  • I only run two instances, both run nginx and static HTML sites (plus all the stupid mandatory bits like fail2ban, python for ansible, certbot, etc. They are very low usage and get no seo or anything so they are really, really low usage.

    I’ve never been warned about resources so far, and it’s been 3 years. I intensionally don’t run any high-bandwidth stuff like a matrix server or file sync for that reason.

    I just lock it right down with keys and firewall entries for SSH. Logs are pretty quiet, except for llm scraping, but they are rate-limited, so they go away quickly.

    Be aware that Oracle presents image “shapes” as the os images for use,which include oracle, Ubuntu, and a few others. These do have oracle metrics gathering and agents installed to help with migration between data centre zones, so it’s conceivable that they can read what’s on the os. I don’t have any PII on there except public keys and my email address.




  • My disagreement with your posture is your implied insistence that protecting children is the only goal of these proposed laws. The military example should have shown you that this is obviously not the main goal of these laws, but you seem to want to ignore this.

    Most ppl agree with protecting kids from mature content.

    This law(s) is framed in a way to be unenforceable, yet the laws are coming regardless. This would suggest there is another reason for the laws.

    • How would the law work for new Linux server rollouts?
    • Over 18 only, no learning Linux in school?
    • Change working age laws so no under 18 can administer servers?
    • Consent on every automated install? How would that work?
    • If servers are excluded from the law, will ppl just use a server install and add a DE on them after?
    • How do we validate who is actually at the keyboard? (Hint, you can’t)

    Are you seeing how unworkable this proposed law is yet?

    We don’t prevent kids from going into hardware stores that carry dangerous tools, we assume children are accompanied by a responsible adult. This is no different.









    • You must install from Linux, proton has no idea where all your DLL are from your other install.
    • don’t use NTFS in Linux if you can avoid it
    • as others have said, open the hood and look at logs, errors, etc. Linux is open and free, but that comes with doing more yourself.

    If you can’t stop complaining about how “windows did this automatically, but Linux doesn’t”, maybe Linux isn’t for you. No one is going to hold your hand and do the magic for you.
