So there's a lot going on here but the message is very simple. Even for a native English speaker, this is some flowery language. Very heavily Christian (all the Thee's and Thy's and Thou's are of course God with that Capital G) and it tries to instill humility before God.

All of this is a fancy way of saying "no matter how much I learn and achieve in life, I must never think I've learned or achieved more than God."

Honestly, this is the point where I'd just make a new VM and manually migrate what I need to

Hyper-V will work with physical disk, but be warned - the wizard you run through when making a VM will make it look like you give the VM a VHD file for storage or nothing. Just attach no storage to the VM initially, then go into the VM settings after the wizard is complete to attach something besides a VHD.

Can't entirely remember if it handles partitions but I know it can boot particular disks and if the setting exists, that's where it would be

Windows 7 was a competent OS with low system requirements, a stable kernel, a simple feature set that was well-known and useful, an interface that was comprehensible and clearly conveyed to the user, and it didn't require extra investment or online accounts, and compatibility options for the really old stuff. It remains the Best version of Windows in my eyes.

8 took away the comprehenisble UI, low spec options, and lack of online service requirements, then 10 further complicated the UI and filled the OS with ads, the then 11 bloated the feature set, added even more ads, borked compatibility, and made the online accounts a requirement unless you pay extra and/or know what you're doing.

Just one more tax break will fix everything, I'm sure of it!

Been using this for years. Highly recommended if you want a lightweight pdf reader. It's bare bones and that is both a curse and a blessing.

It's the cover of the Pink Floyd album Meddle

Though it's really just an ear with some 70s image modifications

PRAISE BE TO THE LINE for some reason

Oh dear, you....might need to beg your gods forgiveness.

I've heard of other villages merging this tin with their copper to create sturdy tools and weapons, even ones capable of breaking bronze and wooden implements like shields. A marauder we captured last year called it "eyerown", but I didn't understand his language so please confirm with your elders.

Our village has such a traveling merchant we've traded with in the past who was able to get us a small amount of tin. We've only used it to produce elaborate bowls and chalices for our leader, at his request. He likes the way they shine in the sunlight.

Hey /c/selfhosted! Reddit refugee here with a couple questions on things I'm a bit uncertain about. I'll try to keep it brief, but I can clarify anything that needs clarified.

I came into a little money recently and I'm coming into some more in the nearish future. My plan is to put some of that into a new server build that I'll use to host VMs running Docker, Portainer, and Nextcloud for starters. Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Gitea, and some kind of dashboard site will come once I get NextCloud in a good place (I'm torn between Dashy and Heimdall, so if anyone's got opinions I'd love to hear them.) I plan to add more once I'm more comfortable with Docker, and once I have a better idea of how to keep all these things organized and backed up.

I have two domains I'm going to use for these, one for test and one for "prod". I use quotes because all of these things are for me only until I'm confident enough to invite my family. I don't plan to make anything that's going to be used by more than a handful of people overall.

I've been trying all this with an old server I got off Craigslist which I installed Server 2019 on. I know IIS is a thing, but I'm not certain how or even if IIS plays with Docker, which has me questioning if Windows Server is even worth messing with on the new hardware. Right now, I have a VM set up in Hyper-V which is hosting Docker/Nextcloud in what I'm considering a test environment, but it's not accessible outside the home. Mostly I did this to learn Hyper-V for work, so I'm not married to Windows Server or even Windows for all this.

The other problem, of course, is DNS. It does appear that my ISP has given me a static address (or at least they haven't changed it since I moved in 6 months ago). Assuming that's true, I'm not certain how I'd go about configuring a DNS server at home and making it accessible outside my home. If anyone's got any resources they want to recommend for setting up a DNS server in-home for this kind of thing, I would love to see them.

tl;dr

  1. Is there any advantage to using Windows Server to host VS some flavor of Linux or even Windows Pro, or am I just wasting my time (assume cost is not a factor)
  2. Am I making my life harder trying to manage DNS through Windows Server, and is there an alternative if so. Linux alternatives also accepted
