if it’s in the correct place, correct read permissions/ownership, etc i’ve noticed that this is also the error that’s thrown when selinux denies the read: in my case i’d created the service file in my home directory, moved it, and because of that it was tagged incorrectly

i’m on my phone and don’t have time to lookup the resolution or how to check, but perhaps someone else can add that detail

it was cheap merch marked up by 1000% and the colour ran in the wash

hey now! they care about justice and world order and protecting people from bullies

just not as much as bullying queers and court orders against abortions and justice for… not being christian?

also the paradox of tolerance

baby steps… patch hole after hole. the alternative is do nothing, and that’s a pretty crap outcome

it’s possible, but that would seem… odd… for such a large and tech-savvy instance. there’s a lot of reasons why this isn’t a good idea, and very few technical reasons why it is

my guess is that it’s less about obscuring server location for privacy reasons as is the implications in this thread, and more about handling changes cleanly or something like that - in which case, sure it obscures the server location but more that it makes the server “location” (or hardware, etc) irrelevant and fungible

a reverse proxy these days is pretty much just a requirement of any dynamic service. they often run on the same host as the software

they tied meat to themselves and ran at the bear screaming

pretty easily to test without getting bogged down in the weeds if you’re comfortable in terminal:

cd <drive path>
while true; do
  date > test_file.txt
  sleep 10
done

this will loop infinitely and write the the disk every 10s until you cancel, so should keep the disk awake… of course, if that works you can spend time figuring out how to keep the disk awake, or how to make VLC load less into RAM

if you can do something in your every day life to make someone happy, who cares if it’s weird? live life; we’re all weird; just make people happy and be happy in return

getting a small laptop as a dumb terminal and using a cloud server as a more beefy “as needed” machine isn’t a bad option either
