port 80, but not much more. Is there anything more I should be aware in general?

It depends on how you have things set up. If you’re just doing normal docker compose networking with port forwards then there shouldn’t be much to change, but if you’re doing anything more advanced like macvlan then you might have to set up taps on the host to be able to communicate with the container (not sure if CasaOS handles that automatically).

The nice thing about docker is all you need to do is backup your compose file, .env file, and mapped volumes, and you can easily restore on any other system. I don’t know much about CasaOS, but presumably you have the ability to stop your containers and access the filesystem to copy their config and mapped volumes elsewhere? If so this should be pretty easy. You might have some networking stuff to work out, but I suspect the rest should go smoothly and IMO would be a good move.

When self-hosting, the more you know about how things actually work, the easier it is to fix when something is acting up, and the easier it is to make known good backups and restore them.

Yes it’s paid, but the quality is worlds above Bing, DDG, or Google. The best description I can make is that it’s what Google Search was about 15 years ago, back when there were no AI results, no ads, no artificially promoted results, and you could vote on results and block domains from appearing in your searches. Back when Google Search was actually good.

So it doesn’t do anything new or groundbreaking, it’s just what a search engine is supposed to be, in a time when every other option has abandoned that goal in the endless search for more revenue.

One of these days the police will catch one of those elusive drag queens who are corrupting and raping all of those kids…

It’s because they exclusively get their news from places that refuse to report on those things. Then when they do hear about them, they dismiss it as fake news because if it was true then surely their super awesome news source would have told them about it.

While true, and I have a lot of DRM-free music that I’ve bought from Apple, the difference is that getting music purchased from Apple onto your computer in a usable format is a bit of a pain, and it’s all lossy. Music from Qobuz can be downloaded directly from their site after purchasing, in lossless FLAC format, and many of their albums are available in high-res 24-bit and/or 96 kHz format as well.

What does farming have to do with anything? It was a paid endorsement, an infomercial run by the sitting President of the US. It’s disgusting.

Elon is really unpopular right now and “regular” republicans feel like he and DOGE are attacking them.

Only those who have been personally harmed. The rest of them, and that’s the vast majority, actually believe Elon is cleaning up the government and finding/eliminating corruption. I work with one, he’s convinced everything DOGE has found and cut is corruption/fraud, the kids who are rooting through the Treasury are geniuses capable of finding things that no other administration has been able to (or been willing to?) find, and ultimately the Government is going to run more efficiently and taxes can be lower for regular people when it’s all said and done. They’re too deep in the rabbit hole to see the light.

Would you mind if I added this as a discussion (crediting you and this post!) in the github project?

Yeah that would be fine

The measure of whether a system of government is good or bad is not “how long it lasts”.

But from a grammatical sense it’s the opposite. In a sentence, a comma is a short pause, while a period is a hard stop. That means it makes far more sense for the comma to be the thousands separator and the period to be the stop between integer and fraction.
