OP, I just wanted to say thank you for writing such a good title. It's rare to get such an informative, clickbait-free title these days.

Every once in a while, a post from a service employee would surface on r/popular on Reddit, and you'd get a glimpse of how they really feel about tips and people who tip badly or don't tip. They absolutely will retaliate against people they know don't tip up to their expectations, but they will never share their expectations with their customers.

Granted, this is a slice of the total population of service workers who are complaining on a public forum. Still, would you risk your hair, or your food, or your time to someone who decides you're not keeping up your end of the social contract? Not me! If I go to a place regularly, I tip even if the service is bad, because I won't take the chance of being retaliated against.

It sucks.

I've been known to skip visiting a doctor after a bad injury. But I will not skip going to the dentist once a toothache starts setting in. If I'm doing things right, archaeologists will find a perfect set of teeth among a pile of dust when they dig up my remains. I do not want to be subjected to even the slightest dental issue!

That looks really good. Which dashboard software is it?

I do a few things to keep track of my installed services.

1. I run an instance of Heimdall, which is an utterly simple launcher. All of my services with administration panels get added here.
2. I maintain an excel sheet with all of my assigned IPs. It doesn't matter if it's a VM, a container, an iPhone, or some other hardware device. Everything is assigned a static IP and added to the excel list.
3. When I'm creating containers and VMs in Proxmox, I make sure that the proxmox ID of the container or VM is the same as the final octet of the IPV4 IP address. So if my Heimdall service is set up on 192.168.1.155, then the Heimdall LXC gets ID 155. I do this so that I can quickly look up the IP of any service in Proxmox without having to open my spreadsheet.

If you follow this convention, then you could easily export the IDs of all of your proxmox containers and VMs by following the instructions here. Make a few transformations to turn the IDs into IP addresses, and you have a .csv you could import elsewhere.

I'm sure someone has made a tool to do this already somewhere. On Github, xezpeleta made an inventory script "to grab proxmox nodes. This will also try to grab the IP if you have the guest agent installed." I bet there are others out there.

Same here. For me it was the realization that what I thought was appropriate tipping -- 15% -- was actually an insult to servers. Thanks to the internet, I saw how servers retaliate against what they think is a bad tipper. I realized that proper tipping is subjective, and there was no way to be sure I wouldn't be punished for something I did wrong unknowingly. So rather than risk it, I just decided to learn how to live without eating out.

So this is a good idea in principle, but there are a lot of sites that don't follow the "lemmy.tld" format. I checked the list of instances connected to our site, lemmy.ninja. We've been up for a few days, so we've accumulated a lot of instances by now. Following the Lemmy.* format gave me 285 out of 585 of our current instances. So just under 50%.
