    The famous tank man photo? That guy wanted the tanks to stay to make sure the area was safe. He was protesting them leaving. There’s video of him that I guarantee people like you haven’t seen despite it being on YouTube.

    Aye man cmon not even the most patriotic Red White Blue American believes the IRS are good guys lol


  • You might want to check what the actual hardware is first. You’ll probably be fine, but client 802.11 hardware can sometimes be underwhelming for hosting because they don’t have good stuff like beefed up MuMIMO.

    Although that’s assuming you will have a lot of traffic going through it, so you could always just test throughput and latency with iperf to see how well it functions.

    It depends on what it is really + convenience. There are lots of morons out here running basic info sites on full beefy datacenter VMs instead of a proper cloud webhost service.

    The most you’d be getting out of cloud is reliability. Self host assumes you don’t have any bottlenecks (easy enough to pass), but also 99% uptime which is impossible unless you are running with site redundancy (also possible, but I doubt how many people own multiple properties with their own distribute or private cloud solution).

    if 95% uptime is acceptable, and you don’t live in an area with outage issues from weather, I’d say go for it. Otherwise, you can find some pretty cheap cloud solutions for basic websites. Even a cheapo VPS would probably work just fine.


  • I have run photoprism straight from mdadm RAID5 on some ye olde SAS drives with only a reduction in the indexing speed (About 30K photos which took ~2 hours to index with GPU tensorflow).

    That being said I’m in a similar boat doing an upgrade and I have some warnings that I have found are helpful:

    1. Consumer grade NVMEs are not designed for tons of write ops, so they should optimally only be used in RAID 0/1/10. RAID 5/6 will literally start with a massive parity rip on the drives, and the default timer for RAID checks on Linux is 1 week. Same goes for ZFS and mdadm caching, just proceed with caution (ie 321 backups) if you go that route. Even if you end up doing RAID 5/6, make sure you get quality hardware with decent TBW, as sever grade NVMEs are often triple in TBW rating.
    2. ZFS is a load of pain if you’re running anything related to Fedora or Redhat, and the performance implications from lots and lots of testing is still arguably inconclusive on a NAS/Home lab setup. Unless you rely on the specific feature set or are making an actual hefty storage node, stock mdadm and LVM will probably fulfill your needs.
    3. Btrfs has all the features you need but is a load of trash in performance, highly recommend XFS for file integrity features + built in data dedup, and mdadm/lvm for the rest.

    I’m personally going with the NVME scheduled backups to RAID because the caching just doesn’t seem worth it when I’m gonna be slamming huge media files around all day along with running VMs and other crap. For context, the 2TB NVME brand I have is only rated for 1200 TBW. That’s probably more then enough for a file server, but for my homelab server it would just be caching constantly with whatever workload I’m throwing at it. Would still probably last a few years no issues, but SSD pricing has just been awful these past few years.

    On a related note, Photoprism needs to upgrade to Tensorflow 2 so I don’t have to compile an antiquated binary for CUDA support.






  • Google maps couldn’t navigate its way out of a straight road with the shit tier routing algorithm they haven’t updated for a decade.

    I’ve seen GPS devices from as far back as 2005 that can run circles around this absolute junk software, including the touchscreen UX,

    I hate this thing so much that I would pay to have Tesla to release their map system for any device just so we can experience Valhalla outside of OSMAnd and OrganicMaps which both lack the modern rendering flare.

    Seriously the only thing they change every update is a new design made up their yearly hired college interns, and another removed feature to reduce their cloud running cost.


  • This marks a reversal of Biden’s policy aimed at curbing settler violence and supporting a two-state solution.

    He’s gone, you don’t have to keep pandering to his fake ass policy that totally wasn’t full send arms to Israel for 15 months. Blinken clocked out as well.

    Not to mention we were all here when these sanctions got announced, rescinded, and then reannounced, in case it wasn’t already clear a few settlers would likely never be traveling to the USA.


  • I thought the default firewall rule for IPv6 is to block all incoming traffic? At least it is on my hardware out of box.

    Public facing IPv6 doesn’t means its externally reachable, its just how IPv6 works because there is no need for NATing. You can quickly test it by trying to SSH to it to make sure its not reachable. Otherwise just add a firewall rule that block all incoming IPv6.

    Anyway if you want to make sure it also doesn’t connect to the internet, you could just do the inverse and MAC ban outgoing traffic or put it on a VLAN.
