I think a possibility is a series of open source anvil or nixos scripts that you can run on most hardware with minimal changes, in an extendable architecture of some kind to add or remove functionality and they perhaps get maintained by the community or some structure of the kind of Linux distributions.
This could enable people with minimal skills set up and maintain a reasonably useful but secure environment just by changing a few variables.
Perhaps this was written much earlier than v5.
You just summoned a demon

All business models are aimed at company profitability. Customer satisfaction is an expensive early necessity which you can largely do away with as you become entrenched.
I’m assuming it’s aimed at people trying to avoid tying the hosting IP to the publicly consumable service.
Not if you indicate you are sure in advance
For most commercial products they offer what they call Copilot with data protection.
I hate that they are shoving it down everyone’s throat but data leakage is a primary company concern that they have addressed.
Now, how much that is true on the backend is anyone’s guess, but they’re selling something that they could be held legally accountable for.
It’s more like a whole series of legal covers for everyone involved up and down the chain if things go sideways.
The problem is that most of us have swallowed the ‘competence uber alles’ ideal that school fed us through exams and scoring, when the game really is mostly politics (as in interpersonal relationships). So we are understandably disappointed when the incompetent get promoted through brown nosing or luck, when we should be reevaluating the rules of the game.
It’s art (that makes you horny)
No worries.
For those who were wondering:
On the security updates:
Yes they’ll provide some security updates for some time even out of contract. No time frame given, only in relative release numbers:
Our naming convention for releases is: <major>.<minor>.<patch>.
Version -2 of currently released minor version goes EOL. The cadence is not explicitly provided
On not renewing or renewing later:
Yes, jump in any time.
Can I update every second or third year? Will the previous versions receive security updates?
Sorry, I must have been too tired, got nearly all details wrong: 32GB RAM 1TB M.2, USB3.2, BT4.2,WiFi 5,4k HDMI, Gigabit Port, and not a Beelink but a DreamQuest. There’s just the M2 interface disk connected, no SSD.
It’s literally one of those little known brand nuc, tiny box - beelink I think. Total cost $200 or so - it’s been running non stop for the last 3 months without an issue. I don’t think it even has a fan in there.
I’m running a n100 16gb with a 256ssd, 4vms and 4 docker images, it’s pulling 7-9w.
Only if you let them
Have you heard of virtual debit cards? You can’t charge what’s not there.
Also, at least AWS will in fact send you an email when you approach the end of free tour usage.
Having said all that, most devs can host the few hundred visits they might get over a month with a $200 home server and a free CloudFlare cache if they know what they’re doing.
I was an avid Reddit user but dropped it like a stone in the kerfuffle - it took a while but Lemmy has now replaced that 90%
I’d love to see a content propagation analysis.
My sense is that a ton of new memes are first shared on Lemmy then shared across to other social media.
…Ok, so the niche forums don’t have critical mass yet, and you’d have to post to some general thread to get any response - but all the cool and thoughtful people are here, so the level of general discourse is higher, I love it.
I don’t mind Ubuntu server, though you’re right you need to clean it up a bit by uninstalling snap and killing the login ad of managed k8s, the LTS versions have been quite consistently easy to deal with and stable, but then again so has Debian.
