I remember people warning this would happen years ago on various online threads, and getting ridiculed for it.

I think people are confused, this has nothing to do with gmail as far as I can tell.

Google is going to websites and subscribing itself to their newsletters. This is not related to consumers.

It's still good to move away from gmail and google in general, just pointing out that it's not scanning your gmail inbox or something like that.

Fedora does this too, it's really obnoxious.

There isn't a true replacement for Wordpress because of the sheer availability of plugins it has.

But for simple sites like blogs and personal sites Grav CMS is one I've used, and it gives you a web admin panel similar to Wordpress, so the learning curve isn't too bad.

Drupal also gets mentioned a lot as a replacement.

There are also static site generators like Hugo, but those require learning a lot about the specific one you use, and are pretty complex to use, and if you need non-static content like a web form or something it can add a lot of complexity to your whole setup.

I'm always conflicted on this kind of thing, because for every person annoyed that it's asking there's a bunch that are complaining that they lost all their photos because their phone was stolen or something like that, and had no idea that they need to backup their stuff.

No need, vectors can be scaled already without quality loss.

Once it’s installed in the terminal, how the hell do I find docker so I can start playing with it?

Type docker in the terminal, it's a CLI application.

But it sounds like you might want to install Docker Desktop, which does give you a GUI to use.

Proxmox (debian) on the hosts, and Debian for all the VMs and Containers.

Just nice and easy to use, supported by basically everything, and a minimal install uses like 30MB of RAM.

I also have an OSX VM because that's literally the only way you can test a website in Safari (fu Apple).

For some reason windows will update their own app from their own app store, and then immediately apply another update when you open the app.

Their whole system is so hacked together.

Looks like stuff put in place by the VPS provider that would run on the first startup to create a swap partition and resize the main partition.

I would say that's not pirating from an ethical perspective. If it's actually legal with current laws may be another story.

My viewpoint is I've paid for the right to play the game, where I get it from doesn't matter.
