My server is a DiskStation, so I use HyperBackup to do an encrypted backup of the important data to their Synology C2 service every night.
The thing is, people might not know that they have to look for the Docker setup. Now if they search for “Lemmy on Synology NAS” they land on this guide, telling them to use Docker.
You can update a standard release distribution just fine, no need to reinstall anything. It does basically the same thing as a rolling release, just not as often and more packages at once.
What does the release cadence have to do with that?
Same. Having all their custom software available and just one click away is amazing, and with Docker you can install everything else just like a regular server. It’s the best of both worlds imo.
If you don’t have any restrictions (limited subdomains, service only works on the server root etc.) then it’s really just a personal preference. I usually try paths first, and switch to subdomains if that doesn’t work.
RHEL is not Fedora. It’s still lead by a community council, even if you don’t agree with some of their decisions.
In case of your first link it wasn’t even about making a decision. The project has always had the clear stance to not include patented works, so there were no two ways about it.
