  Yes, I use half of the RAM as compressed swap. The performance hit wasn’t noticeable in my workflows and at least it doesn’t wear out my SSD.

  Using zram genuinely feels like downloading ram.

  Tasmota can help getting rid of the cloud bullshit on most ESP based devices. Of course it requires some tinkering and is not accessible to all users.

  Stockholm syndrome…

  It seems to me that the issue is how we consume the web versus games: We’re used to pay to play but not to browse the internet. Valve is able to make money without relying on affiliations or donations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some sites check if the account does not exist yet to show a registration form.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This man is suffering⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of that southpark episode…

  That wouldn’t be too bad. There could be a new permission for precise time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lasagnaius⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kebabius?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Element Desktop has profiles. But sadly there are no profiles on the mobile app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From Docker with Ansible to k3s: I don't get it...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right to be reluctant to apply everything by hand. K3s has a built-in feature that watches a directory and applies the manifests automatically: docs.k3s.io/installation/packaged-components

  This can be used to install Helm charts in a declarative way as well: docs.k3s.io/helm

  If you want to keep your solution agnostic to the kubernetes environment, I would recommend that you try ArgoCD (or FluxCD, but I never tried it so YMMV).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kubernetes storage backends⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess the network will be a bottleneck on Garage too. If you want high performance you might need a hybrid solution, like clustering of stateful apps on local storage as well as periodic full backups on a distributed storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kubernetes storage backends⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Longhorn is pretty easy to use. Garage works well too. Ceph is harder to use but provides both block and object storage (s3).

  Did you read the first paragraph of the article?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese AI outfits smuggling suitcases full of hard drives to evade U.S. chip restrictions — training AI models in Malaysia using rented servers⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably the training data.
