What is more expensive for your organization: time or money? In general, your options that cost less take more time to setup, and vice versa.

It seems like cheap is more important, so I would roughly do:

• SSG like Hugo or MkDocs
• store the content in S3
• serve with a CDN like Fastly or CloudFront
• authentication via VCL or a Lambda using OAuth

The Man Who Never Took Anything Seriously

This is my story, too. I’ll have a few if I go out to a bar, but I’m done doing that shit all the time; having to go outside when I’m home, in my car, sneaking out at family gatherings, etc.

However, if I were to return to hanging out at bars a lot, I would absolutely become a full time smoker again.

It’s such an insane amount of money

That’s some super user dough

It seems to shortcut implementations that require more than one block, and mimicks parameters from other functions.

One of the first things I noticed when I asked ChatGPT to write some terraform for me a year ago was that it uses modules that don’t exist.

I’d recommend just scripting with rsync commands and run with cron or whatever scheduling automation. Backup locally to an external drive or orchestrate with cloud provider cli tools for something like S3.

There are some tools that probably assist with this, but it’s just very few moving parts to roll your own. Clonezilla seems overkill and harder to automate, but I will admit I’m not an expert with it.

Same. Pizza and Chinese food travel really well with simple packaging. Burgers and french fries, not so much.

I was there to witness it’s majesty. Probably a year or two after it actually happened, but still I remember none pizza left beef

I would encourage you to do some experimenting in virtual machines before making a move on your hardware. I’m not familiar with Windows tools in this regard, but something like VirtualBox allows you to go through the installation process and test out configuration options without risking breaking your bootloader, etc.

I don’t have a certain answer to your first question, but I’ve had great gaming experiences on both Arch and Debian. One of the biggest advantages to Arch is the wiki, which you will probably find yourself using no matter which distro you end up on, as it has good documentation for a lot of different applications.

Ubuntu is a fine choice if a distro, but I wouldn’t assume that there is greater application compatibility with Windows. Portability has way more to with the application than with the OS, so if there are certain applications you cannot do without, you need to start researching their Linux compatibility. There is also a compatibility layer you may have heard about already called Wine, so look into that, too.

AMD has better open source driver support with it’s hardware than Nvidia. I don’t know so the details on this, but if you have an AMD GPU, that is generally more desirable at this time.

I would encourage you to try out all the most popular distros in VirtualBox, and go from there.

But if he comes back as ancap jebus with muscles we are all going to burn.
