Don’t worry, in a few years China will release some comparable and powerful RISC-V processors with some brand new in house fabs.

Although by that point it’ll probably have 300% tariff, so probably stick to TSMC x86 and ARM anyway lol

Dependencies:

Old ass library version from 2004

apt/dnf/pacman: package not found

library package was last available 15 years ago before it was dropped to move to the next legacy version

App package was available right up until last year until it was dropped for development inactivity

Absolutely no one has a compiled version of old ass library

Attempting to compile old ass library results in 30 other old ass package dependencies

How in the actual world was the maintainer compiling this up to last year

Probably since it’s the main redhat upstream and they want the advantage of already widespread usage.

Although at that point why not OpenSUSE for the same reason you mentioned.

Hey it could be worse. It could be the completely and utterly worthless MIT license.

You know how solar eclipse glasses allow you to see the sun surface without any glare by essentially reducing the light by like 50,000 times?

You can also point the glasses at a regular light to see the bulb.

I need the same thing that let’s me check really quick if some scrub has their high beams on so I can reflect their blinding light of death back at them because I’m too nice to do the same against morons who threw nuclear bombs into their regular low beam enclosure.

Although I am also very close to buying a rally high beam light array to do the light equivalent of telling people to shut up.

Lol I’ve locked myself out of so many random cloud and remote instances like this that now I always make a sleep chain or a kill timer with tmux/screen.

Usually like:

./risky_dumb_script.sh ; sleep 30 ; ./undo.sh

Or

./risky_dumb.script.sh

Which starts with a 30 second sleep, and:

(tmux) sleep 300 ; kill PID

Lol

Also kdenlive was still a pain for me to work with, but that was mostly because of its layout, shorcuts, and wording of some features.

Otherwise yeah, we’ve made it pretty far.

I said this before on another thread, but the only time sfc /scannow actually did something was when I had a machine with a drive that had a few bad blocks.

And of course it didn’t actually fix anything because a system DLL was corrupt so DISM couldn’t even repair the system, meaning the only solution was to reinstall windows.

Lol you can actually demo a github compromise in real time to an audience.

Make a repo with an API key, publish it, and literally just watch as it takes only a few minutes before a script logs in.

Also TOML lol

You might want to check what the actual hardware is first. You’ll probably be fine, but client 802.11 hardware can sometimes be underwhelming for hosting because they don’t have good stuff like beefed up MuMIMO.

Although that’s assuming you will have a lot of traffic going through it, so you could always just test throughput and latency with iperf to see how well it functions.

“How do I do X on Mac”

“First install homebrew, and then install this plugin”

50 plugins later

“There, now I can finally use the GUI”

It depends on what it is really + convenience. There are lots of morons out here running basic info sites on full beefy datacenter VMs instead of a proper cloud webhost service.

The most you’d be getting out of cloud is reliability. Self host assumes you don’t have any bottlenecks (easy enough to pass), but also 99% uptime which is impossible unless you are running with site redundancy (also possible, but I doubt how many people own multiple properties with their own distribute or private cloud solution).

if 95% uptime is acceptable, and you don’t live in an area with outage issues from weather, I’d say go for it. Otherwise, you can find some pretty cheap cloud solutions for basic websites. Even a cheapo VPS would probably work just fine.

I have run photoprism straight from mdadm RAID5 on some ye olde SAS drives with only a reduction in the indexing speed (About 30K photos which took ~2 hours to index with GPU tensorflow).

That being said I’m in a similar boat doing an upgrade and I have some warnings that I have found are helpful:

1. Consumer grade NVMEs are not designed for tons of write ops, so they should optimally only be used in RAID 0/1/10. RAID 5/6 will literally start with a massive parity rip on the drives, and the default timer for RAID checks on Linux is 1 week. Same goes for ZFS and mdadm caching, just proceed with caution (ie 321 backups) if you go that route. Even if you end up doing RAID 5/6, make sure you get quality hardware with decent TBW, as sever grade NVMEs are often triple in TBW rating.
2. ZFS is a load of pain if you’re running anything related to Fedora or Redhat, and the performance implications from lots and lots of testing is still arguably inconclusive on a NAS/Home lab setup. Unless you rely on the specific feature set or are making an actual hefty storage node, stock mdadm and LVM will probably fulfill your needs.
3. Btrfs has all the features you need but is a load of trash in performance, highly recommend XFS for file integrity features + built in data dedup, and mdadm/lvm for the rest.

I’m personally going with the NVME scheduled backups to RAID because the caching just doesn’t seem worth it when I’m gonna be slamming huge media files around all day along with running VMs and other crap. For context, the 2TB NVME brand I have is only rated for 1200 TBW. That’s probably more then enough for a file server, but for my homelab server it would just be caching constantly with whatever workload I’m throwing at it. Would still probably last a few years no issues, but SSD pricing has just been awful these past few years.

On a related note, Photoprism needs to upgrade to Tensorflow 2 so I don’t have to compile an antiquated binary for CUDA support.

I’m dumb, thank you

Torvalds is a C programmer who didn’t even consider himself accomplished until he made Git, long after Linux.

Sebastian is a warehouse manager who still thinks he’s better than everyone else because he worked at NZXT lol.

Didn’t someone actually try making SQL as a filesystem and it ended up being something like 50 times slower than ZFS after they applied a ton of optimizations?

Not as a serious project, but more like a joke to see what would actually happen.

I thought the default firewall rule for IPv6 is to block all incoming traffic? At least it is on my hardware out of box.

Public facing IPv6 doesn’t means its externally reachable, its just how IPv6 works because there is no need for NATing. You can quickly test it by trying to SSH to it to make sure its not reachable. Otherwise just add a firewall rule that block all incoming IPv6.

Anyway if you want to make sure it also doesn’t connect to the internet, you could just do the inverse and MAC ban outgoing traffic or put it on a VLAN.

I’m using XFCE with Compiz, and since I have two monitors I have a 3D octagon instead of a 3D cube desktop.
