  • What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance?

    Jump

  • Yeah it emails us and pops up a thing in the ui where we can mark it as resolved

  • Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe

    Jump

  • Agreed. They'll just turn off features for those areas, like they do with crypto and the UK.

  • We dont proxy on lemmy.ca yet, but I assumed thumbnails would still be stored in pictrs like usual? I thought it was just the actual image links that got proxied, and thumbnails were still dumped in like usual.

    We turned on cloudflare's CSAM scanner and remove anything it flags for us.

    Spare mini PCs? What would you do with them?

    Jump

  • I have all my home infra on one beefy box, except for two things. These are services that I deem critical enough that I don't want them to have an outage at the same time as anything else.

    Opnsense gets a dedicated mini firewall pc, and Home Assistant runs on an old intel nuc

  • They have a point

  • If I recall correctly he was the boss of a team back wherever his company was. It kinda makes sense he would have knowledge of the dinos, but most of his team was kept in the dark to keep it from leaking.

    Still though you need at least a couple people on site.

    Jump

  • It's not about dinosaurs or fences, the whole story is about the danger of underpaying your IT guy.

  • Google reveals its Android for PC is coming next year

    Jump

  • So they can show you hyper targeted ads, obviously.

  • They stored people in quark's holosuites in that ds9 episode

  • Steady

    Jump

  • They say they're holding steady, and they are, look at those graphs.

    They didn't say they were holding steady at ideal levels.

  • What happened with Sublinks?

    Jump

  • Everyone is ok with Python. It's a reasonable choice that's well known, well understood and doesn't have a lot of negatives. There's a million libraries for it so it's easy to get started and add support for new things.

    I've never met a hobbyist developer who writes Java for fun. It lives in the enterprise world mostly, and not much else that I've seen.

  • What happened with Sublinks?

    Jump

  • I have no knowledge, but would guess:

    • building an app is harder than people think
    • an opinionated community doesn't generally help
    • Java, eww.

  • My Proxmox had amnesia after a power loss..

    Jump

  • Does zram impede disk cache?

    Jump

  • Yes, configuring memory to be used for zram would mark it as unavailable for kernel fs caching.

    Does iostat show your disks being pegged when it's slow? Odd that performance would be so bad on those specs, makes me think you have disk Io issues maybe.

  • Proxmox Plex Hardware Acceleration

    Jump

  • FWIW I did this with jellyfin and ended up just using a vm instead of lxc. This way I could just pass the entire device through, not have to mess with drivers in my proxmox host, and not have to reboot all my vms/lxc just to apply updates.

    Jump

  • Thumbnails do, not the actual image generally.

  • How does streaming compare to "analog"?

    Jump

  • I would counter that it takes significantly more power to provide someone with internet compared to a broadcast antenna.

    Google tells me a low power tv antenna broadcasts at around 2.3kw. I've deployed datacenters full of racks where each rack pulls more than that. Once you take into account all the networking gear between the server and the consumer, , the internet easily requires more resources. Routers, switches and servers can be pretty power hungry.

  • It's not VPN endpoints we block, it's some ASN's that we've seen excessive amounts of abusive traffic from. Primarily that's isps in China, but I also added Zenlayer a while ago (which is the hosting provider your vpn endpoint was on).

    I've removed them from the ban list, you should be good now. They might get readded if we see a flood of abuse from them though.

    I just happened to see your comment, anyone can feel free to dm me if they have issues.

  • I don't think signal data is included in system backups unless your device is rooted. You'd have to go into signal and back it up explicitly.

    I just turned this feature on. I don't backup my device all, I just expect everything to be in my cloud.
