I can upload files outside of the docroot, but if they stay there for too long, I get a nasty email from Dreamhost reminding me that this is for web space and not offsite storage (something they also sell). I haven't tried uploading something inside the docroot and just setting permissions to 400 or something!
I haven't played w/ memory limits, but when I tried messing w/ buld download of raw TIF files, it ran out of memory pretty quick. I may look into what I can to about the limits, though.
Same. I have a mediawiki install on the shared hosting still, but I haven't updated it in forever. For the $10.99/month I'm paying for shared hosting, I could save a little and do a more powerful VPS to host similiar stuff... Of just keep doing what I'm doing w/ my S12 pro & Synology. Might look at some kind of failover down the road.
Fair point. Currently, everything that requires off-site backup is sent to my father's Synology using hyperbackup. So off-site is sorta self-hosted already. Was thinking in terms of a second fallback option.
At the ends of the day, it’s about what you’re comfortable working on. My daily driver is a MacBook Pro. I have a BeeLink S12 Pro that runs most of my self hosted stuff, and a Synology that runs a couple things. I also have an HP Z440 as a test bed box (powered off unless I’m working on something). I’m comfortable working with Linux and power draw was important for me in setting up my always-on server (my power bill is already high).
The only minor concern I would have with a mini is you’re limiting your support base. This isn’t to say there’s no support, there’s just less. Most self hosted are using something like a unraid, a beelink, or an old micro Dell/HP/Lenovo. Because of that, there’s a ton of stuff out there about getting various services running on these setups. The M-based mini environment is going to be a little more unique.
Generally, I agree with this. Not quite w/ regards to Nike and some other brands, (most of Nike's competitors, Apple) , since they put the logo on everything as part of their design asthetic. Whether you like that or not is personal choice, of course. Personally, I miss the old colorful Apple logo.
With luxury brands, yeah it's a blatant cash grab extracting money from poorer people by selling them the mirage of owning something luxurious. The stuff you buy at the mall isn't sold at their Rodeo Drive location! That said, some luxury brands do qualify for "buy it for life" status, though having the kind of quality isn't exclusive to luxury brands (see also: Zippo lighters, and many many other solid, reasonably priced brands).
This right here is the answer. Everyone can go home now.
Seriously, it’s not the low taxes, though those are appreciated, it’s the prospect of more market share which equals more wealth and, most importantly, power. During the housing crisis we had banks that were deemed “too big to fail.” For the next one, a handful of super-wealthy assholes will receive the same designation.
Honestly, I’ve been using GVoice for a long time as a replacement for my land line. It doesn’t even ring anywhere. It’s the number we give for things like gas rewards and such. It’s been great. I’m actually amazed Google hasn’t killed or enshitified it yet.
I have to use it for work, and I hate how links to other apps, say a Teams meeting, dot open up the app. Rather, they open a new tab in a browser, only to open the app while leaving a blank open tab in the background. It’s just sloppy as hell.
Y’all are forgetting that this whole thing is graded on a sliding scale. If Harris did 1 of the crazy things Trump does every damn day, this wouldn’t even be a close race. So yeah, Trump gets a pass for calling American citizens “trash,” but Harris would be torched for anything remotely similar.
Exactly my thoughts. True though it may be, denigrate the leader, not his followers. Kamala didn’t fall for that obvious trap in her Fox interview, and now Biden’s made up for that. You never call voters stupid. Especially when they very much are.
Not defending the guy, but he has not at all been out of work. He just hasn’t been in movie theaters nationwide. He’s been in plenty of stuff recently. John Oliver even mentioned how crazy it’s been that he’s been so busy despite all the racist and antisemitic rants he’s had.
I wouldn’t put it past him, but at this point if such a thing surfaced his fans would just claim it was a deep fake. For it to work, it would have to be broadcast and lib in front of an audience. Even then, the cognitive dissonance might be too strong for many to overcome.
Until he is literally caught, on film, live, in the act having sex with a child, there’s no such thing as a PR disaster for this guy. Even then, millions will still vote for him.
Will people please stop calling Twitter a fucking news source!? At best it’s a news aggregator, and even that’s a stretch. It does not create news content that isn’t about itself. It is not, and has never been a news organization.
ETA: just because a disturbing number of people think what they get from twitter (or Meta, Google, Insta, TikTok, etc.) is news doesn’t make it so. It’s like saying creationism is science because someone added “theory of” to the name.
Virginia Beach isn’t too far from DC. About 15-minutes according to most movies (in reality it’s more like 3-hours… if you speed and don’t hit any traffic).
