  • 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.




  • I don’t know why this is getting downvoted because the current implication that everyone is reporting is that Trump’s administration was involved in this ceasfire deal in some capacity.

    You could maybe argue that perhaps Biden leveraged the threat of Trump continuing to support Israel which would prevent any ceasfire deal after he takes over. But then it doesn’t seem to match the Israeli response, especially those who did not want a ceasfire. Why would Biden be able to suddenly strongarm Israel on his last few days in office?

    The other option is that Trump for whatever reason did not value continuing to supply Israel with arms similar to how he’s about to drop Ukraine. Netanyahu sees value in negotiating it under Biden to get the most he can out of it before Trump takes over. But then his former lobbying for Trump doesn’t make sense.

    Could also have just been pressure on Hamas that they perceived which caused them to cave in, since the agreement isn’t exactly permanent, nor does it address the wider issues of who will eventually control Gaza.

    Last time I checked on ansible, it was a sysadmin complaining that he could just do everything better with vanilla bash scripts and that redhat keeps riding it because every company keeps asking for ansible experience, even if it’s now a dated product.

    And just personally, declarative anything seems to defeat it’s own purpose any time you want to do something non standard, which comes up more often than you’d think.









  • They could have won if they utilized their resources properly for their supply lines, accepted research and compensated for research from everyone, didn’t waste resources genociding millions of people, promoted leaders on proper merit and not suckering up to Hitler, making Hitler not be the guy that makes the military decisions, and spent a little more money on espionage.

    So like basically if they negated all the downsides of running a fascist ethnostate lol.

    I’m pretty sure Hitler explicitly threw out research done by Jews which is why their nuclear research ended up being basically non existent and nowhere near what the USA had originally feared.
