There are some websites that I feel deserve to have me disable uBlock so that they get a little support from me even if it is not much or maybe nothing, is it worth doing that risking my privacy or is what the site creators can get from me doing that so little that it is just not worth it? Or are there any other alternatives,...
I’ve been running several instances nginx proxy manager for a while and using a python script I wrote to keep them synchronised but lately I’ve been having them crash more often than usual....
It's a balance between losing information due to purging old stuff, and losing information due to an instance shutting down entirely from costs being too high.
I want to use SearxNG as my daily driver, and I added three instances to my browser’s search engines list. However, I find that all three are down whenever I try to use it, and I inevitably have to look at the list of instances and click the top one just to perform one search. Is there a way to “auto-route” my search...
I have setup so many instances over the months on different servers and the web ui always takes 40s to a minute to load per page I have always used redis for caching and the best methods even the aio docker image(s) are really slow....
Syncthing is what I use as well, it's very fast and I've been using it for over a year now with no issues.
I've actually had nextcloud nuke my data once before too, they had a bug that reset the created/mod time of every file to something like 01/01/1000 and completely broke everything, I had to restore from a backup.
When I was new to #SysAdmin stuff, #Plesk helped me a lot with setting things up, especially email. But this is just stupid. I'm already paying for a server package that comes with Plesk, but it can't administer #PostgreSQL?
But since I don't want to host email or DNS, I just ended up setting up nginx and php with a database from scratch, I find it easier to manage that way since it's fairly simple and I know more about what's going on inside.
Usually, I'd aim for the cloud environments for public resources (serving more than like 20 people), as the traffic won't be hitting your home network....
Yes, but it's behind a Cloudflare tunnel, in general it just makes my life easier since it hides the real IP and I can filter out bots and crap before it ever gets to my home connection.
Instagram used to be more photo focused too when it started off, I imagine if it gets more of the average user crowd to switch over then it will revert to a more instagram like feed.
The takeaway I get from a lot of youtube videos around homelab/server content is they haven't actually tested it themselves, and just recommend high end hardware because it's cool.
I'm planning to set up a CCTV system to watch around a building. Anybody running Shinobi or something? And if so, what hardware are you using? I bought some cheapo v380s but the ones I got are honestly hot garbage.
Frigate is fantastic, easy to setup, very simple UI. And it makes use of 6th gen and up Intel HW acceleration for object detection and encoding, so it's fast and very light on CPU usage.
For hardware Reolink is pretty decent for low cost, their 4k cameras run around $80-120 and as far as I know all support RTSP.
I take it zoneminder doesn't support HW acceleration? Frigate uses very little CPU due to running OpenVINO and VAAPI, but I don't think it supports hardware as old as the Xeon v4
I've been a long time Redditor and an Apollo user for about a year. I even paid for it. The main draw for me was the lack of advertising. In the back of my head I kept thinking that it couldn't last. Reddit is losing revenue from the lack of advertising views. It didn't...
IMO the issue that people are upset about, and as a result all the publicity going on, is just related to how much they wanted to charge people for the API.
If they rolled out something reasonable for pricing, and allowed people to use their own individual API keys in third party apps, I think a few would have complained here and there, but otherwise it would have been fine.
I don't believe one exists, correct me if i am wrong. I believe something like this should be worked on as i sense youtube is going to tighten down soon, too. Would it even be possible?
How well do NAS SSDs or NAS NVME drives run AAA PC games these days? I have a NAS that's a few years old with regular NAS hard drives and I usually get lag if I try to play more intensive games from them. Has the technology improved?
I doubt there is any difference between a "NAS" SSD and a normal SSD other than the label they slap on it for marketing. Even a basic SATA SSD is going to be like 200-300x higher IOPS compared to a spinning HDD.
1GbE networking on a NAS will of course limit the transfer speed of an SSD for sequential data, but for random data it probably won't much, and so games should work reasonable well.
But I always recommend a local SSD instead for running games/programs from.
I would say a Pixel, not sure what prices are like on a used Pixel 6a where you are but those are solid.
Either way I always recommend buying a higher end 'premium' phone used, instead of buying a new budget phone, since even a 2 year old premium phone is way better.
I like devices that are not locked into an OS ecosystem (Apple, I'm looking at you!) and although I already have a Fitbit Aria scale, it gets thrown out when my wife stands on the scale with a pet, to get the pet's weight (you weigh yourself, hold the pet, and then work out the difference). Having a built-in pet/baby mode is...
I'm not a fan of buying hardware that relies on some third party service that could either shut down, or decide to charge for usage at any time. The hardware looks nice though.
Personally I find btop really hard to glance at and see what's happening, htop is much better for opening up and quickly checking what process is hogging CPU/RAM/IO/whatever.
I would like to get into it, I do have a basic ship of some sort from many years ago. But I just can't run the game well enough and only get 20-30fps in most places.
I'm currently running homebridge and pihole from an older Lenovo (i5, 256 SSD, 8GB ram) laptop (tweaked power settings to allow idle when closed) hardwired into a switch. I am currently running Ubuntu Server LTS, and have uptime ~2 weeks. I'm a little worried about reliability, I was originally using Ubuntu Desktop LTS, and I...
Lenovo laptops often have a setting to limit battery charge to 80% which would solve that issue, but I think usually you have to do it from their windows utility software.
Is it possible to protect my privacy while disabling uBlock to support some websites?
There are some websites that I feel deserve to have me disable uBlock so that they get a little support from me even if it is not much or maybe nothing, is it worth doing that risking my privacy or is what the site creators can get from me doing that so little that it is just not worth it?
