What advice do you expect from a Linux discussion group? I suggest you do what you feel is right for a subjective decision like this, all hearing other people’s opinions will do is confirm your feelings.

There is a significant difference between AI assisted and AI produced from what I’ve seen and experienced so far.

Assisted takes generated code and uses it to inform the code actually written, letting it fulfill a boiler plate function or the place of a junior coder at worst.

Then there are those project committing the AI produced code largely unreviewed and unchanged.

Former is mostly fine but needs an experienced coder who trained writing code unassisted (where are new coders of that caliber going to come from now?), the latter is a morasse of slop.

I’d argue that it’s self managed but not self hosted, it’s still running on somone elses computer and they ultimately control what you can and cant do with it. The distinction is murky though because a lot of the discussion here is about managing services rather than the hosting infrastructure (though of course there is some of that too).

I would argue that if your games are already performant on the platforms you care about that you would get diminishing returns. The only reason to experiment with specialist asm would be for your own experience and enrichment which is a perfectly reasonable reason to pursue it.

It’s probably not worth comparing to an OS where even shaving a few cycles off of code that runs all the time on millions of computers across the world would end up with significant impact.

You need to profile your binaries to find out where they spend most of their cpu time and try and optimise those areas with more efficient code before you even consider micro optimisations like asm for specific cpus. Considerations like algorithm choice and cache efficiency of your data will all likely have a larger effect.

Can you do letsencrypt dns challenges against the free tier now? This was one reason I moved to duckdns. Plus I kept forgetting to login to keep the account alive so it would just stop working until I logged in and reactivated. Duckdns do emulate that experience with their random downtime though 😂

Those are the the ones that somone has managed to find in closed source software…

I don’t think it is that is more polished, it’s just you pay for them to do the stuff you need to do yourself with reverse proxying, opening ports, securing stuff. This is only an issue if you are sharing outside your network of course.

Why bother self hosting at all then? Paying somone else to do it for you and the deal constantly getting altered is pretty what you signed up for.

That’s because you had somone elses servers doing that part for you.

Fully aware and autonomous? Sounds like AI talk to me…

It’s a donation that is deceptively framed in my opinion, bit of a dark pattern, but the product is fully open source so most give it a pass.

Worse they often report issues that affect them but still don’t commit resources to resolving those issues.

Indusputable proof of ownership of what exactly? The expired domain the nft points to? Nope. Whatever the link once pointed to? Nope. You only have owner ship of that particular urls representation in that particular block chain which confers you exactly nothing else. Not much different to the state you’d be left in with skins in a defunct game as I said.

Sure, but your entry in the block chain that is just a link to nowhere isn’t much more exciting that telling people about the cool skin you once had in a defunct game.

You can run a separate db server using local storage and use NFS only for the data volumes for the applications themselves.

IMO these kinds of poor man’s automation scripts are only useful to novice sysadmins but those are exactly the kind of people who shouldn’t be running scripts they piped from the internet for both the fact that it’s risky behaviour and the fact they don’t then get the experience doing this manually for themselves to move on from being novice.

That said, let’s not gate keep. If novices don’t want to gain experience actually doing sysadmin work and level up their abilities and just want stuff that will probably work but that they’ll not be able to fix easily if it doesn’t, at least it’s a starting point and when things break some of them will look deeper.

I personally manage my services using ansible, I only set up the actual infrastructure, the virtual machines that run the services, with terraform/opentofu. Docker is one of those in the middle tech between infrastructure and software distribution and it makes more sense to me to treat a service as a role in ansible do I can deploy it (docker, podman package install or whatever), sort it’s networking and handle it’s configuration all in one place. I’m not saying the way you do it is wrong, but this is just a step down the automation rabbit hole.

It doesn’t appear your setup provisions the actual hosts for docker so I guess you are provisioning manually for that layer? That is another area you might want to leverage opentofu for?

Also congrats on actually documenting it in a consumable way for others to learn from.

There is more than one type of water, but unless your IoT device is a fusion reactor it’s probably just running off the normal blend.

Hence the term “sunk cost fallacy”.
