yeah lots of people at my work reporting it, and multiple platforms we depend on are down

For my desktop PC, it felt just as easy as any other distro, but for my servers and especially for my SBCs, a pain.

On NixOS I just copy and pasted like 2-4 lines of recommended configuration and applied it. The driver was then automatically downloaded and installed and I haven't had to touch it since.

I come back every year or so and play for a month or two each time, still haven't spent money on it (but starting to think I should, to support the devs)

Can confirm, I usually got Pepsi when I asked for Coke (not unexpected).

Lived in Quebec, Canada up until recently. My family called it coke.

Thanks a lot for the update! Disappointing that it wouldn't work behind just CloudFlare, I know my parents use an Apple TV to watch stuff. While I don't happen to need this right now, it's very useful to know in case some additional restrictions happen.

I've been using Plex because it's what I heard the most about and I liked that it has native apps everywhere. Wasn't so tempted by Jellyfin since, even as a web developer, I'm not fond of web apps on other platforms. However, it's starting to be tempting to switch...

Never even heard of Hertzner, but I'm super curious about your results, I'm currently running a proxy with CloudFlare on some services but not on Plex

Everything I tried was annoying to use and didn't do what I wanted for some reason, so I just made my own. This took some time, but not as much as I expected.

• I copy and pasted a GitHub Action from the official docs which generates a Docker image and publishes it to GitHub Packages.
• On the server, I use Portainer's "Stacks" (which are just Docker Compose files) for all programs and games, so I just added a new stack which uses my image from GitHub.
• The server also has Watchtower installed on it (inside a container of course), which updates all containers, including the dashboard.
• Portainer and Watchtower both share the same Docker configuration, so I only need to configure my GitHub access token in one place (e.g., Portainer's UI).

If I occasionally faintly hear a short sound, but it's not noticeable when I'm focusing on something else and it's only every few hours, I'm fine with it. Any more than that is unacceptable IMO, unless all your neighbors do it and are okay with it somehow.

Maybe I was spoiled by thick walls.

I feel like I've been seeing more posts and comments though, and looking at those, they seem to still be rising (although probably influenced by bots).

I wonder if the spike of active user may be caused by people first trying it out (then giving up), followed up by people making several accounts on different instances before settling for one or two.
