i “fixed” the problem of those fucking bots by blocking everyone except my country

LOL if 4gb of memory is pretty minimal I am curious to know that they think to be resource intensive.

The maximum memory I am willing to allocate to a lxc container dedicated to bookmark management (=something that I access twice a month) is 256mb

This is an ad, so the computer pictured is not fictional, but it’s the HP Mediasmart ex470 (I think this joke book was even bundled with the first units)

They used really shitty processors so it’s ewaste, maybe it can be acquired for cheap and repurposed with some mini itx board

I think it depends by the manufacturer and how they programmed the charger, I got two HP ProBook that almost exclusively got used when plugged in and after a decade they can still last over two hours, instead my Thinkpad t42 with the same usage pattern now just barely holds enough for shutting down the system

if you need to buy it, for that budget i’d choose something like an used Lenovo m910q tiny that banks and offices are throwing to the landfill because Microsoft said that everyone needs to buy a new PC. Half the price, similar power consumption (in idle, otherwise much more), much more powerful, comes with nvme and sata slots, hdmi and usb 3

you can install dockge in truenas and then all your docker data is not “locked” inside their application data

my HBA takes 20W at idle

scale, they got rid of the kvm emulator in the last release and i was devastated to see all my VM gone. The “migration” consists in you migrate the disk image to the new directory, then you make a new VM… IF you knew that BEFORE the update and took note of all the settings because the old VM menu is gone!

but also it’s clear than core is on life support

Exactly, for example I missed the note that updating truenas to the latest version disables and hides all the virtual machines (theoretically they can get migrated to the new engine but it gave me some weird error. Luckily truenas can be downgraded easily.)

Now, 3 months after the First release of the update, those virtual machines aren’t disabled and hidden anymore

Old free images won’t be removed but since they won’t get any kind of update, are essentially useless

But your endpoints are already available to everyone with just a nslookup.

Maybe it’s more the permanent history of that, so if you run something like “radarr.example.com” then you wouldn’t have plausible deniability if you’re sued and the CT logs are presented as proof of your wrongdoing

How not?

If a lxc container is in a btrfs subvolume or in a zfs dataset (those are created easily like a directory, it’s not a partition), you can do a full 1:1 copy in less than one second via a snapshot, keeping all the system files, database, version and configs

Unrelated but why a full VM for Linux stuff, lxc is much more efficient

Privacy? I’m sure that Google tried so hard to monetize it and after so many years they didn’t found a way, couldn’t use it for ai training too, so they decided to turn it off and save millions in database costs.

They still exfiltrate user movements for improving Google maps, it’s just that they don’t need to keep them indefinitely or for years or maintain a nice interface for that

Wow that seems awesome!

I could finally purge windows from my htpc without my SO complaining about “what happened to this windows why it is weird, I’m hating it” even though I tried to give the windows look and feel to kde

First I install that on windows with taskbar hidden, then one day when the SO gets used to this launcher instead of explorer.exe, I could replace the os

If you want to try again with Hugo, you can self host forgejo and let it build Hugo on your server when you commit, then serve that HTML

If you only want to make calls, any betamax/dellmont VoIP provider allows you to spoof your number after a otp code verification

I do this with avm fritz box, it can take the physical line and act as a sip server on the lan. I connect via the integrated wireguard VPN and use portsip app for make phone calls

An old android phone with a micro-hdmi port

The last phone I saw with a micro HDMI port was the blackberry Z10 in 2013

I don’t want to be the asshole but 3 days of a super underpowered VM (it can be a oracle free tier for example) is a drop in the ocean compared to the $100/year/perpetuity that apple wants from devs

Main problem might be the content, as they might think that it’s going to be used for piracy

Maybe try to spin it as “Kevin macleod recommendation engine” by filling it with this content https://archive.org/details/incompetech-all-the-music-2020/page/n2/mode/1up
