Ten research teams were honored Thursday at a satirical science awards ceremony that was hosted outside the U.S. for the first time due to travel concerns.

Sigh

The more I learn about the Romans the more I realize how advanced they really were!

I’ve been wrestling with this issue myself recently.

There can be both performance and other issues with a db whose data files are on nfs. That said I’ve done this for years without any real problem. Np db corruption so far - but it’s a possibility and I’ve probably been lucky. I have good backups just in case.

Like you I also don’t want to maintain a “pet” database on my file server. I want to spin up databases in kubernetes pods and not use local now storage.

I’ve been investigating using iSCSI instead. It’s “block level” rather than “file level” and performs better with a database. Also none of the locking issues mentioned. It’s a recommended way to do remote storage for a db.

The downside is that it’s less resilient to the file server becoming unavailable.

Might be worth investigating for you as well - I’ll be performing some poc tests to figure out how much of a pain it may be (I don’t want to need to fsck a bunch of targets after a file server reboot).

I’m not asking them to donate their time.

There’s a difference between offering your own labor for free and asking others to donate their time for “exposure”.

No? But I’m not the one offering “exposure” for art.

That’s a very long way to spell “yes”.

You’re asking artists to work for “exposure?”

The replies to this story are making me lose faith in humanity.

Is this useful? They’re started but doing absolutely nothing. Who cares? You need to plan for max usage not idle.

My forgejo instance running right now is using 1070MiB. That’s way off your 173MB.

Trump-branded lysenkoism.

Also, it might not.

No.

At the very least it’s a mistake to say the law is “settled” at all. It’s barely been tested.

Huh. I mostly read people moralizing the use of AI and wanting to slap a scarlet AI on anyone who uses it while derisively using the terms “slop” and “vibe” to poison the well.

Restic will compress as well.

You could just install dovecot and search over imap or pop3 from any email client.

OMG.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity

In security engineering, security through obscurity is the practice of concealing the details or mechanisms of a system to enhance its security. This approach relies on the principle of hiding something in plain sight, akin to a magician’s sleight of hand or the use of camouflage. It diverges from traditional security methods, such as physical locks, and is more about obscuring information or characteristics to deter potential threats. Examples of this practice include disguising sensitive information within commonplace items, like a piece of paper in a book, or altering digital footprints, such as spoofing a web browser’s version number. While not a standalone solution, security through obscurity can complement other security measures in certain scenarios.

You don’t know what you’re talking about - please stop. It’s embarrassing. It’s a long-standing industry term not some weird phrase I just made up. Nobody is saying “Linux is obscure”.

Enjoy your “security”. 🙄

Sorry - which part of your comment added anything of value? “can help to minimize the attack surface”? 99% of the time a proxy just passes traffic through. Unless you’re talking about a WAF which is a) a different thing and b) NOT what any home gamers are talking about when they recommend nginx, traefic, etc. to newbs.

Just google the term next time rather than embarrassing yourself.

See what I mean?

As if a proxy blindly passing traffic directly to a backend server “reduces attack surface” in any meaningful way. 🙄

The self-hosted crowd thinks reverse proxies protect you from the Internet. Don’t expect too much of them.

You could have just said that you don’t know what “security through obscurity” is.

It goes right to the top!

2.5’ hdd but besides running tight on space

No wonder - that’s huge! (sorry - couldn’t resist)

While I don’t exactly intend to run RAID

At these sizes you may want to consider it - at least a mirror. That’s a lot of data to lose and/or have to fetch from backups. Being able to limp along until you get a replacement is an enormous time-saver.

Underrated comment.

A “howto” that just gives you scripts and commands to run is pointless. You need to understand the technology, and networking in particular.

No?

2Gig on S3 (in us-east-1) is like $0.05/mo. and is enough for either Nextcloud or Immich. Your data is going to be the largest consumer of space.

Things like Immich or Nextcloud are far too much for what I need, I basically just need a password-protected upload interface and the ability to grab the direct links to the images to embed them.

Why do you care that they do things you don’t need if they also do what you need?

Because these do just what you need and do it well.
