Is this part 2 of 3 or part 2 of 2?

This is pretty slick, but doesn’t this just mean the bots hammer your server looping forever? How much processing do you do of those forms for example?

You might be interested in this project where someone has hooked up a low-power system to Mastodon and is tooting through it stories about the experience. The project author may also be worth contacting.

What exactly are you self-hosting that’s gobbling up that much data? I’ve been self-hosting my website for decades and haven’t used that much over all that time let alone in one month.

Most of my bandwidth consumption is from torrents and downloading Steam games, but even that doesn’t get me to even 1tb/month.

Cool beans! My wife and I have been looking for a place in the UK to visit and York just topped my list.

Awesome! Which city?

Dude lives in Germany for nearly 20 years, but is still stated as “from Saudi Arabia”.

I use mine with either my Jabra 75t Bluetooth earbuds, or my big Bose over-ear ones using an aftermarket Bluetooth adapter. Both are great.

You can’t really make them go idle, save by restarting them with a do-nothing command like tail -f /dev/null. What you probably want to do is scale a service down to 0. This leaves the declaration that you want to have an image deployed as a container, “but for right now, don’t stand any containers up”.

If you’re running a Kubernetes cluster, then this is pretty straightforward: just edit the deployment config for the service in question to set scale: 0. If you’re using Docker Compose, I believe the value to set is called replicas and the default is 1.

As for a limit to the number of running containers, I don’t think it exists unless you’re running an orchestrator like AWS EKS that sets an artificial limit of… 15 per node? I think? Generally you’re limited only by the resources availabale, which means it’s a good idea to make sure that you’re setting limits on the amount of RAM/CPU a container can use.

This was both fascinating and exhausting. Thanks for sharing!

Syncthing on Android will be discontinued, and there’s a fork already, which as I said above, I use.

I guess it’s been a while then. Syncthing works perfectly for me, with the official latest version in Arch, the older version in Debian, the flatpak on Ubuntu, and the forked version on Android, syncing all my Joplin data all over the place.

I don’t much care for the file format though. The appeal of Git Journal is strong.

Joplin + Syncthing has been great for me. Sync across multiple devices with no third party in between. However the “sharing” in this context is limited to other installations of the entire db. To my knowledge, there’s no way to say “sync these notes with my wife, and these others with my phone only” etc.

BG3 is a pretty impressive game really. It’s clear that they poured a lot of effort and talent into it. It just feels… pointlessly complicated to me. There’s like, 200 different spells to cast, each with their own effectiveness based on a dice roll, a multitude of different configurations for character development which all feel both too similar and like I’m closing the door on something I might really like. The story is… okay, but really not that interesting to me, and the pacing in combination with the very open world and constant fiddling with gear with a multitude of only slightly different attributes… it’s just too much. The game feels more like a job than something I’d do for fun.

Whaaaaat?? Friend you just made my night! Thank you!

I broke down and bought Baldur’s Gate 3. I really tried to like it, but I did not.

So now I bought Horizon: Forbidden West, but the Deck can’t play it, so I’m playing that on my desktop.

Nevermind I went back over and found it. It was Marina Sirtis at 20:35.

At one point in the interview, Visitor says something about an acres who refused to be interviewed because she didn’t want Visitor to make money off of her. I didn’t catch the name though. Who was it?

Each Pi 4 has 8GB of RAM. With six devices, that’s 48GB to play with. More than enough for my needs.
