I’m quite happy with EuroDNS. They even include free email housing if you want it.

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. I’m not sure I’d be happy in a fully remote role where you’ve got hundreds of employees voting on how you build stuff, but I know that there are lots of people who dig this pattern, and they’re clearly doing Good work.

It’s a rather brilliant idea really, but when you consider the environmental implications of forcing web requests to ensure proof of work to function, this effectively burns a more coal for every site that implements it.

I find Croc to be rather just good for this.

This looks really cool actually. I’ve created an account. Thanks for sharing!

Now I just have to find a #solarpunk “pub” :-)

Ooh! I have something for this.

This is pretty slick, but doesn’t this just mean the bots hammer your server looping forever? How much processing do you do of those forms for example?

You might be interested in this project where someone has hooked up a low-power system to Mastodon and is tooting through it stories about the experience. The project author may also be worth contacting.

What exactly are you self-hosting that’s gobbling up that much data? I’ve been self-hosting my website for decades and haven’t used that much over all that time let alone in one month.

Most of my bandwidth consumption is from torrents and downloading Steam games, but even that doesn’t get me to even 1tb/month.

My guess is it’s the license change. From Wikipedia:

In 2018, some modules for Redis adopted the SSPL. In 2024, the main Redis code switched to dual-licensed under the Redis Source Available License v2 and the Server Side Public License v1.

Valkey appears to be a Redis fork that was triggered by the license change, but since Valkey still uses the original BSD license, I’m not sure I’d favour it over Redis since the latter switched licences specifically to prevent abuse of the BSD license by parties like Amazon.

You can’t really make them go idle, save by restarting them with a do-nothing command like tail -f /dev/null. What you probably want to do is scale a service down to 0. This leaves the declaration that you want to have an image deployed as a container, “but for right now, don’t stand any containers up”.

If you’re running a Kubernetes cluster, then this is pretty straightforward: just edit the deployment config for the service in question to set scale: 0. If you’re using Docker Compose, I believe the value to set is called replicas and the default is 1.

As for a limit to the number of running containers, I don’t think it exists unless you’re running an orchestrator like AWS EKS that sets an artificial limit of… 15 per node? I think? Generally you’re limited only by the resources availabale, which means it’s a good idea to make sure that you’re setting limits on the amount of RAM/CPU a container can use.

Syncthing on Android will be discontinued, and there’s a fork already, which as I said above, I use.

I guess it’s been a while then. Syncthing works perfectly for me, with the official latest version in Arch, the older version in Debian, the flatpak on Ubuntu, and the forked version on Android, syncing all my Joplin data all over the place.

I don’t much care for the file format though. The appeal of Git Journal is strong.

Joplin + Syncthing has been great for me. Sync across multiple devices with no third party in between. However the “sharing” in this context is limited to other installations of the entire db. To my knowledge, there’s no way to say “sync these notes with my wife, and these others with my phone only” etc.

It would gBoard’s autocorrect got one final dig in. I did indeed mean Heliboard, and I’ve now installed it with the glide extension and… it’s great! Thanks for the reference!

What does Tubular do for you that the stock New Pipe doesn’t? I’m also curious about neighbours, as I’m still using gBoard and I’d rather switch to something else that still supports swipe-typing.

Each Pi 4 has 8GB of RAM. With six devices, that’s 48GB to play with. More than enough for my needs.
