Depends if you want to assign IP addresses or not. If you don’t, you just want your own section of the same lan, I.e.all your devices connected to your router but let dhcp pass through then you can just set itnup as an extender

You need an OS app to run and a setting in the BIOS. The app at the OS level gives a heartbeat to the watchdog module on the mother board. If you miss some heartbeats, the firmware on the motherboard sends the reset command.

No, this is a tool that can be used in a well designed architecture. Would I do this with a single database server, probably not. Would I ever run a single database server? Also probably not.

Also, by this point, you’ve probably already kernel panicked or something. There’s not much left that can be saved and you probably needed that backup five minutes before the host came up.

Check if your motherboard has a watchdog function. If the OS can’t ping the watchdog every 5 min or whatever you set it to, the board resets.

Myrecommendations is probably to host a next cloud instance. Does all the standard ‘cloud stuff’. File, contact, calendar sync, plus a bunch if other stuff if you want to add it via plugins. If you’re patient, and a single use you can host it on basically anything. If you decide you want to add users or have a faster site, you can go down the route of sorting out faster hardware or better specs and suck.

Yeah, I that nk a lot of people ‘get it’ but can’t quite explain it. So they tell you they use arch and they they are excited about it.

I’m a pro, I’ve used basically every type of Linuxevwr made. Ive built and run linux from wcratch multiole times, as a lewrning experience, a teaching experience and even protypes for production systrms. I understand the packaging philosophies, I understand the opinionated administration decisions. I’m subscribed to most major distro mailing lists and i understand the political motivations that drive various teams to the different technical decisions.

Arch isn’t for everyone. And I’m totally fine with that. But it is perfect for people who want to build something with well crafted and unopinionated tooling. Of everyone ‘got’ arch they’d be failing at what they ate trying to do.

I have a roughly 13 year old install that I’ve moved through the transition to /usr/ and from sysv to systemd. Its my oldest install. I run almost everything except suse as a systems admin.

As a way to run Linux, I find arch one of the nicest. Rolling release, unmodified packages direct from the dev, unopinionated systems management, arch build system for any packages you want to compile, arch Linux archive that can be used for snapshotting or locking your rolling release, and AUR.

It’s a completely different way to manage and build an OS that no one else is really doing. I find team ‘I use arch btw’ to be extremely annoying but at the end of the day, the arch tooling for building a Linux ypunlike to use means that people are naturally going to want to tell you they built something they find enjoyable to use. That’s not really something a lot of people say about most OSs.

I have a range of issues and annoyances with most major OS, ranging from i cant use this to i wish this worked. Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu/deb flavors, redhat/fedora flavors, openwrt, alpine and other busybox flavors, iOS, Android, Graphine. All have things that mostly work but I’m always working around something.

And finding accurate documentation for issues on distros that have different configuration release to release is a pain, deb, Ubuntu and redhat flavors are especially egregious. I don’t really care how to do this on RH6 or Ubuntu 11, lol, I want docs for the current version.

So they can read your code and use it for copilot

Yes, WebDAV will max your local connection. Its generally not the encryption that makes ssh slow but the fact that it is designed to give real time terminal feedback. In order for you to see each letter typed in an ssh session, the buffers are really small and it intentionally sends a tone of small packets. Great for single characters bad for large file transfer.

Its OK here and then when you need to push a config file or something but moving large files is not really what its designed for and consequently, it sucks.

Well, for starters, tftp is the wrong thing for local file transfers if you want it to be fast. The only reason its still around is because its simple and offer the only file transfer protocol that is built into the firmware of the network card.

You read that right, its a simple file transfer protocol built into every network card made in the last couple decades.

Your best bet for file transfer is probably something like a WebDAV server. Which next cloud can handle for you. You can just enable normal WebDAV on something like httpd but then you gotta handle authentication yourself. (Or allow local and connect with VPN)

Second, I run a fleet of kobos for the family, they alsonwork pretty well with the libraries around the area which the kids love.

Lol, this is peak selfhosted. The obvious solution is to get a router/DHCP server that is normal enough to push out two DNS servers.

The selfhosted way is to set of keep alived or a load balancer, because why the fuck not.

Maybe, the problem with old reddit is that it’s as much about the comments as it is the content. Comments are hard to advertise on. Where card style scrolling content is great for advertising. Scroll a couple cards with a 20-60 second engagement, look at an ad, scroll a little more. . …

However, I don’t see this as being a great way to farm content for language models, the content engagement tends to drop significantly with the endless scrolling so my guess is that it’s a short term play to prove they can sell ads before the IPO.

A Yes, if you know what you are doing. Here is chat running live to show it can be done: https://fruitchattest.click/client.html

Lol, how helpful. Also no clients so basically a non starter for almost everyone.

What makes this any better than IRC?

Yeah, kbin seems to be a php8 service vs a compiled rust service from some lite poking.

Yes, this is called split horizon dns, basically, you have to control the DNS servers.

First, make a forwarding/resolver/cache, tell it to forward all requests for your_domain to your internal authoritative DNS server, it will return your internal IPs, externally though, when that domain is looked up, it will return the public ips of that host.

Heh, if I’m Google I’m just calling it. They have nothing to lose, a single Twitter team is a drop in the bucket for them.

Wonder how much of them not just killing the servers is to avoid a monopoly lawsuit/perception.

I’d assume if they (Twitter) were a normal non-social advertising company they’d just cut them off and be done. Granted it’s hard to know how long they haven’t paid, but my guess is basically since Elon took over.

I don’t think signal supports sms any longer. I’m switching to matrix because of that.

Put a dev box in the cloud/Colo whatever run tmux, learn about sync panes, work on multiple hosts at once, …, Profit
