I used to use Alpine containers but I’ve since standardize on Debian completely. Proxmox is Debian, my VMs run Debian, my LXCs run Debian, my VPSs run Debian, Raspian on my RPi is Debian, Armbian on my Odroid is Debian, etc, etc.

The benefit of running the same distribution on all my servers no matter where or how they’re hosted can’t be overstated.

Less mental overhead remembering different commands or config paths, same software on everything, etc. It’s been fantastic and Debian has always been rock solid for me.

That’s exactly how I have my setup, and on my client WireGuard configs I have it set to split route so I can connect to my home VPN without disrupting anything else.

iOS dev here, especially when using Swift, supporting older OS’s greatly restricts which new Swift features you can use. Especially any OS lower than iOS 15.

Give the fact that the vast, and I mean like 95% or more, of iOS users update to the latest iOS version within months of release and over 99% of users are on at least the previous iOS version, it’s preferable to start a new app on the latest iOS version possible.

Unfortunately that means older (usually 5+ years) devices get left out, but with small volunteer dev teams or solo devs it makes practical sense.

Yep my go to is MIT for libraries/frameworks and GPL for full applications. I don’t want to restrict the use of my libraries to only GPL code unless I have a specific reason to do so.

That’s awesome to hear! I’ll give them a shot of one of my domains and see how it goes.

How has email deliverability been for you using Proton with a custom domain? I’m trying to move off of Google for everything but I’m still on Gmail for my personal email and a few custom domains. I’d love to move to Proton but have heard of problems with email going to spam or never being delivered but not sure if that only applies to their domains.

I’ve been using Namecheap for years and have been happy with it. Why do you prefer Cloudflare? Is it for easier integration with Cloudflare services? How’s the pricing compared to Namecheap?

Sorry for the interrogation lol

I guess it’s not so much “hosting” as having it on your home NAS with some scripts to backups channels and videos that you like. At least that’s what I do.

Thought I should make a point to mention youtube-dl is dead, yt-dlp is the replacement and it works great. Even has a command line flag to make its options work the same as the options in youtube-dl so it can be a drop in replacement for existing scripts.
