Gotcha! ๐ It's from Star Trek: Voyager, season 6, episode 21.

I know, for fact, that's delicious. Mmmmmmm.
Are you asking where I found the meme? I believe it was on my Mastodon timeline.
There's a difference between your domain registrar and the authoritative DNS servers for your domain. For example, I register domains with Hover, but host the DNS at AWS. If Hover were to go down, I don't see how that would have any impact on my DNS. If AWS's Route53 were to go down, then my DNS is only as good as what's cached out there on the Internet.
Depends on the context, I think. For me, I rarely do it for personal stuff. If I wanted to be perfect, I could do it, assuming a signature is available to verify, but I'm lazy. I would venture to say most folks don't do it either.
With that being said, where I have been consistent about doing it has been writing config management code at work. If I need to have it download an installer from an untrusted source, I can verify that I'm installing the same package on all servers by verifying the signature before installation. This doesn't always work well in all circumstances, though.
That's clearly intentional.
I tend to prefer installing Debian on a server, but recently I did install Ubuntu's recent LTS on a box because I was running into an issue with the latest version of Debian. I didn't want to revert to an earlier version of Debian or spend a bunch of time figuring out the problem I was having with Python, so I opted to use Ubuntu, which worked.
Ubuntu is based on Debian, so it's like using the same operating system, as far as I'm concerned.
I wouldn't worry. It's not a foregone conclusion that this place is going to suffer and die because the subreddits opened back up.
Yup, I've read something similar. Hopefully they're able to get things sorted out soon!
I've not personally noticed any federation issues with Beehaw on my instance. Glad to hear things are better tonight.
Yes, I agree with you. I'm certainly willing to take more risks with my personal systems than my work systems. Plus, I don't use any configuration management here at home, so everything I have is setup by hand and unique.
