Those people aren’t great at thinking things through. They’re “idea people”.

No it shouldn’t.
Well considering I’ve been using it for 25 years and it literally has had its own Wikipedia page since basically Wikipedia existed… no. It’s not a buzzword. It’s just a term used to describe an idea.
Why? This sounds like FUD.
Yes. Containers are awesome in that they let you use an application inside a sandbox, but beyond that you can deploy it anywhere.
If you’re in the sysadmin world you should not only embrace Docker but I’d recommend learning k8s, too, if you still enjoy those things.
For anyone doing this, set up your spending and budget alerts and actions. It’s possible to accidentally fuck something up and end up with an aws bill that’ll suck, but this will give you some measure of protection from that in case you accidentally misconfigure something.
Yeah my server is an i5 using an onboard GPU so it’s nothing crazy but it’s got 80TB of drive space, so I optimize for what I put my money into.
Hell, sometimes it’s even easier to copy the data to my gaming rig, transcode it, and rsync it back. If I’m done playing for the night and about to go to bed and I have like a TV show or something I know has to be transcoded, I’ll just queue up a job and let it run while I’m sleeping and script it so it rsyncs everything back when it’s done transcoding.
Admittedly the server on which it’s running is pretty beefy and I don’t let it transcode. I’ve got enough disk space that if something spends time transcoding I just optimize it to a new version of the file.
By bandwidth I was speaking in terms of network only, but if you were to run it on a simple server that didn’t do any transcoding it might be ok.
If I’m just using them as a glorified small Linux box it could work pretty well. If you’re going to host services that don’t require a ton of bandwidth you don’t need a hard line or anything. Hell my Plex server is using WiFi (802.11ax but still) and it delivers 4K just fine.
90% of the time the bumper to bumper traffic only exists because some fuck taps their breaks every 15 seconds
It’s really not. If you’re driving the speed limit in the left lane when you could practically be in any other lane you’re an asshole. What you’re doing is legal, but you’re still a dick.
And if everyone wasn’t so fucking slow it could just be the passing lane.
Statistically speaking the average human has less than one nut.
Some sick fuck out there kept the files
If it reaches a certain critical mass. These things always have a tech bias at the beginning because it’s the nerds who invent them.
2Gbps symmetric fiber, $70/month, flyover state. Could go up to 5Gbps for another like $20. No data caps. I may never move again.
I can’t edit Word documents for shit lol. I edit everything using Markdown (the same formatting used here) because I don’t have to think about it.
That said every job can get stressful now and again, and this line of work is no different, but most days it’s just work. Make this change, make this thing do something else, kill this thing that’s costing money and everyone stopped using last year without telling anyone, etc. Typical things.
Computers communicate across networks using ports. Port 22 is a commonly used remote administration port called ssh. Bots go around probing computers with an open port 22 hoping to find badly secured or outside misconfigured ssh servers to turn them into bots and crypto miners, etc.
Your own Lemmy instance.
The solution to this is to start your own instance and federate the other instances that you want to make sure you can always reach. This is a solved problem, really.
