It’s not about the list of things wrong with (in this case) systemd. I don’t like systemd’s approach either, and I think poettering is a pompous ass. But we’re here now.

The great thing about Linux is that when someone comes around and wants xfce with i3 instead of xfwm, they can have that. Most of us might think it’s a stupid idea, but if they want it, they can do it.

So when it came to systemd, no one ran up and said “I don’t like this”, they just didn’t use it, mostly cause it was half-baked. And hey, if some guy wants to build an all-systemd box, go for it.

The crime of systemd is forcing most of us to use it by shipping it by default with Ubuntu, then Debian, then red hat, etc. I see menus in the debian install that ask what DE to use, whether SSH should be installed, etc, but no sysV/OpenRC/systemd menu choice.

The problem isn’t “what’s wrong with systemd”, it’s “why are you removing my choice to pick”. That’s why this list misses the point.

That is incus. But similar in other implementations of LXC. Docker has similar ratios, but I suspect you know this already.

Also, I fucking hate the person that decided it wasn’t going to do search domains properly or DNS over TCP.

That has been fixed since 3.18.

Look, I’m not sure why you’re challenging me so hard on this, I’m not a superfan of Alpine or anything. I use it when I can because it’s really, really light on memory and so do others. There are lots of cases that don’t work with Alpine, like mongodb, sql, etc. But there are lots of great uses for alpine as well, like networking or anything that works well with busybox tooling.

Have a better one.

Glibc matters on desktop, but the speed advantage doesn’t really matter to services running in cgroup2 containers borrowing the host’s kernel and namespaces.

For op’s purposes, memory density is important, and alpine base images will need about 10x less memory than their Debian counterparts, mostly due to a very pared-down service layout.

There’s a reason a huge portion of docker images are alpine-based.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
Alpine is a fair amount lighter in memory consumption than Debian.

I’m no systemd fan, but this is wacky.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨choosing a NIC for OPNsense⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
VLANs don’t really enter into the equation here. They are layer 2 and will be important for switch choice, but not for NICs.

Poe does add some complexity, so sfp+ will no longer be a good category for this. You will essentially be reduced to a handful of models for 2.5 or 5g without specs.

You might be at the point in your planning where you need to evaluate why you need 2.5g in the first place. There are very few use cases for 2.5g in the home as it is.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨choosing a NIC for OPNsense⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Just go get any of the enterprise parts from a couple years ago. Mellanox, lucent, qlogic, hpe, these are all fairly well supported by freebsd.

I would avoid Broadcom and Realtek, they are better supported today, but performance is an issue.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I corrupting my data?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
They’re gonna say the same thing you’ve read here, which is that if you’re going to virtualize TrueNAS, pass through the controller, not just the disks.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I corrupting my data?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

If you pass a whole raw disk, not virtualized, then TrueNAS should not complain.

Although Smart data counters live on each individual disk, it is accessed via the disk controller interface. No controller, no smart data.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The easy ui is good for those who aren’t living in the terminal all the time.

I used proxmox for nearly 8 years before switching to only containers. It was fine.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I self-host on old iPhones?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
What is your definition of “proper”, in this context?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Setting up a server for a research team. What should be in my checklist?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Although I suppose this could be done in a vm, it’s an otherwise unlikely combo, since this will be an m series Mac and proxmox has no compatible native arm64 version.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DNS server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

In my experience ISPs will block your direct DNS queries overtime,

I have no idea what ISP you’re using, but that’s probably not true. Lots of devices have hard-coded DNS servers and nothing would work if ISPs stated blocking dns upstream queries.

You’re free to have that opinion, and I share it personally.

However, self-hosting doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing, and some ppl have requirements that make cloudflare a sensible option.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proxmox 9 released⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Why do you want this? There are very few valid use cases for it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Your settings are not 1 to 1 on both systems, you’ll have to identify what “auto” means in each context, it’s variable depending on where ffmpeg lives.

Are you looking for an android app to control radar and sonar, or to control an nzb backend? They have different functions.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New server sanity check⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The 720 is not going to benefit from power savings, even going to hot-spare for the power supplies. These things are relics from the time when power was cheap.

I couldn’t get my r720 down below 160w, which is unacceptable for just running some containers.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mITX boards on amazon any good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I have 5x1080 streams to my frigate container and it only has a coral tpu passed through, 4 to 8% CPU usage in the container. The arc will not yield any advantage unless op is using vino to run the ml, but they pointed out that they are getting a coral tpu.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Rsync in a cron job would do it, no?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Finally retired proxmox (actually I just removed pve packages and repos). Left the nfs export on there and hardened to whole thing.

Now I’m slowly working to get all my installs into layered ansible playbooks. Fortunately, there exists an incus ansible module.

With separate, mounted, persistent data, it’s getting very close to docker in easy deployment.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Whether your ip changes frequently depends on your ISP, but it’s not necessary. My public IP changes about once a year, but I use my router to update my dns and make ally external services rely on DNS and not IP to connect.

You can also do this, look up “dynamic DNS”. You just need to register a DNS name (can be free) and set up the updates to make it accurate.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mITX boards on amazon any good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I checked the specs on 5 modern, newly released IP cameras. They all use h264/h265, aka AVC1 and HVEC. Not surprising, cause that’s part of the spec.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mITX boards on amazon any good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m angrily going to go look because you’ve introduced doubt in my mind. And I don’t like not knowing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mITX boards on amazon any good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You are mistaken. Frigate ingests rtsp and direct streams using HLS, which only accepts h264 or h265. The vast majority of cameras encode in h264. H264 is a trivial decode operation on modern hardware within the last decade.

I am currently looking at CPU usage in my frigate container with 5 1080p RTSP streams and it is hovering at between 4% and 8%. Without any quicksync configured, just CPU and coral.

I don’t know what your deal is, or why you think you know more than folks who have been doing this for years, but stop, please. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mITX boards on amazon any good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The quicksync built-in to the n100 PR n305 is more than adequate to encode/decode media. If that’s all you’re using it for, you don’t need an Intel arc.

With ssh, over 90% of the vulnerabilities are abusing the password mechanism. If you setup pre-shared keys, you are preventing the most common abuses, including in the realm of zero days.
