Huh? I just install the binary, simple.

The specific distro doesn't really matter. What matters is package choice (being able to do the few things you listed with the apps you would like to use). I guess if you're among the Debian evangelists you probably value stability more than any other consideration. Just pick some server distro or Debian again.

Setting up an app in docker is the easiest option, even more than just simply installing the binary?

While I understand the anger at the residential system I wouldn't go and burn the buildings down. My mom is a residential school survivor and I'm sure it was a significant factor that affected that side of my family in various (negative) ways. I still wouldn't go and burn down the church.

Big deal, just self host in a VPS if you're willing to pay $$$.

Don't make the mistake though of self hosting (Dendrite) as it will just choke, in my case it was a single user instance subscribed to only a handful of channels but apparently that was too much for my server to load messages in any manner that would be considered quick.

I've self hosted several services at once on there but apparently Matrix is just too heavy too handle compared to other things.

Who in their right mind at Netflix thought that putting out games would be a viable source of revenue.

I might just import these over to my server.

Even if your security oriented it seems many frown upon any self hosting whatsoever.

I got a small team in school to all adopt my self hosted Matrix as a chat solution for a project we were working on throughout the year. It was great. Everyone jumped back to Discord after we graduated though.

Yes, I'm sure many idots believe in this pyramid

Might want to see this: https://lemmy.ca/post/1090349 I can see this becoming a norm over there.

Looks like the upper Midwest might be ok, at least for now.

Droughts in the west are going to end up causing mass migrations once all the water is finally gone, and the extreme heat in the east makes me think if anything people are going to be leaving the USA, probably in our lifetimes.
