A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Heavy agreement. Having seen how corporations host and treat data, it's a clown show. Everyone knows noone can be held accountable beyond being fired and execs and shareholders know they can't lose the money they already made. It's certainly better than that in some places but that's the baseline because those are the incentives. It's only better if there's lots of money on the line in case of a data breach. Real scenario from a corporation:
That's of course security patches by some random dudes, for the software written by the random dudes.
🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦
Anyway, what's your instance?
E: Found it.
E2: I'm falling asleep, I assumed it's a public instance. I'll probably be standing up my own at some point too.
https://lemmy.saik0.com is my instance. I'm treating it as the original myspace idea... friends of friends can get in. Also makes the local communities much better IMO...
Running in an LXC container on a proxmox cluster, all the data stored on a ceph cluster. Backed up nightly to a large 400TB backup server. Proxied through cloudflare (yes I've gotten cloudflare working correctly enough... I should probably clean up the page rules a touch...). The only thing I'm missing in my "homelab" is offsite backup... Of which I'm looking for tape libraries or similar things I can put into my rack to swap out every week or so to an offsite location.
And your example of the Ubuntu thing is even worse the moment you bring up windows environments. I know so many companies still running Windows 2012... And their reasoning? "Well it's still supported until October right?"... Not realizing it probably takes months to a year to validate all the software they're going to have to migrate. Clown show is accurate.
Great stuff.
Honestly, even if most folks from Reddit don't stay, the ones that know will most likely stay. I've been here for a week and I know I will. In the worst case scenario it'll turn out like Slashdot used to be. Frequented by knowledgable folks sharing News for nerds, stuff that matters. If that's all we get in the end, it won't be so bad. 👌
But I think a lot more will stay.
Anyway, good night!
