The thing Synology does which no competitor is yet doing is rock-solid stability.

I have a 10 year old Synology running as well as it did the day I bought it, and I’ve never needed to troubleshoot a single issue on it.

Until a competitor can match that I will still be buying Synology, with the increased drive price the cost I pay for that stability.

I think people underestimate the value of that.

There are a lot of backend processes for those sites which need a server, so that wouldn’t work, but thank you regardless.

If you’re doing static sites, then traffic shouldn’t be a concern.

I host two sites that each get more than 2 million hits a month, and I run them from a $0.10 cent Scaleway server.

Cloudflare in front of the sites takes most of the load.

How can you be sure that the “random” products aren’t something that you’ve seen ads on (but not remembered seeing), which stuck in your subconscious, and then you regurgitated as the random item? Then later when you saw more of the same ads, you noticed them and they seemed like new, targeted ads.

You would need to use a random topic generator, not just come up with them via brain.

As someone posted above, someone obtaining access to your encrypted data might lead to an issue in the future:

I believe the question was: “Pathetic in what way?”

Please enlighten us.

It’s a PWA, just install the site on your phone as a native app. I’ve been using it for about a year.

Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

Not according to that thread - it looks like they don’t yet know what caused it:

No any details from GitHub yet. One contributor mentioned a temporary visit to disputed areas a long time ago — GitHub probably just flagged the account, and their bots messed up after that.

I’m just glad a world leader is finally coming right out and saying it.

We will need to dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States. We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere. And we will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen in generations.

This is some concrete and serious talk.

Scaleway is awesome using Open WebUI or directly through their own site:

It’s just Fedora CoreOS with some small quality-of-life packages added to the build.

There’s tons of documentation for CoreOS and it’s been around for more than a decade.

If you’re running a container workload, it can’t be beat in my opinion. All the security and configuration issues are handled for you, which is especially ideal for a home user who is generally not a security expert.

It’s just Fedora CoreOS with some QoL packages added at build time. Not niche at all. The very minor changes made are all transparent on GitHub.

Choose CoreOS if you prefer, it’s equally zero maintenance.

🤷 I’ve been running Aurora and uCore for over a year and have yet to do any maintenance.

You can roll back to the previous working build by simply restarting, it’s pretty much the easiest fix ever and still zero maintenance (since you didn’t have to reconfigure or troubleshoot anything, just restart).

They won’t apply unexpectedly, so you can reboot at a time that suits. Unless there’s a specific security risk there’s no need to apply them frequently. Total downtime is the length of a restart, which is also nice and easy.

It won’t fit every use-case, but if you’re looking for a zero-maintenance containerized-workload option, it can’t be beat.

Come on. Any “buy it for life” product will fall in that category. Safety razor for example.

Desktop:

• Aurora, Bluefin, or Bazzite

Server:

• uCore

Zero maintenance for any of them. Not just low maintenance, but zero.

It’s the kind of thing I host so that no matter what device I’m sitting in front of, I can easily pull it up. Hence a server is needed. I’m not talking about just my own laptop or phone, I mean any shared or borrowed device.

I find it so useful I pull it up almost every workday.
