Double click the exe, pending update blocks the installer, reboot, click the exe, go through a wizard that ask questions you don’t know the answer to (usually defaults are ok though), be prompted for admin password, get blocked by corporate policies, fill out the IT ticket, have them remote to your box and install, reboot, find the program in the menu, run it, have it blocked by HBSS, put in ticket for that, update antivirus, reboot, manually pull group policy updates, reboot, more updates install, reboot, run the program.

Obviously silly, but also real.

Feral Developer Level 3

Yes, another great solution.

A lot of people recommend Docker, but I will go further and say to specifically use Docker compose.

That way all the configuration is in a file that you can backup/restore. Updating is really easy, and you will never forget one of the random flags you need to set.

• PiHole - you can use the custom DNS to route domain names to you npm
• npm (Nginx proxy manager) - allows easy access to all your services hosted on one box

When they said, “Don’t write self modifying code”, they obviously didn’t mean me! /s

Lisp gang rise up! uses inhaler

They made distros after Slackware?

If you hate the taste of scrum give SAFe a try! (but really, please don’t)

My main complaint with how Gnome does stuff is in environments where it is the only option (e.g. RHEL).

The backend dev has seen into the depths of COBOL and JCL that keep the world from imploding.

And the code looked back.

I’m working on it. Just waiting till Christmas.

Here are some cool/memorable games:

• Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
• Return of the Obra Dinn
• Braid

My opinion of Alien 3 went up a lot after watching all the movies that came after it.

This is a great answer.

Perhaps the solution is to figure out how to update without restarting. It is a hard problem, but a forced restart is the same as a crash from a user perspective.

I inject myself with beans every morning, usually French press

I have this exact problem.

Edit: nvm, found the solution

I’ve been using Void Linux for my home server for a few years now. It uses runit instead of OpenRC, and I haven’t had any problems with it. I would recommend the glibc version over the musl version.

Got 1 VM using KVM (Home Assistant), about a dozen docker containers, and a couple of services running on their own.

Because less ports equals less cost.
