  • If you can dedicate some time to constant keep up - pick a rolling distro. Doing major version upgrades has never not had problems for me. Every major distro has one.

    My choice is Gentoo, but I’m weird like that. Having said that - my email server has been running happily on Arch for just over 5 years now.

    The lemmy instance I host is on Debian testing - Gentoo was not available on DO - no issues so far.

    Even when it’s mostly containers - why waste time every n years doing the big upgrade? Small change is always safer.







  • I’ve been pondering about responding to you. Since I can’t see this as some sort of irony - here goes.

    I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. The shadow in your example would be bound by the speed of light, because the photons from the source of light are also bound by it.

    A shadow is just a lack of photons on a surface surrounded by other photons.







  • NFS comes to mind, naturally.

    I remember some years ago scp had a big issue, can’t recall what, though. But that made me have a look at rsync, and I’ve been using that ever since. Flags are a bit atteocious, but I’ve aliases rsync -avz status=progress to copy and it’s been happy days. One other benefit - incremental copy. Helps in cases where a copy procedure had been stopped for whatever reason.
