FWIW, I’m running NixOS but gave up on running the Lemmy module. I gave up when I realized that Lemmy seems to need superuser access to the Postgresql server, to install plugins or whatever.
So instead, I used Arion to make a docker-compose image, running in podman. Works great so far.
What I would dearly like is an SSO system that can also act as a drop-in replacement for Kerberos. Existing krb5 servers (on Linux) are ancient, quirky, and underdocumented, but kerberos is so useful at a CLI level. I’ve always maintained separate LDAP & Kerberos instances, and the thing stopping me from moving to something more modern is that I’m holding out for that kerberos feature…
I saw a tip a while back that you could search for “commercial display panel” or something and buy high-quality dumb TVs with a few HDMI inputs and that’s about it. They’re designed for restaurants or shops, so they’re reliable and good looking, but dead simple.
I don’t honestly remember if that was the right phrase, though.
First, why is every post on this forum -1? Somebody must be holding a grudge.
Second: it doesn’t matter. ECC just prevents bit flips in RAM, once data leaves a system it’s irrelevant whether it had ECC or not.
I’ve been running servers of various kinds for decades. There is a difference between running servers on hardware with ECC vs none, but it’s not a big deal. Unless you’re running, like, banking software or something where accuracy or uptime is critical…I wouldn’t sweat it. You may just have to reboot cuz of a kernel panic once or twice a year.
