My opinion that language have changed, but people who use it are mostly same. Anyone who starting working in WebDev now will not use PHP, it is no longer a good tool. Like perl, it is still around, lots of software depends on it. But hardly any new stuff will be written on it. And it is programmers who define quality of the code, if you learn to code on language which promote bad practice it is really hard to change.

you do not need windows VM to game these days. Steam done fantastic work with proton, Majority of games are just works, some don’t but not like we have shortage of games these days. CAD is different story.

Their prices are ridicules if you add cost of outbound traffic.

Language where use of uninitialized variable is warning ( not a core dump) should not be used. IT mostly in the past for modern PHP, but bad programmers habits remains. I have seen so horribly written PHP project, so i prefer to stay away.

If your music come in form of files, use syncthing. Fast simple, cross platform.

Heh, I did about same but on FreeBDS. Plus proxy server to share dialup connection around home.

Call me crazy, but I’m using jellyfin + beet for backend. Native Jellyfin client on PC and Sympfonium on mobile. Works for me. But my library is small less than 50k tracks.

you need to be organised with beet. Import your music one album after an other. use “-t” to be sure that beet is guessing albums correctly. It is lot of work, but once it done it is smooth sailing.

Not realty helpful but SLAAC was working fine on pure Debian at least back to buster. Sorry, do not have that machine around anymore.

Fail to see benefits of going BD. Just run some spare cores will be cheaper and more straightforward.

Or just call a guy to do splicing. It is no longer elite job ( at least in AU). They not charge more than electrician these days.

You can use gitlab. Big and feature rich. or gitea - small neat and have all important features. With gitea add something like “woodpeaker” for CI

Just add power cost to run it. Old thing become way more expensive if you add power cost over it life.

What are you doing to get spam? Somehow simple RBL check + pipelining block most of it for me.

Do you own IPv4 address space as individual? I do not think it will happen in his era. Just pick ISP which provides internet services to businesses only (probably as colo), so you IP will not get listed as “residential” and start building up reputation. Secondary MX on cheap VPS is fine.

run it at work. I would say it bit too heavy and too much for home usage.

Yeh, It is big fault in ActivityPub design that IDs are linked to domain name. Should not be a case. Some UUID + public keys will make it way more flexible and resilient.

I work at a mid-size ISP. Abuse emails are getting looking at. However, please include relevant details in your messages. Many emails simply say “stop what you’re doing” without any specifics, even attack source IP.
