I guess you live in a country with loads of spare IP addresses. Here in the UK they change every few days and IPs get rotated between all ISPs, so you can’t even deduct which ISP I’m using. And sometimes my IP is not even a mainland UK IP, but some weird shit from across the world, because Empire, lol.


Your IP changes all the time, it doesn’t matter. The best someone can deduct from your IP is the country.



If you want to run Ollama and other ML stuff, you’re looking at buying an RTX4090, my friend. Affordable and ML are two things you can’t put into one sentence.


I have four Raspberry Pi 4 running, so that’s 15W max each or 60W max total. Usually they consume much much less.


It will be more profitable to throw dead bodies into industrial composters and generate energy which can then be sold for a sweet profit.





You don’t need much money to open a business. You just need to pay a small fee to register a company, anyone can manage that.



You can move to North Korea and enjoy life without rich people without killing anyone.


There are less and less of them because taxing wealth doesn’t work.


If employees own 60% then they should invest 60% of a company capital.



Again, it might be news for you, but it’s a huge business with many layers. There are plenty of professional rippers and crackers who earn a living one way or another. There are plenty of underground translators and streamers. Ads, hostings, seed boxes, TV boxes, different partnerships - there’s a lot of money flowing.

Just go to any public tracker and you will see ads. Download some subtitles and they often contain ads as well. And then you have partnerships like targeted attacks on software developers, etc. Then there are normies who are getting scammed into buying pirated content for full retail price by physical media vendors. All kinds of handy people who will install you a dish to receive pirated satellite TV “for free”.





If you have more money, that means that society values you more. Thus you matter more. You’re just a better human being when you have more money.


Because when you’re using Docker, you shouldn’t use Proxmox. And to be fair, I don’t understand why people are using Proxmox at all.


Maybe normal, maybe not. What software do you run there?


I thought about setting up a mini PC, which can work beautifully, but the apps are crap, so I decided against that idea. I mean I personally can deal with hacky solutions, but not my family members. Synology software turned out to be a transparent replacement for the services my family is using.


$18 per year? No thanks. But a good find.


Are they small spikes spread across time or large chunks of heavy load, like 80%+ load for hours? If it’s the first, then probably it’s just normal operation. Otherwise check your running processes and start tracking what’s going on during high loads.


Ok, show me a good SFTP client which auto-uploads the photos I take on Android an iOS devices, let’s me share them with anyone I wish and creates a photo library with tags, date grouping, etc.



I need CPU and other metrics because recently one of my Docker containers got infected with DDOS software and CPU spike was a tell tale.


Mmm, forgot about Zabbix, they’re actually from my home country and I used to know some people there.


SFTP is not the same as Drive functionality, that’s the thing. Again, Syncthing solves a different problem, it’s not applicable here.


After tinkering with several software packages like NextCloud I decided to buy a Synology NAS instead. Their mobile apps are much better than anything open source today and they do a great job of de-Googling your life. The apps are so good that your non-techy members of the family won’t even notice the change.


Syncthing is not a good solution at all. It requires a persistent connection. That means you will have crazy battery drain and you will have issues when your mobile devices roam between networks. Syncthing is not a replacement for Google Drive/Nextcloud, it solves a different problem.





What’s the difference between Prometheus and Telegraf? Why do you prefer Telegraf?


I use Ansible for management, I just want to see nice graphs and maybe get alerts when things go south. Thanks for recommendation.


Any recommendations for monitoring my servers?
Hi, I have a bunch of Raspberry Pies hosting all kinds of stuff and I want to have a monitoring solution for all of that. What would be your recommendations? My goal is to be able to have an overview of CPU load, network load, CPU temp and to see what's going on inside docker containers as I have everything dockerized. I'd like the solution to be open source. I want the solution to be web browser accessible and have nice load graphs with history. I don't want to spend too much time setting it up. All my Pies are running RaspberryOS, which is Debian based.
