I just aim for “good enough”. Does it work, does it meet my needs? That’s good enough, even if it isn’t exactly the right way.

Like right now I have a system that needs manual intervention if I shut it down, or it’ll come back up non-functional. But it works well enough so I’ll just fix that eventually. I like to spend my free time doing more social or productive stuff.

I think a self-hosted platform as a service is just called a platform

If you want the next level up, set up a log collector like graylog or something.

Nothing is truly safe. Risk is relative. Assess the risk and decide for yourself.

Some do, but that means you’re locked in to whoever the landlord chooses for the ISP, and you can’t call the ISP for support if you have issues.

Why not a municipal service?

It’s open source, so you could always just patch it without paying too. But you should support the maintainers if you think they deserve it.

Mount points instead of drives

Is it a software fix? Or are they adding shielding around the flight control system or something?

I have automatic updates through a watchtower fork, so I just leave it alone until it breaks, then I go to the project site to see what changed. This has happened maybe twice in the last couple years.

Did you use any engine or framework for this, or built it from pure code and gl libs?

If both drives exhibit the behavior, I’d suspect the drive controller.

I mean, if you’ve got spares, load one up and find out.

Okay then you don’t want to organize them, you want an interface. Chuck all the pictures in a folder, and use something like darktable to review and edit them, you can search by tag, filter by metadata, all that fun stuff.

It runs software that’s significantly cheaper–like tens of thousands of dollars a year–for a desktop licence, but it needs a whole bunch of hardware resources. I assure you, it’s justified.

windows 11 doesnt support server at all

It doesn’t? I have several servers at work running desktop 11.

Organize how, exactly?

Solution to what, exactly? Like the other people in this post, I also use KDE on Debian and Nvidia with zero issue.

Hard drives don’t normally make a clicking noise unless it’s the head resetting due to an error. I’d definitely check the health of that drive, and make sure your backups are working.

That’s the neat part, I don’t!

I have a docker-compose file, which is somewhat self-documenting, especially since I give everything descriptive names. Creds go in bitwarden anyway.

But then, my environment isn’t that complex, and I don’t have anything so custom that I need notes to replicate it.
