"Do you need >= 3 nines?" No, it's a one person project. I'd be happy with a single 9 or even no 9s just a 99.0 haha I switched to warm standby to reduce stress on the production db which was in the cloud. There is ju

I've built myself a few problems that I haven't fixed yet: Many materialized views that rely on materialized views. When one at the bottom, or a table, needs a changed all views need to be dropped and recreated. Using a warm stand

Apple and Google should be stripped of the app stores and OS they monopolize. The App Stores should be setup as software foundations.

App Stores need to be taken away from the control of a single corporation and given to a larger non profit made up of multiple stakeholders to manage. Apple should have it's monopoly of the app store taken away.

The Play Store should be taken away from Google and setup as a non profit to facilitate serving copies of software people upload.

Will this support Postgres18 soon? I see the docs say it currently supports Postgres18 beta 2, so possibly just the docs need to be bumped?

I think Prop79 will be good long term but it will take decades for the changes to be felt. I hope that something with a bit more immediate shows up this year as well. Relooking at prop 13 seems to be one option.

I can't stop using AppGoblin to scan apps for SDKs: https://appgoblin.info AppGoblin is a free place to do app research for understanding which apps use which companies to monetize, track where data is sent and what kinds o

In hindsight you are correct about the title not being accurate. "It's trivial to have storage" I'd argue this wasn't trivial for me. Buying $1k of drives+JBOD, acquiring the second hand laptop, getting ZFS working

I use a self-hosted s3 compatible object storage for cheap storage of Android apks and logs. I do push various processed items to Digital Ocean Spaces, so having the ability to use rclone / the same functions for both is useful.

I haven't needed to interact with Garage itself specifically. I've been using Boto3 / awscli / s3cmd / rclone for everything S3 API related and it's worked great. Garage was a few commands to setup, turn on, ge

That's a good point, it is S3 compatible object storage, not just S3. My experience with AWS S3 has impacted the way I use object storage and since this project is syncd to another S3 compatible object storage using the S3 protocol,

That's a really cool idea and matches my use case well. I just copy pasted it to another person in this thread who was asking about the ZFS setup. Your use case perfectly matches mine in that I wouldn't mind much about a few hours

Those are pretty cool. I meant to highlight more, that the laptop has done super well. I can't even tell it's on as I hear no fan / no heat. I guess laptops are pretty good for this as they are great at sipping power when the

My understanding is that Garage is not opinionated and could easily have worked without ZFS. I installed ZFS in Ubuntu, and then later installed Garage. As for the ZFS setup, I kept it simple and did RAID5/raidz1. I'm no expert in

I went with IronWolf, likely due to price, though interestingly they are 25% more expensive than when I bought them six months ago.

Yeah, this was an effort to get around cloud costs for large amounts of 'low value' data that I have but use in my other home servers for processing. I still sync some smaller result sets to an S3 in the cloud for redundancy as we

OP here. There I currently have some things syncd to a cloud S3. The long term plan would be to replicate the setup at another location to take advantage of garage region/nodes, but need to wait for the money for that.

Same! Just tried Copilot heavily for a few days and the autocomplete is terribly slow and clunky. Overall I do like VSCode better but Cursors blazing fast and intelligent autocomplete is awesome, will probably stick with Cursor. Btw, I find

Google should lose control of the app store and it should be managed by a group rather than any single company.

No, of course not. The reference to pasting a public key into an email is in reference to Contabo asking that we copy paste our ip/username/password over email for them to 'troubleshoot'. If the server had been setup wit
