I’m still using shutdown -h now, even though the -h flag has been pointless for, what, 20 years?

edit: looks like sysvinit’s shutdown still defaults to single-user mode, so I guess that muscle memory will still be useful if I ever use a Devuan or antiX box.

So I should wish for my computer to start acting up so I can have an educational experience attempting to fix it? No thanks, there’s less frustrating ways to learn.

Also, if you’re trying to go for a greentext-style formatting, put two spaces at the end of your first line.

Same, my shutdowns take about about two seconds, although suspend can sometimes take about six seconds (but normally one).

I’m on Gentoo, so it’s probably a leaner install than most.

I’m not OP, but I use Caddy as a reverse proxy, which generates a wildcard TLS certificate with proof of domain ownership via their Cloudflare integration (who host my DNS). At some point I’ll move off Cloudflare but I never intend to host my own DNS (or email).

I think that the little extra work to have separate services is a small price to pay to have the kind of top notch user experience that you can only get with a dedicated tool.

Besides, it’s cool to have a load of different services. Most self-hosters seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next thing to install.
