8 GB RAM or more. OS installed either to SSD, or a HDD that does not store service data (for performance). a modern CPU with at least 4 cores. modern means it has at least AES and AVX2 instruction sets to do math quickly, but probably you can just pick one made in the last 10 years, with less years generally meaning better energy efficiency.

what kind of services do you want to host on it? initial plans, perhaps longer term plans?

oh, the history of this laptop must be on the 37th worksheet, now I just need to scroll there and find it

its just a spreadsheet, until you want to track what happens to it over time. maintenance, failures, …

ntfy can do that too

off topic but do you know about this app for find my phone purposes?

I use molly’s unifiedpush edition, with ntfy, and that works for me. ntfy never crashed on me yet.

also, it’s not signal that handles waking up, but firebase when you get it from the google store, none I think if you install the apk, and unifiedpush if you get molly unifiedpush edition

not that, but 4 GPUs with 16-24GB VRAM I do

well that looks like small enterprise scale

the meaning of zero really shouldn’t be an objective thing. it means: don’t do that

the kernel is literally eating my soldered eMMC chip

my swappiness is 0. yet my swap usage isn’t. plenty of “available” memory (as in, multiple GB)

or designate a different high-endurance storage device for it.

good luck with that on a laptop. maybe the swapiness setting could just work sensibly

“hey, this memory page is never used and this file block is used a lot, so I’m going to put the memory page on disk and the file block in memory and everything will be faster.”

except when not, like when I just copied a multi GB file, it was cached in RAM to be not read again for long, but at least half of my running programs are swapped out. Additionally if swap is o SSD, it has put totally unnecessary wear into it by doing this

I’m not them, but among other reasons they are looking to build botnets (cryptomining, dosing, mass crawling), and they are searching for hosts with low security (or if you just made a mistake)

Just create a wildcard domain certificate !

that’s what I do already, but yeah I haven’t added it to the trust store so far, only on linux for git and curl

If you’re interested I can send you the snipped of a book to fully host your own CA :). It’s a great read and easy to follow !

that would be interesting, thanks for the offer. but according to plan I don’t want to host a full-on CA, just make the CA cert, store them at a restricted place, and build other certs on top of it for use by nginx

for every single subdomain, on desktop. firefox mobile does not even remember the decision. HA Android straight out refuses it, and thats not a local problem but a relatively known one in the community

browsers complain less, and some apps (like HomeAssistant Android) only accept that

mirror!!44!!!

oh nice! I see this is a relatively new feature. thanks!

Because as you suspect, an image backup cannot be done while the partition being imaged is live.

can’t it, though?

macrium reflect’s normal operation is to run when the ststem is running normally. it creates a volume shadowcopy of your filesystem, and backs that up. a BTRFS/ZFS snapshot is basically what a volume shadowcopy is on windows, but with a less fancy name. if you make a snapshot, you can back that up, either with zfs send, btrfs send, rsync, borg backup, whatever. the difference is that on linux it’s not possible to notify programs that a snapshot will happen please sanitize your databases, while windows does that too, so if you restore on linux that’s like if your computer crashed because power went off

sure, it can’t be done with other filesystems, but OP said they have BTRFS. I think the boot partition can be safely imaged too: remount as read only and make a normal image.

how do you use it with proxmox, and for what kind of notifications?
