Doesn’t really make sense for self hosting. Filtering the traffic is pointless if the traffic just completely overwhelms your internet.
- Comment on Master Replicas taking pre-orders for new board game Destination: Star Trek: The Next Generation 4 weeks ago:
I want this to be good, but I’m going to guess the gameplay mechanics are something like boardgamegeek.com/…/destination-Hogwarts which isn’t promising.
- Comment on Boeing's troubled capsule won't carry astronauts on next space station flight 5 weeks ago:
Probably don’t want to be limited to only spacex to get up there
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 5 weeks ago:
You started off with an ad hominem attack calling it armchair nonsense, that the weight argument has no merit. I’m pointing out i have actual experience in this area. If you hadn’t been an asshole with your initial reply I wouldn’t have bothered replying, instead here we are.
Everything is a money problem when you get down to it far enough. Why don’t we have mars colonies? Money. Why don’t cars fly? Money. Why doesn’t everyone live in super tall towers that touch the atmosphere? Money. Sure let’s just ignore all the engineering considerations and reduce it down to the absolute basic explanation of “money” so that nobody in this thread will learn anything.
Why don’t we have super tall datacenters? It’s not worth the money to sustain that level of weight in a new tower, and definitely not worth it to overhaul an existing tower.
It’s pointless to call out money as the limit, that’s completely obvious.
Anyways I’m over this thread, byeeeee.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve built out 7 datacenters across 3 countries in my career. I’ve gotten a panicked call from Bell Canada when they realized our deployment density in an older facility, then had to work with them to provide weights of all of our cabinets. Sure though, all armchair nonsense. What’s your background?
30 seconds searching will back me up. digitalrealty.com/…/what-floor-loading-capacity-d…
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 5 weeks ago:
Weight. If you load a 42u rack up with 30lb servers you’re at 1280lbs spread out over about 4sqft, which is over the floor loading limit for most buildings. It’s much cheaper to support the weight in a wider building compared to a taller one.
- Comment on BBC apologises to Trump over edit but refuses to pay compensation 1 month ago:
Having dug up and watched how they edited it, yes a retraction was definitely called for. They cut out almost an hour of content to manipulate his words in a way a journalist should never do.
Fuck paying him any money though. Their response here seems reasonable.

Yay, finally!
- Comment on Was thinking of getting into 3d printing, doesn't this listing seem too good to be true? 1 month ago:
If you’re new to 3d printing, I don’t recommend buying a used budget printer unless you have extreme tolerance for troubleshooting someone else’s problems.
They’re cheap enough new.

You’ve made a virtual disk on the zfs. The vm will never see the zfs, that’s managed entirely by the host.
Yes you’ll want to make a normal partition inside that virtual disk.

I really like the shuttlecraft, I wish they’d sell that on its own.
- Comment on Unveiling the Official LEGO U.S.S. Enterprise-D 1 month ago:
I’m sorry but that looks like ass and it’s $400 usd. If it looked better and was half the price, I’d be all over it.
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 month ago:
You don’t need a dryer to start. I printed for many years and only recently bought a dryer. It definitely helps with older filament, but you don’t need it to get started.
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 month ago:
Yeah. “glass transition temperature” is the term to look up
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 month ago:
It’ll only sag if it heats up and starts to deform, like if you leave it in the sun. It’d probably be just fine under a conpressive load like that.
This is a fantastic doc blog.rahix.de/design-for-3d-printing/
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 month ago:
Not at all.
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 month ago:
Pla would be fine but petg is my default these days. Petg is a bit more strong and less brittle, which will help at lower temps.
Strength is just as much about design as it is about the filament choice.
- Comment on Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships 1 month ago:
I’ve been on Samsung for years and I don’t get this argument anymore. There’s no ads on my phone, and one ui is pretty smooth.
I do use my own launcher so maybe that covers it up, but new Samsung isn’t like what they were a long time ago.
- Comment on Question about Immich 1 month ago:
Are you running it in docker? If so, did you bind the mount properly? Exec into sh in the container and manually test the folder.
If not docker, su to the immich user and test the same thing.
- Comment on Question about Immich 1 month ago:
Like you have it running and added but it’s not scanning?
I can check my config later today if nobody else replies sooner.
- Comment on Question about Immich 1 month ago:
Yes. It’d be pretty silly of it not to.
I just gave it my giant lightroom library.
- Comment on German police mistakenly shoot soldier on training exercise 2 months ago:
According to German daily Bild, the military police fired practice ammunition at the arriving police officers, believing this was part of the military exercise.
Seems justified for the cop to shoot back, but why didn’t they know about the exercises?

I don’t think any lemmy instances can afford to run on the big clouds.

Why would you have to wash your face before eating? Or brush your teeth? You can do it after.
- Comment on What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance? 2 months ago:
We just delete them from minio (our object storage)
- Comment on What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance? 2 months ago:
Yeah it emails us and pops up a thing in the ui where we can mark it as resolved

We dont proxy on lemmy.ca yet, but I assumed thumbnails would still be stored in pictrs like usual? I thought it was just the actual image links that got proxied, and thumbnails were still dumped in like usual.
We turned on cloudflare’s CSAM scanner and remove anything it flags for us.
- Comment on Spare mini PCs? What would you do with them? 2 months ago:
I have all my home infra on one beefy box, except for two things. These are services that I deem critical enough that I don’t want them to have an outage at the same time as anything else.
Opnsense gets a dedicated mini firewall pc, and Home Assistant runs on an old intel nuc
