I think it’s a healthy part of the growth of the Fediverse. Maybe it ends up being a good idea, maybe not. Hopefully everyone can keep an open mind and learn some lessons along the way both with successes and failures. Let’s be real, if this is what kills the Fediverse then the Fediverse was doomed from the start.
This is all early days and I’m just enjoying the ride. It’s really just refreshing that it’s not some VC backed mega corp making these decision.
Running the hypervisors built in to unraid or truenas are certainly options but proxmox/VMware are just easier. If you’re learning about virtualization, you’re going to find a lot more resources for proxmox/VMware. Conversely the storage capabilities of proxmox/VMware are either severely limited in the case of VMware or just not particularly user friendly for proxmox. By virtualizing your storage OS you can get the best of both worlds for some situations. Sure, there are situations where it’s a bad idea but if you’ve only got one machine and it has plenty of resources it can be very effective.
Heck even if the main function for the NAS is just windows shares, that full blown storage OS is going to give you redundancy, snapshots, and replication. I’d say those are pretty important even for Windows shares.
Another vote for virtualized router! I keep set a core VMs on that host where uptime is the highest priority. I’ve upgraded RAM, downgraded CPU, and eventually switched to an entirely new host with 0 downtime over the past few months. I’d rather not have to wait until everyone else on the network is sleeping before doing any tinkering on the hardware. It’s pretty neat to be streaming some video and then live migrate the router to another physical host with 0 interruption.
“It’s time to enshitify.”
The one admirable thing about reddit leadership is how transparent they have been about the enshittification of their product. Usually companies will do some perfunctory song and dance about how great the changes are and how much users will love them. Reddit has been pretty clear that the changes will negatively effect users and that they are doing it for the money.
Chicharron bulaklak. It’s deep fried intestinal fat or something like that. Ok it doesn’t sound too appetizing but when it’s fresh it’s so nice and crispy and melts in your mouth. Dip it in the vinegar to balance the oiliness and the texture+flavor combination is just amazing. Your arteries will hate you, but that’s ok every now and then.
I think tripas used in tacos is typically from small intestine whereas the tripe in pho is from the stomach. That said, when done right the texture of both are quite unique and pretty damn awesome. Undercooked or overcooked tripas though… yikes!
Think of it as kindling for a fire. It’s not going to fuel the platform long term but it’s probably appealing to a lot of folks right now. Hopefully it will spur engagement which will then spread to other more interesting and sustainable topics.
