  • I prefer subdomains, personally. A lot of services expect to run on the root of the web server, so although you can sometimes configure them to use a path, it’s kind of a pain.

    Also, migrating services from one server to another will be a lot easier with subdomains since all you have to do is change the A and AAAA records. I use ZeroTier for a lot of my services, and that’s really nice since, even if I move a container to another machine, the container’s ZeroTier IP address will stay the same, so I don’t even need to update DNS. With paths, migration would involve a lot more work.













  • I think it depends on the subreddit, honestly. For example, subreddits for mental health support (think r/depression, r/antidepressants, r/anxiety, etc.) should probably stay open since many would agree that supporting mental health is more important than protesting Reddit’s API changes.

    Then there are subs like r/sysadmin. On the one hand, it’d make sense for them to shutdown since they’re a pretty tech-savvy group. On the other hand, since this sub is one of the first places sysadmins get information regarding security advisories, for example, it’s arguably also important enough to stay open.

    Meme subs should probably go dark, though.
