I was in the same place as you a few years ago - I liked swarm, and was a bit intimidated by kubernetes - so I’d encourage you to take a stab at kubernetes. Everything you like about swam kubernetes does better, and tools like k3s make it super simple to get set up. There _is& a learning curve, but I’d say it’s worth it. Swarm is more or less a dead end tech at this point, and there are a lot more resources about kubernetes out there.
They are, but I think the question was more “does the increased speed of an SSD make a practical difference in user experience for immich specifically”
I suspect that the biggest difference would be running the Postgres DB on an SSD where the fast random access is going to make queries significantly faster (unless you have enough ram that Postgres can keep the entire DB in memory where it makes less of a difference).
Putting the actual image storage on SSD might improve latency slightly, but your hard drive is probably already faster than your internet connection so unless you’ve got lots of concurrent users or other things accessing the hard drive a bunch it’ll probably be fast enough.
These are all Reckons without data to back it up, so maybe do some testing
Pretty much - I try and time it so the dumps happen ~an hour before restic runs, but it’s not super critical
pg_dumpall on a schedule, then restic to backup the dumps. I’m running Zalando Postgres in kubernetes so scheduled tasks and intercontainer networking is a bit simpler, but should be able to run a sidecar container in your compose file
If you figure it out, I know several companies that would be more than willing to drop 7 figures a year to license the tech from you
Yeah, they are mostly designed for classification and inference tasks; given a piece of input data, decide which of these categories it belongs to - the sort of things you are going to want to do in near real time, where it isn’t really practical to ship off to a data centre somewhere for processing.
Seems pretty reasonable. At the end of the day people have to eat, so projects like this either trundle on as hobby-and-spare-time projects for a few years until people get bored and burnt out, or you find a way to make working on the project a paid gig for the core people
This is an “x-y question” - what are you actually trying to achieve?
Clearly you are concerned about… someone… knowing your home IP address - who, and why?
As in, hardware RAID is a terrible idea and should never be used. Ever.
With hardware RAID, you are moving your single point of failure from your drive to your RAID controller - when the controller fails, and they fail more often then you would expect - you are fucked, your data is gone, nice try, play again some time. In theory you could swap the controller out, but in practice it’s a coin flip if that will actually work unless you can find exactly the same model controller with exactly the same firmware manufactured in the same production line while the moon was in the same phase and even then your odds are still only 2 in 3.
Do yourself a favour, look at an external disk shelf/DAS/drive enclosure that connects over SAS and do RAID in software. Hardware RAID made sense when CPUs were hewn from granite and had clock rates measures in tens of megahertz so offloading things to dedicated silicon made things faster, but that’s not been the case this century.
True randomness is really really hard to do in software; bigger CPUs often have hardware random number generators that exploit some sort of quantum or otherwise non-determanistic phenomena, but in software the best you can do is pseudo-random. These are algorithms that generate a sequence of randomly distributed numbers, but in a deterministic way - from a given starting state, it will always generate the same sequence of numbers. Good algorithms are designed to make it hard to infer the starting state just by observing the sequence (if you can do that, you can run the algorithm in parallel and predict the next number), but that’s an active area of research.
At a guess, the calculator was programmed to initialise the random number generator from something that it is hard for the user to control (milliseconds since power on would be a good one) the first time you used it, but maybe TI got lazy and just initialised it to a constant value
I’d be super surprised if this was western intelligence. Stuxnet escaping Natanz was an accident, and there is no way that an operation like this would get approved by the NSAs Vulnerabilities Equities Process.
My money would be MSS or GRU. Outside chance this is North Korean, but doesn’t really feel like their MO
It’s not just let’s encrypt - the common names of any SSL cert issued by a public CA have to be recorded in a public certificate transparency log. You can use tools like https://crt.sh to search the logs
Previously Gandi, but they’ve jacked up their prices and cut features, so in the process of moving to AWS Route53.
My main requirements are:
I’d considered doing something similar at some point but couldn’t quite figure out what the likely behaviour was if the workers lost connection back to the control plane. I guess containers keep running, but does kubelet restart failed containers without a controller to tell it to do so? Obviously connections to pods on other machines will fail if there is no connectivity between machines, but I’m also guessing connections between pods on the same machine will be an issue if the machine can’t reach coredns?
Cloudflare would probably meet my technical needs, but I refuse to give them any money due to how enthusiastic they are to have white supremacists on their platform
Oh man that brings back some memories.
A guy I went to primary school with was super obsessed with it. He was kinda weird (not that surprising given his parents were super chill with their 10 year old playing this) but lived pretty close by so I’d hang out at his house after school sometimes.
I’ve started a similar process to yours and am moving domains as they come up for renewal, with a slightly different technical approach:
I have one .nz domain which I’ll need to find a different registrar for, cos for some reason route53 doesn’t support .nz domains, but otherwise the move is going pretty smoothly. Kinda sad where Gandi has gone - I opened a support ticket to ask how they can justify being twice the price of their competitors and got a non-answer
This is relevant to my interests, thanks. Looks like it’s pretty early stages though?
Cool - was trying to get set up with v1.94, but had real trouble getting pgvecto-rs to work properly, pgvector seems much more stable and better supported and was a breeze to get running
For anything that is related to my backup scheme, it’s printed out hard copy, put in an envelope in a fire safe in my house. I can tell you from experience there is nothing more stressful than “oh fuck I need my backups but the key to unlock the backups is in the backups fuck fuck fuck”.
And for future reference, anyone thinking about breaking into my house to get access to my backups just DM me, I’m sure we can come to an arrangement that’s less hassle for both of us
