Dockge would be more appropriate for that.
Watchtower has different functionality, mainly keeping them up to date with images.
You want Jenkins, GH Actions, or even ansible.

It could, but I’m in my early 40s.
I just started early with a TI-99/4A, then a 286, before building my own p133.
So the “World Wide Web!” posters were there for me in middle school.
Still old lol
Like anything else, it’s good to know how to do it in many different ways, it may help you down the line.
In production in an oddball environment, I have a python script to ftp transfer to a black box with only ftp exposed as an option.
Another system rebuilds nightly only if code changes, publishing to a QC location. QC gives it a quick review (we are talking website here, QC is “text looks good and nothing looks weird”), clicks a button to approve, and it gets published the following night.
I’ve had hardware (again, black box system) where I was able to leverage git because it was the only command exposed. Aka, the command they forgot to lock down and are using to update their device. Their intent was to sneakernet a thumb drive over to it for updates, I believe in sneaker longevity and wanted to work around that.
So you should know how to navigate your way around in FTP, it’s a good thing! But I’d also recommend learning about all the other ways as well, it can help in the future.

Ooh, missed that one - thanks!
Do you have any recs on good solarpunk movies/documentaries?
… Which is the device they specifically mention regarding /e/os in the article.
I don’t know if I can agree on that, I personally find osx frustrating even today with how little control users are provided with, but I’ve also been a Linux user for far longer than just about anything else.
Still though, I do put OSX above Windows these days - purely based on software, not their hardware/price - for being easier than windows.
With package managers and stable desktop solutions (Debian for example), I think it’s easier now than ever to ditch the proprietary and have a better experience.overall as a user.
I think you may be misremembering some osx fun with cups in the past, just like with Linux. Honestly most activities for the older folks these days is mobile or web based, the tech support needs for them is about the same regardless of OS imo.
Back when I did solo IT work (a good 20+ years ago now), the questions were pretty much the same no matter what was being used too, though the Linux desktops at the time were usually focused on specialty hardware (so the dot matrix they were connecting to was about as easy as it could get).
At the time though, macs were getting popular again, even among folks like me who appreciated Darwin and thought OSX would lean more heavily into open source rather than the outright thievery they ended up doing, but that part is neither here nor there.
I’d say back then it was maybe 65/25/10 split of windows/osx/linux (usually redhat there, and two machines with slack), but the questions were mostly the same. And no matter what OS it was, it usually became a request for me to just do it for them on my next trip over.
If anything, aside from specific bits of software that may be unique to an industry and someone actively working, which OS has gotten far, far, far less important than it used to be.
Oof, seriously. And /e/os is an odd recommendation over graphene.
Right now it’s got some private info in there, but I’ve been meaning to make it sanitized to share, so I’ll let you know
Phenomenal, thank you!
If you do find it let me know, I’d love to see it! I really do have about 20 hours of training in networking I give to folks, and since it’s literally 20 hours of information, I like to put in fun stuff.
Like a picture of a facemask I added during COVID with “stay at 127.0.0.1, don’t 255.255.255.255”. Super cheesy but at least it’s a mental distraction from information overload haha
Well this is going in my “basics of networking” presentation.
Let’s see…
My servers (tiny/mini/micros) in total are about… 600W or so. Two NASs, about 15-20W a piece.
I spend a out $150/mo in electricity, but my hot water/HVAC/etc are the big power draw. I’d say about $40-50/mo is what I’m spending on powering the servers in my office.
Definitely puts off some heat, but that’s partially because it’s all in one rack, and I’ve got a bunch of other work hardware in there. It’s about 2 degrees warmer in my office than the rest of my home, but I also have air cycling all the time since it’s a single unit HVAC and I need to keep the air moving to keep it all the right temp in the other rooms anyway (AC will come on more often otherwise, even without my rack).
Not really. It’s gone from the alphabet handbook, not Google’s.
Which was a hilarious bit for me recently with a guy saying “I HAVE THE HANDBOK FOR GOOGLE” and getting all upset despite my repeatedly pointing out that it was removed for alphabet, which is a different company.
It also got moved around in the Google handbook a bit. Still exists though.
Stand up a little VM with an install of Debian 9.
Don’t mess with your main system, don’t worry about flatpaks, and you can just get rid of it if you’re done with it.
Neural networks, OCR, called one of the “godfathers of deep learning”, etc, etc.
He’s a brilliant, well known scientist.
Considering the way they presented what was obviously them trying to skirt the rules, it isn’t hard to believe that CF did provide that info, and it just wasn’t presented in this writeup.
Not that I have any love for CF, just saying this is a case of no one being trustworthy.
Take a look at Apache OFBiz, Akounting, Frappe Books, and LedgerSMB.
