Linux users would post their problems on various forums, but very rarely post their success story. Linux desktop is actually pretty good at this point. Just pick a distro and try it yourself.

I also moved to Debian after years of using Ubuntu Server LTS. No problem so far on those servers for container workloads, the small ones run docker compose, the medium ones run k3s, and a small cluster runs rke2.

Well, I'm actually self-hosting an email server with mailcow for one of my projects and it's been pretty smooth, with minimal maintenance. Just running some upgrade command every once in a while to upgrade the docker container, and attaching a bigger disk when the old one was almost full. The biggest blocker was asking my VPS vendor to open up the port as they'll only open it for customers older than 6 months.

Most of the problems encountered by those people you mentioned are probably because they're running it for other people. You can't control what other people send so you'll eventually get blocklisted when one of your users starts sending spam because their account was hacked.

The new font smoothing is not the same with the subpixel anti aliasing it replaced. Thin text on non-retina monitors looks worse now than before. Most people probably don't notice it, but for those that do it was a major downgrade.

For some reason google won't implement user-defined site blocklist, even though some other search engines have that feature. You'll have to add -site:website_name manually every time you search.

"Dear voters, we worry about your safety! You do not have to go anywhere to vote - we will come to your home with ballots and boxes!" the Russia-installed electoral commission in the Zaporizhzhia region said on social media.

It's interesting that the ballot box travels to voter homes. In most countries, the ballot box stay in one location and watched by multiple independent witness to make sure there is no tampering.

Self-hosting a mail server is pretty straightforward to setup using stuff like mailcow these days. The main issues are having the ports opened, and getting the big email providers to accept mails from your server. It's usually pretty smooth assuming you have an ip address with a good reputation.

If the stock photos are sold in a stock photo sites that don't allow computer-generated or edited photos, then yes, they're most likely real.

We're going to need more details. Are you hosting your own email server, or are you using a transactional mail provider like mailgun?

I guess that's not really possible at the moment because kagi sources their data from other providers where each one of them charges by usage. They're banking on their users to not search as much so they can be profitable, which means they're incentivized to make their search result good so their users won't repeatedly search same topics over and over.

Bluesky finally allows the community to run their own labeller services. This blog post summarize how bluesky federation system works and how the labeler service fit in.

Banana Pi, Orange Pi, etc really took off a few years ago when raspberry pi got harder to find and was marked up like crazy. Even now it's still more cost effective to buy the clones, and they've expanded their sbc offering to include features not available on the original pi.

It's no different than running the app directly, performance wise. It does use more disk storage because the docker image is packaged with everything it needs to run instead of relying on your OS libraries.

The never ending network problems keep sysadmins happily employed. AI can't replace them yet because they need internet connection to work.

HomeAssistant and PiHole are the gateway drugs to selfhosting.

Now that ipv4 address price reached $60 a pop, those represent a whopping $60 x 16777216 = $1,006,632,960.

"32 bit is ought to be enough for everybody"

Yeah, most file managers don't have "copy to" feature. But, some file managers allow opening multiple panes so copy-paste operation is not as painful when you need to collect a lot of files from different locations in your phone.

Google execs knew this motto will just get in the way of maximizing profits for shareholders, so they dropped it a few years ago.
