Noise and air pollution are valid concerns with a lot of these datacentres being built as well. Some of these recent datacentres have been built close to residential areas, and the health harms are far more worrying than the property valuat

I use my home connection for VPN access remotely. I back up snapshots of data every day. I like to be able to download games and Linux ISOs practically on demand. I work from home and often enough faster speeds can avoid several minutes of

I love seeing trees in more places, but for parking lots in particular they do have some downsides compared to solar panels. They often require more space; they attract birds that that poo on vehicles; and there’s a higher risk of collatera

The extent of that heavily depends on where you are. Where I live in NZ, the grid export rates are very low while the import rates are very high. Our peak import rate is 3x higher than our solar export rate. In other words, we’d need to sel

If you’re using Linux you’re almost certainly using your package manager to get any relevant updates.

Automatic updates are absolutely not peak stupidity. Most users’ devices would have nasty security vulnerabilities wide open for a much longer period of time without automatic updates.

I was thinking the same, and read it as “Xi”kipedia. Then sure enough, one of the articles that it immediately showed when it loaded was for “General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party”, or Xi Jinping. Coincidence?! Yeah, probably.

Hey. I run a small community forum and I've been dealing with this exact same kind of behaviour where well over 99% of requests are bad crawlers. There used to be plenty of "tells" for the faked browsers, HTTP/1.1 being

If you have a "legitimate scraping pursuit", identify yourself appropriately that way. I'm happy to let most well-behaved scrapers access my content. Hiding behind a residential proxy and using random user agents? Gross. Lear

Thank you for speaking some sense. As a site operator that's been inundated with junk traffic over the past ~month where well in excess of 99% of it has to be blocked, the scrapers have brought this upon themselves. I actually do let q

I run a really small forum and I've been absolutely inundated with a bunch of junk traffic. I had to tighten my Cloudflare WAF rules a whole bunch, and start issuing browser challenges way more aggressively. Excluding known "good&

For many ephemeral workloads, sure, but that comes at the expense of generally worse and less consistent CPU performance. There are plenty of workloads where I’d love to double the memory and halve the cores compared to what the memory-opti

I like that https://discordstatus.com/ shows the API response times as well. There's times where Discord will seem to have issues, and those correlate very well with increased API response times usually. Reddit Status

I set up Immich last week and I absolutely love it. Docker is my "happy place" and I found the setup pretty straightforward, though it does have some rough edges that I anticipate will be sorted out as the project continues to mat

This is similar to my setup and experience as well. I have a multi-purpose server running Samba with 10 Gbps SFP+. I have 2.5 GbE on my desktop and easily saturate that when transferring files. I even use the network for stuff like old game

Meanwhile here in New Zealand we can get 10 Gbps FTTH already. Sorry about your NBN!

“Sorry, this content is not available in your region.” What a short and sad story.

I set up a self-hosted FreshRSS instance as well, and I feel the same benefits from it. I got back into RSS after Reddit pushed its API changes through, and it’s been so refreshing. I’m using social media a lot less now and those tingly FO

You can engine brake with a lot of automatic vehicles as well, since they’ll still have semi-automatic modes. I drive a car with a CVT and I’m able to “down-shift” for engine braking by using fake gears at specific ratios.
