From the downvotes it seems like many people might be this:

I would love a suggestion for a ups that could tolerate running off my generator when the power is out for extended periods, anyone have a decently priced recommendation?

I don’t think that’s a bad extension of the analogy

I use cloud flare DNS and it has support for dynamic IPs, my current setup is through a plug-in in my PFSense router

On macos it does

While it’s running, have you checked docker stats to see how much memory/cou the container is using? What’s the host, what’re it’s total resources and what are you using to run the vm?

Paperless-ng (or ngx, but I don’t run that flavor)

I’m not opposed to operators trying to make money, if some server brings some feature that I find valuable, I won’t begrudge them trying to make money off it. I think the hopeful thing with federation is that when one feels that an individual server is being abusive or doesn’t like their monetization approach or is unhappy for some other reason they have the choice to go elsewhere. Competition is good.

This is a struggle. I’ve found it helpful to use skip-level 1:1’s to discuss this topic, and make sure my skip level knows ahead of time (and on an ongoing basis) that building this map (and helping to guide others through it) is a priority of mine so they can prepare at their level to provide information that I might be missing.

It’s also a great opportunity to provide that same skip-level with the perspective from the engineers in the organization on the "flip side’ of that coin. You’re facilitating communication and alignment in both directions.

Others have said it already, but I love my Framework laptop. I have one of the first gen ones, running Ubunut, and I’m looking forward to upgrading it to the new AMD motherboard they’re releasing later this year. The fact that they have upgrade paths for their laptops is amazing.
