THIS IS A RED CUBE HOUSEHOLD

We're supposed to be better than them. Countering their misinfo networks by creating our own misinfo networks isn't being better than them.

Greyzone is an op. We need another source.

Never trust corporations. If you're not profitable, they will abandon you. Only trust community-driven projects with a true open source commitment.

Proxmox is completely different from Docker. Proxmox is focused on VMs, and to a lesser extent LXC containers. If you think you will have a need to run VMs (for example, a Windows VM for a game server that doesn't support Linux) Proxmox is great for that.

I run Docker on a dedicated VM inside Proxmox, and then I spin up other specialized VMs on the same system when needed. The Docker VM only does Docker and nothing else at all.

Never ask ChatGPT to write code that you plan to actually use, and never take it as a source of truth. I use it to put me on a possible right path when I'm totally lost and lack the vocabulary to accurately describe what I need. Sometimes I'll ask it for an example of how sometimes works so that I can learn it myself. It's an incredibly useful tool, but you're out of your damn mind if you're just regularly copying code it spits out. You need to error check everything it does, and if you don't know the syntax well enough to write it yourself, how the hell do you plan to reliably error check it?

These are scripts that manage stuff on a few hundred user endpoints and a few servers. They were doing basically everything manually until I got here, and the only way I could get them on board with my slow introduction of automation is to let them see it. I have to ensure things don't get too long, complex, or hard to explain, or they start getting nervous.

I write a lot of fairly simple scripts in Bash and PowerShell that should be easily understood by anybody else with moderate experience in the language, but I leave a lot of obvious comments because my coworkers don't write any code and are extremely skittish about my automations. I add them basically to quell their fears.

Arch very rarely breaks on its own. But if the manually driven style of Arch is not what you're looking for, try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or Slowroll.

That's a fair point, I was definitely thinking about it from the American Cryptofash angle. However, that would still ultimately be a left-right divide, it just means the divide is better seen through a different distinction, whatever that ends up being.

It's not creepy to ask a follow-up about information they volunteered in the first place.
