I always felt like the audio quality is similar enough to not matter - but only when one person is speaking. As soon as you’re talking while others talk, there’s this weird crosstalk effect that sounds absolutely horrible, and this has been in effect since Discords birth.

Yeah, I completely forgot to acknowledge the fact that it’s been screenshotted and posted to yet another social media site after instagram … :D

a tweet, screenshotted and reposted on tumblr, then screenshotted and reposted on instagram. the lifecycle of memes…

Be careful with portainer. While a nice UI, it abstracts away so much of the inner docker workings that you may not fully understand how your system works, if you exclusively interface with docker through this UI. You will ultimately have to get into the nitty gritty when something breaks (it will) and not understanding your stack will be cruel at that point.

I feel personally attacked by this comment

I was just about to ask if the OPs image was the original image that the meme originated from. Guess not (?)

Eh, kinda. It’s comparatively easy to set up an instance, as in “renting a VPS, figuring out how to use docker, installing docker, installing and configuring a reverse proxy, getting an SSL certificate, getting a domain, linking it all together, figuring out docker compose, and finally getting the instance connected to the open web”.

But the upkeep of an instance is a whole other story. Constantly keeping an eye on user numbers, server and client performance, storage usage, needing to scale the machine up with a growing userbase while also managing the cost and somehow finding the cash to run it, plus the dread of being responsible for the data of users on that instance, requires a strong mind and a lot of time.

While the technicalities are somewhat “easy”, expecting anyone to spin up an instance and manage the influx of hundreds to thousands of users in a short time seems unrealistic.

100 GB ? that’s cute. I work in a film production company for advertisements, where the recent trend has been for the crew to return after 3-5 days of shooting, with RAIDs filled with somewhere between 15 and 25 TB of raw data. no fun to store all this.
