Windows: “We dropped support for that thing you bought brand new 5 years ago”

Linux: “We are considering dropping support for something that has existed for longer than you had”

It doesn’t make a lot of sense for LetsEncrypt to spend time adding support for such certs, since both a domain name and a cert from another CA are cheaper than buying an IPv4 block

certificates can only be obtained for domain names

That is not true, nothing prevents it on the technical side, and even some trusted CAs sell them under certain conditions

I switched from GNOME 3 a long time ago, and emulating GNOME’s workflow would be the last thing I would want

The file looks fine on my computer

You gotta be a software engineer 😂

those who do not want to pay for the time, effort and resources going into RHEL

Standard RHEL server subscription costs 800$/year, a ridiculous price for an individual to pay (yeah I know it’s called Enterprise Linux, but still)

those who want to repackage it for their own profit

Funny considering that AlmaLinux OS Foundation is a non-profit

The developer subscription provides no-cost RHEL to developers and enables usage for up to 16 systems, again, at no-cost

Until RedHat decides to pull the rug, just like it already did with CentOS

Also:

The first thing to understand is that you cannot renew your no-cost Red Hat Developer Subscription for individuals after the first year. Unlike a paid subscription, the no-cost edition for developers is limited to one year.

So, what’s a developer to do? Fortunately, that’s easy: You can just register again. Yes, it’s that simple. Once your developer subscription expires, simply re-register and get a new, no-cost subscription. Note that you must wait until your current subscription expires before you can renew it.

Simply rebuilding code, without adding value or changing it in any way

Yeah, I think setting up build and distribution infrastructure is not adding any value

so they can’t bork their system

not tech savy people: you underestimate my power

• email - postfix, dovecot, roundcube (mostly unused), rspamd
• vpn - firezone for managing wireguard, v2ray
• web analytics - offen
• password manager - vaultwarden
• status monitor - uptime-kuma
• cloud - nextcloud
• music streaming - navidrome
• seedbox - qbittorrent with vuetorrent webui
• media streaming - jellyfin
• docker container registry
• firefox sync server
• lemmy instance

Their clunky and unpleasant Ui, but mainly this

A series of VPSes running AlmaLinux, I have a relatively big Ansible playbook to setup everything after the server goes online. The idea is that I can at any time scrape the server off, install an OS, put in all the persistent data (Docker volumes and /srv partition with all the heavy data), and run a playbok.

Docker Compose for services, last time I checked Podman, podman-compose didn’t work properly, and learning a new orchestration tool would take an unjustifiable amount of time.

I try to avoid shell scripts as much as possible because they are hard to write in such a way so that they handle all possible scenarios, they are difficult to debug, and they can make a mess when not done properly. Premade scripts are usually the big offenders here, and they are I nice way to leave you without a single clue how the stuff they set up works.

I don’t have a selfhosting addiction.

I would recommend Porkbun, been using it for almost 1.5 years after I had to migrate from Namecheap. Wouldn’t really recommend the latter

The check $LEMMY_HOSTNAME == http* will give a false positive if (for whatever reason) the domain name starts with http
