    As long as you’re not relying on RAID as your backup. Don’t know why so many people struggle with understanding, RAID is not a backup. It’s a solution to ensure uptime in the face of a lost disk. I would guess most selfhosters shouldn’t be concerned with uptime. Use Borg or restic. Or if you are going to use zfs or btrfs then have a completely separate drive or pool where snapshots are stored.




  • Again, you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. Tools have improved significantly. I’ve been in the trades for a long time, I started at 14 years old working for my step dad remodeling houses and doing roofing and plumbing and electrical over 25 years ago. I know what tools were like back then, and the tools we have today. And the tools and processes are night and day better today. Just stfu, you have no clue.

    The power tools today kill anything from 10 years ago in torque and speed and weight. Lmao… you think the brushed motors with nicad batteries were better than the brushless motor with lithium we have today? The cordess circ saws could barely make it through a 1/2" sheet of plywood 15 years ago and now tgey rip through it like a corded saw. Fucking please buddy. Ratchets and wrenches have significantly improved with less back drag and more teeth meaning less degree of swing. Wrenches with ratchet ends. All kinds of specialty tools that didn’t exist Processes in plumbing and electrical with pex and other types of clamp and crimp fittings have significantly improved. I can go on and on across multiple tools and processes. You are a moron.



  • I’ve been forced to use iOS for my work phone and it is absolute dog shit… it feels like Android from 10+ years ago. The lack of customization and dumbass work flows drive me crazy every day.

    So many screens in different apps. make you reach way to one corner or the other to go back a screen. In Android, back is one motion that can be done anywhere from any edge. And that behaves consistently across every app. In iOS some apps behave differently, even the same app with a different screen will handle the same gesture differently. It’s an absolute shit show.

    Want to open my app list, I just swipe up from anywhere on my screen. Want my notifications, swipe down from anywhere on my screen. In iOS I have to perfectly hit the top edge and slowly drag it down.

    There are plenty of other reasons.

    Access to the filesystem. Wtf! Lmao. I download a PDF and can’t just open it? I have to basically share it with the app, it’s so dumb.

    Split screening apps.

    Complete lack of customization. The launcher is ass.

    Horrible keyboard and the one I like, SwiftKey is completely neutered and lacks the customization of Android. And some apps will use the apple keyboard even though I changed it to use Swiftkey. Again, no consistency.

    Messages will pop a notification then when I open the messenger app they are not there. I can read the message in the notification area, but there is a period of time that it doesn’t display in the actual app. Lmao. Dog shit.

    Many, many other things.

    Apps and services dying to backgrounding like the hotspot for one will just stop working after a certain amount of time.

    Want to know how I change my brightness in Android? I just slide across the status bar in any app on any screen.

    When I want to turn my flashlight on, all I do is hold my power button down for 3 seconds. Don’t have to turn my screen on and click anything.

    So many things. The settings in iOS are also a joke and the way they are organized, I just hate everything about it. It feels like I’m running Android from 2010 with less customization.

    Basically iOS is complete ass.





  • Wtf at y’all talking about, it’s usually way faster to do these things in terminal. I guarantee I can restart a docker container faster with a terminal then you can with a browser.

    Alt+enter brings up a terminal, then I type literally “ssh server” and I’m ssh’d into the box. ‘sudo docker restart containername’ and the password and I’m done before Firefox even loads for your dumbass and I didn’t even have to lift my hands from the keyboard. And for common and repeatable tasks there are these things called aliases and the ability to chain commands. I can condense all of that to a single command. Lmao. GUI plebs are so annoying with their ignorance
