Nothing, it's just an extra check.
But from the moment that the script updates and breaks something and the moment he realizes it may be too late for some applications.
For example I host Traccar to track car/vans and in this case some tracks would be lost. Or maybe SyncThing, he may realize days/weeks later that a sync is not working and if he was synching his smartphone pictures with his server and the smartphone is lost/broke/stolen, he may lose days/weeks or even months of pictures.
I wouldn't trust a script. Use Watchtower or What's up Docker
So it's the use of a browser within a browser? Is it any different than just using Firefox containers (they are AWESOME!!!) and a VPN add-on?
I use BookStack and with Node Red I export to PDF the books as soon as pages get updated, so if everything goes feet up, I have all the documentation in PDFs (locally and automatically uploaded to a free DropBox account, still done with Node Red).
Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?
Or worst: permanent damage to yourself.
Let's start with the basics: is dev.to self hosted? 😁
I don't like the comment "this is why people say the open source ecosystem sucks" because a bankruptcy of a company has nothing to do with the concept of open source.
I'm not commenting on the OP message that could/could not make sense, but...come one, this is the selfhosted community! If everyone would post a news that he/she thinks it would be interesting we would be submerged by all but selfhosted talk.
I don't think that it's safe to leave both authentication factors in a single app.
The only way this monopoly could be killed is EU government intervention.
It's already happeniny with the DMA (Digital Markets Act): the gatekeeper (WhatsApp, Apple with iMessage, Facebook with Messages, etc.) will have to enable interoperability with external application upon requests. So by March 2024 (not sure about the date) we should be able to chat with people that use WhatsApp, iMessage, Facebook Message and other big services (that are considered gatekeeper) through Signal/Telegram/other apps!
This is the problem! :( Monopoly is never good, in this case in particular since it's in the hand of a corporation they make money on people data.
I do bond mount data folders of the containers, I do backups, I have a notification system that alerts me if a container is not up, but a container can be up but have problems and, most importantly, I (and I guess a lot of other people) don't always have time to solve problems. When I a few spare minutes a do a snapshot, I update the containers and if something goes wrong if I have time I troubleshoot it, otherwise I just roll back the snapshot and I'll have a look at the problem when I'll have time.
