Its also probably fairly easy to become an aristocrat if you are immortal. You start as a mercenary to earn money, then you win a decisive battle for your lord and he gives you a noble title and lands.

Decryption is not related to root permission.

If the ENCRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container can decrypt it.

If the DECRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container never knows it was encrypted in the first place.

Second case is easier BTW. Just mount the drive on your host, type in the encryption password and you get a new, unencrypted drive. Specify this new drive in your docker compose/docker file.

Generally, Linux Servers are best administered from a command line. At least in the beginning to set everything up. In turn they are faster on lower hardware as they dont even have a graphical desktop at all so need less resources. You could of course install a windows server OS. They can be fully administered through Remote Desktop and a GUI.

There are multiple projects to make self hosting more accessible (like casaOS). They automate many steps of the setup and then offer you a webUI for further steps. Maybe have a look here https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#self-hosting-solutions

Absolutely!! Who came up with that idea. It should be a top level button not placed in ANY tab. And "latest"? That sounds like "featured apps that you might like if you are not looking for something specific". Why would I go there if I "am looking for something specific".

Absolutely mindboggling design...

Except for that one time when they told everyone to go to that place and kill everyone there to claim the land in the name of the lord. And that second time, and third, and fourth...

... I wanted to make a joke about there having been 10+ crusades but the I realised the wikipedia list of crusades INCLUDES MORE THAN A HUNDRED MILITARY CAMPAINS DIRECTY LED, INITIATED OR SUPPORTED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!

You can install packages from other places and create your own (and then install them). The distro maintainers have one (or multiple) list of "approved" software but you can add as many lists as you want to your package manager. Often software developers will have their own package list that contains only their own software and if you install it you have to add that list to your package managers trusted software locations. In that sense it isn't really better than going to the developers website and downloading an installer on windows but it is quite rare you have to do that

Also massively emptier

No there absolutely is a way without unconsented human experiments. You can go slow and prove every step of your procedure is save (enough) before doing it. That way you dont have to lie to the other people involved.

Addresses change all the time. Especially big websites will have many addresses for the same name and depending who (or from where) someone is asking for the name, they will tell them a different address. That way someone from Europe will connect to a server in europe and someone in the US to an american server. And cloud providers will have hundreds of addresses that they reuse and rotate for many customers.

Also to reduce the number of name request, the DNS system will cache answeres (save the answer and use it again later). If I ask for the address of Lemmy.org, they then change their address and I ask my DNS server again, I will get the old outdated address again.

There is also the question of who is actually in charge of answering DNS requests to a specific name.

All in all there are a lot of moving parts and for some reason people seem to be bad at managing their DNS records so when something breaks, very often it is because of DNS. (But also because DNS is very fundament so any problem with DNS will have a big effect so it is more noticeable)

There is a big difference between "not keeping logs" and "dont have a way to check what you are doing right now".

No logs just means they can't check what you did last week but they can always check the traffic you are producing in that moment. If they see traffic from a torrent protocol they know you are torrenting.

Edit: they do claim they do "No Monitoring" so yeah by their own words they should not be able to tell you are torrenting.

No Monitoring
