At the time in question here tasksel wasn't a thing, I think merely a concept. It made its way in Debian installer around 20005 IIRC, right along "one-click installs" from hosting services mentioned in the other reply. The whole decade before that, indeed manual set up was needed.
> at /r/homelab or somewhere selfhosters hang out today [...] That's orders of magnitude more manual work
There is two kinds of self-hosters, those who aim at reproducibility and those who don't. The latter is more fun, the former gets quickly mandatory when you _rely_ on your homelab.
Setting up and maintaining a server is easier today than it was decades ago, A LAMP at this time meant a lot of manual setup, IaC wasn't a thing, reproducibility wasn't a goal, versioning was confidential, documentation was scarce and often outdated, out of the box security was lower, ties to the OS were higher. Managing virtual hosts was clunky, updating OS/PHP was risky. I would not go back for anything.
> having to setup docker properly (rootless and all that)
Rootless being the proper way to setup Docker is a highly controversial take. You will mostly get added complexity and a false sentiment of security from it.
Try a few thousands.

Reads like "don't you guys have phones". My bet is it will be forgotten in a year.
No there was a long blessed period of time between the solving of spam and the introduction of altered results.
There was 80 persons inside one of the most powerful room of the world so they just use his first name to protect his identity.
> Unfortunately, [the ruling] means we have no other choice than to extend the temporary suspension of activity in our French distribution centers while we assess the best way to operate with regards to the court of appeal’s decision
So I'm not sure how it's related to what you say. There are a lot of similar businesses that can continue shipping as usual and I would be very surprised if the Law has checked all of them for safety measures respect. It is highly probable that many of them don't do things correctly yet nobody cares. In the end this is typical of the French government hypocrisy that is going for the big (foreign) one just for the sake of symbolism. Cdiscount is a huge French Amazon clone that can still operate as usual, I can bet some of their employees are also at risk.
Yes, and it's also not your friend. That's an easy mistake to make. You owe your company nothing more than work and loyalty.
I have been there since the old times of IRC and I have never seen anything promised.
