VPN would still work for iPhone I imagine. Small whitelist of DNS would do 90%+ of the job.

You aren’t wrong but my goals to pay off my car loan first and that should be done in a year. Sucky timing I guess.

Its a shame I don’t have enough for solar yet. If you get it now its like getting a free battery if they are all getting a 40% hike. Probably gonna get rid of the tax incentive too cause the rich need it more too right?!

The biggest thing I learned is give postgres a crap ton of ram especially if you use autosubscribe to communities bot. Nginx logs can tell you response times and timeouts, timeouts will be from slow queries and if you get a ton, need to bump up your RAM.

Using the igpu might be problematic for transcoding if you need that. I’d recommend older intel / Asus NUCs if you want a mini PC. 3 year warranty, built for Enterprise, tall version has room for a 7mm tall sata SSD or HDD along with nvme m.2 SSD.

I think if you do Asus 12gen + they have another m.2 slot though it is the smaller one 2242. Doing all this you can upgrade it to 64GB RAM, 8TB m.2 2280, 8TB SATA SSSD, and 1TB M.2 2242. In homelab especially with mini PCs the limit is usually RAM / storage rather than CPU.

I got 4 11th gen with 64 GB RAM each and 32TB of SSD storage. I recommend avoiding QLC SSD as much as possible. Aim for TLC , MLC, or SLC. Higher storage capacity tends to be QLC or TLC, QLC has shortest endurance and slowest speeds.

Those disappearing messages aren’t just fun - they’re actually helping protect your privacy by not keeping your data around forever.

I highly doubt this is true.

I try to protect it but apparently I got a report that my social got stolen recently. Health insurance sucks, we keep getting massive increase in costs, then swap providers, then my data is stored in more and more systems waiting to be breached.

Huh I really expected it to be 2 zeros at least.

With a password manager I’d argue its better but supports still not all there yet. I am waiting on bitwarden right now to support mull, basically its blacklisted, but it was added in the last 2 weeks so now its a waiting game.

I think something like this would do? You can search the list of supported devices there. Search by exposes power.

Forgejo supports a ton of repos including docker / OCI images.

I just swapped to mull today. Fennec is only on fdroid or build it yourself. Fdroid updates take a week for official repo. Mull can get faster updates through DivestOS repo. Firefox just had a huge 0day and fennec is currently vulnerable.

Yeah works good until its under load which federation does have. Matrix and Lemmy both got like 20GB of RAM dedicated to the database on my servers.

There are postgres settings to reduce disk writes. There’s a max size and a timeout to write to disk. By default these values are on the lower end I believe.

3 days don’t sound so bad for a hurricane of this calibre. I had an outage for 6 days from a severe wind storm. Took down a ton of trees one being two houses down that was enormous and took down a power line with it. After that incident though my power company contracts a bunch of people to drive into town for extra help when there is another severe storm.

I looked into the github repo for the open source version and found the images used. It looks like it uses the open source synapse app, so it suppprts whatever the synapse server supports. Unfortunately the operator wouldn’t fully support the new matrix 2.0 sliding sync / OIDC auth currently and since its the same synapse server it doesn’t support high availability which partially ruins the point of k8s.

That being said it does seem to have some support for workers, but it seems to be a WIP and that definitely could save some time setting up workers since it can get quite complex. They have a basis for making secific worker types where you simply specify the type and it would theoretically start the worker and have it properly work with your proxy.

I wonder if they will open up the core version to support it. Guess we will see.

Starter doesn’t support OIDC so free synapse I go even though I’d like a matrix server with high availability.

Servo is an active project still just not owned by Mozilla.

I have a very very loud zoo animal choo choo train with no off switch or volume control as a gift for my kid. To make matters worse we opened it in the bedroom! It is the best of features.
