Restic doesn’t write your files 1:1 to B2, but instead chunks their content into files according to a configurable pack size (16MiB by default). If you have a very large amount of data, you could look into increasing the pack size, although that comes with its own risks (see the docs above).

Thanks, didn’t know that!

AI breakthrough

That makes it sound like there’s something actually new here, but it seems like it’s just a Chinese company getting closer to what "Open"AI / Anthropic already have.

It’s nice that these things are open source weights, but from a technological view this isn’t a breakthrough.

Edit: Corrected to “open weights”

“To the moon” you say? Take my money!

That’s what they want you to think. This chart is especially egregious with calling it “cost of revenue” as if the other costs weren’t just as necessary for their revenue. If they stop R&D in 2027, they won’t have any revenue by 2028 because their models will be outdated and nobody will want to use them. R&D is simply cost of doing business.

I never claimed it would make security better. I said it would reduce noise, and it does.

Good luck getting e.g. Ansible to work with that. At that point I’d just switch to a hosting provider with an actual firewall.

If you have a public IPv4 address and use port 22, you’ll see lots of login attempts. I wouldn’t worry about it, given that you’ve disabled password login. The only thing I would advise is to disable root login as well (if not done already). Edit: Just saw you’ve already disabled root login.

If you’d like to reduce the noise somewhat, consider changing to a randomly chosen high port. I’ve done this with my VPS and hardly get any login attempts.

Also, CoPilot isn’t a person. It shouldn’t be a co-author for the same reason Google and StackOverflow aren’t.

Simple Mobile Tools was sold a while back, IIRC to an ad company. As a consequence, the Fossify forks were created.
