There are also static export plugins for wordpress. One needs to get rid of comment boxes and such as they don't work then of course. But if all content is already in WordPress, serving just the static export is a low friction solution.

The DNS server is only one thing you tell the domain, the other is the certificate authority. And those publish all issued certificates as part of certificate transparency. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency

To mitigate the amount of published information, you can request wildcard certs to keep the subdomains private.

You can also use a wildcard cname entry to capture all subdomains and leave out the pihole faff, given that you use a reverse proxy that forwards to respective services by subdomain.

How will you provide long term maintenance of their server for a one time payment of 150$?

Could you name some then. I don't really see any in the article.

Nobody gets forced to port kernel stuff to rust. Also the rust compiler takes a lot of burden from maintainers by the safety it enforces.

The whole conflict ist not a technical one, it is entirely human. Some long-term kernel developers don't like people turning up and replacing the code they wrote. Instead of being proud that the concepts they built get to be elevated in a superior implementation, they throw tantrum and sabotage.

The feature I like most about the Google Timeline is the automatic transportation mode detection. It just knows how many kilometres I cycled any day etc. and also aggregates these into a monthly email. And it works completely automatic without fiddling around with anything.

No selfhosted alternative can do this afaik..

I think you slipped in the discussion intendations somewhere, this branch of the discussion tree is about the implications of piping curl into bash vs. installing packages

By that logic you have to review the Zed source code as well. Either you trust Zed devs or you don't - decide! If you suspect their install script does something fishy, they could do it just as well as part of the editor. If you run their editor you execute their code, if you run the install script you execute their code - it's the same thing.

Aur is worse because there usually somebody else writes the PKGBUILD, and then you have to either decide whether to trust that person as well, or be confident enough for vetting their work yourself.

Security wise it doesn't matter, you run the code they wrote in any case. So either trust them or don't. Where it matters is making a mess on your computer and possibly leaving cruft behind when uninstalling. But packages are in the works, Arch even has it since before linux support was announced officially.

Additionally, night time is the time of creating backups. A second server pushes its backup also at night too. Potentially long running tasks like database migration I do at night. Lastly, when my server starts up it needs almost an hour until it truly reaches idle (potentially because it has to keep millions of files in sync with syncthing, I have to investigate). So my servers are more busy at night than at day
