  • It's interesting on it's own, since I do remember my android phone disconnecting from wifi when enabling the hotspot. If I understand it right, this type of wifi bridge requires two radios to work efficiently, but it may have changed in latest Wi-Fi standards. Curious nontheless.

  • In a hobby it's easy to get carried away into doing things according to "best practices" when it's not really the point.

    I've done a lot of redundant boilerplate stuff in my homelab, and I justify it by "learnding". It's mostly perfectionism I don't have time and energy for anymore.

  • If you're the only user and just want it working without much fuss, use a single db instance and forget about it. Less to maintain leads to better maintenance, if performance isn't more important.

    It's fairly straightforward to migrate a db to a new postgres instance, so you're not shooting yourself in a future foot if you change your mind.

    Use PGTune to get as much as you can out of it and adjust if circumstances change.

  • There's little technical reason, at least no security features were ever tested on the scale Windows is every day.

    The real reason is nobody bothers to target Linux desktop users because there's dozens of us (dozens!) while there's billions of Windows users. It's about efficiently spending your money and time while investing into crime.

  • I'm no optical physicist, but based on empirical evidence of not melting due to light arriving from a huge ball of thermonuclear fire 8 light minutes away (and sure it's not exactly focused), I propose a hypotesis that light-based energy transfer in atmosphere is very lossy and not feasible as a weapon.

    Which is perfect for this community, of course.

  • I had budget to try xeon d soc motherboard for a smal itx case. Put 64gb ecc ram into it but could hold 128gb. That server will be 8 yo this year. That particular supermicro mb was ment for some oem routerlike 64_86x with 10g ports and remote management. I'm not sure if intel or amd have any cpus in that segment anymore, but it's very light on wattage if mostly idle/maintaining vms.

    One option I'm looking at is to get a dedicated hetzner server, even the auction and lowest grade 'new' offerings are pretty good for the price if you account for energy costs and upfront gear cost.
