Thanks

I love the old hardware. I like how physical it all is.

It has a much higher barrier to entry. If they can make it easy to get on a makeshift network made of old hardware then I might look more into it. I want to use it for personal use before I even think of prod. Proxmox has been in homelabs for a while which helps quite a bit to mature the product.

The problem isn’t necessarily the GUI. The problem is there are a lot of admins who don’t understand what is happening under the hood. I’ve talking to people of all ages who have no understanding of how basic things like networking work. I’ve also talked to to people of all ages that have a deep understanding of the system.

The biggest takeaway is that to be a good admin you need to understand the details. Don’t be afraid to dig in. Either dig in, move to management or both

Are you Azure focused?

If you are an Azure shop go with Azure Stack HCI. I haven’t use it personally but I see a lost of Reddit comments about it.

For a while I though it was from the SS from the Holocaust.

As it turns out I was thankfully wrong.

You got to force it then

Be the shitty admin you want to see

I would strongly not recommend a raspberry pi

Wouldn’t it be easier to just put 8gb of ram in the system?

Donate to gnome (especially if you are a company with millions to throw around)

As others have said gnome is better than Windows UI wise

Honestly you could look at an external touchscreen display. The idea is that you have a laptop and then a screen with a stylus.

Other option is a 2 in 1

Whoosh

I think they were talking about Chrome becoming obsolete. Unlikely but not impossible

I don’t think many people use Vivaldi. Also it is mostly proprietary so that’s a hard pass for me.

I’ve scene posts about Firefox enterprise from a business perspective. I wonder if we will see Firefox suddenly show up more in the business world. Ublock origin can save you from phishing links and malwarertizing

Wait until people learn about mailing lists. It will blow there mind

Forge - Jo

You do realize git is federated right? That’s how it came about.

As for Forgejo itself they are working on instance to instance federation. I think it is Activity pub based so theoretically it could be compatible with Lemmy.

Forgejo started as a fork when Gitea became a commercial company with unknown intentions

Ever through about moving it to a cluster setup? With the size of this instance it might be time for redundancy

I’m so sorry.

A few years back I had a flee problem with my pets and in order to get rid of it I had to use one of those insecticide bombs.
