There’s a whole bunch of “it loses all your data” bugs in OpenZFS too, ironically, although it’s way way less fragile than btrfs in general.

That said, the latter is pretty much solid too, unless you do raid5-like things.

FWIW that java app isn’t much memory hungry and it’s not cpu-intensive at all. There are no issues with running java apps at all if you spend 5 minutes figuring the basix flags on how to set the memory limits or run it in a memory-limited cgroup via some containers runtime.

I run k3s in my homelab as a single node cluster. I’m very familiar with kubernetes in general, so it’s just easier for me to reason with a control plane.

Some of the benefits I find useful:

• ArgoCD set to fire and forget will automatically update software versions as they happen. I use nix to lower the burden of maintaining my chart forks. Sometimes they break, but
• VictoriaMetrics easily collects all the metrics from everything in the cluster with very little manual tinkering, so I am notified when things break, and
• zfs-localpv provides in-cluster management for data snapshots, so when things do break I can easily roll back to a known good state.

k3s is, of course, a memory hog, I’d estimate it and cilium (my CNS of choice) eat up about 2Gb ram and a bit under one core. It’s something you can tune to some extent, though. But then, I can easily do pod routing via VPN and create services that will automatically get a public IP from my endless IPv6 pool and get that address assigned a DNS name in like 10 lines of Yaml.

IIRC they demonstrated an interaction with Siri where it asks the user for consent before enriching the data through chatgpt. So yeah, that seems to mean your data is sent out (if you consent).

So here’s the thing. This year I fell in love wih clojure, it’s an absolute pleasure to program in. It’s also a hosted language that runs on java (primarily) or javascript (or a bunch of marginalized things). And honestly, I feel like I can make the java backend run more resource-effecient than the JS one.

SLACC doesn’t support sending stuff like DNS servers.

It does

If you drop the projector, then airpods already do it better when paired with the watch. There’s no point in such a device at all, then.

Is there anything interesting at all reported in /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dbgmsg?

I did ran out of pcie, yeah :-( the network peaks at about 26gbit/s, which is the most you can squeeze out of pcie 3.0 x4. I could move the nvmes off the pcie 4.0 x16 (I have two m2 slots on the motherboard itself), but I planned to expand the nvme storage to 4x SSDs and I’m out of the pci lanes on the other end of the fiber either way (that box has all x16 going to the gpu)

I run 3900X with a 40Gbit fiber, packed with HDDs and nvmes. The box fluctuates around 90-110W use.

when you said that Nextcloud might not meet your needs, was your concern specifically the server-side data format?

I’d prefer them as plain files. Technically it doesn’t matter much to me if it’s a database, if I have to spin up an S3-compatible API, or if I need to slice up a zvol for it, but I just prefer the files because then I can do zfs snapshots (in which I trust) and backup with restic (in which I trust)

That gives me hope, thanks. I’ll try it, then.

Lots of files. I’d offload old projects that I worked on with synology drive so they aren’t stored locally, only remotely (but are easily accessible).

PD delegates the whole prefixes, i.e. it allows the subrouters to ask for a subnet of the size they need.

Any language you’re comfortable with is good for that. Ruby, JS, and Go come to mind the first because they all have solid ActivityPub libraries which are going to save you some time on interconnection. Any programming language can do static html.

I really enjoy writing clojure lately. the only thing that annoys me is the whole “hosted” thing where you either get a bunch of good clojure-native libraries or all the JS’s npm mess (other clojure hosts are very much non-existent).

I’d swap Prometheus for VoctoriaMetrics. It’s a drop-in replacement with a much better resource consumption story and a few extra goodies.

There’s way more and I already tried three implementations while trying to get a set of features I need. It’s a wild west out there and the resource usage is way higher than e.g. hosting Prosody. Seemingly it has to do with chatrooms being a full mesh, but my single user server consumes about 700mb RSS and 2.4 gb VSZ which is kinda high.

In case if you e.g. have eth0 and eth1 and neither is guaranteed to be up. It’s more of a router setup, though (Cisco routers are well-known to use the loopback interface like this).

It’s much more than just “http requests”, honestly. A Matrix server and e.g. nginx have very little in common.
