It’s worth it.
It’s worth it.
I think so. This is my first time being medicated as an adult, and I’ve had the same experience as OP. I have a new ability to focus but still need to learn how to use it like everyone else.
I’m not sure, but you could probably revive it or build your own. All it really takes is a few active users to start a new community. I’m looking for a new project and wouldn’t mind helping you get this or another community off the ground.
Here are a couple of posts I found when looking for more information on the current state of Lemmy AMAs. They show community sentiment and past attempts to get started.
I believe this is it
Perfection
Media server: Jellyfin, qBittorrent, Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr/Prowlarr, and OpenVPN/Traefik/WireGuard
Misc: PiHole, Vaultwarden, HashiCorp Vault, and FreeIPA
VMware ESXi for the VMs, but I’ll be switching to Proxmox soon.
All running in Docker or Podman containers on their own VMs. I’m trying to automate the deployment and configuration of each of these services via pipelines in GitLab CI using Ansible and Terraform right now. I also have a couple of Kubernetes clusters for testing and dev stuff on this server.
Accessed via SSH or an NGINX reverse proxy. I’m using certificates where possible, but a lot of the traffic between VMs is still unencrypted. I’ll eventually force everything local to use Traefik, but for now, only a few services are using it.
There are a lot of projects on awesome-selfhosted and selfhosted that I’ve been meaning to get around to installing. Home Assistant and AdGuard Home are two of them.
OpenStack has a really good Ansible hardening project for securing servers that I try to always use. I also have a Red Hat developer license, so I try to use their OS when possible because of their FIPS and other security profiles. Some services just don’t work with any of the newer RHEL versions though, and I usually fall back to CentOS Stream or Ubuntu whenever that happens.
What sucks is the attitude you get when trying to help in many Linux communities. It’s a tool, and a very useful one too.
If you knew what you were doing, you could understand the loop just by looking at it, without having to run it, ngl.
I didn’t run it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an invalid option in it somewhere. Ansible Lightspeed would be a better tool than what I used, but it’s sufficient to get the point across.
I use AI for grammar correction or to help put a thought into words sometimes. Needs some more work to sound natural though.
To effectively manage and stagger automated upgrades across multiple groups of Ubuntu servers, scheduling upgrades on specific days for different server groups offers a structured and reliable method. This approach ensures that upgrades are rolled out in a controlled manner, reducing the risk of potential disruptions.
Here’s an example Ansible playbook that illustrates how to set this up. It installs unattended-upgrades
and configures systemd timers
to manage upgrades on specific weekdays for three distinct groups of servers.
