If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.

What’s bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it’s going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the “what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized” solution

Also: it’s not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way

Ah maybe I was missing the ./ , it said garage not found on path (on mobile, can’t try)

I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.

Main problem is that there isn’t an admin panel and you can’t login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:

1. Set the layout of your server
2. Create an user
3. Create a bucket
4. Assign that bucket to your user

No matter on which country the iot device it’s made, giving internet access to them in military bases is madness. IOT must be on a separate VLAN without any internet access. No exceptions, they’re usually running buggy firmware based on ancient Linux versions and no updates are ever released or installed. They’re exploitable time bombs

With paid certificates you can target ancient and unsupported operating systems like windows XP and android 2, letsencrypt is relatively recent and it’s not present in the root certificates of those systems

Wow this is art

Technically, if it wasn’t for the unofficial server component, you had to pay for a subscription even if you self host

I made something crude with python and flask, but it’s only to print address labels, always the same settings (paper size and so on)

So i just put a textbox, press the button and it prints there.

When printing generic stuff, you would need to set paper type, paper size, color or BW, if have both sides printed, if printing from a specific tray, then some kind of user authentication (i am lazy and i didn’t care about privacy so i used cloudflare access), so the complexity becomes much bigger.

Before making my crude script I searched long time for a free or cheap solution, but I didn’t find. If you find, let me know

It didn’t appear for me until I reinstalled from play store

Didn’t investigate more

big disadvantage: if installed via fdroid, it won’t work on android auto

I’m really curious about what kind of BS. Like you could search a sexy shop and have directions to go in person?

Isn’t it super slow to access via Tor?

On my m920q I used a random RAM stick and works fine. I would have returned it if it worked only with specific RAM sticks, even Apple didn’t do that

I like Zoho mail, decent prices for a lot of features

Makes sense, the site is dying and the Mac app was dead even before musk.

Maintaining the iPad app on MacOS would have required to hire a part time intern and there’s no money for that

Oops. As a non-native English speaker I misunderstood what he meant. I understood wrongly that he set the server to ban everything that asked for robots.txt

only if you don’t want any visits except from yourself, because this removes your site from any search engine

should write a “disallow: /juicy-content” and then block anything that tries to access that page (only bad bots would follow that path)

for common people they respect and even warn a webmaster if they submit a sitemap that has paths included in robots.txt

A search engine can’t pay a website for having the honor of bringing them visits and ad views.

Fuck reddit, get delisted, no problem.

Weird that google is ignoring their robots.txt though.

Even if they pay them for being able to say that glue is perfect on pizza, having

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

should block googlebot too. That means google programmed an exception on googlebot to ignore robots.txt on that domain and that shouldn’t be done. What’s the purpose of that file then?

Because robots.txt is completely based on honor (there’s no need to pretend being another bot, could just ignore it), should be

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /

The cloudflare tunnel is effectively a local reverse proxy

Create a docker network, place everything on the same docker network, then you can reach stuff by setting the tunnel at http://[container-name]

So you set the tunnel at http://nextcloud or http://jellyfin:8096 and so on

You’d think “but without a local proxy that does ssl encryption, cloudflare could read my communication” - no, if they really wanted they could read it anyway as they decrypt and reencrypt

I like munin, it’s very limited, a bit hard to configure and doesn’t have many features but uses almost no resources

Next truenas version replaces kubernetes with docker compose - you could try a nightly to see if that works for you

I would have assumed that maps are disabled by default and all requests proxied by the server to some mapbox api that has been set by the admin

It doesn’t have an option to split it?

When I did my Google takeout to delete all my pics from Google photos there was an option to split in like “one zip every 2gb”

Minio is definitely not designed to be self hosted on a small server by normal people but more for enterprise use where you have multiple servers and you’re paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for support

Tunnel everything

when i had only the file server, i turned on via WOL each time i actually needed it and a script shut it down if there was no activity after 11pm

now i host so much stuff and i’m so dependant on it that it requires redundant power and failover WAN via 5g…

I had one of those NAS (NSA320). Even when they were new and suppoted they were using some ancient custom version of linux with ancient packages. It would be insane to expose them on the internet.

get a free domain with duckdns

Seems a neat way to lose everything

If you want to just use it exclusively as a Nas, then why not truenas?

I have a unRAID server but the nas part is nowhere as good as truenas (slower, worse ad integration)

Main issue with virtualization is the bootable USB with the serial number that’s used as DRM

0.69? Here they take 0.89 which is a nice 1000% markup over the electricity price. And the shame is that everyone copied the insane pricing, still blaming “sorry the war in Ukraine forces us to double the prices” even if they now came back to what they were in the beginning of 2021

Looks like the team knew what was going on, three weeks ago the main European competitor hired this Tesla supercharger manager as CEO https://newmobility.news/2024/04/18/ionity-snaps-up-tesla-supercharger-europe-boss-as-new-ceo/

With this move Tesla effectively gave up on the $7.5 billion package from the us government to build new infrastructure. Since it was paid with private money, it doesn’t require to be nationalized. It’s also accessible to anyone, with prices that are reasonable

Also, I don’t know how efficient is the government in the usa, but in my country the chargers built by the semi-nationalized electric company are almost always broken because they don’t really care about profits, they have the unlimited government budget, so what’s the issue if a charger breaks and gets fixed after 2 years, making zero revenue during that time?

Any H1B visa hostage can pick up someone else’s work on xitter for slave hours, but for cars you need experience, talent and know how. If you fire a whole team to save $x, then you gotta pay $5x to rebuild that team when you eventually need it. (Tesla probably needs a team to develop new models, eventually. Same for the policy team, useful to launch the auto taxi when it exits from beta in 2045

not only the board won’t fire him, but probably would even vote towards approving that bonus he’s craving

He really wants that 56 billion bonus huh?

intel gpu = any integrated graphics from any intel cpu made in the last 8 years. This includes those crusty $10 celerons, don’t need a dedicated intel arc gpu (unless you’re streaming to dozens users at the same time)

detail of supported formats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video

nvme for videos seems expensive for nothing, unless you are serving 4k videos over a 10gbit connection to multiple users

Owncloud infinite scale is a rewrite of owncloud(=nextcloud) in go, it supports local, nfs and S3 mounts. Change the smb share to nfs and it might fit you

Disadvantages are:

1. All the plugins need to be rewritten, so if you need some extra feature, it’s going to be missing
2. They got acquired by a company that sells an expensive alternative for corporations (RIP? Who is paying millions to maintain a free alternative/competitor?)
3. Documentation is inferior, community is much smaller
