The screenshot really should have a cat photo on it.

Looks great! GL!

It sticks around in other software just FYI. Maybe lemmy should have something that admins can do? Maybe something super admins can re-instate if a mod states should be un-deleted? I dunno.

Just a nginx server. And it would show the cirrent battery. I had plans for other stuff, but the pixel 6a is a fire hazzard. And its too hot now for cells outside (almost 100 today). So it got decommisioned.

Now theres a meshtastic node connected tp the splar panels.

I made a solar powered phone server. It was great!

Starbucks payments sure did.

Mostly at work. All our stuff was on Azure, so when it went down….I kinda just stood around for the day. It was up/down the entire day. So I went for a coffee lol.

Cache-ing is a hard problem to solve. For MANY years cloudflare was the cheapest and easiest way to solve the issue.

But the same people that started cloudflare have moved on or passed away. Now its just another corp. So yeah we are going to get downtime. In the corporate world, its the standard so no one is going to move off it.

…unless it keeps going down consistently.

For those who are in the know, does memcache work with lemmy/piefed? What is a good Cache for modern day systems?

So far this year its been:
1. AWS was massively down
2. Azure was down a week later
3. Cloudflare down multiple times this year

Thats the ones that affect stuff at work. Fun times.

Such a dumb feature…
Glad they let you turn it off.

I love using it at work. Its a great tool to get everything up and running kinda like ansible. Paired with containerization it can make applications more “standard” and easy to spin back up.

That being said, for a home server, it feels like overkill. I dont need my resources spread out so far. I dont want to keep updating my kub and container setup with each new iteration. Its just not fun.

…ok so Im lying about my system for…some reason?

Synapse looks like its using 200M right now. It jumps to 1 GB when being heavily used, but I only use it for piefed and a couple of other local rooms. Honestly its not doing so much for us so we were thinking of getting rid of it. Its irritating to keep having to set up new devices and no one is really using it.

Peertube is much bigger running around 500MB just doing its thing.

Its a single family instance…you ok?

```

Welp OP did ask how we set it up. And for a family instance its good enough. The ram was extra that came with the comp. I have other things to do than optimize my family home server. There’s no latency at all already.

It spikes when peertube videos are uploaded and transcoded + matrix sometimes. Have a good night!

Freshrss. Sips resources.

The dd I do when I want. I have a script I tested a while back. The machine won’t be on yeah. Its just a small image with the software.

Couple of custom bash scripts for the backups. Ive used amsible at work. Its awesome, but my own stuff doesn’t require any robustness.

Hahaha that’s funny. I hope your not serous.

Al my services run on bare metal because its easy. And the backups work. It heavily simplifies the work and I dont have to worry about things like a virtual router, using more cpu just to keep the container…contained and running. Plus a VERY tiny system can run:

1. Peertube
2. GoToSocial + client
3. RSS
4. search engine
5. A number of custom sites
6. backups
7. Matrix server/client
8. and a whole lot more

Without a single docker container. Its using around 10-20% of the RAM and doing a dd once in a while keeps everything as is. Its been 4 years-ish and has been working great. I used to over-complicate everything with docker + docker compose but I would have to keep up with the underlining changes ALL THE TIME. It sucked, and its not something I care about on my weekends.

I use docker, kub, etc…etc… all at work. And its great when you have the resources + coworkers that keep things up to date. But I just want to relax when I get home. And its not the end of the world if any of them go down.
