Still missing the only two numbers that matter: gigabytes of vram, and price.

Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply he did nothing at all.

He did a good job of pushing node shrinks, and did an awful lot of them awfully fast.

Though, my vibe is he was probably fired because he had the unfortunate issue of being an engineer and didn’t really have the ability to stay in proper CEO-speak and was talking and causing a LOT of damage to Intel with what he said, when, and to whom.

A good example is shitting on TSMC while being entirely reliant on them for client chips. The CEO thing would have been to just shut up and say how much you like working with them and how great the partnership is but uh, that’s not what he did.

ArchiveBox is great.

I’m big into retro computing and general old electronics shit, and I archive everything I come across that’s useful.

I just assume anything and everything on some old dude’s blog about a 30 year old whatever is subject to vanishing at any moment, and if it was useful once, it’ll be useful again later probably so fuck it, make a copy of everything.

Not like storage is expensive, anyway.

I’m not up on corpo shareholder suits in general, but has there been a high-profile case of shareholders demanding the return of salary from CEOs that managed do nothing useful?

Like, did Carly or Leo have to pay HP back for their blunders? Or Marissa at Yahoo? And so on, etc.

It’s viable, but when you’re buying a DAS for the drives, figure out what the USB chipset is and make sure it’s not a flaky piece of crap.

Things have gotten better, but some random manufacturers are still using trash bridge chips and you’ll be in for a bad time. (By which I mean your drives will vanish in the middle of a write, and corrupt themselves.)

Am I missing something, or is this just the argo tunnel thing Cloudflare has offered for quite a while?

10000% this.

Tell me what it does, and SHOW me what it does.

Because guessing what the hell your thing looks like and behaves like is going to get me to bounce pretty much immediately because you’ve now made it where I have to figure out how to deploy your shit if I want to know. And, uh, generally, if you have no screenshots, you have no good documentation and thus it’s going to suuuuck.

It’s because of updates and who owns the support.

The postgres project makes the postgres container, the pict-rs project makes the pict-rs container, and so on.

When you make a monolithic container you’re now responsible for keeping your shit and everyone else’s updated, patched, and secured.

I don’t blame any dev for not wanting to own all that mess, and thus, you end up with seperate containers for each service.

Time to rename the blue shell to The Shell of Equity, I guess?

I’d probably go with getting the ISP equipment into the dumbest mode possible, and putting your own router in it’s place, so option #2?

I know nothing about eero stuff, but can you maybe also put it into a mode that has it doing wifi-only, and no routing/bridging/whatever?

Then you can just leave the ISP router in place, and just use them for wifi (and probably turn off the wifi on the ISP router, while you’re in there).

Then the correct answer is ‘the one you won’t screw up’, honestly.

I’m a KISS proponent with security for most things, and uh, the more complicated it gets the more likely you are to either screw up unintentionally, or get annoyed at it, and do something dumb on purpose, even though you totally were going to fix it later.

Pick the one that makes sense, is easy for you to deploy and maintain, and won’t end up being so much of a hinderance you start making edge-case exceptions because those are the things that will 100% bite you in the ass later.

Seen so many people turn off a firewall or enable port forwarding or set a weak password or change permissions to something too permissive and just end up getting owned that have otherwise sane, if maybe over-complicated, security designs and do actually know what they’re doing, but just getting burned by wandering off from standards because what they implemented originally ends up being a pain to deal with in day-to-day use.

So yeah, figure out your concerns, figure out what you’re willing to tolerate in terms of inconvenience and maintenance, and then make sure you don’t ever deviate from there without stopping and taking a good look at what you’re doing, what could happen if you do it, and coming up with a worst-case scenario first.

What’s your concern here?

Like who are you envisioning trying to hack you, and why?

Because frankly, properly configured and permissioned (that is, stop using root for everything you run) container isolation is probably good enough for anything that’s not a nation state (barring some sort of issue with your container platform and it having an escape), and if it is a nation state you’re fucked anyways.

But more to your direct question: I actually use dns scopes and nginx acls to seperate public from private. I have a *.public and a *.private cname which points to either my external or internal IP, and ACLs in the nginx site configuration to scope where access is allowed.

You can’t access a *.private host outside the network, but can access either from inside it, and so (again, barring nginx having an oopsie somewhere) it’s reasonably secure and not accessible, and leaves a very clear set of logs (and I’m pulling those logs in and parsing them for anything suspicious and doing automated alerting if I find anything I would not otherwise expect) so I’m happy enough with the level of security that this is, when paired with the services built-in authentication options.

When you say you ‘can’t access local devices’ is it just via the browser, or can you also not ping/telnet/ssh/whatever?

I’ve done it twice!

I’ve always debated between it needing to be on my resume as an ‘Achievement’ or not.

Couple of weeks ago. NSI decided to push some of their domains into CLIENT HOLD status, and that will cause DNS resolution to stop working for the domain.

Took down uh, well, everything: https://status.digitalocean.com/incidents/jm44h02t22ck

[Edit] I’ll have to see if I can find the video.

I can save you the time there, at least: https://youtu.be/hiwaxlttWow

Honestly, I’d contact their support and ask what their processes are and what timelines they give customers for a response/remediation before they take action.

Especially ask how they notify you, and how long they allow for a response before escalation to make sure that’s something you can actually get, read, and do something about within.

It might not be a great policy, but if you at least know what might happen, it gives you the ability to make sure you can do whatever you need to do to keep it from becoming a larger issue.

There was a recent video from everyone’s favorite youtube Canadians that tested how many USB devices you can jam onto a single controller.

The takeaway they had was that modern AMD doesn’t seem to give a shit and will actually let you exceed the spec until it all crashes and dies, and Intel restricts it to where it’s guaranteed to work.

Different design philosophies, but as long as ‘might explode and die for no clear reason at some point once you have enough stuff connected’ is an acceptable outcome, AMD is the way to go.

This new uh, tactic? of going after a registrar instead of a hosting provider with reports is a little concerning.

There’s an awful lot of little registrars that don’t have any real abuse department and nobody is going to do shit other than exactly this: take it down and worry about it next week when they have time.

It really feels like your choice of registrar is becoming as much or more important than your choice of hosting provider, and the little indie guys are probably the wrong choice if you’re running a legitimate business as you’re gonna need one that has enough funding and a proper team to vet reports before clobbering your site.

On the OTHER hand, Network Solutions is just took down DigitalOcean for no reason, so maybe they all suck?

I’m on year 5 with 6 of them and they’re all fine.

RTSP stream to frigate, and then frigate does the magic AI and recording shit.

They’re also not allowed outside the LAN and don’t seem to care about not being all internet connect-y, though YMMV on newer models.

I can’t think of a single case of being annoyed with them other than the mounting pressure is a little wonky and a sufficiently fat corvid can land on them and change the angle on one of the ones in the backyard but I’m not sure I’d blame the camera manufacturer because of a fat crow.
