uBlock Origin is already less effective when running in Chrome than in Firefox. For example, it can’t detect CNAME cloaking on Chrome, while it can do that in Firefox. When Chrome finally enforce manifest V3, uBlock Origin will be even more neutered in chrome due to limited number of blocking rules.
I just checked my AMD box and tailscale there can consume ~15% of cpu time when the tunnel is under active use. When it’s not used it’s ~1.5%. But it’s a low power old AMD cpu though (AMD G-T56N), so I’m not use if it compares to Ryzen 5. On my intel machine, it’s ~5% when under active use, and idle at ~0.5%.
On my machine it’s consuming about 0.5% - 1.0% of cpu time, which is higher than zerotier in the same machine (almost zero).
Tailscale does a lot more things than just tunneling though. For example, on default installation it’ll catch all outbound dns request on the machine and route them through MagicDNS (100.100.100.100).
Whelp, nextcloud isn’t known for being fast. I don’t have hundreds of thousands of emails yet so I can’t comment on that, but one thing for sure is as you put more and more data on it, you’ll have to add more CPU and RAM to it or it’ll getting more and more sluggish.
I think using container instead of VM should be better for maximizing resource utilization in a raspberry pi. Instead of partitioning your tiny 8gb RAM into 3-4 VMs with even tinier RAM each, you can run a dozen of containers and probably still have some free RAM.
Believe it or not, NextCloud. It actually can work as an email client. And it can sync calendars, contacts and todo list too.
I always look for excuses to get more servers, so if you ask me, I’d say yes, get that new server. There’s no such thing as having too much servers since there are so many things I want to self-host.
I also regularly tear down my servers and see how fast I can set it up again. Keep my deployment scripts up to date.
Storing time series data in ram so you can instantly generate pretty graph of various metrics is all the rage right now. The longer you want to keep the the data, the bigger the ram requirements. You might be wondering, why not storing the data on SSD? The answer is the bosses love pretty charts that loads INSTANTLY. The fact the the metrics database uses 200GB of RAM is not their concern.
A while ago Libya suddenly requires all companies that use .ly domain to have a presence in Libya or have their domain reclaimed by the government. bit.ly (and other internet startups that use .ly domains back then) suddenly found themselves in a precarious position. It was pretty hilarious as .ly TLD was hip back then.
Consider how many system relies on being able to send you an email for verifying your login and performing password reset. Those who have control over your email address domain can trigger password reset for most of online services out there. Imagine if Google forgot to renew gmail.com and it falls to a wrong hands.
Here is the documentation, pretty bare though: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/oauth2.html
There is also a rumor that said the OpenAI has changed how the model run, now user input is fed into smaller model first, then if the larger model agree with the initial result from the smaller model, then larger model will continue the calculation passed from the smaller model, which supposedly can cut down GPU time.
I use keycloak. Pretty steep learning curve, but once properly set up, it can do pretty much anything.
But if you’re in a pinch, NextCloud can act as an OIDC auth provider out of the box.
Does ssh works? If yes, you can use autossh
to create persistent ssh tunnel to your VPS.
That’s where I disagree. YouTube got this big because it’s been free for so long, it practically squeezed out all of its competitors. Now that it no longer have competitors, YouTube started charging subscription, even raising the price now.
Also, you can’t exactly compare YouTube subscription with Spotify subscription, because Spotify got its content mostly by paying records companies. YouTube on the other hand got majority of its contents for free from their users, just like Reddit and Twitter. Even if you subscribe to YouTube premium, the majority of those video owners will never get any money from YouTube.
YouTube Music is more comparable to Spotify, but why bundle it with YouTube premium and raised the subscription price instead of offering it as a separate product and keep the base YouTube subscription cheap so it’ll make more sense for most people.
I wonder if most of the complaints of ads on YouTube are coming from people who subscribe to something like Netflix, but spend just as much (or more) time streaming YouTube.
Actually I don’t watch YouTube that much, probably just one video per week or even less. But everytime I tried to watch a video in YouTube app, I got bombarded with ads. So what should happen to people like me who don’t watch YouTube that much but don’t want to see ads? Clearly paying the full subscription price is not worth it in this case, especially when I already have a Spotify family subscription.
It’s not that easy to migrate from Spotify premium to Youtube Music, especially with how Spotify somehow got more and more podcasts into exclusive contract. I also use spotify premium on various 3rd party clients as well, not sure if youtube music support that use case. But yeah, from pricing alone, youtube premium which includes youtube music sounds like a good deal if you’re ok with switching away from spotify/apple music.
