I dont know, the Swedish police’s slowness to charge Paludan and Momika with hate speech doesn’t really justify some random vigilante (or Turkish spy) going and giving him the death penalty. Kinda outside the paradox of tolerance here.
This new law literally legalizes stop and frisk.
Just going to point out gang shootings and targeted bombings is not terrorism, and declaring curfews and removing habeus corpus in the capital is insane.
För terroristbrott döms den som begår eller försöker begå ett uppsåtligt brott om
Of the services OP is asking about, I’ve only run Lemmy, but I will say that running fediverse services are quite advanced, which is exactly what k8s is made for - Running advanced web applications.
I’m firmly on the “k8s at any scale” team. If you can figure out how to run the k3s install command and are willing to look at some yaml documentation, you will have a much easier time setting up database and networking, running backups, porting your infrastructure to other providers, and maintaining everything, than with legacy control panels or docker compose. The main reason why Docker Compose is so much more accessible for self-hosters is because of the quantity of noob-focused documentation for Docker Compose, But learning either system requires learning the same concepts of containers, IP adresses, storage, etc. Docker Compose also has some disk and networking shortcuts for single-server workloads, but they also have their downsides (what is a macvlan?).
The main reason why I think Kubernetes is critical for this specific workload is the number of production-critical databases that OP will need to run. OP will be running something like 4-8 postgres databases, with high uptime and 100% durability requirements. Trying to do that manually with Docker compose just isn’t feasible unless you’re willing to code. Kubernetes makes all of that automated with CNPG. See how easy it is to create a database and have automated backups to S3 with Kubernetes
The biggest challenge for kubernetes is probably that the smaller applications don’t come with example configs for Kubernetes. I only see mastodon having one officially. Still, I’ve provided my config for Lemmy, and there are docker containers available for Friendica and mbin (though docker isn’t officially supported for these two). I’m happy to help give yaml examples for the installation of the applications.
I would recommend installing k3s and cnpg on the VPS. These will make it easier to run the various containers and databases you will need to run lemmy, etc. This is the standard way that big companies run servers in 2025, and it’s 100% portable to any server/hosting company just through copying and pasting the yaml files (like docker compose).

Make sure you save backups of your VPS, and use object storage to backup your databases.
I have example kubernetes configuration for lemmy on my Git. It doesn’t use any volumes/local-storage, all user data is saved into either the database or object storage, to make it cheap and easy to backup.
I’m a professional DevOps engineer, so I work with hosting every day. Let me know if you have any questions or want advice.
nobody’s trying to ban a “Jan 6th organization” nor prosecute Jan 6th coup participants for terrorism
Ah, fair. I guess it makes sense that Wall Street is questioning the need for these expensive blackwell gpus when the hopper gpus are already so good?
Nvidia cards were the only GPUs used to train DeepSeek v3 and R1. So, that narrative still superficially holds. Other stocks like TSMC, ASML, and AMD are also down in pre-market.

RESOLUTION
Deeming certain conduct of members of Antifa as domestic
terrorism and designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist
organization
Bizarre story. China building better LLMs and LLMs being cheaper to train does not mean that nVidia will sell less GPUs when people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump can’t shut up about how important “AI” is.
I’m all for the collapse of the AI bubble, though. It’s cool and all that all the bankers know IT terms now, but the massive influx of money towards LLMs and the datacenters that run them has not been healthy to the industry or the broader economy.
It all makes sense now!
yeah, networkd isn’t better than Network Managar or just static IPS imo.
Also, resolved is horribly buggy and unusable. Tried for a while and switched to dnscrypt proxy 2 instead
ITT: systemd haters get overly upset about someone on the internet deciding to use systemd
Elon Musk thinks he’s very important
Jokes on them, I have always defederated them
Denmark is normally otherwise an ally of the US.
However, this call has spooked the Danes. There will 100% be escalations from the Danes to protect themselves as a result.
theyre invasive
dude just multiplied Russia’s WW2 casualties number by 10x lol
60M?
Highest figures for Russia+ukraine+others combined is 27M!
They also have Liberapay, OpenCollective and Patreon:
technocracy != Elon Musk as president
technocracy is when you have political scientists and engineers as politicians, not billionaires and lawyers.
