I get that… fo me though as I have been using Cloudflare for many years I can’t see any reason to change yet. That of course may change

For a cloud service, as such, I’d go for Nextcloud - though it is getting to be a huge behemoth again. Others exist though, and self host your nextcloud is even better!

- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 4 hours ago:
Personally I would look at using a tunnel, something like Cloudflare tunnels (easy to setup, sorts dns out) but many here dislike Cloudflare for a lot of reasons. However the free plan allows you to get started, easily, and then once you are started and serving your blog you can look into other solutions, or failing that stay on Cloudflare. Other tunnels exist but if you have a domain, using cloudflare is the easiest imho to get started

Not necessarily, Cloudflare tunnels, headscale/tailscale will sort that issue out amongst several other ways

The controller is the built in Pi controller in the SoC - the hat just sorts out the logic to route the 5 sata ports

It isn’t that limited, but for zfs arm seems to perform much worse. Plus you often don’t get a full idea of true system load. the biggest limitation is the io, it is very bad for 5 drives in zfs raidz1. the data is distributed across all 5 drives with parity as well. the pi can only do around 500 meg transfers for an nvme drive whilst many other platforms will see 3000 meg, that is why it suffers so much in this case as that 500 meg is across 5 drives. tops you’d get is 10 meg transfer I reckon and that is roughly what you are seeing. you’d be better off with 3 larger drives in raidz1
- Comment on Apparent issues with ZFS on RPi 5 11 hours ago:
this is the limits of a slow interface and 5 drives. See my other reply to enable faster pci speeds. because of how zfs works 5 drives is slower than 3, takes more cache and write speeds especially will be slower, quite a lot slower. with 5 drives and 16gb you can easily have a zfs cache of 12 gigs to help it along, i guess this is why you are getting large gaps between writes. as someone else said a pi doesn’t do well in this case but I reckon you can improve it. however as also said it is never going to be a speedy solution. secure and safe for data but not fast
- Comment on Apparent issues with ZFS on RPi 5 12 hours ago:
A Pi with a hat and 5 sata drives isn’t ever going to perform very well with zfs in raid z1. cpu limited, io limited possibly even ram limited quite quickly. I love zfs but it a bit of a performance hog, though pretty bulletproof if setup correctly! the hat will be through a pci x1 interface, so at least set the pci to gen3 speeds. Jeff tells you about it here

Yup - I like the fediverse too, but I have plenty of clients who don’t. Plenty tried Bluesky, most have left. They all seem to be going towards (shudder) threads now

I totally understand, but it is also why many people I know come, have a look around and are swiftly gone… I was trying (badly) to be pretty generic in my point, you said it a lot better than I could think of at the time
- Comment on Uptick in inflammatory posts 4 days ago:
As a fairly new user to lemmy I have found that the community can be pretty brutal and there are quite a lot of set things that are frowned upon. Windows always gets a lot of abuse, but for me here in the UK the amount of Mac and Linux users is miniscule, for example… yet Windows is frowned upon greatly. Sp whilst not raging, it is deffo anti a fair few things. I know it is to be expected as it is a fairly technical things to use lemmy/piefed/fediverse but it still makes me wince. Like everything these days, the less passionate just don’t post any more so it does bring out some strong responses

- Comment on Any recommendations for peertube frontends? 1 week ago:
I would add that several browser addons that send you to a peertube version of a youtube video exist as well. Can make life somewhat awkward though as quite often the peertube version is actually of a lower quallity. If you are a creator if you use an instance that allows youtube import you can also automagically import videos from YT to your PT channel as well

Mastodon is that new place in town, but most people don’t go really. It’s cheap, nobody tells you what to do but most fo your mates still don’t go there…
X is that club that’s loud, people shouting all the time, trying to get your attention. It’s where you go if you want a wild night and break a few rules - Comment on Just a thought on social media type of things. 1 week ago:
The issue with Mastodon, and pretty much most of the fediverse is that the non techy people do NOT want to choose a server, they just want something to work…
Once you throw in a lot of the positives us people see, it turns it into a negative for them, they have no need or want for decentralisation and they simply don’t sign up. - Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC 1 week ago:
BUT… most people really don’t care about that, they just want to remove ads from facebook or youtube or whatever…
My clients couldn’t care less about what the CEO does, heck they still think facebook is the dogs danglies and youtube is cutting edge plus Netflix is the best streaming service.
Fighting that is way harder than then trying to explain that some software is worse than others. Heck plenty still use Photoshop because they don’t understand that alternatives exist and “everyone at work uses it” - Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC 1 week ago:
Now whilst I enjoy all the comments I actually have to add something quickly that explains why this kind of thing happens. I recently worked with a rather old lady to find out why she was having so many issues with technology and stuff. I found out that when she started work in 1986 she was told that the shared password in her department at the local hospital was “password” and so she has used that on everything she can since to remember it… other gems that they used on whole departments included “qwerty” and “123456” and the best one of all “letmeinnow”. On whole shared networks of 100+ machines…

I still have literally thousands of clients that use Windows and want support… for these kinds of things. Firefox has recently stopped working on a few things and Brave works better for me right now. It’s not convenience when FF doesn’t work…
But I digress, Win 11 here and Brave. My choices, for lots of reasons. Lots of linux boxes as well though. Each to their own and all that - Comment on Self host Blorp, your personal Lemmy/PieFed frontend 1 week ago:
