The Asus BT8 is a wifi 7 router supported by openWRT and there is quite a few of us running it. I think generally OpenWRT is a good way to go and the Table of Hardware on the OpenWRT site will give you a dizzying array of options for wifi 6 and 7 devices that are supported and you get to pick your spec and price from those available.

You might need the modem device if you are using cable, otherwise its FTTH or DSL then you wont.

If you search for OpenWRT tutorials on youtube you will find a McFly or something like that name and he has a bunch of tutorials on how to set up OpenWRT and a range of more advanced networking topics and how to use OpenWRT to utilise them.

At some point the project also just gets hard to maintain with AI, you burn ever increasing tokens the bigger a project gets and AI produces awful code for the purpose of maintenance by hand. Once the bugs start rolling in they realise the AI can’t fix them, they certainly can’t afford to have it constantly load the entire project as context and they don’t know how to fix it themselves and the tech debt produced is immense. So the projects get shut down.

I have just let it grow organically. The front page is an index of various topics from personal things and particular games to household information. Then below that there might be just a page or an index to a bunch of pages often starting just as a list of links. I am often refactoring once a page has a bunch of sub headings of related topics but ultimately now needing multiple pages and replacing the original with the index to those pages. I don’t think I could have designed an index system from the start without the content because I wouldn’t have known what I was going to store.

Standard USB 3.0 is 5gbps, which is quite a bit faster than a hard disk drive so if you get a basic USB adapter it will perform about as you would expect a hard drive to perform just a bit worse. Direct Attach Storage will be many drives connected over USB and then you might run into limitations as the number of drives increases as USB tends to top out about 350MB/s with drives.

The just stopped working was the client stopped syncing? NextCloud decided to stop allow private made certificates with its client in 2025 and its what made me switch. I went to Syncthing which works well and is a lot faster and less resource intensive than NextCloud. I also had to move my calendars and chat as well.

Takes a little bit of setup on some sites where you want to narrow the text to article headers or such but its a really versatile tool for tracking websites without RSS. What I wish it did a bit differently was how you subscribe to the actual feed and how it presents the changes, I would like to be able to customise that presentation more.

My ISP provides a /48 for IPv6 via prefix delegation so all internal machines that support it have a ULA and DHCPv6. I have disabled SLAAC . In docker I assign a /64 of that prefix to docker containers. The local addresses is what most of the internal network stuff is based on (DNS etc) rather than the globally accessible address. The PD addresses are only about going onto the internet.

SLAAC actually is just fine, I just didn’t really want to be exposing the manufacturer information of the addresses online so preferred DHCP, but either or both together works from OpenWRT prefix delegation.

The fact it recommends popular stuff is a useful addon feature, its a good way to look at what others are watching.

Its a big problem. I also dump projects that don’t automatically migrate their own SQLite scehema’s requiring manual intervention. That is a terrible way to treat the customer, just update the file. Separate databases always run into versioning issues at some point and require manual intervention and data migration and its a massive waste of the users time.

31 Containers in all. I have been up as high as ~60 and have paired it back removing the things I wasn’t using.

I also tend to remove anything that uses appreciable CPU at idle and I rarely run applications that require further containers in a stack just to boot, my needs aren’t that heavy.

I reject a lot of apps that require a docker compose that contains a database and caching infrastructure etc. All I need is the process and they ought to use SQLite by default because my needs are not going to exceed its capabilities. A lot of these self hosted apps are being overbuilt and coming without defaults or poor defaults and causing a lot of extra work to deploy them.

On the one hand they were talking selfhosting and then they pull out multiple $10s thousands rack servers. People don’t need a data centre at home to sync some files, pictures, email and play some media!

Every one always says XMPP and there were a lot of recommendations for ejabberd. I tried this recently and it was a total disaster, I do not have a working chat server. If I followed the docker instructions the server would just crash with no details of what went wrong. Where it should have been creating a default server config file it was instead creating a directory with the wrong permissions then promptly crashing. I tried following their documentation but after about 6 hours of messing about and adding more and more I still couldn’t get a client to login to it. I have no idea how to make this work.

So whatever the solution ultimately is I can’t recommend Ejabberd.

Initially a lot of the AI was getting trained on lower class GPUs and none of these AI special cards/blades existed. The problem is that the problems are quite large and hence require a lot of VRAM to work on or you split it and pay enormous latency penalties going across the network. Putting it all into one giant package costs a lot more but it also performs a lot better, because AI is not an embarrassingly parallel problem that can be easily split across many GPUs without penalty. So the goal is often to reduce the number of GPUs you need to get a result quickly enough and it brings its own set of problems of power density in server racks.

A rich country with poverty enforced on its people, the wealthy is only for a small select few. Which is why you don’t have healthcare and worker rights and everyone can afford to have a house, food and family. The presence of a rich guy that can spend this amount of a theme park says it all about the inequality in our societies, while other people starve to death he is making fun rides. Its a failure of many successive elections, the electorate is at fault.

Grain’s old and original content before it became mostly hermitcraft was videos about teaching you about how to build things, houses and interiors etc. They are really good for teaching you how to build much better more creative buildings and while things in minecraft have expanded since they are still very relevant and a rapid introduction to the principles of minecraft creative design.

I use a 5600g on b450 ITX board and 4x 8GB Seagate drives and see about 35W idle and about 40W average. It used to be 45W because I was forced to use a GPU in addition to a 3600 to boot (even though its headless, just a bad bios setup that I can’t fix) and getting a CPU with graphics dropped my idle consumption quite a bit. I suspect the extra wattage for your machine is probably the bigger motherboard and the less efficient CPU.

It is possible to get the machine part down into single digits wattage and then about 5W a drive is the floor without spinning them down, so the minimum you could likely see with a much less powerful CPU is about 30-35W.

Make sure none of the exceptions are ticked and the Minimum number of articles to keep per feed is also 25 or below. Then its up to the cron when that runs so you might have to manually purge it and optimise the database to see what it will actually keep.

I can’t say I have ever worried about it, been running FreshRSS for years and it seems to keep its database size in check fairly well and the defaults have worked fine for me and it rarely gets above 100MB. So I know it “loosely” works in that old articles are absolutely getting purged in time but have no idea how strictly it follows these rules.

https://grid.iamkate.com/ and https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/. https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/72h/hourly is also of interest as it shows some comparison across countries on CO2e intensity across nations.

You can’t check historical granular data but you can look at that granularity for the past 24 hours. If you look at this over many years on many different days you get an impression of the max and minimums of demand and production of the various types as I do now. Wish they did some more stats breakdown however so this was clearer from someone coming new to the site without experience of the data.
