Yup, I’ve gotten much more into the smolweb, niche websites and the dark web, where some parts still feel like a place I can breathe.

Det har varit lite blandat under åren, men oftast funkar semlorna i mataffären helt okej. Det enda jag inte klarar av är när bullen är fylld till bredden med mandelmassa.

För mig är det en semla om året och då givetvis på fettisdagen.

I just use a straight up general Linux image, such as debian or arch and then install what I need inside them.

Check out Distrobox.

Did not expect that topic to turn into a fucking rabbit hole. Nice read, thank you.

More luck than anything really. It was probably because it had 6 months left and the fact that reading and writing felt slow. Everything else behaved normally and buying a new disk was an educated guess that turned out to be the correct choice.

I had a weird issue with a server SSD.

6 months ahead of scheduled swap, it didn’t die, it just started reading and writing really sluggishly, making the whole server behave really weird. Disk smart statistics looked healthy and disk self tests passed with flying colors. Anyway, had to swap it early and do a re-install of the OS.

The rest of my cluster temporarily took over running some pods and only saw downtime for a few pods that were dependent on some disks in the failing server.

I guess the incident has restarted my interest in distributed storage.

I was going to suggest Cheeto and K-man

If you can’t beat them, deport them

I still have my reddit account, but I got all my data deleted via a GDPR request. I’m never at reddit at all, I actually prefer Lemmy way more.

Although not adopted, but ipv5 was mainly a proposal for streaming. https://itsfoss.com/what-happened-to-ipv5/

Eh, what the fuck Germany?

I’m sure this will never be used beyond the proposed scope /s

Yup, came here after the API changes that basically blocked 3rd party clients.

I think you nailed the most passive-agressive way to get your point across. Thanks for the chuckle.

I fully expected NATO to be on that list.

Right you are, I see it on comments.

It’s a good feature, I just wish I knew how to make it appear on posts and comments.

My personal belief is that it’s mostly cool and won’t see any heavy commercialized use in the near future, due to heavy lobbying from the petroleum industry and the whole but-think-of-the-poor-oil-execs gang.

I feel like this wouldn’t reduce costs, since the load is the same, but just moved to a different daemon, in this case nginx. I for one, pay for bandwidth on my VPS, so the cost for me would be the same.

One thought I’ve had, is to use a slow loris technique combined with a small pool of connections and an ai poisoner, to keep the scraper occupied for as long as possible, without using a lot of bandwidth.
