They're talking seriously about canceling or postponing the Olympics, so yeah.

I have to ask, did they pay the 6k license fee yet?

Yes, even if they're a tad bit on the large side of what I'm looking for they're still looking quite compelling - unfortunately relevant models are not on sale in my region and the pricing becomes less attractive after shippi

Rock Pi 4, Nano Pi M4, Orange Pi 4B, and Pine HardROCK64 ( this one ETA April) are all RK3399, which I think should be able to handle that. Then there's also Khadas VIM3.

Call me stuffy, but somehow I think that, for example, Ms Office managed to have more user-friendly UX (Clippy and performance aside) back when they had 0 telemetry.

Right, but I do think this is better handled at the OS layer. Hardcoding everyone to route through Cloudflare is a hardly a net win, and might be better or worse than your ISP depending on who and where you are.

Yeah, this is a bit what I mean with doing it pragmatically - at least when you choose provider-specific services know that either 1) you have an idea of how you would migrate it or 2) it is a conscious decision to leverage a USP. By taking

Which is great from a local sysadmin perspective. With DoH I have no control of what various apps on devices on my devices are querying.

And now they have a one-stop shop for all their DNS surveillance needs.

For sure, there are a lot of factors to consider here. For heavy workloads where you need solid I/O, the cost for the same performance on baremetal vs VMs on cloud can be >4x so you could even afford to have a duplicate setup on ano

For a startup, it can work out like this: Start out on AWS/GCP/Azure in the initial phase when you want to optimize for velocity in terms of pushing out new functionality and services. When you start to require several message que

These are some valid arguments against third-party providers. Assuming nobody's perfect, I still see benefit in having redundancy for cases of downtime. Could just be a duplicated setup on a separate physical network (if all your DNS

Sure, it's just that the only situation I see a BIOS password making sense is in the presence of some intrusion-detection mechanism that would perform some kind of destruction/lockdown/alarm so that attempting to bypass it wo

I was of the impression that BIOS passwords were in general not something one should rely even as a layer when assuming physical access. In the (not that) old days it was usually just a matter of removing the internal battery to reset it. H

Cool, do you have any software to recommend for a casual power user who would like something a bit more lean than BIND from a configuration perspective? pdns seems nice, and there's an official terraform provider for it as well.

by Legogris 7y ago
Indeed. I am curious to see what comes out of attempts at decentralizing this such as Handshake[0] and ENS[1]. I think I saw something similar with prominent backers come up here on HN the other week but can't recall it now. Namecoin[2

I looked into self-hosting DNS and it doesn't seem like that big of a deal as long as you can ensure uptime to be honest. If you set up the two first on different hosts and possibly have #3/4 being cloud providers I think you&#x27

After a quick scroll-through I have a very similar setup. One thing to watch out for is that you really want to set up TLS and ACLs for Consul, Vault and Nomad as early as possible (maybe ACLs for nomad is not as critical to have in place f

Maybe there's some element of "geek macho" from their side here, but this is their recommendation for a supporting a "small" workload, where I suspect you find yourself on the very low end of that. Like, you're

Their documented "minimum requirements" are quite ridiculous TBH. I mean, officially Vault requires 6 Consul servers (dedicated to Vault, mind you) to be considered ready for production. I doubt most companies using Vault with Con

As a free software alternative to Plex, Jellyfin is definitely worth considering. FSF fork of Emby, integrates well with other software like Radarr, Sonarr, Jackett etc. https://jellyfin.org/
