  • Ultimately up to you, but I’d go with no GUI and just use ssh (and sftp if you need to do file transfers).

    When I was using Docker, it was headless because the GUI just ate up space and resources I didn’t need. All your interaction will be in the shell anyway, launching your compose.yml files.

    But, if dealing with a headless machine sounds like more trouble than you want to try, install the DE if your choice and breathe easy because it’ll still work perfectly fine.


  • Those advancements were made possible by the Roadster, which was the true pioneering product that made EVs cool again. A car that was dreamed up and invented by Martin Eberhard, and would go on to be built by someone else that gave him the shittiest end of the most shit-covered stick there ever was.

    Everything that has given Tesla a reputation as an imnovative company was either done by the original inventor or their amazing engineers over the years.

    Elon brings money and celebrity recognition to the company. If the celebrity recognition turns and becomes a net negative, the money is going to start becoming an issue too because his loans might get called and then he’s got nothing to bring to the table. I choose to dream about that future right now.


  • I think you’ve put more thought into how to get started than many others would! You have a pretty good plan from what it seems. My thoughts from each section below.

    Hardware: I’m partial to Crucial and Kingston for storage that is affordable and dependable

    OS: I’d probably spin up a Debian install if I were in your shoes and run my services using docker-compose files. It’s a quick and easy to get up and running, and despite the ease, there is still the option to do a lot of customization when you want to, and that will make it easy to learn more at your own pace and leisure.

    Services: For the CalDav portion, I’m really liking Radicale.

    Security: PiVPN is what I’m running on my actual RPi along with PiHole, and it was a super simple setup. I connect via Wireguard from any of my other devices.






  • If they are one people, then all of Russia is also Ukraine. And I happen to think Zelenskyy is a more legitimate leader.

    I wonder if there’s a localized zone where there is some sort of really great density of people who consider themselves Ukrainians. And I wonder if there exists some distinguishable boundary between them - culturally, societally, dare I say politically - where on one side an individual would expect to encounter a Ukrainian, versus on the other side, where they would more probably expect to encounter a non-Ukrainian?

    Edit: Maybe an edge? A ridge? Something that describes a clearly defined boundary between two distinct areas that are closely related in many regards while also being clearly distinguishable based on the split that defines the division between said areas…

    Edit again: I swear it’s on the tip of my tongue. So frustrating. A line, maybe? That seems closer, but not quite there.
