I don’t recall exactly, but it’s more like days rather than hours. At some point the instances will mark you as down, and then stop trying to federate with you, so there’s a hard limit but it’s fairly generous and not especially aggressive.

I found the PR for the queue, and it mentions retries but doesn’t seem to mention exact timing, at least to my quick read. ( https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3605 )

Yeah. There’s a retry queue, which does expire after a certain time period, but for a short outage that’s how it’d work.

As with all things email, they probably really wanted to make sure that the mails were delivered and thus were using a commercial MTA to ensure that.

I’d wager, even at 20 or 30 or 40k a year, that’s way less than it’d cost to host infra and have at least two if not three engineers available 24/7 to maintain critical infra.

Looking at my mail, over the years I’ve gotten a couple hundred email from them around certificates and expirations (and other things), and if you assume there’s a couple million sites using these certs, I could easily see how you’d end up in a situation where this could scale in cost very very slowly, until it’s suddenly a major drain.

Huh.

Usually when I run into that I just bounce the Portainer container and it sorts shit out.

Maybe that’s actually causing the tokens to rotate/expire and thus doing the same shit?

I’d argue perhaps the opposite: if you want full moderation and admin freedom, running it on your own instance is the only way to do it.

If you run it on someone else’s server, you’re subject to someone else’s rules and whims.

Granted, I have zero reason to think the admins of any of those listed instances would do anything objectionable, but that’s today: who knows what happens six months or a year or two years from now.

Though, as soon as you start adding stuff to your personal instance, you’re biting off more maintenance and babysitting since you assumably want your stuff to be up 100% of the time to serve your communities, so that’s certainly something to consider.

Cloudflare tunnels are the thing you’re looking for, if you’re not opposed to cloudflare.

You run the daemon on your local system, it connects to cloudflare, and presto, you’ve bypassed this entire mess.

Fennec being a delayed build has been a thing for years at this point: it’s a pain in the ass to get built and in f-droid. I mean, just google ‘fennec f-droid out of date’ and you’ll see people talking about this going back to 2020.

I didn’t exactly find a stunning shocking unknown thing: Fennec is slow on builds, it got outdated, there was a zero-day in older Firefox versions, and so bam: there’s a security issue in Fennec.

Might be worth adding the Firefox security RSS feed for anyone using Firefox or a derivative browser so that you’ve got the best information about issues like this.

I’m not deGoogled, so I just did the play store version, so I’m not sure where else you might grab it.

I just installed standard Firefox until they’ve sorted out their build issues.

Wasn’t Fennec a couple of major revisions behind due to build issues, and one of said major revisions was a zero-day fix, so yeah, Fennec would be vulnerable.

(I dumped it about two weeks ago once I noticed that it was behind the security patch curve.)

Straight up piracy at this point.

I have vanilla-ass white boy musical tastes, so I’ve had little issue finding what I want on Soulseek.

That said, there is one thing about Soulseek that’s not advertised: there’s a freaking enormous list of “blacklisted” terms that won’t return search results even if the data is there.

Lots of banned artist and album names that will return zero results, unless you do something like search for a song or two that’s on the album you want and finding the data that way.

Might be worth seeing if changing what you’re specifically searching for improves your results, since I was dealing with like 70% completion until someone told me about that ah, feature.

Edit: and you can have my iPod from my cold dead hands.

Why are you assuming a desktop user has a fast connection?

There’s still millions of people on slow ADSL/DSL connections, satellite, fixed wireless, and so on.

Don’t use 20mb images when 100kb ones will suffice, good lord.

Comedy NNTP option here.

It’s an established, stable, understood and very very thoroughly debugged and tested protocol/server solution that’ll run on a potato and has clients for every OS you’ve ever heard of, and a bunch you haven’t.

Setting up your own little mini-network and sharing groups is fairly trivial and it’ll happily shove copies of everyone’s data to every server that’s on the feed.

Just encrypt your shit, post it, and let the software do the rest.

(I mean, if it’s good enough to move 200TB of perfectly legitimate Linux ISOs a day, it’ll handle however much data you could possibly be backing up.)

Disclaimer: it’s not quite that simple, but I mean, it’s pretty close to. Also I’m very much a UNIX boomer and am a big fan of the simplest solution that’s got the longest tested history over shiny new shit, so just making that bias clear.

Just a configuration option for Frigate, https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/object_detectors/

Other than picking that type, I don’t think I had to make any other configuration changes as I was already passing the iGPU through to the container for hardware acceleration.

(As a side note, even with openvino, 4 cameras using the hardware decoding, AND jellyfin transcodes, the iGPU basically sits at 5% usage. The openvino stuff is shockingly efficient.)

8th gen is perfectly fine; it’s the same GMA 630 that’s in my 10850k which is doing 4 cameras without even breaking a sweat.

If you can use the openvino stuff, you can skip the coral.

I actually saw a performance improvement moving from the coral to the openvino/iGPU, amusingly enough.

I’ve seen people stuff GPUs in 1 and 2u cases so you probably could depending on how deep the case is/how the internal layout is and if you can find somewhere safe to stuff it.

Can you just get a pcie extender and mount it sideways?

That’s a thing a lot of low-profile systems do that need to stuff tall cards into them.

There are USB enclosures that provide more than 1 drive; what you’re after is a ‘usb attached das’/‘usb direct attached storage’.

Caveat with these is not all of them are the same, and you’ll want to validate the chipset they use works for your use case/OS or you can end up with a lovely pile of drives, all with corrupt data. (Cheap is not your friend here.)
