Okay, fair enough.

You’re correct, but this is pretty much “Statistics 101”. Granted most people are really bad at interpreting statistics, but I recommend looking at Backblaze reports because nothing else really comes close.

Sure, YMMV for any statistical study but it’s also the best source that exists for stats on consumer Hard Drives tested at scale.

1. Seagate drives are generally way more reliable now than the pre-TB days.
2. There is always a risk of premature failure with all hard drives (see the bathtub curve). You should never have only one copy of any data you aren’t okay with losing.

FYI: Backblaze is a cloud storage provider that uses HDDs at scale, and they publish their statistics every year regarding which models have the highest and lowest failure rates.

This is still extremely bad for the industry, regardless of whether you personally use it.

How dare you make a woke app. /s

No one is saying that. Two governments can be wrong simultaneously.

If you’d like to run them on the same Ubuntu VM, I’d recommend deploying them using docker, as that will make avoiding port conflicts much easier as well as keeping each application isolated.

You should also look into a reverse proxy so you can reroute traffic from your desired subdomain to non-standard ports (otherwise you’ll need to specify ports in the URL which gets weird). I recommend Nginx Proxy Manager which can also run in docker.

You could spin up another VM for Lemmy if resources get tight and you don’t mind the extra cost.

We don’t think in “bits” at all because our brain functions nothing like a computer. This entire premise is stupid.

More users.

But seriously, more ports of and/or viable alternatives to professional applications. It’s the top reason people stick with Windows—even when they don’t like it.

You can use party voice chat on your phone (Xbox app) while playing the game on your Linux PC.

Most distros can even connect to your phone via Bluetooth and you can mix the audio+microphone into your PC headset.

I’ve done this before in KDE Plasma and it worked seamlessly.

It’s way easier to move from one Linux distro to another if Valve starts enshittifying SteamOS (which would really suck) than it is to move from Windows to Linux. Either way this is a good stepping stone that’s well supported.

The easiest way is NextCloud.

I really hope they release this to consumers.
