I’m starting to come around to big corps running their custom enhanced versions while feeding their open source counterparts with the last gen weights. As much as I love open source, people need to eat.
As was mentioned, if they start doing something egregious, they’re not the only game in town, and can also be forked. Love it or hate it, a big corp sponsor makes Joe six-pack feel a little more secure in using a product.
I don’t think it should be championed while legal though. I’ve seen two delusional breaks correspond to heavy usage. It also doesn’t help your IQ.
Legal sure, but careful please. Make sure you know why you’re using the drug. The withdrawals, while not as bad as Alcohol (which can be fatal), are real and difficult. Cannabis abuse is also a real disorder.
How is he confusing the two? We selectively breed dogs for traits and do not allow their offspring to procreate. I’m sure there are puppy mills that kill the “undesirables” too. I don’t think OP is conflating anything.
You don’t need to delve into networking too heavily at first. I recommend ProxMox as the most beginner friendly platform. It’s open source and based on Debian 12 underneath. That means that updates won’t hit you until they’ve been run in the wild for a while. This is what you want for a server.
It has a free backup server you can use to take automatic backups, and it can run virtual machines, lxc containers, and docker can be installed on an lxc or vm and you’re golden. If you install docker bare metal you limit yourself to docker.
The new SDN functionality also lets you make self-contained networks that isolate your vms. Couple with this opnsense eventually, and you can make a nice public setup and not worry too much about east west security.
The interesting thing about the web is the push to WASM. You don’t need to use JavaScript anymore. You can prep normal Java/Python/Rust to run on the WASM base with no JS.
Look into Rust if you haven’t. A lot of focus is pushing it for web apps. If you use it like a dumb Java at first it’s not difficult to start up. It’s also very marketable due to the security and concurrency problems rust gets closer to solving.
I’m running this way on one of my servers. It’s fine if you pass the entire HBA over (make sure it’s in IT mode for Proxmox).
Alternatively you can map each drive over by disk-by-id mappings as I’m doing on this one. I haven’t dealt with a drive failure yet, but from what I read it’s just a little bit of a headache to re-add the drives later. “Not recommended”, but ok if you know what you’re doing.
I lost interest when life became more interesting. I earn a decent living now, but the games I play are around tech and society.
Feels less like I’m throwing my time away.
Take it further. Convert all of your data into forward or simple formats. Don’t encode your images as gif, keep them raw. Store word docs as markdown. Don’t use proprietary formats (duh).
Linux will be around for a long time, which is convenient. Everything is a file, that counts, right?
Also be thankful for VMs and the push towards distroless containers.
The issue is the blurry interface between client and server in today’s “web”. I can create a local html file with js running applications, but the second it wants to do anything like run a server, big bad protocol blocks.
It’s almost like these big web companies use security as a guise for ensuring they hold your data.
You’re getting downvoted, but the only way a business buys frameworks is if they’re running a pilot program. They are just not proven in that environment yet.
For a dev going to a coffee shop.. sure. It’s your work laptop.
This right here. Disney and Nintendo get no more of my hard earned $$$. These companies create iconic products and they get paid for it. All of the DRM anti-consumer over-reach is where I draw the line though.
