Unless you are a business with millions of users, I would be really skeptical of redis improving performance. At the end of the day, any simple KV store can replace it. It’s not like postgres where having sqlite in it’s place means not only a different performance profile, but also different semantics, sql dialect, rpc protocol, etc
I don’t know but usually uk websites are the worsts of the bunch
No such thing in their website from europe
Bought only the nas hardware, no software or enclosures with OS from the and had no problems
What is it? Why do you find it useful?
Dbeaver
I ditched nix and install software only through portage. If needed, i make my own ebuilds.
This has two advantages:
It’s sad how self contained now means “only” one docker image
It syncs my extensions, except for mobile the ones that aren’t available (obviously)
This is very cool.
I an slowly building my own syslog server with visualization, but it’s cool to see new stuff on the block.
I have always been wary of big commercial services like kibana, grafana, etc…
Or don’t, because they are going to kill it eventually.
There are less convenient possibilities, like pass and keepass, even a markdown file pgp encrypted and git. Yes, less convenient, but guaranteed to work in 5,10,20+ years
Do it. Buy an hdd, start to understand how to store the data safely, how to torrent and how to contribute to the community.
You’ll learn a lot, and I am guessing that you are very young, all this knowledge will be very useful in the future. Every cent spent now, will multiply in the future
this is a very bad article. It talks about “zero trust” but then suggests you to use corporate software, the cloud, sketchy russian apps to monitor your traffic at home. Also, I am not spending 2 hours a day going through my logs, nor I want a VM/container with 8GB of ram wasting 40% of my GPU on grafana.
Great that you included your threat model, but you should have specified the type of services that you host/provide.
One thing i would look into is disabling any port that is not necessary (like 80 and 443) and disable ssh on the wider network.
Host a wireguard endpoint in the internal network that acts like a bastion and allows you to ssh-jump to any other host and VM on the network.
Wireguard is more secure than ssh, assuming sound crypto and hygiene for both, because you can’t probe a host from the outside and know if wireguard is running or not
I am not sure what you are talking about. None of the stuff OP talked about are related to containers. Also containers complicate networking a lot, so i would avoid them at all costs and use VMs
There is nothing to refute, 100% correct
First of all ignore the trends. Fuck docker, fuck nixos, fuck terraform or whatever tech stack gets shilled constantly.
Find a tech stack that is easy FOR YOU and settle on that. I haven’t changed technologies for 4 years now and feel like everything can fit in my head.
Second of all, look at the other people using commercial services and see how stressed they are. Google banned my account, youtube has ads all the time, the app for service X changed and it’s unusable and so on.
Nothing comes for free in terms of time and mental baggage
The only good reply in the thread. Thanks for saying this
It is unrealiatic, that in a stable software release there is suddenly, after you tested your backup a hard bug which prevents recovery.
How is unrealistic? Think of this:
Not a single app, not minimal dependencies. It’s a file that gets processed and creates many gigabites of leftovers, with an enormous runtime and piles of abstractions
