Not in a way that I've really followed up on after, but bringing up the next 'class' in the sense of giving the new folks those tricks that are not in the books and letting them take over where you left off happens a lot in my work. I suspect people do so more than they know every day though. Sometimes all it takes is to sell someone on the idea that they can do the thing that they're not so sure of.

I do know I've been on the receiving end of it though.

I recall using an app way back when I used to root and haxor all the mobiles that would do this. Kind of a virtualbox for the Nexus phones/tablets, but it needed root to do it. Will have to look into this, would be interesting if it can do so in user space somehow.

Edit: Damn, still needs root. Was a longshot to be able to hook into system resources without it but was hoping for some bridge function.

Exactly, the term has been pretty well claimed by people who host things like, oh say, their own Lemmy service or such.

Self hosted in this context is pretty well aimed at the 'I do a service on my own time and usually own gear' crowd. IT for a company is an entirely separate thing. Professional self-hosting would be more on a community like 'serveradmin'.

Well one of the original mass shootings resulted in the expression 'going postal', but I don't recall what was ever theorized as a motive there. Workplace frustration maybe?

It depends on the load on the disk. My main docker host pretty well has to be on the SSD to not complain about access times, but there are a dozen other services on the same VM. There's some advisory out there that things with constant IO should avoid SSDs to not wear out the read/write too fast, but I haven't seen anything specific on just how much is too much.

Personally I split the difference and run the system on SSD and host the bulk data on a separate NAS with a pile of spinning disks.

I fall just at that borderline of the two and have the same sort of spot. Took too long to get to a decent career-class job, managed to buy a basic house but only just and not much of one, savings of an amount to be confident of retirement are a fantasy from a bygone time. Spent many years with the mantra of show up, do your job, don't cause trouble, the promotions and raises will follow and in 50 years you get a nice gold watch and a permanent vacation. BS...

I know some VPN providers have their own DNS service that you can use similar to other filtered public DNS. If you mean an in house DNS/VPN gateway then what you want is probably best served by something like a firewall distro (opnsense/pfsense) to handle both of them.

And then the city/mortgage company/state/and anyone else claims 'but the mineral rights aren't included in their land'.

Plus ongoing amounts right? Otherwise what's the chances this wasn't figured in as just a cost of business?

I might just be too cynical at this point. It'd be fun to see, but at this point I suspect that any attempt to keep Trump, and I won't pretend to think it's about anyone but him really given the history, in check will be brushed off as 'the biased,unfair moderators are just trying to silence him' rather than convincing any of his followers he might be a bit too volatile for public office.

Been a while since I used proxmox but that's the nature of a lot of those free/corporate type softwares. The free 'community' edition is pretty well a public beta that you can get forum level support for, or sometimes you can get paid support at some limited level.
