I mean I develop software on an 8GB laptop. Most of the time it’s fine, when I need more I have a desktop with 128GB ram available.

Really depends what type of software you’re making. If you’re using python a few TB might be required.

I get around this by simply not buying a Mac. Free’s up so much money for ram.

This is resource reservation, it happens at an OS level. If chrome is using what appears to be alot of ram, it will be freed up once either the OS or another application requires it.

It just exists so that an application knows that if it needs that resource it can use X amount for now.

This is just anecdotal, but as someone who both drives and cycles in the UK, I’d say it’s city dependent. I live in Leeds, go to uni in Leeds and work in Huddersfield. I cycle to uni, cycle to the train station and drive to work (when I can’t get a train for whatever reason). Leeds is getting there, albeit slowly but it’s getting alot better for cyclists. I like the electric bicycle scheme so I can cycle to the station and just leave the bike there. although it shouldn’t be more expensive than getting a bus.

I emailed Microsoft to get my domain removed from their blacklist and it worked within 48 hours. Aslong as my domain has it’s correct security settings I no longer go to spam. Gmail didn’t seem to care as much.

Out of that list I use OVHCloud. Their VPS are built on Epyc (atleast they are in London), which gives very high performance for a low price.

I’m not arguing with your parenting style or saying you’re doing it wrong etc etc, I agree with it in theory but I’d like to share my younger sisters story.

My mum decided she couldn’t have social media until she was “old enough” to protect her, this however caused her to end up getting a secret phone and create secret social media accounts. This eventually led to her being cyber bullied by students at her school who’s parents were less cautious. But because she was doing all of this secretly as her mum had said no to social media, she didn’t feel like she could get the support she needed. Fortunately she had an older brother who could help her, but I couldn’t go to the school for her as I’m not her guardian.

I personally after this would lean into the world of not necessarily supervised social media usage, but educating and cautioning what it means to post on social media. How it will never go away and when it’s there, it’s there forever.

My sister fully understands this now and is doing alot better, but ultimately the damage is done.

I fully understand the point of view of no social media until 18, I just want you to be aware of potential consequences of being strict on it.

Alright Mr snarky pants calm down, I was adding onto your comment not attacking it

But there’s no need to store them in what I assume to be plain text, this is negligence

In my opinion, the only acceptable way to eat most vegetables is roasted and seasoned. Frozen vegetables are easier to roast as they are part cooked before frozen.

If I go to a restaurant and I receive boiled vegetables I won’t go there again. Sick freaks.

Well kinda but not really, he owns around 4% of Reddit which is where the $193m comes from because of the $5b valuation.

Still, fuck spez

Imagine if steam sold movies and TV shows

That’s fine for someone willing to read documentation, the average user would rather read a forum post, which Ubuntu has a shit load of posts about using and fixing it.

To add to that, there’s so much “support” out there for Debian and by proxy Ubuntu. You can Google any error and you’ll find the fix. That’s what draws new people to them. Even my self even though I’m not new to the Linux ecosystem. Ubuntu makes a perfectly good and stable server operating system.

If you dump 8tb of data onto a 10tb SSD and only read from it, it will probably last just as long as a hard drive. SSD’s wear from lots of write operations, reading from them doesn’t really do much other than the cache will be damaged over time.

And they have Spotify DJ, which not everyone likes but I think it’s great, worth the £10 a month to me

Caddy makes it so you don’t have to understand reverse proxies to use them, the config is literally just "reverse_proxy " and then gives it a let’s encrypt SSL certificate. It’s beautiful for self hosting.

Additionally, using jottacloud with 2 VPS’s (one of them being built on epyc like from OVH cloud) can get you a really good download server and streaming server for about £30 a month, which is the same as having netflix and Disney plus, except now you can have anything you want.

I have a contabo 4core 8gb ram VPS that handles downloading content.

A OVH 4core 8gb VPS that handles emby (I keep trying to go back to jellyfin but it’s just slightly slower than emby at transcoding and I need to squeeze as much performance out of my VPS as possible so… Maybe one day jelly)

And I have a really good streaming experience with subtitles that don’t put big black boxes on the screen making 1/8th of the screen non viewable.

It’s just bots, they scan IP address and open ports looking for vulnerabilities. I remember my first experience with this putting my first game server online for a game I was making, thinking to my self “who the fuck are these people trying to connect to my game? How did they even have it”. It’s nothing to worry about unless you have lack of or poor authentication.
