I am using it and tbh didn’t have too many issues with it. It runs as a LXC on my Proxmox server.

With that it’s a fairly comfortable setup - it does have API access on the proxmox node and therefore automatically discovers all LXCs,even the ones you add after the installation.

For other machines I use a fairly easy bash script to download the agent 2 and then overwrite the config file with the right parameters,but that’s just me being lazy - it’s not that much work doing it by hand as well.

And for everything else there is always SNMP which is fairly well supported and there are tons of templates nowadays.

Tbh, I had Prometheus/Grafana before and found it to be much more complicated, especially when you need active and passive nodes. The fact that Zabbix is “All in one” is fairly nice sometimes.

Dashboards are a bit lacking behind Grafana at times,but I can live with that.

Mint is often “slow” in the adoption of things. It has its benefits,as this makes it fairly stable. But it also has its drawbacks - hardware support is a hit or miss, especially with newer hardware (it either works out of the box or you are screwed for years), has still not adopted wayland fully and will likely not be there before Mint23(2026).

That is all fine and dandy if you can live with that. If it works and does what you need it to do you will have very little issues with it. That’s what once set Mint apart, it simply worked when others did not and was bloody easy to set up.

Nowadays that’s no longer something other distributions don’t manage to do. I have recently switched my family and company to fedora(and some Alma/Rhel VMs on my Proxmox cluster) from Windows and tbh: It was as smooth as fuck and as smooth as Mint is, but has a lot of advantages in terms of “up-to-dateness” of a lot of things. (And KDE Plasma is indeed nice)

(We only have two issues that are more KDE based and less Fedora based and that are already being addressed - and only apply to domain networks)

There are other Debian based distributions that are similar as well.

In other words: Mint has, in my eyes, lost it’s unique selling point a bit over the last years. Even my most “tech illiterate” employee found herself “at home” in Fedora (as she would have done in Mint), something that was not the case when she trialed Linux 4 years ago.

So in the end: If you are happy with Mint,go with Mint. Be aware of the downsides. If they don’t bother you then it’s perfect. If it does, well,there are alternatives.

Not totally correct, the 200 number does assume that you have a mix of genetics and the average numbers of genetic diseases. There are models that show that populations that have been isolated long enough to basically “outlive/outgrow” most genetic diseases in their population they need lower numbers (which has been the case for some indigenous communities in Australia, Papua and is likely the case for some in the Amazonas - and the Sentinelese).

We don’t know if that is the case,but it might be. We simply don’t know.

If you mainly game: Nobara (and I get less and less convinced of that - Fedora original is almost as good by now) If you mainly work on it: Fedora.

If you need broad support: Ubuntu. Sadly. But read up on the drawbacks.

Mint has so many drawbacks these days and so few advantages that I wouldn’t recommend it anymore.

Sadly.

Ja gut. In DE auch echt bescheiden geregelt. “machen sie halt in einen leere Eiscreme- container und nehmen sie dann den Probenlöffel im Deckel.” Neulich genau so in einer Praxis gehört.

…wie viele Rentner haben mal eben sowas daheim.

…und wer persistierenden Durchfall Dank der aus dem Krankenhaus mitgebrachten Clostridien hat, wird auch nicht mal eben 2kg Eis essen.

… Im Ausland gibt’s dafür Sets die speziell dafür gemacht sind (quasi eine Tüte mit Entnahme-Vorrichtung).

… Aber hier sind wir halt manchmal… Entwicklungsland was Patientenwürde und so angeht.

Okay. Fair enough.

Ich hab jetzt übrigens mal das Experten-Ehepaar für sowas gefragt. Nicht so wie ihr meint…er ist Proktologe,sie Gynäkologin.

Beide lassen ausrichten: Bitte auf alles was Druck einbringt verzichten. Keine Druckluft,keine Duschschläuche, keine Spraydosen. Bitte. Bitte.

Und natürlich auch keine Granaten: https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/frankreich-88-jaehriger-kommt-mit-granate-im-rektum-ins-krankenhaus-a-01dc8b61-99a5-49bf-8a3b-9a930a697e24

Hehe. Geile Sache.

Immerhin…

Man glaubt auch nicht,wie viele danach ihren Kram wieder wollen.

Moisture was already noted,but also UV light (brown paper bags are far less UV resistant than you think) and oxygenation is an issue. Even bottles aren’t that good, actually. Blisters are actually better, but even a bit more wasteful.

Haha. ITS und Hebammen. Die goldene Kombination für jede Feier.

Woher ich das weiß? Tjoa. Nun.

Eine Hantel geht wenigstens nicht verloren.

Ganz ernsthaft: Wenn ihr sowas tut dann nehmt was,was eine breite Basis hat. Und wenn es trotzdem schief geht sagt uns Bescheid. Ernsthaft.

Ich hab schon Fälle gesehen wo das den Unterschied von “darf morgen wieder heim gehen” und “2 Wochen Klinik und ein Stoma” gemacht hat. Leute. Ernsthaft. Wir haben wirklich schon alles gesehen was das angeht.

Es gibt keine Berufsgruppe die so kinky ist wie die Gesundheitsberufe. (Ist sogar wissenschaftlich bewiesen) Die Kolleginnen und Kollegen haben Verständnis.

Yeah. Came here to write that. It was meant for the Pubic symphysis amongst others. Well, think about the structures you hit cutting there.

Yes. The structure they forgot to fully put into anatomy books until recently. Amongst others.

In other words: it would cut right through the inner part of the clitoris when used as intended.

Das Problem mit dem Magen-Auspumpen ist: Einerseits erwischt man nur Zeug,dass noch im Magen ist - Alkohol als Flüssigkeit ist da aber schnell durch und bis der Patient Symptome zeigt die so fulminant sind,dass man sowas macht würde, ist da garantiert nix mehr im Magen. Zweitens ist das Risiko einfach enorm - die Chance,dass der Patient dann entlang des “Schlauches” kotzt und den Mist in die Lunge kriegt. Das ist dann gerne mal tödlich. Daher macht man das wenn überhaupt eigentlich nur noch mit Schutzintubation,also in Vollnarkose. Und das nur zum Spülen machen wäre schon…wild.

Im Regelfall legt man selbst die schlimmsten Alkoholintoxikationen auf die Seite, überwacht sie, schließt andere Ursachen aus( auch Alkoholintoxe können Schlaganfälle kriegen und deswegen bewusstlos sein) und gibt ihnen Flüssigkeiten. Das es mehr braucht,ist sehr sehr selten,ich hab in bald 25 Jahren in der Branche und unzähligen Wiesn vielleicht 10-20 Fälle gesehen die mehr gebraucht haben,meist aber eher wegen anderer Umstände (Unterkühlung, Erkrankungen).

…so gut wie niemand kriegt heure mehr den Magen ausgepumpt,bei Alkohol erst Recht nicht.

Good. The last paragraph says it all why this campaign must go on - only when the ordinary citizen feels the war it will change things. If I were Ukraine I would target planes parked overnight on the Tarmac. After this no international airline will be able to fly to Russia due to their insurances making it uneconomical.

And this is somehow better?

There is a lot of room between “BigTech” and “Joe Average” doing it for his neighbours. Mailbox.org, etc. (see my other post here)

Lol. So we trust local governments and communities now?

Has anyone ever worked with them IT wise?

I do so in four different EU countries and know people who do in the US and Canada. And…well…there is a reason local governments often went towards the cloud services. Do people think Joe Admin in Bumfucknowhere can operate what basically becomes a MiniDC? And who controls that?

Sorry. Either go “host at home” and only fuck up things for oneself. Or do it properly with a proper DC. Colocate if you want. But that? I know it sounds appealing, especially for someone entering selfhosting (like the author did a few weeks ago). But there is a reason hosting is a business once it comes to other peoples data.
