I’m not sure which clients are used to connect. Perhaps some proof of work challenge for the connecting client to solve first? Anubis does this for http(s) and browsers. I’ve seen it in the wild quite often in the last weeks, so it seems to be effective (until the scrapers learn to use selenium to mimic browsers or so).

Thanks.
- Comment on Shared storage between virtual instances 2 weeks ago:
Since virtiofs has been developed for this scenario, it would be sane to use it for VMs. Thanks for the hint.
I will look into it. Some users had issues to get it running with incus - older unsupported libvirtd versions in the distri. Also dxa isn’t supported, yet. But maybe it is still better than NFS performance wise.
- Comment on Shared storage between virtual instances 2 weeks ago:
Moot point. I do not really need the distributed storage part for my scenario. Not right now.
Maybe I start with NFS and explore gluster as soon as storage distribution is needed. Looks like it could be a drop-in eplacement for NFSv3. Since it doesn’t access the block devices directly, I still could use the respective fs’ tool set (I.e. ext4 or btrfs) for maintenance tasks.
- Comment on Shared storage between virtual instances 2 weeks ago:
Thanks. I will take a closer look into GlusterFS and Ceph.
The use case would be a file storage for anything (text, documents, images, audio and video files). I’d like to share this data among multiple instances and don’t want to store that data multiple times - it is bad for my bank account and I don’t want to keep track of the various redundant file sets. So data and service decoupling.
Service scaling isn’t a requirement. It’s more about different services (some as containers, some as VMs) which should work on the same files, sometimes concurrently.
That jellyfin/arr approach works well and is easy to set up, if all containers access the same docker volume. But it doesn’t when VMs (KVM) or other containers (lxc) come into play. So I can’t use it in this context.
Failover is nice to have. But there is more to it than just the data replication between hosts. It’s not a priority to me right now.
Database replication isn’t required.

- Comment on Truenas deleting smb files every night 4 weeks ago:
Tripwire and auditd can monitor a filesystem and notify you about changes. No experience with tge tools, never needed them. Maybe these can give you a hint on the responsible service.
If you suspect a certain service could be responsible: what do the logs of the service say? If nothing: increase the loglevel to info or debug?
Sorry. No solution. Just ideas. Good luck.

Good.

Exposing Jellyfin through routing or SNAT plus dyndns would be a cheap option.
As soon as one rents a VPS (to expose the selfhosted at home service through routing/ tunneling) it would cost at least 2€/ month?

I learned the term sovcit. Interesting concept, it isn’t mine though.
You sound angry because there are multiple point of views for a thing and I don’t agree with your pov. I think i get the gist of your reply. But without arguments this discussion is bound to go nowhere.
You say I’m wrong by using adblocking. You didn’t tell why.
- depriving content creators of their revenue. Yes. There are donation platforms like Patreon. They get money from direct marketing (holy…) - I’m fine with that (no JavaScript, no tracking, I can skip ahead since I got the message the first time).
- depriving YouTube of the money they need to run their CDN. Partially. Bandwidth usage, maintenance costs. Should I mention that youtube sells/ licenses servers to ISPs… So they get paid by me, indirectly.
- TOS I didn’t sign anything, there is no contract between me and YouTube. Or is there one?
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 month ago:
Umm… Maybe. Let’s take a look.
www.statista.com/…/quarterly-revenue-of-google/:
In the first quarter of 2025, Google’s revenue amounted to over 89.52 billion U.S. dollars, up from the 79.97 billion U.S. dollars registered in the same quarter a year prior.
… They’ll survive.
I guess the content creators take the hit when users block ads or refuse to use premium.
- Comment on autofocus glasses 2 months ago:
Interesting idea.
Armed with fresh funding, IXI is now planning to ramp up R&D, expand its team of 50 people, and move into a new headquarters with a purpose-built lab and clean room facilities. The company plans to hold the first live demos of its glasses later this year.
But maybe I shouldn’t hold my breath.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 2 months ago:
I guess a smart phone would be a luxury item in NK. So one could chose not to use one instead of being tracked?
In Germany the government and police use the word Quellentelekommunikationsüberwachung (source telecommunication surveillance) when they express their desire to have a Trojan on someone’s phone - to protect the children of course.
So the phenomenon is not unknown outside of NK.

Not so fast! The judgment isn’t final yet. Plus some trials are still pending. Also the CEO seems to be too sick for trial.
To be fair. There are trials. It could be worse. Imagine people could be deported and sent to prison for alleged crimes. Or so…
- Comment on Infrared contact lenses let you see in the dark 2 months ago:
Yes. Light receptors maybe, but eyes…
… and light-sensing organs called ocelli, which can sense the presence and absence of light. Additionally, some jellyfish have sensory structures called rhopalia, which contain receptors to detect light, chemicals and movement.
Oh wait! This is unexpected…
… One group of jellyfish, the cubozoan jellyfish, have complex eyes… with lenses, corneas and retinas in their rhopalia.

Why would they need eye drops? They are submerged in salty water.

- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 4 months ago:
In your case: no need for a fw if you can trust your local network.
Generally: services can have bugs - reverse proxy it. Not everybody needs to access the service - limit access with a firewall. Limit brute-force/ word-list attempts - MFA / fail2ban.

OK. That makes sense. It is more expensive (time, money) to reinvent a present technology, so it takes less effort to base further development on the currently available design.
- Comment on spaceweatherarchive.com 5 months ago:
The demise of just one Gen1 Starlink satellite produces about 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of aluminum oxide, a compound that eats away at the ozone layer. A new study finds these oxides have increased 8-fold between 2016 and 2022, and the recent surge is increasing the pollution even more.
More details would be nice. Does it really have a measurable effect on the ozone layer?
On the bright side, each reentry produces a beautiful fireball–and the odds are increasing that you’ll see one.
Huh.

factory example
Thanks. I think I get it now. Besides physical constraints (availability of resources, natural laws and the knowledge of them), society’s inherent values and rules (like work safety, minimum wage, worth attributed to a group of people/ the environment / animals) affect the way things are done.
If work force is cheap and abundantly available and the workers’ health or wellbeing isn’t considered as too relevant the resulting solution to achieve something is very different from one with different preconditions.
computers … because they’re so general purpose, more cultural values get embedded. Like in the example above, there are decisions that aren’t determined by the goals of what you’re trying to accomplish, but because computers are so much more open ended than physical robots, there are more decisions like that, and you have even more leeway in how they’re decided.
The moral/ social/ economic decisions which are made are affected by the opportunities which a technology has to offer? OK, yes.
The versatility of computer technology makes it a tech which can be used in many harmful ways. The potential for harm is bigger than let’s say with the invention of the wheel or the plow but not as big as with nuclear fission.Responsibility for the usage of a technology and finding common rules for its usage and enforcing them… hmm.
Technology and what we do with it can’t be viewed as independent aspects?
- Comment on I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better 5 months ago:
When the discussion is about whether technology + an unregulated human society is likely to end badly, then there is not much to discuss.
There are real life test series. In the 80s many countries put rules into place which forced the industry to filter/ treat their emissions. Technology gooood.
Some countries restrict their people’s access to personal fire arms more than others. Statistics show that shootings are more likely, when everybody has a gun. Technology baaad.
In my opinion it is mostly about the common rules a society agrees on. Technology amplifies both ways and needs to be moderated when it is misused.

Never heard of this spoon invention story. I have doubts.:) I’m almost certain that eyes have been carved out by means of spoon. War, civil unrest and suppression of weaker minorities show that we have it in us.
