You don´t put "estimated drinking time" on bottles. Instead, you list the volume and let people figure the rest out themselves.

Any and all answers are greatly appreciated. No judgement whatsoever. Asking this for research on a WIP article:

Do you #selfhost ? If so:

- What do you host yourself?
- Do you use an existing toolchain (Ansible/Puppet scripts, Yunohost, etc)?
- Do you run it bare metal, virtualized or containerized? Which one?

Boosts appreciated

The interview with Richard Hipp about SQLite on the latest Co-Recursive Podcast is very interesting: https://corecursive.com/066-sqlite-with-richard-hipp/

Plenty of good stuff in there. For me the highlight was his talking about testing, and how he spent a year applying DO-178B/ED-12B as a quality control standard. Ensuring that every branch at the machine level is tested is a tremendous amount of work. But that explains how SQLite went from something I shook my head at as a nice idea but unreliable, to the absolutely solid beast it is today.

The lesson about Audacity isn't "Audacity is bad", it's another reminder that when we contribute to a FLOSS project, we need to carefully consider:

1. What license is the project under? Can they take the work and make it proprietary?

2. Does the project require a CLA? If so, that's a big red flag

3. Do they have existing external contributors or are they at least welcoming to them?
