  • For me, I’m Team Proxmox. It’s just easy to spin up containers for pretty much anything I need. No need for the resource overhead of a full-on virtual machine if I simply need to run a LAMP app. Anything you really have an issue transitioning from Docker to LXC can still be run inside a container with Docker installed. And if you need to set up a VM for Windows or pfSense or some other OS for whatever reason, it’s insanely easy to do.



  • The self-driving cab, however, didn’t get dinged like you or us. Since there was no one operating the vehicle, the cops couldn’t issue a citation. But they did reach out to Waymo’s parent company Google to let them know about the glitch.

    “Our citation books don’t have a box for ‘robot,'” the department said.

    It frustrates me that Google doesn’t get a citation for this. It’s just another example of how laws don’t apply to the people pulling all the strings. They need to be just as accountable as anyone else, even if it’s robots doing the driving. Whoever is ultimately responsible for the unacceptable behavior needs to be held accountable, or they’ll learn they can keep doing unacceptable shit in new and creative ways without any real legal or financial risk for engaging in the bad behavior. If corporations are people, and corporate robots are doing things people get in trouble with the cops for, corporations need to be in trouble with the cops and the courts and feel the same heat.











  • Ultimately up to you, but I’d go with no GUI and just use ssh (and sftp if you need to do file transfers).

    When I was using Docker, it was headless because the GUI just ate up space and resources I didn’t need. All your interaction will be in the shell anyway, launching your compose.yml files.

    But, if dealing with a headless machine sounds like more trouble than you want to try, install the DE if your choice and breathe easy because it’ll still work perfectly fine.


  • I think you’ve put more thought into how to get started than many others would! You have a pretty good plan from what it seems. My thoughts from each section below.

    Hardware: I’m partial to Crucial and Kingston for storage that is affordable and dependable

    OS: I’d probably spin up a Debian install if I were in your shoes and run my services using docker-compose files. It’s a quick and easy to get up and running, and despite the ease, there is still the option to do a lot of customization when you want to, and that will make it easy to learn more at your own pace and leisure.

    Services: For the CalDav portion, I’m really liking Radicale.

    Security: PiVPN is what I’m running on my actual RPi along with PiHole, and it was a super simple setup. I connect via Wireguard from any of my other devices.


  • If they are one people, then all of Russia is also Ukraine. And I happen to think Zelenskyy is a more legitimate leader.

    I wonder if there’s a localized zone where there is some sort of really great density of people who consider themselves Ukrainians. And I wonder if there exists some distinguishable boundary between them - culturally, societally, dare I say politically - where on one side an individual would expect to encounter a Ukrainian, versus on the other side, where they would more probably expect to encounter a non-Ukrainian?

    Edit: Maybe an edge? A ridge? Something that describes a clearly defined boundary between two distinct areas that are closely related in many regards while also being clearly distinguishable based on the split that defines the division between said areas…

    Edit again: I swear it’s on the tip of my tongue. So frustrating. A line, maybe? That seems closer, but not quite there.
