⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many containers are you all running?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve never looked into adding GitHub releases to FreshRSS. Any tips for getting that set up? Is it pretty straight forward?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
I wouldn’t say these services are nothing. Are they worth 10%? Eh.

A 90/10 split for content creators who otherwise wouldn’t know how to build and operate their own platform doesn’t sound like a terrible deal. It’s not amazing but if there were better options, Patreon may not be so popular.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
Fair enough
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
What’s wrong with Patreon? I looked up their fees and it may be more complicated but they advertise a 10% fee. That seems pretty reasonable considering the services they offer.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
TIL. Thanks for the information
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I’m currently not in a situation where swap is being used so I think my system is doing fine right now. I’m not against swap, I get it’s better to have it than not but my intention was to figure out how close is my system getting to using swap. If it went from not using swap at all to using it constantly, I’d probably want to upgrade my ram, right? If nothing else just to avoid system slow downs and unneeded wear on my SSD
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
From what I can tell, my system isn’t currently using swap at all but it does have 8GB of available swap if needed.

To make sure I’m following what you are saying, if I upgraded my system to 64GB and changed nothing else, and let’s assume ZFS didn’t trying caching more stuff, would there still be a potential for my system to use swap just because the system wanted to even if it wasn’t memory constrained?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Came across some more info that you might find interesting. If true, htop is ignoring the cache used by ZFS but accounting for everything else.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Assuming the info in this link is correct, ZFS is using ~20GB for ARC which makes htop’s 8GB of in use memory make sense.

My results after running cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats:
```
c                               4    19268150979
c_min                           4    1026222848
c_max                           4    31765389312
size                            4    19251112856
```
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Thank you for the detailed explanation
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
You’re an angel. I don’t know what the fuck htop is doing showing 8GB in use. For anyone else who comes across this, this is what I have. This makes the situation seem a little more grim. I have ~2GB free, ~28GB in use, and only ~3GB is cache that can be closed. For reference, I’m using ZFS and roughly 27 docker containers. It doesn’t seem like there is much room for future services to selfhost.
```
MemTotal:           30.5838      GB
MemFree:            1.85291      GB
MemAvailable:       4.63831      GB
Buffers:            0.00760269   GB
Cached:             3.05407      GB
```
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
That’s pretty much where I’m at on this. As far as I’m concerned, if my system touches SWAP at all, it’s run out of memory. At this point, I’m hoping to figure out what percent of the memory in use is unimportant cache that can be closed vs important files that process need to function.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Is there a good way to tell what percent of RAM in use is used by less important caching of files that could be closed without any adverse effects vs files that if closed, the whole app stops functioning?

Basically, I’m hoping htop isn’t broken and is reporting I have 8GB of important showstopping files open and everything else is cache that is unimportant/closable without the need to touch SWAP.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
This is why I’d like to know what tool shows the most useful number. If I only have 4GB out of 30GB left, is that 26GB difference mostly important processes or mostly closable cache? Like, is htop borked and not showing me useful info or is it saying 8GB of the 26GB used is important showstopping stuff?

I didn’t realize it was that old. Whoever is maintaining it is doing a good job making it look modern

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New home server, NixOS vs Proxmox vs Arch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Agreed. Debian with docker, flatpak, and/or distrobox is solid
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I think I see what you’re saying. My gripe is that if I want a laptop/tablet with a great ARM chip, with long battery life, my options all force me to use one of two operating systems that I’d prefer not to use for ideological reasons. If I’m forced to use one, because I want an ARM device, I might as well use the one that has the best hardware. M5s are right around the corner and the MacBook Airs are really competitive.

If I misinterpreted your question, then no, as far as I’m aware, none of the M series has FULL support. The M1s and M2s are pretty close though.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Windows with an X2 Elite or Mac with an M5.

Let me know when these X elite chips have full Linux compatibility and then I’ll be interested. Until then, if I’ll stick with Mac, it has the better hardware.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Shapr3D has been pretty decent and for a hobbiest, $300/yr for their pro version has been tolerable
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Budget small (ish) case for a nas.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
This isn’t exactly what you asked for but just in case it might interest you; I ordered this Aoostar WTR Pro recently to replace an Odroid that died on me. It has an intel N150 and lets you install whatever OS you want. I’m pretty happy with it so far.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else should I self-host?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Paperless-ngx - it allows you to upload important documents like receipts, contracts, etc. and uses OCR so you can search them
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The “Dark” Greek Telegram.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
To go along with that, Telegram doesn’t make it easy to set up an encrypted chat. First, you have to set up a regular chat, then tap on the profile image of the person you are messaging, then tap the 3 dot menu, and finally tap “secret chat”. It’s there but they clearly don’t want people using it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t know what the fuck is going on. The client app connects to all 4 servers it needs a connection to. I can create a user on the server and all clients can login using it, I just can’t get notes to sync.

Official docs here

I found this tutorial1 and this tutorial2

Tutorial2 makes this one port change to the official docker compose file but otherwise is seemingly the same as tutorial1:
```
  notesnook-s3:
    image: minio/minio:RELEASE.2024-07-29T22-14-52Z
    ports:
      - 9009:9000
      - 9090:9090
```
With that change, and setting the port of the domain to 9090, I can access minio in the browser. But I don’t know if that’s necessary or not. I’m stumped.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Did you by chance self host the sync server using docker compose? Their instructions aren’t great and I was hoping you had some tips.

For anyone else interested, if I figure it out, I’ll post what I did here.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

has some basic monitoring on them.

What monitoring software are you using?

I feel like the other measures you talked about (backups, condom of network traffic, etc) I’m doing ok on. Its really just the monitoring where I’m stuck. There’s so many options
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’ll look into it, thank you
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve seen a bunch of people recommend Authelia. Do you mind if I ask why you went with it over other software? I only went with authentik because I found a tutorial on it first
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
1. check
2. check
3. check
4. I saw someone else recommend crowdsec. I’ll look into it, thanks
if you use one of those 5$/month VPSes, with a VPN tunnel to your backend services, that adds one layer of “if it’s compromised, they’re not in your house”.

I’ve heard this mentioned before but I don’t really understand how this works in practice. If the VPS was compromised, couldn’t they use the VPN to then connect to my home?
