  • I assume you are in north america, maybe Canada?

    Here in Europe, just forget it building yourself. Because in addition to all the building code and rules, you simply cannot fulfill the work area safety rules and, unless you can do 100% alone all the work, also guarantee the requirements for the other workers. What I mean is that you cannot because a company is required, only a company can have all the required paperwork for having other people working on the site.

    And don’t get me started on the “paesaggistica,”, which is a town commission that must approve and change to the facade or in general public visible parts of your house to ensure those match the landscape…

    They forbid me to have a 2-way roof, I needed to replace the 4-way roof with a similar one because “it’s the style here”. More complex, more money, less light (no real windows possible). And o counted 80% of houses around me have 2-way roof… So you go figure.












  • ShimitarAtoSelfhosted@lemmy.worldHow often do you update software on your servers?

    Gentooer here. Emerge sync &; world daily at night.

    Weekly a manual check for stuff that doesn’t autoupdate for reasons.

    Monthly / biweekly podman compose pull for containers. Manual, because i don’t trust that kind of autoupdate.

    Edit: opnSense updates are manual only when I remember because if it breaks, I must be at home to fix it or i lose remote access and that’s bad.

    Gentoo user here.

    Of course I always build every package from source because that’s how Gentoo works.

    Well, you get well optimized software for your specific cpu and architecture that often will not run on a different CPU. At the cost of lots of time.

    For big ones like Firefox or rust I always choose the prebuilt ones… But everything else is from sources.

    Also, another great advantage is to customize package features to your likings, like disable an audio backend or enable another, and such.
