Quality control manager in a fabrication shop. A lot of my job is waiting for machines to do their thing.

That’s precisely the intent behind the feature.

I have a discord DM to myself that I use.

Oh, posted this before I read the rest of your message lol. Nvm.

Drum N Bass

I’m not sure how much you’re willing to write off as “basically free”, but electricity does add up for running your own server.

Kinda related. My aunt, my father’s sister, was quite ill and the doctors were telling us it could be any moment that she passes on. That “any moment” ended up stretching into a week. My father was also quite ill for other reasons, and it was difficult to transport him. We finally arranged for him to be able to go visit his sister after this week of "any moment"s, and he got to hold her hand. Less than an hour later, she passed.

I would, but I live in a country that cares about IP laws.

By “enforceable,” I meant, “the reasonable legal means to follow up”.

As I understand it, cause of the country the creator is from, a C&D was unlikely to be enforceable. Money, on the other hand, is a universal language.

I’ve heard the former before, and the latter would become the modern “finna”.

I’d settle for not seeing “should/could/would of” typed out anymore.

I use google maps every day. Wouldn’t say it’s been getting worse.

FYI, it’s not easy or simple to move to another country and is, frankly, unrealistic for most people.

What advantages would this have over Obsidian, which is already all local unless you explicitly make it not so?

Unraid has been so simple for me. Really pleased with it.

I’m “techy”, but not in a tech career. By that I mean I’ve always been casually interested in tech, and enjoy building my own PCs, and am usually the one people come to for tech help, even if I just end up googling it for them haha.

Got into hosting through Home Assistant and Foundry VTT.

I haven’t been running it for too long, as I just started putting this together a few months ago and took a while to decide. No issues with downtime though. Updates have been super easy with Unraid so far.

My answer may not be quite as helpful for you, as you said you are a software dev and would probably pick up the more advanced options easier than me.

But for me, I was asking extremely similar questions to you a few months ago (still my only post on Lemmy, lol). I ended up trying unraid, proxmox, and truenas.

I went with unraid and have no regrets. It’s been super easy and I now have the all in one server box I’ve wanted for years.

The first half of what you said is the important bit, to me. He owed no one anything, and I just remember seeing some comments from people that couldn’t comprehend that. Entitlement is strong on the internet imho.

He had some health issues iirc, and frankly people got really pushy about a thing they don’t even pay for. I don’t blame him for stopping development.
