Despite not liking the requst for a pay cut, it seems clear that VW can’t just sit and wait for the best. There are significant challenges coming ahead.

The shareholders!

Ford has two manufacturing facilities in germany.

Fleet is an open source device management software. Calling it literal malware seems odd to me.

How would you manage hundeds or thousands of devices without Intune, SCCM, Ivanti, Ansible or whatever tool your org uses?

I would be more worried if the company had no means of controlling their devices, keeping them updated, secure and compliant.

When it comes to protect the rights of thw users, there are typically laws in place (at least where I live).

You can trim it even further:

For a start, try hosting something in your own home. A raspberry or an older PC or laptop should be enough.

My first projects were a print server (so I can print via wifi) and a file server. Try to find something that is useful for you.

Only start hosting on the internet when you’ve learned the basics and have more experience.

Interesting. What is tge reasoning behind only fetching the comments vs. a full fediverse integration?

No, with these reasons:

• Bandwidth isn’t plenty
• My “uptime” at home isn’t great
• No redundant hardware, even a simple mainboard defect would take a while to replace

I have a VPS for these tasks, and I host a few sites for friends amd family.

The approach could be to use the lemmy server software and a custom UI, not a whole new server-side project like kbin/mbin.

Examples:

• Photon
• Alexandrite
