I understood everything, and I hate it.

It’s been a long 2026 and I appreciate that this video actually made me laugh out loud.

…"We don’t just dump production applications in $HOME like crazy people”

Hey, I don’t dump them in home, I test them in home and never move them.

I understood nothing and enjoyed the comedy, good stuff

Do you want a scene-by-scene explanation of every command shown?

exu@feditown.com on 06 Feb 14:06 next collapse

And after having done that, you spend the next day automating these steps with cloud-init and Ansible

Damage@feddit.it on 06 Feb 16:08 next collapse

I mean, it’s mostly reasonable.

Isn’t it?

Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de on 06 Feb 17:23 next collapse

No. You see, it’s much easier doing the same thing in some cloud like aws and paying a small fortune for a slower server than on a vps.

KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 07 Feb 01:43 collapse

I hate to tell you but a VPS is just a VM in the cloud. Unless you’re paying for bare metal, at which point you are paying an arm and a leg.

Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de on 07 Feb 05:02 collapse

You’re technically correct, but missing my point.

Yes, it’s both ‘a cloud’ but a VPS is much cheaper and needs way less configuration compared to a so-called ‘cloud provider’ like AWS, Azure or Alphabet (or other companies starting with the letter A, I guess).

Well you could have skipped a bunch of it if you make ssh only available via tailscale like he does

lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org on 06 Feb 17:06 next collapse

Love the Emergency by Paramore with the lyrics taken out in the background. I feel seen now.

desmosthenes@lemmy.world on 06 Feb 18:58 next collapse

am I the agent?

“Now verify the repo isn’t compromised by trusting github and 900 npm dependencies” lmao

I was chuckling until the broke is the de facto standard then i lost it

If you haven’t ever browsed the Real Men Run as Root pages, do so. Oldies but goodies.

4cher0n@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 06 Feb 23:29 next collapse

I feel attacked

mal3oon@lemmy.world on 07 Feb 08:33 collapse

That’s because you didn’t disable password for ssh login, nor wireguard vpn tunneling (no idea why openclaw was shilling tailscale), and you don’t have robust fail2ban rules.

Broken is the de facto standard
